I would want to have the superpower to make any app into a FOSS app instantly

chatGPT has entered the room (but only about a step in, has a good bit to go to complete it's entrance)

Shapeshifting. Lots of applications! Just off the top of my head:

  • Need to get somewhere? Just become something small and stow away on a jumbo jet. (Or become a bird and fly there yourself!)
  • Need some extra strength or flexibility? Just turn up your muscles or stretch out your limbs.
  • Find yourself in a dangerous situation/environment? You can adapt on-the-fly.
  • Disguise yourself as someone with power to fix things (or wreak havoc, depending.)

Obviously there are Questions™ involving how this would interact with conservation laws, but we can just handwave those.

This is a great idea!

That's always been one that sounded super cool to me. Honestly I'd turn into weird stuff out of curiosity, like just to see what compound eyes are like, or what it's like to be liquid.

I would like to be able to spread basic education and academic literacy by touch. Like boop - and suddenly your "research" into "liberal agendas" is a joke we can both enjoy.

Superspeed. If overpowered can't be used then maybe not to the extent of Flash.

I might choose something like teleportation then. Would no longer need a car!

Would it preserve inertia? Would you accidentally teleport off the Earth? (the earth is always moving on its orbit.) What about air pressure elevation changes?

Ability to know every legal system to the most minute detail. I could then challenge unjust laws, particularly those that are a result of corruption, and have them overturned. It would be amazing. I'd probably be assassinated though. That would be a bummer.

I think my superpower would be to be able to communicate to anyone in a way in which they always fully understood my meaning.

Laser eyes. I’d trim all my trees, maybe start a service.

[-] MrComradeTaco@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I would like the superpower to not poop for 3 days straight.
