Ask Lemmy

I'd like to be able to touch people and feel their deepest pain and just heal that away with a compassionate thought.

Shapeshifting would be fun, that or telekinesis

You invisible? Or you AND your clothes invisible?

Otherwise the in between phases can be awkward.

To be able to create any art I have in my imagination in seconds exactly how I imagine. Videos, photos, sculptures, etc.

The correct answer is omnipotence

Unrestricted body modification.

Superspeed- quick commute, get chores done fast, visit the world

Shapeshifting has always sounded like it would be a trip. Teleportation or similar also sounds super fun, and could have actual practical applications.

I guess you didn't set a limit on how OP it could be, so I could just go for genie wish granting. Although, I can only imagine how zero challenge on literally any activity would fuck with my mental wellbeing.

Not flying, super strength or laser vision. Too much like tools we already have.

Not one that I think I would actually want, but one I've thought a lot about is absolute bodily autonomy in the same way that you can control any aspect of your body consciously but without deliberate thought then it'll default back to unconscious control. Want to grow taller? Start kicking that system back into drive. Want to lose weight? Start absorbing energy less efficiently or burning more calories fruitlessly. Have a random pain? Start to monitor that area and sensing for any particular anomalies.

If the control can go all the way down to the microscopic level then you'd be a walking advancement factory for every medical field. The primary issue would be trying to make practical recreations of the medicines and procedures you'd help create, and even then you could try bioengineering cells to recreate your medicines and procedures. You'd also likely be able to effectively never age by correcting the errors in your cell reproduction. With enough time and effort you could probably spawn a clone of yourself to go out and continue to help others.

If you allow the caveat that this also works on anyone/anything that you can touch, then the limit for what you can cure or at least aid with is bound only by what you can touch, analyze, and solve in time.

Assuming it's generally not too OP powers, shapeshifting for sure.

I'll take time control. Stop time or slow it so much it might as well be stopped.

You might want to clarify that invisibility power. If you're only invisible to visible light, you'll be kind of annoyed later when you're setting off IR motion detectors and showing up on IR cameras. Also, if you're invisible to the whole EM spectrum you'll be immune to dangerous radiation.

Flying

The ability to create black holes. Just wanna fuck around and find out.

Timelord

The ability to memorize and recreate any object at will, including people. I won't have to worry about wealth, and can offer my services for all sorts of purposes. Mamdani wants to simultaneously be mayor AND run for president? Eh presto, two Mamdanis!

The ability to convince people even the hardliners.

Depends on what's available. Regeneration would probably be it. Wouldn't say no to something stronger though.

...why do you want to be invisible? Most of the time, you can put on business casual, smile and wave and you will vanish in plain sight. Or a construction helmet and reflective vest and a clipboard.

Immunity to procrastination

Why would you want to be invisible? Is there any non-creepy use case?
