I guess I choose Denmark or maybe Portugal. Having USA and Russia being superpowers has been real shit.

Being able to hear from afar
But only bad music.
Can communicate with any animal
But they can't communicate with you
Haha imagine trying to explain that to people.
"I have a superpower, I can speak to animals they just can't speak back"
"But everyone has that superpower, I can do that too"
"Yeh but I'm actually really talking to them, like in their language that they can understand"
"How do you know?"
"..."
I mean, you can ask an animal to do some arbitrary action specified by the other person, and then the animal (hopefully) does it. This side effect isn't great, but it definitely still leaves some real usefulness.
Telling my dog as I go to the garage, "I'll be back in literally one minute." and being understood would rock.

True Omnipotence
(Also read/listen to Worm
You have no choice but to see everything, wether you want to or not.
If I don't have a choice then it's not true Omnipotence is it?
But of an unrelated universe...so schizophrenia with delusions of grandure lol
If I'm limited then it's not true Omnipotence is it?
But only over dial-up.
If I'm limited then it's not true Omnipotence is it? Honestly though I'd take it if I had to though
I can teleport instantly to any location I have previously visited.
But each location has a specific song you must play on an Ocarina....
Do I know the song automatically? Or like, do I have to defeat someone in single combat to get to learn the song?
"Oh, and a chocolate croissant, please, thanks! ..... and uh, I'm so incredibly sorry about last time,"
Thankfully my people know how big a nerd I am, so I actually have been gifted an ocarina. I'm ready. Now, what's the song for my doctor's office, again?
You don't get to choose the location, it's just a random place you've been before.
Ability to control every atom in the surrounding area of approx 1 km.
Immunity from all replies to this post.
But you are incredibly smart. BOOM GOTEM.
You end up with no superpowers at all
Hmm, but are they immune to this restriction?
The United States of America after the Cold War.
But you live in Afghanistan
