Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Skateboarding. Looks so fun

How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

A2 is still a novice. I can read it reasonably well. Generating words on the fly is hard. Listening is harder.

The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.

The ability to sew anything. I love to binge sewing vids so being able to take some scraps and make cool shit would be amazing.

I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.

People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.

maths.

I never had enough brains to not suck at maths.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Deduction, at superhuman speed of course just like neos kung fu speed.
Deduce the optimal stock market traction to gain a big chunk of capital so I can than deduce the best proper services to provide, or find the proper projects

Psychology.

I assume psychology is very useful for social interaction, but complicated and mid-impact enough that I personally wouldn't bother to analog-learn it.

Knowing every tree, plant, insect, ...

Sex probably

Mind control.

[–] Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 day ago

Having a strong speech skill. I'll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Math, specifically gambling.

My first thought was also languages, but all the classes for a bachelors in nuclear engineering would be nice. Huge passion of mine and I can't really pursue a degree at this point in my life

[–] ZeroTwo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

How to speak Japanese. I'd move there in a heartbeat.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Tell me it doesn't use alien DNA like In Prey (2017)
