Everyone within my earshot has to tell the truth.

Works with TV, radio. Any real time communication.

I think this should also work on myself

I would use this power to make a communist organization of my choice completely immune to infiltration

Imagine an America without COINTELPRO

Power to make people have empathy.

God of Toilet Paper.

You might laugh, but I would own the world.

If you were in my favor, you would get the softest, never-chafing, cleanest single-wipe-clean TP ever. No matter what you ate, no matter how spicy, no matter how ill, you could be assured of pain-free, cooling, soothing, wipes. It would be beautiful. Rainbows and peace, no matter how violent the shit

Piss me off? Anything you choose to clean your backside with is then designated TP. I will clog all the toilets, all the plumbing, all the sewers. I can make it all gympie-gympie leaves, sandpaper, wax paper, or just vanish mid-wipe. No matter how much you wiped your already raw ass, there would still be more. I would be a scourge on the Earth, and all would have to bow down before me. You would love me. You would hate me.

He who controls the comfort of the sphincter, controls the world.

You are now Cyamites, the god of beans. Use your powers wisely.

Could be worse. Highly nutritious foodstuff providing plenty of vitamins, protein, and fiber. I could do a lot to alleviate some world hunger immediately. Making people fart all over the world would be fun, too.

I could also put beans in the no-bean-chili gatekeepers chili. Evil bean god could be fun, too.

[โ€“] papertowels@lemmy.one 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I love the idea of evil bean god! Thought it was a nice easter bunny chocolate? BAM, BEANS.

THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR CELEBRATING ANOTHER GOD, HERETIC.

There is petty revenge and then there is this.

Sixth sense/ Intuition

[โ€“] Reil@beehaw.org 3 points 6 days ago

The ability to shapeshift doesn't really get affected by this caveat, so that remains about as appealing as it was before.

Taken to an extreme, one can get a controllable/turn-off-able biological immortality and at-will violation of conservation of matter/energy.

I'd chose telekinesis. Heck man i'm sick of having only 2 hands and i'm lazy. I'm ready to use it everytime.

Kegel would hate you

Super strength. I'm just always strong. Cool.

[โ€“] oascany@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You would have to recalibrate your interactions, or you'd be breaking things and people constantly.

[โ€“] Grapho@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

And don't ever lash out on accident (even if it's because you got ticklish or you jerked in your sleep)

[โ€“] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Just stay fit

[โ€“] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

The power to see through clothing. Because it would remind me that no one is really important.

[โ€“] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Umm... Sure that's why you want that

I mean, why else? Unless you're surrounded by swimsuit models, most of what you'd see isn't that pleasant. Plus everybody's body would be smushed from their clothing, so it'd look kind of wonky.
