"Attractive Female", "Divine Power" ~~because what power doesn't fall under that~~, and "Insanely Rich."

[–] figjam@midwest.social 1 points 58 minutes ago

Teleport, invisibility, and psionic as long as that includes mind reading.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Magic Feral Submariners will take over the world one day.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Attractive female, insanely rich, and teleport. I'll have a gf, have money to finance my 1000 hobbies and help others, and never have to stand an hour in a crowded bus trying to hold in a fart again.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 hour ago

I think Insanely Rich means that you're actually an insane guy called Rich

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 hour ago

I think Attractive female means you become an attractive female, so the genie got you.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I already have autism, PTSD and depression. I don't know if I can handle more.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'll take Divine Powers. I think the rest will then sort out by itself.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm trying to work out what that is. The ability to, uh, do everything on that list? If so, I will also take 3 scoops please.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You know, standard stuff like food transmutation, turning into a swan to get laid and having fire come out your mouth when you get mad.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 55 minutes ago

Maybe it comes with the burden of cosmic knowledge, so all the fun human-level stuff doesn't seem worth doing

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

All choices depend on the degree of the power. How much can you lift with telekinesis and how dexterous is? Is magic cantrips, level 9 spells, or something even more arcane? To what level are the speed and strength "super"? Are you a "Captain America" super human or Superman?

Thankfully, my constant favorites are pretty definite: invulnerability and immortality.

What even is "psychic" and how is meaningfully different from "telekinesis" and "telepathy"? Is it bundling all the other -kineses? Yeah, I'm giving it too much thought but personally I don't like discussions based entirely on everyone not having enough information.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yeah it would be interesting to know the limits. Mine would be SuperSight+Teleport, with the understanding that I'm able to perceive time very slowly at will and maybe see very far if I want to. Also, sneezing wouldn't trigger a teleport.

I don't want any Saiki-K situations where I'm unable to be attracted to people because I can only see through their skin by default

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Attractive male, insanely rich, intellect.

Y’all have fun being superheroes. I’m gonna enjoy the fuck out of life.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There's no rules that says having powers mean you have to be a superhero

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You could also be a supervillain... >:)

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Aww, cute sad walrus emoji

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you pick intellect if you wanted a good time? Isn't ignorance bliss?

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

Yes but that haven't received the intelligence power yet so they don't know that

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 hours ago

Bah, thanks to my years as a shut-in tech dweeb I already have lots of Gadgets, a Feral appearance, and I Super Smell.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Size manipulation, stamina and blast power.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

F-for for fighting crime, r-right?

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Chameleon, Invisibility, Shape Shifter.

Guys, I don't know what I am and I'm scared

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

You could be an old walnut tree in Istanbul! No one would be aware of you, but neither would the police.

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

You can be whatever you want.

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

Depending on which deity we're talking, "divine powers" is a no-brainer. Besides that: Immortality, invincibility, siphon powers. Use the time I have (i.e. all of it) to learn unarmed combat and weapon master, and become insanely rich and very intelligent, then invent implants and a powersuit (why would anyone pick those if they're a freebie with immortality), then wait around for others who have picked different powers and siphon off their powers. Since I'm invincible, I can also swallow some plutonium and become radioactive.

So, in conclusion, I would like to be a sci-fi lich.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Attractive Female Attractive Male Third one doesn't matter

[–] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 hours ago

Add Shape shifting and you're Ranma.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

Submariner it is!

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

Magic can accomplish all of this, so I choose that

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Immortality, invulnerability, and shape shifter to not attract too much attention (hide)

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

oh yeah, the magic of "insanely rich" 😄

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

Steal his look: Divine Powers, Healing, Immortality.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Psionics (a la Legion/David Haller), Divine Powers (more Legion reality-warping fun), Immorality (until the Heat Death of the Universe). I've got a lot I want to do, starting with planetary reform and cultivation of the species.

[–] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 25 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

What exactly are divine powers? Are you basically the blue dude from Watchmen?

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 hour ago

The religion is Shinto and you gain the powers of a kappa

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

The religion is Greganism. Greg believes in Ferraris and Skittles.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

divine is religion based. like spawning 6 arms and dividing oceans. powering things up by blessing and being able to seal or banish evil.

dr. manhatten is physics based. he could maybe do similar things, but his powers are not magical. he can't force a spirit to stay in a piece of armor or things like that.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, that one could easily include all the others and more

[–] tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 1 points 20 minutes ago

Is that... Cartman?
