Probably 2 and 3. I’d like to be uber smart instead of the dumbass I am now.

Could be a god in an isolated culture
If you pick 3 then that means you should be able to accomplish 1 with your immense talent
So #8 tastes like pussy?
6 adds a third to your life if you consider people sleep 8 of the 24 hours in a day.
I would go with 3 and 4 probably.
If you age while you sleep though you loose like a third of your life. Like if it pauses you as well how would you ever wake up? You'd like grow a year older every 8 months.
2 & 4 with perfect memory you can learn anything.
1 and 4, easy
Imagine how much you would be able to mess with people if you had telekinesis.
Omnilingual and perfect health. Boom. Next question.
Does "omnilingual" include knowledge over unattested languages, like Proto-Sino-Tibetan and Proto-Indo-European? If yes I'm picking it, and I'm revolutionising Historical Linguistics. (And getting rid of that bloody *e o ē ō vowel system.)
Plus #4.
So 8 is like a one time feeling of love? That sure beats telekinesis
1+3
I assume that being omnilingual means the perfect ability to verbally communicate.
With unlimited learning potential I can do whatever I want. Perfect health can follow easily because apparently getting fit and exercising properly is partly a skill, and frankly I don't want to feel entitled to my own health.
3 and 6 - Be able to master something I enjoy (for me - writing, woodworking, math) and then make living doing I something I love instead of my soul sucking job I have now… and 6 - more time to do the things I love. Without the flaws inherent in eternal life…
3 and 4 are thé likeliest to result in me essentially becoming immortal. Instantly talented at science I could easily turn that good health into lasting well beyond the normal lifespan of earth. Instantly skilled at making the right financial connections to finance it all.
Omnilingual + perfect health, easily.
4 & 7
2 and 3
I think its gonna be 1 and 4 for men
4 and 1. 4 because of obvious reasons, and 1 because it's would be the easiest to monetize efficiently.
6 and 7 for me thx
6 would be so funny Ever drank to much and wasted yourself to the point where you are unconscious? Your friends won't know You just stand up like nothing happened So 1 and 6 obvious call
4 and 6. I could wear myself out and recover several times a day, no need to take it easy. More time for study, housework etc.
2 and 7 for me. I feel like 2 covers 1 to some degree, and who hasn't wanted to be telekinetic at some point in their life?
2 can cover 1 if the language isn’t already dead
2 definitely covers more learning than 3 does, I think. Talent doesn't make up for practice, but recall feels like 90% of what practice is supposed to be doing. And it would make me a beast at my job, just never having to reference anything ever (quite literally over half of it is just referencing different passages of the same sources over and over).
And yes, telekinesis too. It's the biggest excuse I would have to start working out and never stop. From doing crimes to being able to play with the cat in a more convincing way without having to get up for the fourth time.
4 is a no brainer and 7 would be cool.
