So if you could choose a superpower what would it be? and what kinds of things would it be also please nothing god-like, like overpowered and such.
I would want to have the superpower to make any app into a FOSS app instantly
chatGPT has entered the room (but only about a step in, has a good bit to go to complete it’s entrance)
that is a cool power
Ability to know every legal system to the most minute detail. I could then challenge unjust laws, particularly those that are a result of corruption, and have them overturned. It would be amazing. I’d probably be assassinated though. That would be a bummer.
I would like to be able to spread basic education and academic literacy by touch. Like boop - and suddenly your “research” into “liberal agendas” is a joke we can both enjoy.
Superspeed. If overpowered can’t be used then maybe not to the extent of Flash.
I might choose something like teleportation then. Would no longer need a car!
Would it preserve inertia? Would you accidentally teleport off the Earth? (the earth is always moving on its orbit.) What about air pressure elevation changes?
Shapeshifting. Lots of applications! Just off the top of my head:
- Need to get somewhere? Just become something small and stow away on a jumbo jet. (Or become a bird and fly there yourself!)
- Need some extra strength or flexibility? Just turn up your muscles or stretch out your limbs.
- Find yourself in a dangerous situation/environment? You can adapt on-the-fly.
- Disguise yourself as someone with power to fix things (or wreak havoc, depending.)
Obviously there are Questions™ involving how this would interact with conservation laws, but we can just handwave those.
This is a great idea!
That’s always been one that sounded super cool to me. Honestly I’d turn into weird stuff out of curiosity, like just to see what compound eyes are like, or what it’s like to be liquid.
Ability to read minds, would make life a lot easier!
Ability to make your tech into anything like making your smartwatch upgraded to super max with tech not available today. Imagine hundreds of terabytes of storage, ram, super computing in your fingertips. Ability to have tech which can do anything from anywhere. Ability to travel places faster than conventional methods.
Think super sophisticated tech. My first older of business would be creating Artificial Super Intelligence.
I think my superpower would be to be able to communicate to anyone in a way in which they always fully understood my meaning.
Would that entail fully understanding everyone else with the same lucidity?
Correct
I would like the superpower to not poop for 3 days straight.
Op said nothing overpowered.
I’d pick being able to time travel, but maybe that’s too powerful. So then let’s say the ability to time travel but not be able to change anything. I just want to experience other time periods - past and future.
USSR, I want it back
See, that’s a paradox. The more useful it would be the closer it is to overpowered. Somebody please add rules.
My favorite is being able to materialize handheld things. It’d be really cool to be able to create all sorts of interesting stuff, toys, hobbies, impose to manufacture parts, etc
The ability to know every song’s lyrics.
invisibility. imagine how much you’d save on airfaire and stuff.
