Ask Lemmy

Unlimited do overs. I can save, load and redo any point of my life at will. Caveat, death grants me access to the load game function.

immortality but I can die if I want to.

To be able to create any art I have in my imagination in seconds exactly how I imagine. Videos, photos, sculptures, etc.

I have two choices depending on my role in the narrative.

1: unrestricted ability to grant other people powers with the requirement that I keep them balanced both in power scale and moral direct as well as not being able to use the powers on myself either on my own or through proxy.

2: I'm the Thing from Carpenter's 1982 movie The Thing but every cell is me and under my control. If need be, I can consume an injury's worth of biological mass to heal. I would mostly use this to get out of conversions by bisecting my face and spagetti-ing before returning to normal, apologizing for that, and saying I should go take my meds.

Ability to give people taste buds wherever I think is funniest at the time

The ability to steal anywhere from 1-10 hours of sleep from someone I touch per 24 hours

To never have to worry about the basic necessities of life 🥹

The ability to reset my life from and resume from any "save point".

For the purposes of this power there are two kinds of "save points":

• autosave points (yearly, on one's birthday)
• regular save points (done at-will as part of the power)

Why? Who hasn't indulged in the what-ifs of life? What if I can revisit certain points in my life and relive those what-ifs myself?

I want to know how and what to say to other people to convince them to do what I ask. So like not full manipulation or mind reading but like social engineering turned up to 100!

I would want to be able to switch bodies with people like in Freaky Friday, but I would want to control who and when.

To always have the right amount of change in my pocket

Don't really want to be rich, just always have enough

Being able to stop time. Unlimited sleep.

A healing touch.

Unrestricted body modification.

Local area forced telepathic group chat - everyone in range can hear the surface thoughts of everyone else in range all at once

Healing powers 100%

But if I'm being selfish/lazy, I'd copy Ezra from Fairy Tail, she can swap out her armor and weapons instantly. I'd use it to always have a rain coat, umbrella. Fall over in bed and be instantly be PJs, wake up stay and in comfy cloths right until I get to work. Climb up a ladder and never have to go back down for a tool. Spill food all over, and instantly have a new shirt. Get mugged and swap over to appropriate armor and a heavy assault weapon.

To make people know stuff and experience stuff.

Then I'm just gonna travel the world to get people educated, see the other side of the story, think independently, etc. Like I think those are if you have the experience of it once then you know how to do it on your own.

There will be all those mind control moral dilemma of free will and bias and stuff I think rising up o along the way, so that could be the complicated part, the self-justification of power. I don't really care for being just though so I think it's just going to be all jolly.

I think with that we should be able to get some people to stop fighting and be happy at least. Probably make some part of the society more functional as usually the system always break at some point but good men along makes stuff work. Though it's another jump from educated men to good men :)

Shapeshifter: it’s broken as hell if you take it to the molecular level. Shapeshift into something that can fly, into a very thin transparent film on the ceiling of a room, into something which can withstand great temperatures or bullets, hell, you can even shapeshift into something that photosynthesizes.

Immunity to procrastination

I want a familiar named Git that obeys me.

Hey! That annoying guy that you hate speaking with is coming towards you

Git, push!

Would you look at that! What an amazing thing

Git, pull!

Oooh. What a great idea!

Git, commit!

There’s no way I said that, you must be remembering wrong

Git, diff!

So many possibilities

Edit: bonus points if you guess what I’d be stashing all the time

Flying, i always had a fantasy about just beibg able to fly superman style, fast, slow or just floating

You know how some people have photographic memory and memorize everything they hear once for their entire lives?

I want the other side of that coin where I can look at something or think about anything for a while and immediately understand entirety of it.

Not formal understanding with all the equations and chemistry at atomic level, but more like someone explaining the equations and chemistry of it to me should "click" intuitively.

It would be really fun to go around learning random subjects.
