Is there anything you hate about yourself? About being Human?

Need some wings; this walking around everywhere gets old after a while.

Personally, I hate going to the bathroom to do you know what. I can't stand that part about being Human. I think its nasty.

Would be a lot better with wings. Got a bunch of feathered rats that need some payback for repeatedly messing up my truck. Still nasty, but a bit more satisfying.

The fact that we're still killing each other over stone age delusions that would in rational societies have died out a long time ago. And the fact that we in general are more eager to hate than love.

I am totally against guns. I do not own one nor do I care to own one, but by the same token I have to tell you this:

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Hate is a strong word. I guess if anything, I hate that we have such a short life. There's so much to explore and experience, that it's impossible to be completely satisfied. Also sucks knowing that in my lifetime, I probably won't be able to experience the exploration of space such as colonies on the Moon and Mars.

Things I dislike are religion, stereotypes, and discrimination, which cause people to become divided. These are such unnecessary man-made problems that bring all of humanity down a few notches.

I hate knowing that wherever we are, wherever we go, whatever we're doing... there's always an amount of poop inside us. :s

tl;dr - We're always carrying poop around.

(i guess this applies to any kind of breathing/eating kind of life form as well,... but still.... yiuck !!!!)

Evolving really, really slowly. And not being able to absorb genes from other animals. I want eyeballs that can see in the dark, ultra sonic hearing, anti freeze skin and limbs that can grow back. There are some really cool genes out there on other animals :(

That I can't download knowledge. That I have to learn everything.

This.

If life was like The Matrix, life would be amazing. Downloading a pilots license...

Lots of features of the Human body which stop us exploring deep space is something I hate. G-force, radiation...

You hate pooping? Come on, man! That is one of the most relaxing parts about being human. Perfect time to answer all those pesky text messages, or to play Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies, or finally answer that eighth call from grandma on that day.

Seriously though, I hate the fact that we are mortal. I would be much better suited as an immortal.

when i read the thread title i thought this was about the television program "Being Human"

" If life is so great why are people dieing to get out of it?"

I hate mortality due to human error, ie. me damaging my liver when I was younger, turning yellow and now playing the cirrhosis waiting game

I also hate landlords who are human, especially the type who were family friends until you rented a house from them, then the 1 month you fall short of the rent (After 3 years of paying on time) they give you the option to find somewhere else to live

Two things - aging and frailty. I've always wanted to be a machine, but keeping my irrational, emotional, completely human way of thinking.

"A union of flesh and steel. Strengths of both, weaknesses of neither."

So did you pick the green ending?

Pretty much this. I look at my dog and how easy he is to be pleased. Him just being around me makes him happy.

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
