Ask Lemmy

The ability to upload any ability into my mind that I can think of and be amazing at it.

Shashahshaaa!

Runs away and throws pocket sand

Time travel

I want to understand, intrinsically, and be able to manipulate to my liking, all the financial systems of the world.

At worst, I'd quickly become a well-paid accountant. At best, I'd become an extremely talented, untraceable, modern Robin Hood.

The ability to make an ability uploading tool.

I'd love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I've seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.

Ability to fold a fitted sheet.

Playing the piano and other instruments like a master. Music conveys feelings we can’t convey otherwise.

Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.

Whatever skills would result in what the deep mediators to control autonomic functions like heartrate and could mimic death. I don't just want the control thing though I want the whole kit that comes with it which would likely have some martial arts. figure like and ideal shaolin type of thing.

Psychotherapy

The ability to perform high level mathematics and computer science tasks including programming languages and logic.

I moderate amount of control of my mental health

Medicine. If I could get an upload to make me an instant doctor, that would be amazing.

The ability to deal with the rush and then persistence of negative feeling whenever anything bad happens, my routine is thrown off, or even I have to do something I'd rather not, because I do not cope well with any of those, and it causes me to shut down.

The usual advice is to "bury it", "hold it" or "suck it up" for some unspecified later time, but that was basically my old coping mechanism and It Does Not Work™ any more.

So I'd like the upgraded version of that. Whatever it is. Preferably a version that won't break or occasionally malfunction (we call those "Warning signs", kids) like the original one did.

Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I'd love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn'tma.

Ability to play the guitar like Gilmour, EVH, Page and Hendrix.

Auto maintenance and repair

OR

household maintenance and repair; handyman stuff

Playing the piano, or just singing at a professional level. Would be amazing to know, but takes years of constant practice and teaching to learn.

Kung Fu

being able to inspect/ appraise any item and get comprehensive details about it.

it would be great to spot antiques and famous works from garage/ lawn sales.

Skateboarding. Looks so fun

"I know how to understand and speak every language with the proper accent. Wöáh."

The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.

Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.
