What realistic super power do you want?

Cunth

Fingerlickin' Good!
By realistic I mean something like a really high vertical jump or the ability to kick a football really far or something. For me, I want super strong grip muscles. When people shake my hand they would say ‘damn, that’s like a vice’ They would talk about how I can open any bottle they give me in the office at lunch time. I could crush a grapefruit as a party trick.

Seriously tho, I can’t understand how you want more charisma when both you guys got way more likes than me ;-;

I feel we had this topic before.

In that case, the power of Deja Vu. Let me relive all my horrors.

In realistical sense:

Cunth Cunth 's powers of deduction and FIPOing are a desirable trait to have. Imaging being able to solve every case, get every job, because you are the first to comment and to summarize the situation adequately with zero disdain for the person you are talking to.

That truly is a super-power.

I want the power to always be the guy that gets through the lights just before they turn red.

I'm reminded of the episode of the X-Fils, "The Goldberg Variation", in which Scully and Mulder look for a dude who essentially has the super power of insane good luck. He would always get those lights, but everyone else has to pay for his good luck.

Turns out life was a Black Mirror / Outer Limits / Twilight Zone / Tales from the Crypt episode and your super power ended up horribly for you.

Here's what happens to each of you:

For me, I want super strong grip muscles. When people shake my hand they would say ‘damn, that’s like a vice’ They would talk about how I can open any bottle they give me in the office at lunch time. I could crush a grapefruit as a party trick.

Cock breaks in an intense masturbation session.

high bandwidth brain computer interface.

Assholes make a computer virus that spreads super fast because of high bandwidth.

Unlimited procrastinating.

You start to procrastinate the procrastinating, meaning you'll start to do work instead.


You end up leading a country and eventually make a suicide and from that day on every person on earth ever will laugh at your hairstyle and moustache and no-one will ever use your first name and last name again.

Extreme focus and processing information at very high speeds.

The sight of a pile of raped and mutilated babies you accidentally found is in your brain in extreme detail and for the rest of your life you will wail in horror when your brain abilities make you think of what horrors the babies went through and what horrors their parents will be going through for the rest of their lives.

my dick bends to the right i want it to bend to the left

Suddenly every vagina is shaped in a way that only penises that bend right can penetrate into.

Being able to fall asleep instantly and get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

The smoke, the fire and the desperate cries of your wife and children are not enough to interrupt that great last sleep of yours.

In that case, the power of Deja Vu. Let me relive all my horrors.

You start to get deja vus within the deja vu. Not only you relive your horrors but you end up reliving them in a straitjacket.

That truly is a super-power.

You end up actually getting every job and solving every crime with a massive case of burn out and stress for the rest of your life.

Ability to have empathy for your dumb little insignificant problems.

Suddenly the world doesn't have people with empathy anymore. You are the only one now. And they'll kick you in the nuts for being such a cry baby all the time.

Rapid healing like Wolverine's, so I could chain smoke without consequence.

The smell keeps every single person away from you for the rest of your life.

I want the power to always be the guy that gets through the lights just before they turn red.

One day there is a huge traffic accident.
Lots of people die.
Some newspaper has an article about it.
Your close friend is being interviewed:
"The cat of Schrödinger had this almost supernatural skill of always getting through the lights before they turned to red. Always! If only he would've been forced to stop on those lights right before the site of the accident he'd still be with us."

Uh huh. Sure, strong grip strength to shake hands with. We know why you really want it.

The jump is suicidal, enjoy your broken knees. As for me, I'd like to be able to do everything the average man can do under extreme effort for 1/5 the oxygen.
 
Conversely, I want to be the guy who stops at the red light, points their finger dramatically, says "Green", and the light changes every time.
You have two choices:

1) JOIN ME, together we shall rule the highways for eternity. Bending traffic flow to our very will. Gods amongst men.

2) DIE, nemesis!

Freeze time for everyone except myself. Mostly so I can take longer naps at work without getting fired.

This is very nearly a real world super power, probably a bit of a blessing and a curse:

If you ask Jill Price to remember any day of her life, she can come up with an answer in a heartbeat. What was she doing on 29 August 1980? “It was a Friday, I went to Palm Springs with my friends, twins, Nina and Michelle, and their family for Labour Day weekend,” she says. “And before we went to Palm Springs, we went to get them bikini waxes. They were screaming through the whole thing.” Price was 14 years and eight months old.

A realistic power? My friend who was in the military and deployed many times has an uncanny sense of direction and time . We went to Miami for carnival one year and he remembered directions to and from the convention center, that was quite far, that was only given once and didn't have write them down ..I'm like sheeeiiitt...I forgot them as he was telling us..

A high metabolism is very important to me. I’d like the ability to understand stocks and bonds.

I’d like to have a great memory/photographic memory.

I was always really really strong and a good athlete but never particularly acrobatic. It would be cool to be able to do backflips and stuff and make it look easy, but obviously it’s not that important because I probably could if I worked at at 😂
 
Every time i get a cold im always thinking why there are never any diseases that temporarily make you feel awesome or have enhanced abilities.

I cant come in today, i have the jumping flu and im going to jump 8 feet in the air all day.

The metabolism. Imagine being able to just eat whatever the hell I want, whenever I want, and not a single pound is gained.

I'd also like to know what others were thinking. Imagine I knew right off the bat what every female thought of me. Game-changer.

A high metabolism, high immunity, a photographic memory, and a fully functioning female reproductive system would be nice! :)

Need half the time to mentally recharge. That way a 2 hour nap can actually be 4 and I can go to bed at 4am and not sleep in until 11am-1pm

I would love to dream 80 years in 8 hours sleep. And see how far I could get. Maybe eventually, I would be posting in this forum.
