Alcohol is addicted to me.

"If you've managed to quit alcohol - your greatest weakness - perhaps you've already found your greatest strength."

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

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

Ah takes me back so many years!

[–] appel@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago

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

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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

It’s all in the packet.

[–] Limeey@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

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

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 28 points 9 months ago

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

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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 9 months ago (1 children)

I become a social butterfly with insane levels of charisma.

Now I am immortal god.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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 :]

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

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 15 points 9 months ago

Jack of all trade isn't a weakness.

-Sincerely, a jack of all trade.

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

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

[–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I am happy and enjoy every moment of life.

[–] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 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.

[–] phanto@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 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 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna be social and charismatic af

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 4 points 9 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.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] 32b99410_da5b@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CAMERAS

[–] delta@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

i can walk again :)

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 7 points 9 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.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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...

[–] tslnox@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

Narrator: "It didn't go to plan."

[–] SattaRIP@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

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 9 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.

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] MashedTech@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

God I need this one.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 9 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.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 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

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

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 9 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.

[–] cascadingsymmetry@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I can digest any food at all without bloating, gas or suddenly urgent toilet trips.

[–] 211@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Instead of being guilt-ridden and terrified of making mistakes, especially if they might cause harm to others, I get... antisocial personality disorder? Fuck.
