I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.
Being able to manually adjust my focus on and interest in what I’m doing.
To be able to dream, or at least be able to remember my dreams if I actually am having them. I used to be able to remember my dreams pretty vividly right after I woke up and I could tell when I was having them. Now, nothing.
To actually fall asleep within a few minutes of laying in bed, and stay asleep until I actually need/want to be awake.
I have this power, and it is in fact… super
I used to have insomnia that came from anxiety about my future (I’m guessing.) When I started doing carpentry and started truly exhausting my body I gained the ability to sleep ANYWHERE ANY TIME FOR HOWEVER LONG I WANTED.
It’s seriously amazing. I’m 33 now and don’t have to work quite as hard, plus am used to the long shifts that are hard on your body. I can still sleep pretty much whenever, wherever.
I flew to England once (it was like a 14 hour flight) and seriously slept the entire time. I didn’t even have a window seat.
I did residential construction for a couple years, then 4 in the military, so no stranger to physical exhaustion… Insomnia hit even in those times.
The only way to predictably get a decent chunk of sleep is to kind of bank hours in the days leading up to it. Like if get 0 to maybe 3 hours per night through the work week, I’ll sleep like a baby come Saturday.
Never been on meds for it. Was afraid to report it when I was active duty (fucking stupid) and now my rating isn’t high enough to cover prescriptions and I don’t have regular health insurance so… can’t afford them. :-/
Ugh brutal man. I hope one day you can sleep well :(
Here’s hoping. Cracking away at nursing prerequisites, so assuming that path goes as planned, I’m a couple years away from a job as a nurse, which will hopefully translate to a large enough pay check to afford health insurance.
Light at the end of the tunnel.
You can do it. I believe in you.
Thanks! It’s going well so far! Actually rocking a 4.0, but the class I’m in now (microbiology) will likely be putting an end to that. Confident in a passing grade at least, and that’s all I really need for admission into the nursing program. Things are moving along!
Fuck yeah! I’m a stupid tradesman so I don’t exactly know what 4.0 means, but it sounds high. I know from TV that it means good. But I don’t know why haha
You know when you have a discussion or confrontation, and six hours later you realize what you should have said? My superpower would be the wits to always think of the right thing immediately.
Apparently nobody here knows what a “small thing” is.
The ability to know exactly where anything I think of is located.
You could make some serious money with this power. You could find anyone’s lost pet or keepsake.
Perfect control over memory.
So able to remember anything with high detail, but also able to forget the cringey stuff from middle school
Not quite mind control, but I’d like the ability to blast common sense into morons minds by looking at them. Like a psychic mind dart that says, “maybe this line has a purpose and I should get in queue instead of trying to force my way in from the outside” or “maybe I should listen to the sign that says ‘don’t put your kid on a railing above tiger enclosure.’”
I have a disease which limits what I can eat, therefor the ability to digest any food or drink comfortably.
Makes you think that the things you take for granted on a daily basis can be a super power for someone else
Yup. Health is the most important thing you can have.
The ability to accelerate my speed of thoughts so I could come up with witty comebacks in real time and not hours later.
Any insect that touches my skin realizes the error of its ways and peacefully leaves me alone.
Sleep for 1 hour but with all of the benefits of 8 hours.
Just the ability to fall asleep instantly would be a godsend
For me I’d also like to add that I wouldn’t wake up just because a loud car drove by. I can sleep fast, but staying asleep is difficult
Knowing everything about my body.
What is my current blood sugar? O2 level electrolyte status? How much shit do I have in my colon?
Kinda like a performance monitor for your body. I would like that too
The ability to know all of someone’s usernames and passwords by only looking at a photo of their face.
The perfect ability in the modern age for a secret life as either vigilante or villain.
I would like to know every song’s lyrics upon hearing the first 10 seconds, think of the karaoke nights 🎤
