What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?
I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or maybe even the next 50 years?

Like a leg?
Those dirty tri-legs.
My daughter wanted to marry a tri-leg from Pizza Hutt. I said “Girl he’s gonna run out on you first chance he gets … triple time!”
She cried and cried, but deep down I think she thought it was a pretty good joke.
Chainsaw?

Seriously though, even some pretty mundane stuff- knees and hips and such that won't crap out on my when I'm old, teeth that won't chip even if I do stupid shit like use them as a bottle opener, there's all kinds of bugs just waiting to be patched out of the human wetware.
And that without even considering the superhuman upgrades that could be considered.
