I’ll go first. The power to always know a person’s next move.

First commentor missed the Cassandra side effect: you can do nothing to change it and no one believes you.

[-] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

You can see a person's next move at the expense of generating negative causality, wherein large objects are attracted to you at high speed. See the man unwrapping a sandwich? Boom, hit by a bus/piano/anvil/whale.

The power to change stoplights from red to green (and back again)

[-] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're the only one who is able to see the changes.

Edit: I decided that a superpower which only alters your perception is not really a superpower, so let me improve it: All drivers who have the same eye color as you will be able to see the changed colors. Other drivers will see the original colors. Enjoy!

I can inflict my current emotional state at will on other people of my choosing.

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Anytime you use this power, immediately afterwards you feel everyone in a half mile radius's feelings at 200% intensity at the same time.

[-] donslaught@unilem.org 10 points 1 year ago

That seems like a cascading landslide of horniness.

I will always have full knowledge of everything and know how to do anything

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You never get to use the power for your own enjoyment because people will never leave you alone…you will constantly assaulted with questions because everyone knows you have the answers. You have no peace.

You become completely physically disabled, almost a complete vegetative state, and can't physically do any of it.

[-] TDCN@feddit.dk 6 points 1 year ago

I'll know how to construct a full exoskeleton with a brain interface and communicate the instructions to someone who can build it for me. Just look at how well Stephen Hawkins fared

[-] XiELEd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Be able to have multiple save slots, change the outcomes of a timeline then save it within a savefile, and being able to bring items from different savefiles to the others. Would be cool to collect different iterations of games and movies.

I can summon whatever food and drink I want in the moment

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

The summoning makes you feel nauseous
