The Levant.

Wait, are we not roleplaying powerful countries?

itsmikeyd,

I have a disease which limits what I can eat, therefor the ability to digest any food or drink comfortably.

kboy101222,

God I feel this. I’m probably not nearly as bad, but I’d like to not have to carefully analyze what I eat anymore

itsmikeyd,

Yeah… It’s crap

theDoctor, (edited )

~~What in the pseudoscience is this crap? Avoid garlic entirely, but no limit on the foi gras? ~~

Edit: FODMAP is not a ‘diet’ in the traditional sense, it’s a diet tailored to avoid triggering flare ups of medical conditions such as IBS. Wish the article had been more clear for those without knowledge of what FODMAP is.

itsmikeyd,

FODMAPs are pretty well understood. There aren’t any in meat.

theDoctor,

I know this is ancient history at this point, but I wanted to circle back.

I was not familiar with FODMAPs at all before reading the article. And since the article starts by calling it a ‘diet’ I made what I thought was the reasonable assumption that it was a traditional diet.

After you responded I looked it up more generally and now understand that it’s less of a traditional ‘diet’ and instead used to help prevent some medical conditions from flaring up.

That’s on me for not doing full research, and on the article for assuming everyone knows what FODMAPs are and why they are so important to some people.

Sorry for my ignorance.

itsmikeyd,

Props to you for coming back to this. Totally understand your incredulity to this if you thought it was some fad or weightloss diet though haha!

theDoctor,

I questioned my sanity for a bit after your first response until I realized what the diet actually was. I was properly confused!

kboy101222,

no garlic, no onions

Guess I’ll just fucking suffer then

Makes you think that the things you take for granted on a daily basis can be a super power for someone else

itsmikeyd,

Yup. Health is the most important thing you can have.

I would like to know every song’s lyrics upon hearing the first 10 seconds, think of the karaoke nights 🎤

Weirdfish,

Someone once mentioned slowing time for like 2 seconds as a terrible super power, but as a skateboarder, I think this would be amazing.

Zyansheep,

For people who are interested in the same things I am to glow faintly, the more similar interest, the more they glow.

I’d wave my hand and people arguing or hating in front of me or online, would suddenly be peaceful and conjointly coming up with solutions to their problems.

oktupol,

Whole political parties would cease to exist if that came true.

StankFlipper,

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.’”

  • never be bored.
  • fall asleep instantly.
  • pee and poop teleported straight into the toilet.
  • grow fingernails back quickly.
  • know how to do anything, but lose all memory of the thing when trying to do it, tell anyone, or record it.
  • ability to shapeshift, but your bones and muscles are going to hurt like hell. You think breaking a bone is bad? Try having all the bones in your face rearrange themselves.
Cethin,

Breaking bones actually doesn’t hurt much. If it does, it’s probably the other parts of the injury that hurt. When I broke my foot I thought nothing of it until I tried to walk. It was not successful. It didn’t hurt at all from my memory though.

Zozano,

I would chalk that up to adrenaline. Also the pain depends on where the break is. If the muscles around the broken bone are spasming, then the two halves of the bone are going to be grinding against each other. That’s why we use a splint in first aid.

Cethin,

Not adrenaline in my case. I was just messing around with friends and one fell and landed on my foot. It didn’t hurt at all from my recollection, but I couldn’t walk. But yeah, it totally depends on where it is and what kind of a break it is. The bone breaking part itself though doesn’t really hurt. What it causes can hurt and the stuff that causes it can hurt.

Ability to have perfectly control how awake i am

MrSlicer,

I could hold my poop indefinitely until I got home.

That I could tell someone to stop doing something and they’d actually listen and stop.

BubblyMango,

“stop breathing”

Boom dead. Best assasinatoin superpower.

stagen,
@stagen@feddit.dk avatar

I dunno, you’d have to get near someone to do that. Before long you’d be hunted down by people wearing earplugs.

I was really just trying for the more pedantic approach. “stop being annoying!”

BubblyMango,

“stop being annoying. Also, stop breathing next saturday. Tell no one i said that.”

Maybe its best i dont get this superpower XD

jhulten,

Get on the loudspeaker at the supermarket. “Stop breathing” instant mass murder…

HRYDJPCHNMNDGBLTFIYA,

Reminds me of Code Geass, that’s basically the premise but taken to an extreme level.

BubblyMango,

I really hated how only by the end he realized he can go all “do everything i say forever” instead of actually just giving them 1 command.

Knowing everything about my body.

What is my current blood sugar? O2 level electrolyte status? How much shit do I have in my colon?

limeaide,

Kinda like a performance monitor for your body. I would like that too

_danny,

Perfect control over memory.

So able to remember anything with high detail, but also able to forget the cringey stuff from middle school

BubblyMango,

Honestly, this is not a minor super power.

limeaide,

Maybe if there was a limit to how much you can remember. Like your brain runs out of storage kinda lol

But you have all the permissions in your brain. If you’d like you can delete English and learn Chinese when you’re going on a trip. Maybe you can even forget how to breathe or forget what other food tastes like so I can go on a diet that has nasty food.

My biggest fear would be by the time I’m like 60 i would be attached to too many memories and wouldn’t be able to learn new things

Ig it’s not too different than regular older people lol. There are some people at work that I’ve taught them how to attach a file to an email like 5 times already and they just don’t learn

I want to be able to build an endless tower of blocks that will never fall over

1 pound telekinesis in my line of sight. You won’t be opening any safes or stealing anyone’s gun, but you can do plenty of incredible stuff with even the weakest supernatural power.

I think I would be robbing casinos and thumbing the scale all over the place. It doesn’t take much to make marginal opportunities into steady gains if you can cheat physics and break probability.

Uno,

This power would be super useful. Imagine if using mirrors you could just lift all the dirt & grime off your skin, pick up all the dust on the floor, lift up a small camera and fly it through the air, or eat without utensils
