You're now a protocol droid.
Ok I think - except that I am absolute shit at protocol so now I'm gonna get someone killed.
Just put this fish in your ear.
Math, so so much math...
Ability to complete a household project with only 1 trip to the hardware store.
Impossible... that would break some fundamental law of physics or something

I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.
What if that just drives you insane due to the problem described by Gödel's incompleteness theorem? Maybe you'd become susceptible to someone telling you "this statement is false".

11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
And when you discover that free will is an illusion because of deterministic patterns, what will you do then?
Whatever it is physics demands they do, obviously.

I'll do the same for physics. Together we shall reign.

I'd upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.
This is a good one. I interact with a lot of East and South Asians in my spare time, and I would love to speak all of their languages. Especially since their English is not the best (in my circle, that is).
Probably the ability to not be an unbalanced idiot 24/7. I literally fell up the stairs twice this week. There are few people who are less scatter-brained than me.
Have you tried to engage your core more? edit: Sorry in advance for the reddit link, but here you go https://old.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1h4j9sl/tifu_by_never_using_my_core_muscles_for_thirty/
I appreciate the concern, but my problem is more on my ability to concentrate on what's in front of me. I'll be walking around or climbing up stairs while my brain is in la la land thinking about something else. That's normally how I end up clutzing out.
The logic in your post is sound though, I never did think about my core.
But I do work out and I do core workouts alongside arm day and leg day. If anything my core is the thing I'm strongest in.

Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.
This is a neat idea until you're in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need

Unlimited energy reserves would be nice. If I had half the energy I had when I was 16 I'd be fucking golden
Whatever is fun and makes money. Tired of being bored and broke all the time.
One way is making raytracing shaders for older games. I recall one korean dude whose patreon was raking in ~50k dollars a month, several of his releases/posts were about adding raytracing to Fallout 4
Thanks! Sounds like a significant learning curve.
Not that I'm opposed. Currently reskilling myself from bored accountant to hopefully some sort of IT wizard. Just learning everything I can get my hands on and doing projects like building / maintaining a home server, building a PC, switched to Linux last year, and coding some small projects in Python.
I just feel like I'm learning such basic things and won't be able to actually make money with any of this for years. It's frustrating lol
25 years in IT here: you're on the right track. Tablet generation has really caused a brain drain.
I think I'm going to get my nieces and nephews some pi5 desktops, I can't let them become teenagers without seeing a console.
I too wouldn't mind uploading poll dancing abilities. I feel like that would help lose weight and get great core strength so quickly.

I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.
the ability to think calmly and rationally
"I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do."
