Alcohol is addicted to me.

I mean, in a way, it can't quit you...

Partial disability from a car breaking my neck and back, causing issues with posture :: I have super human strength and endurance I use to fuck up cars for fun

[-] eskimofry@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Ah takes me back so many years!

[-] appel@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

The game is "Street Fighter II", in case you have a senior moment like I did.

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You’re not fighting E. Honda, you’re fighting A Honda.

It’s all in the packet.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 28 points 10 months ago

My greatest strength is already also my greatest weakness: hyper focus from ADHD.

[-] Limeey@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

I’m now on time. People notice my punctuality, no one actually cares.

[-] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

My greatest weakness is my passivity and inability to make decisions so honestly I have no idea.

[-] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

You would become an incredible and charismatic leader, always capable of picking the right choice and carrying everyone forward.

You now have the ability and drive to always make decisions. Are they good ones? Who knows but they are decisions

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

I become a social butterfly with insane levels of charisma.

Now I am immortal god.

[-] janus2@lemmy.zip 14 points 10 months ago

A lot of people read this as "your greatest weakness is now gone" which makes sense given the video game slider analogy

Meanwhile I'm here like "how do I somehow, hilariously, become unstoppable by means of procrastinating everything"?

But I did think of it: significantly extend my lifespan by procrastinating dying :]

[-] Case@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 10 months ago

It's not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that's even slightly productive.

The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you've been putting off. Constantly.

Not a boon, but a curse.

[-] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

thanks i'm pretty sure you just gave my assigned personal hell demon ideas 💀

I’m a jack of all trades, master of none:m; so I’ll be a virtuoso of one thing.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 15 points 10 months ago

Jack of all trade isn't a weakness.

-Sincerely, a jack of all trade.

[-] DaneGerous@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Having my head chopped off now makes me stronger and more alive.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Every head chopped would spawn three heads

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

I am procrastinate and don't fully commit to things: I am well planned and finish everything I lay my hands on.

[-] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm very forgetful, so I guess in this scenario I have an eidetic memory. I become one of those weird guys who wins every game show due to my fantastic recall of everything I've ever read, seen or heard.

[-] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I am happy and enjoy every moment of life.

[-] phanto@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

I guess my head becomes invincible and nothing can hurt it and I feel no pain in my head, ever?

[-] UnderBoob@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I'm gonna be social and charismatic af

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I have always said if I could re-roll my stats I would trade whatever amount of intelligence I supposedly have to be dumb as a box of fucking rocks with a ludicrous amount of charisma.

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I break everything I touch -> I fix everything I touch

The other day I saw the clock in the bathroom stop working. I swapped the batteries and it stopped working entirely.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

I'm undepressable and I don't have ADHD anymore

[-] 32b99410_da5b@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

All those walls and furnitures will miss you ricocheting off them.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CAMERAS

[-] delta@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

i can walk again :)

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

My gremlins that used to crawl over every inch of my home taking things apart, leaving things in senseless places, and constantly asking for food, a listening ear and a hug - are now helping me out around the house, listening when I need another perspective and generally helping keep me out of trouble.

TL;DR - Just parenthood, if all goes to plan...

I become capable of doing everything I want to, when I want to do it, instead of overthinking and second guessing myself.

I then work my way up to becoming an uploaded intelligence and abolishing capitalism. /s

[-] Gamoc@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The world is invaded by day walker vampires somehow. Most of the human population is dead or turned, those remaining live under a cloud of distrust and paranoia - anyone could be a vampire. even the people you know could've been turned since you last saw them.

I don't notice. Because of social anxiety, I stayed indoors.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I go from being a socially awkward and unattractive virgin to suddenly being able to pull multiple women in a night.

My love care and empathy for other people has made me the most lovable woman in my country and the most suitable spokesperson for humankind

Reality: I dont like people and my interactions with them , especially when I was young (partys.and stuff) only bolstered that feeling

[-] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I feel like I'm reading a description of myself.

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

maybe i shouldn't have tried to hard to "fit in" and be a socialite back i the day, maybe i wouldnt have such a big dislike of people as i have today

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Well, now that I don't absolutely suck at talking to strangers and don't fumble my words, my life just got a lot easier.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Not my weakness becoming a strength, but going away and now I am a different person, my inverse? But my strengths do not become weaknesses?

Disorganization is my bane, and a complete inability to multitask, so I guess I would either be obsessive/compulsive or would be able to be an executive assistant or politician.

"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I can never be angry. Hmm guess I would change my career to be some guy who teaches seminars or does anger management sessions. Or maybe IT for the DMV.

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago
[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

God I need this one.
