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 know if a fruit is going to taste good just by holding it. Perhaps being able to experience the taste of it (when it ripens) by holding it. Perhaps also being able to tell peak ripeness. But that may be op. I’d settle for the first part.

Is it weird that I can already do this with peaches, nectarines, and clementine oranges?

Really‽ I’m so impressed. You must be some kind of superhero.

Happens when you eat about ten oranges every winter day and five peaches every summer day as a child.

(Also, nice use of the interrobang! Been a while since I've seen it.)

That makes sense. And thanks! I have it set as a shortcut on my phone any time I have an exclamation point next to a question mark. It’s not hard to set up on an iPhone, I’m guessing it’s not hard on android either. (Although I think I did have to get a keyboard that had the actual interrobang symbol in it. But also not so hard to find 🤷🏻‍♀️). I am trying to make it a thing. I don’t think it’s working. But I think I got one person at least to do it. So that’s awesome. You should totally do it! 😬

I should write a guide for how to do it and post it somewhere.
