Mosquitos used to find me attractive, but as I aged they didnβt come by no more.
Ooh, I'll be Always-Remembers-What-He-Was-Going-To-Buy-At-The-Store Man.
I just want to get the USB in the right way on my first attempt. Is that too much to ask for?
This power can be purchased for a few $. Search for "Usb reversible adapter". Or just keep usb-a to C adapters permanently in everything.
Perfect hearing man.
Might finally get rid of my tinnitus and I could hear silence again.
I don't know if this qualifies as "b-tier", but I'd really would like a superpower where when hearing a sound I knew exactly what made it.
I live in an old house, in the middle of a forest. Lots of weird noises both inside and outside. Being able to know if a sound I just heard requires my attention (i.e. "is that some animal messing around in my walls, or just the old wood squeaking") would be gold. The amount of times I've gotten out of bed in the middle of the night to investigate something is too damn high. After countless mice, vasps nests, birds, and various mammals deciding to move in with us, my paranoia levels have skyrocketed.
Would also sort out the "is that my kid crying, or just the draft through the vents"-question, as well as "is that normal wood settling noises, or is there more rot I've yet to find and the whole house is collapsing".
This sounds like a good premise for a horror story. You get your hearing superpower and everything is finally great, no need to get up and investigate benign noises. And then one day, you hear a sound that no matter what you do, you canβt tell what and where itβs coming from.
I'm happy I'm not alone. Last night something was going through my kitchen. It sounded larger than a mouse and it didn't care about making noise. You know that moment when you're asleep and your body wakes you up slightly cuz something is off. And you're in that low power state thinking about whether you should think or not because it'll wake you up?
Anyway I was so exhausted I thought let it have some fun I just can't care.
There are dozens of us!
I've had the exact same reaction - "whatever it is, as long as it stays out of the bedroom I'll deal with it tomorrow".
My favorite incident here, as a tangent, is when my wife came to me for help while I was doing something in the garden. A large crow was sitting on the kitchen counter. My initial thought was "well there goes my day" as birds tend to be the worst to get out. However, everyone keep saying how smart those birds are so I figured I'd do what I do when half-ferral cats stumble in.
So I walked in, see the crow, the crow sees me, and we kind of just stare at each other. I slowly backed up, went around the house and entered again through the backdoor. I grabbed his attention again before going out once more, and in again through the main door. We stared at each other some more, and then he just lightly jumped across the floor and went out the back door. No frantical flying and crapping everywhere. 10/10 experience as far as birds stuck in the house goes.
It's probably in my imagination, but we shared a moment there. What's not in my imagination though is that afterwards a bunch of crows started hanging around the house. So I started giving them some snacks every once in a while, because why not. Long story long, we have a small murder of crows watching over the property.
Do they still not tangle when you hand said cables to someone?
They can, but they get untangled once OP has them again.
Having recently undergone a full extraction of my remaining teeth and gotten dentures, I'll take "has a healthy set of teeth"- or "can afford dental implants"-man
Alright, then I can be "I can afford experimental treatment to regrow my teeth-man!"
My knees and elbows don't hurt man.
Always remember where I put stuff man
I don't want to lose another guitar pick lol
I'd be perfect departure time man. Able to determine exactly when to leave in order to arrive at your destination on time, regardless of traffic, weather, or other conditions encountered along the way.
Not a B tier power, my God you just invented the governments secret delivery method. You're planning perfect extraction and invasion strategies, nuclear fall back evacuation routes. You just became a national secret, son.
I take perfect shits no matter what. Never constipated or have diahrea. Wipes are always perfectly clean.
B-side Man
Your super hero name is now "Number Two"
the B-Tier power I'd choose is to control bees
yes the pun is intended
My toes are unstubbable
Wow now this is the superpower I want. Iβd walk through my house in the dark with WILD ABANDON!
B being secondary with A as the highest or tertiary with S as the highest?
If the former, I'll be Doesn't Overthink Everything Man
If the latter, I'll go with Correct Orientation of USB drives and Cables on First Try Man
I too would choose quantum superpositioning USB powers
Incredible massage dude. I want to be able to give incredible massages that relax muscles. Maybe the ability to relieve stress by touch. Bonus points if it works on myself, my shoulders suck.
