The power to change stoplights from red to green (and back again)

[-] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You're the only one who is able to see the changes.

Edit: I decided that a superpower which only alters your perception is not really a superpower, so let me improve it: All drivers who have the same eye color as you will be able to see the changed colors. Other drivers will see the original colors. Enjoy!

The power to have ghost doctors from the 1750s perform really bad srs on anyone who tries to think of a bad consequence of me having this power.

[-] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 12 points 10 months ago

The ghost doctors read "srs" as "serious" and just give me a mild glare

I can inflict my current emotional state at will on other people of my choosing.

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

Anytime you use this power, immediately afterwards you feel everyone in a half mile radius's feelings at 200% intensity at the same time.

[-] donslaught@unilem.org 10 points 10 months ago

That seems like a cascading landslide of horniness.

Shape shifting

But it hurts like hell and you are in pain the entire time you shapeshift

I can summon whatever food and drink I want in the moment

The summoning makes you feel nauseous

Be able to have multiple save slots, change the outcomes of a timeline then save it within a savefile, and being able to bring items from different savefiles to the others. Would be cool to collect different iterations of games and movies.

I will always have full knowledge of everything and know how to do anything

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

You never get to use the power for your own enjoyment because people will never leave you alone…you will constantly assaulted with questions because everyone knows you have the answers. You have no peace.

You become completely physically disabled, almost a complete vegetative state, and can't physically do any of it.

[-] TDCN@feddit.dk 6 points 10 months ago

I'll know how to construct a full exoskeleton with a brain interface and communicate the instructions to someone who can build it for me. Just look at how well Stephen Hawkins fared
