I can undo and retry fumbled social interactions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

But you shit yourself while you're going home every time.

But the memory of each fumble haunts you permanently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Retrying these fumbled social interactions can occasionally lead to absurdly consequential butterfly effects that rock the foundations of the world around you. Every disaster stemming from a social retake is preceded by a benign itch in the back of your ear. Sometimes you just get that itch for literally no reason anyway, though.

I have a set of mental buttons i can press which lets me instantly fix some common flaws of being a human:

  • fall asleep
  • stop humming a song stuck in my head
  • stop feeling light headaches
  • postpone hunger for 3 hours
  • shut of tinnitus
  • make the itching stop

Pressing one inconvenience-fixing button also causes a random inconvenience in the list to reoccur. Hope you like invisible splinters in your socks and random hiccups every time you want to cure your allergies.

When you push one of those buttons, it's effect is random.

"I really need to get this song out of my head so I can concentrate on cla....ZZZZZZZZZZ"

You fall asleep easily, but you have wicked sleep apnea.

You can stop humming songs but it dials the intrusive thoughts up to 11

Good news, your light headaches have been replaced with moderate migraines.

You can postpone your hunger for 3 hours, but anything you consume within that window you permanently develop a sickness taste aversion to.

The ringing in your ear has been replaced with the Wilhelm scream.

The itching has stopped. The only price was IBS.

... and they see you. You remind them of the taste of food. It's been so long.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

...but everyone already knows that before they see the movie about your life.

Telekinesis with no mass limit.

But it also has no speed limit, causing items you pull around to reach light speed almost instantly, effectively growing to infinite size for the duration of the pull

Honestly, in controlled conditions, I think I can benefit humanity with this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I can find any lost object.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

You have to sort through every object anyone has ever lost to do so

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Any object you locate begins looking for you
