I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.

Apparently nobody here knows what a "small thing" is.

I want to be able to build an endless tower of blocks that will never fall over

One of the biggest ones that still classifies as small?

Weak earth-bending. Like just enough to like dig garden furrows or build sand castles. Even at the same speed that it would take with hand tools it would be pretty fun to mess around with.

I could save so much time if I could tell how much voltage is in a circuit just by touching it

[โ€“] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't it unsafe to touch a circuit?

(Or is that the joke?)

[โ€“] Leon@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Low wattage circuits (like I'm usually dealing with) aren't particularly dangerous, even if you had soapy or sweaty skin the most they could do is give you a tingle. It'd just be so nice to be able to trace down wiring issues without having to grab a multimeter and probe around to get info. Also it'd be bad ass to grab a battery and be able to tell the voltage.

The ability to sneeze and get the relief even if the feeling fades.

I'd take perfect aim when throwing something. You always hit the garbage can, you're unstoppable playing darts. You never miss flinging a playing card at your friends.

Being able to choose the best fruits/vegetables when shopping for groceries. No more moldy Avocados.

I know that there are indicators that I can already use to determine this, but I want to be able to just pick the best ones every time on first try without even thinking or touching them all.
