For example:
- You can fly but you can never stop flying
- You can turn invisible, but never be seen again
super good luck. like the the chick from deadpool 2 I think or longshots if it always stayed on.
the bad thing about have always luck on is that bad things can happen to you anyways on prior of your “good luck”
I mean its “always” active. no?
well, if your mom or dad got shot instead of you and that means good luck, then i guess i’m wrong
I guess. I mean in deadpool all the rest of the team mostly died.
Everyone within my earshot has to tell the truth.
Works with TV, radio. Any real time communication.
I think this should also work on myself
I would use this power to make a communist organization of my choice completely immune to infiltration
Imagine an America without COINTELPRO
Power to make people have empathy.
God of Toilet Paper.
You might laugh, but I would own the world.
If you were in my favor, you would get the softest, never-chafing, cleanest single-wipe-clean TP ever. No matter what you ate, no matter how spicy, no matter how ill, you could be assured of pain-free, cooling, soothing, wipes. It would be beautiful. Rainbows and peace, no matter how violent the shit
Piss me off? Anything you choose to clean your backside with is then designated TP. I will clog all the toilets, all the plumbing, all the sewers. I can make it all gympie-gympie leaves, sandpaper, wax paper, or just vanish mid-wipe. No matter how much you wiped your already raw ass, there would still be more. I would be a scourge on the Earth, and all would have to bow down before me. You would love me. You would hate me.
He who controls the comfort of the sphincter, controls the world.
I would have the power to be naturally skilled at anything I do and having it always activated would be a bonus.
Jack of All Trades Activated
You are now naturally skilled at all tasks but will never be considered a master in any discipline
I’d take it. Truly mastering any single skill is almost certainly beyond my ability anyway.
I’m only okay at some things so being okay at all things is a total win.
Just a bater now can no longer make yourself cum
It’s ok I do house repair for handjobs
That’s fine, I wouldn’t be a master at anything anyway really, just pretty okay
I’m always at a comfortable temperature no matter what.
If humanity finds out about that property of you, you might end up as some kind of human battery. If you can’t be cooled down under any circumstances, one could use your body to heat up infinite amounts of water/air with heat pumps and use you to heat entire cities. Super useful for the rest of humanity but not exactly the life I’d like to live. :D
I don’t think it would be worth it, as the thermal conduction would be far too low to be useful
However, it would be a useful ability in extreme environments, such as space or Antarctica or something like that. So your chances of becoming an astronaut would massively increase.
We could also run some heat pipes through the body to improve conductivity, stretch the skin to increase the surface etc.
If the person doesn’t need to be alive to stay at a comfortable temperature we could even grind the body into a powder of tiny heat emitting particles. Then add a very fast flowing liquid with a good conductivity and our super hero heating system is good to go.
But enough psychopath talk now. I personally don’t want to turn anyone into a heating system, but I’m sure capitalism will find a way to exploit this special property. :D
Jeazus.
That is a really good one. Because you can’t stop it, but a comfortable temperature is always comfortable.
Being lucky all the time would be cool. The only time I can think it might be a hindrance would be at a casino because they’d think I’m cheating but I don’t gamble so it doesn’t matter I guess.
Just play the lottery once.
Now you are rich, lucky, and screwed. Hopefully those last 2 cancel each other out.
Why screwed?
Because humans are terrible
Large jackpot winners face double digit multiples of probability versus the general population to be the victim of:
Homicide (something like 20x more likely). Drug overdose
Bankruptcy (how’s that for irony?)
KidnappingAnd triple digit multiples of probability versus the general population rate to be:
Convicted of drunk driving
The victim of Homicide (at the hands of a family member) 120x more likely in this case, ain’t love grand?
A defendant in a civil lawsuit
A defendant in felony criminal proceedingsBut since those events are based on probability, you would be one of the lucky few without those problems!
Like I said, hope the last 2 cancel each other out.
Being lucky all the time will feel like nothing matters or is exciting anymore because the outcome is always positive.
Healing of all kinds. Ageing, sickness, and wounds.
Can’t die. It’s gonna suck in 800 trillion years. Imagine if you can’t sleep either because you don’t need to recuperate.
The dream of engineers: they can’t get sick so no depression, they don’t need to sleep so infinite focus and learning, and half a million years would be sufficient to build a large underground automated city and preparing space travel to find solutions for their curse
Ah yes, I also play factorio/satisfactory/dwarf fortress/rim world. I could easily do 1000 years with each of those, but a million might be streatching it
I didn’t say Immortal. Death by violence is certainly possible.
Recuperate? I don’t sleep to recuperate, only to pass time.
You suddenly die of cancer that you’ve healed faster than your immune system can kill
Eh, I would class that under sickness.
I would want the superpower of linguistics: the ability to fluently read, speak, and understand any language ever spoken or will be spoken.
I guess in combination with the ‘can’t stop it’ twist that would mean that you can’t stop talking in these old and random languages. So people will think you’re crazy and you’ll end up in some kind of mental illness hospital.
He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can’t ever forget a language, as I’m interpreting it.
How is that different from ‘being able to fly’ or ‘being able to turn invisible’? My understanding of OP’s twist is that you don’t have full control over your ability but that the skill is permanently active.
you mean I can’t stop talking and I’m super annoying or I can shut up and use a phone app.
Soundly you here the suffering of animals around you
So you want to be Cypher?
I had never heard of Cypher before, but yes. Just like that.
Shapeshifting. It’s what I wanted anyway and I can always just be continuously toggling the length of my little toenail to be 1mm longer or shorter.
Hell yeah, I get to choose my boob size, and I can have my hair changing colors like in Terraria!
hmmmm, “plot armor” sounds nice to be always on.
Never becoming deaf and always having good hearing. I’m not sure I’d be able to enjoy life anymore if I became deaf, so just having good hearing would make the rest of my life worth living, without any major side effects I could think of.
Reading this reminded me that my ears are ringing. I can ignore it but if anything draws attention it can get pretty bad.
Ringing sucks. I’m used to random ringing occuring, so I’m good there.
I can live without hearing, thanks to subwoofers, but if I ever go blind I think I’m just going to kill myself.
So permanent good vision; I pick that.
Sixth sense/ Intuition
The ability to shapeshift doesn’t really get affected by this caveat, so that remains about as appealing as it was before.
Taken to an extreme, one can get a controllable/turn-off-able biological immortality and at-will violation of conservation of matter/energy.
Powers of a deity.
You are now Cyamites, the god of beans. Use your powers wisely.
Could be worse. Highly nutritious foodstuff providing plenty of vitamins, protein, and fiber. I could do a lot to alleviate some world hunger immediately. Making people fart all over the world would be fun, too.
I could also put beans in the no-bean-chili gatekeepers chili. Evil bean god could be fun, too.
I love the idea of evil bean god! Thought it was a nice easter bunny chocolate? BAM, BEANS.
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR CELEBRATING ANOTHER GOD, HERETIC.
There is petty revenge and then there is this.
Revenge is a dish best served with beans.
