Once, I wanted to annihilate all bedbugs in the world with a snap of a finger (I would even learn how to snap for this very purpose), just disappear them forever at my will. A single use power, nothing more than that, and I don't care what that suppose to do to the environment.

For some reason.

Making inflated objects explode with my mind.

Car tires. Birthday balloons. Bubble wrap. Bagpipes.

Yes, I'd be a villain... or at least a vigilante. Don't run that red where I can see you... pop pop pop

How is this not an S-tier power? Did you forget that lungs are inflatable?

Control Minor Static Charges Woman. It would make housecleaning easier and my keyboards would always be clean. I wouldn't have to get near dust bunnies, I would be able to slowly guide them to the trash can.

As someone who's spent a lot of time working in a lab, the ability to control static electricity would be a godsend! There's really nothing like spending weeks preparing a new material as a fine powder, carrying it over to the weighing scales, placing a glass sample vial onto the scales, taring it, then a scooping up some of your powder with a spatula, careful not to lose a single particle, then carefully, CAREFULLY carrying the scoop of power to the sample vial -- then seeing the static blast your powder out of the spatula to coat the OUTSIDE of the sample vial, plus the scales, plus your nitrile glove...

I have trauma.

The power to always pack exactly the right things that I will need when I go somewhere.

Photosynthesis would be really nice. Even if it didn't totally replace the need for food it would be cool.

I just want to get the USB in the right way on my first attempt. Is that too much to ask for?

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

I wanted to reply with an image of USB C that appears Holy because it is your savior, but this was the closest thing I could find.

Having a hydrophobic presence covering me at all times, sans wanting to shower, drink water, etc. so I could run, bike, hike in the rain and never get wet, unless I wanted to.

Another fun one would be having the ability and skill to cook anything I want without training or recipes. However, I would gain an excessive amount of weight though.

Perfect hearing man.

Might finally get rid of my tinnitus and I could hear silence again.

To be able to put together the perfect response for any interaction I ever have man

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

A Tier? AAA ranging on Universe Killer Tier. The perfect response becomes the perfect negotiator, the perfect social infiltrator, the master manipulator. He casually gets free coffee, he cajoles his way through national secrets, he convinces his landlord that the concept of income through scarce resource stockpiling is immoral and that they should see the property as a shared commodity. Genius

I always thought it would be cool to be able to imitate any sound effect. Totally useless but perfect for jokes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Have you not seen police academy? Being able to imitate sounds is highly useful.
