I’ll go first. The power to always know a person’s next move.

First commentor missed the Cassandra side effect: you can do nothing to change it and no one believes you.

[-] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

You can see a person's next move at the expense of generating negative causality, wherein large objects are attracted to you at high speed. See the man unwrapping a sandwich? Boom, hit by a bus/piano/anvil/whale.

The power to have ghost doctors from the 1750s perform really bad srs on anyone who tries to think of a bad consequence of me having this power.

I can inflict my current emotional state at will on other people of my choosing.

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Anytime you use this power, immediately afterwards you feel everyone in a half mile radius's feelings at 200% intensity at the same time.

Every time your past self reads one of your messages they ~~loose~~ lose the ability to read one word forever.

I will always have full knowledge of everything and know how to do anything

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You never get to use the power for your own enjoyment because people will never leave you alone…you will constantly assaulted with questions because everyone knows you have the answers. You have no peace.

You become completely physically disabled, almost a complete vegetative state, and can't physically do any of it.

I'll know how to construct a full exoskeleton with a brain interface and communicate the instructions to someone who can build it for me. Just look at how well Stephen Hawkins fared

I can summon whatever food and drink I want in the moment

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

The summoning makes you feel nauseous

Be able to have multiple save slots, change the outcomes of a timeline then save it within a savefile, and being able to bring items from different savefiles to the others. Would be cool to collect different iterations of games and movies.
