In this, I presume that your consciousness is presently housed in a human body. (You have my sympathies.)

If you were magically transported into time and place where bodies can be nearly anything and you could choose to inhabit practically anything you wanted, would you be:

@ElectricKeet look, as long as I have the physical capabilities of a carefully-honed supersoldier I could be a cream tart for all I care

@ElectricKeet speaking honestly, being disconnected entirely from organic physiology would be kind of maddening. I like eating and sleeping too much. I'd need those kind of maintenance needs at least simulated.

@hystericempress That's actually gonna come up for @millimax@high.cat when she gets far enough along for the full harmonization – full transfer to her magical robot body. She technically won't need to eat or sleep... except that sleep has been such an influence on the way she thinks that she'll still want at least four hours of "sleep" at night. Plus, she wants to keep her connection to dreams.

And eating? She's kind of a foodie, so she definitely built senses of taste and smell.
