I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.
The ability to mute any sound I hear. Baby crying, annoying hum, someone snoring, obnoxious drunk? Muted.
Being able to set a timer for when to sleep and wake up
To be able to hear the soundtrack. Like, if I walk into a building and hear the Psycho “reep reep!” I’ll get the hell out. But if I walk into that same building and hear “bow chicka bow wow”, I’m staying.
Being able to find the exact book page or moment in a Netflix series where I was when I fell asleep last night.
Or when my cat starts to make her first vomit sounds being able to beam her from the carpet to a floor with tiles in a split second.
The ability to know all of someone’s usernames and passwords by only looking at a photo of their face.
The perfect ability in the modern age for a secret life as either vigilante or villain.
Knowing everything about my body.
What is my current blood sugar? O2 level electrolyte status? How much shit do I have in my colon?
Drawing sth in a way that explains a picture I have in my brain in a very short timeframe.
Take a mental note that I could review later without worry of forgetting it, for times when jotting something down normally isn’t practical such as while driving.
Yeah this would be mine as well, but I would need a small upgrade. To actually remember checking the notes.
Don’t worry. The next time you will want to remember something and make a note you will see the old notes too. However, then you also don’t have time to check them, lol
Neuralink notepad
To actually fall asleep within a few minutes of laying in bed, and stay asleep until I actually need/want to be awake.
I have the monkey paw version of this where I can fall asleep instantly but can’t stay asleep, I wake up several times throughout the night
Yeah, I get this too kinda. I find I get really vivid dreams when wake up but fall back asleep
The ability to accelerate my speed of thoughts so I could come up with witty comebacks in real time and not hours later.
I have a disease which limits what I can eat, therefor the ability to digest any food or drink comfortably.
God I feel this. I’m probably not nearly as bad, but I’d like to not have to carefully analyze what I eat anymore
Yeah… It’s crap
~~What in the pseudoscience is this crap? Avoid garlic entirely, but no limit on the foi gras? ~~
Edit: FODMAP is not a ‘diet’ in the traditional sense, it’s a diet tailored to avoid triggering flare ups of medical conditions such as IBS. Wish the article had been more clear for those without knowledge of what FODMAP is.
FODMAPs are pretty well understood. There aren’t any in meat.
I know this is ancient history at this point, but I wanted to circle back.
I was not familiar with FODMAPs at all before reading the article. And since the article starts by calling it a ‘diet’ I made what I thought was the reasonable assumption that it was a traditional diet.
After you responded I looked it up more generally and now understand that it’s less of a traditional ‘diet’ and instead used to help prevent some medical conditions from flaring up.
That’s on me for not doing full research, and on the article for assuming everyone knows what FODMAPs are and why they are so important to some people.
Sorry for my ignorance.
Props to you for coming back to this. Totally understand your incredulity to this if you thought it was some fad or weightloss diet though haha!
I questioned my sanity for a bit after your first response until I realized what the diet actually was. I was properly confused!
When in an argument I want the ability to know what my opponent has to say in advance so I can always interrupt and finish their sentences. Every single one of them.
How to be a JoJo character
There are a couple scenes in edge of tomorrow where this is essentially happening. I love the Tom Cruise/Brendan Gleeson conversation
I usually don’t like Tom Cruse but the movie is awesome. Saw it many times.
I don’t like him at all but his movies are just fucking fun to watch.
But he is an idiot.
The ability to know exactly where anything I think of is located.
You could make some serious money with this power. You could find anyone’s lost pet or keepsake.
Can’t you just think of the winning lottery ticket?
Any insect that touches my skin realizes the error of its ways and peacefully leaves me alone.
How about any insect that smells you? I don’t want curious insects all over me even if only for a second.
I already have this power.
HOW?!
They simply bathe in mothball filled water
Not require sleep, ever, with no ill effects (fatigue, mental issues, shortened lifespan, etc).
So much time is wasted sleeping. I have too much shit to do! It’s 2am because I was up getting some code working for another team at work, and we just moved, so I have tons of unpacking to do!
I feel like that’d be extremely boring, tbh. Constant uptime.
it seems kinda op not “a small thing”
Compared to ops super power where he can literally create money out of mucus, it seems very mundane
This is totally unnecessary but here it goes. An average human sneeze less than 4 times a day, lets take it as 4. Recommended amount of sleep for an adult is 7-9 hours. Lets assume OP sleeps 6 hours a day. Considering the only post shared by OP related with the news is a post about Arizona, I assume OP is from Arizona. So I will be calculating with the data driven by Arizona authorities.
OP: 29200$ per year
@smstnitc@lemmy2.addictmud.org: 2190 hours per year => 2190 * 13.85$(Arizona minimum wage) = 30.331,5$
So clearly @smstnitc@lemmy2.addictmud.org’s superpower is more powerful.
Source:
fwiw I’m in Michigan, where minimum wage is $10.10.
2190 * $10.10 = $22,119
I make more than that, but I’m salary, so more work actually lowers my hourly wage. I couldn’t tell you how many years it’s been since I’ve worked only 40 hours.
I’d like more time to do fun things like read, play video games, run or go for walks, or house maintenance, etc
fair enough
