Ask Lemmy

Super Siri that can answer any questions.

"How do I build a time machine?"

"Is there any hidden treasure around here?"

"How do I make myself immortal?"

Ending all conflicts in the world with one command

The ability to manipulate probability.

Get the green light, getting you some where on time. Somehow manage to tickets to a sold out concert. Boss just extended a deadline to allow you to get the work done. Score the prefect seats on an airplane. No delays when taking a train.

To revisit events in my past while retaining all knowledge. I wouldn't want to alter the main timeline, but there are so many things I'd like to experience again and experiment with doing things differently. And some deep regrets I'd like a conplete do-over on. Maybe even live some "branches of alternate lives" for years if I wanted.

Voluntary Immortal. Meaning I can die if I want to badly enough. I'd like to just observe all the remaining time humans are a thing without having to worry about mortal body maintenance and food.

My farts are now filled with ultra potent sex pheromones. My farts are usually quiet, and usually no one notices them. Time to reap the wind!

Time travel, not to change anything, just to be able to experience things that no longer exist or relive memories.

My family is full of mental health issues.

I'd like to fix that for them and myself, and for all the other sufferers out there.

Superhero ability? Healing. By far.

Hyperintelligence?

It's a gamble. But if you can survive long enough to cobble some tech together, you're basically a god.

...Time travel is a close 2nd. Also powerful, but risky.

Rapid healing. Living for several hundred years would be nice. Change my carrier once every 20 years. This is the selfish choice.

The superpower that I feel could help more people is superspeed. First on my list is a visit to all dictators with a warning to knock if off.

Omnipotence or time manipulation.

Telepathy.

I really want to know the truth of what people think of me. Especially these "blood relatives".

Adaptability.

Get a cut? Your skin adapts to no longer have that happen. Get shot? You’re now bulletproof. Cancer? Your body adapted before it could even get slightly serious. Muscles that build faster without needing to do much more than lift a heavy weight a few times.

Saw it in a book called Superhuman way back in the day. Cool concept.

Healing powers 100%

But if I'm being selfish/lazy, I'd copy Ezra from Fairy Tail, she can swap out her armor and weapons instantly. I'd use it to always have a rain coat, umbrella. Fall over in bed and be instantly be PJs, wake up stay and in comfy cloths right until I get to work. Climb up a ladder and never have to go back down for a tool. Spill food all over, and instantly have a new shirt. Get mugged and swap over to appropriate armor and a heavy assault weapon.

The ability to break things down into bricks of their atomic elements. Imagine what could be done with waste and recycling, especially tech recycling. You could make money easy.

If you were willing, I think you could create world peace (not absolute, but you could end wars if dickhead political leaders suddenly became chunks of carbon and other elements).

Definitely the ability to speak/communicate deeply with animals.

Photosynthesis

Gaining energy going social activities not losing it

Basic telekenisis. I want to be able to move object(s) with my mind. This can include me, also giving me a base level of flight.

It would just be so convenient. Nothing is ever out of reach again.

Healing. Can you imagine how happy the world would be? Parents with a sick child can take them to the park for the first time. Bed ridden people can see the world with their own eyes as opposed to a screen. Despair and grief would change to happiness and serenity. I'd be crazy busy but if it means that everyone everywhere is guaranteed to live a long, happy life, I'd gladly pay the price.

The ability to steal anywhere from 1-10 hours of sleep from someone I touch per 24 hours

The ability to phase thru anything, passive ghostlike body. Basically walk into any bank and walk thru the vault snatching whatever, bullets pass right thru you, but you can still hold things to deal damage back!

Then take out most of the world governments at an unstoppable slow-walk with a shit-eating grin and declare the new post-scarcity world ready for action without anymore billionaires or megacorps.

Hands down something like magik (marvels magik, ie illayan rasputin, ie colossuses sister) where you can teleport and get your own dimension. Its basically like having the tardis as an innate power.

I don't want to be truly immortal, but if I could be like I am now for a few hundred years that would be pretty cool.

To make people know stuff and experience stuff.

Then I'm just gonna travel the world to get people educated, see the other side of the story, think independently, etc. Like I think those are if you have the experience of it once then you know how to do it on your own.

There will be all those mind control moral dilemma of free will and bias and stuff I think rising up o along the way, so that could be the complicated part, the self-justification of power. I don't really care for being just though so I think it's just going to be all jolly.

I think with that we should be able to get some people to stop fighting and be happy at least. Probably make some part of the society more functional as usually the system always break at some point but good men along makes stuff work. Though it's another jump from educated men to good men :)
