The ability to reset my life from and resume from any "save point".

For the purposes of this power there are two kinds of "save points":

  • autosave points (yearly, on one's birthday)
  • regular save points (done at-will as part of the power)

Why? Who hasn't indulged in the what-ifs of life? What if I can revisit certain points in my life and relive those what-ifs myself?

even better manifestations of your astral projections, while sleeping.

If you extend that to "manipulating organic matter by touch" you could not only heal them but also fix that crooked nose that always bothered them but wouldn't count as illness or injury. Makes more people more happier. You could also grow them wings or cat ears ;-)

I want to know how and what to say to other people to convince them to do what I ask. So like not full manipulation or mind reading but like social engineering turned up to 100!

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Being able to stop time. Unlimited sleep.

To always have the right amount of change in my pocket

Don't really want to be rich, just always have enough

[–] krowbear@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I would want to be able to switch bodies with people like in Freaky Friday, but I would want to control who and when.

Shapeshifter: it’s broken as hell if you take it to the molecular level. Shapeshift into something that can fly, into a very thin transparent film on the ceiling of a room, into something which can withstand great temperatures or bullets, hell, you can even shapeshift into something that photosynthesizes.

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.

I want a familiar named Git that obeys me.

Hey! That annoying guy that you hate speaking with is coming towards you

Git, push!

Would you look at that! What an amazing thing

Git, pull!

Oooh. What a great idea!

Git, commit!

There’s no way I said that, you must be remembering wrong

Git, diff!

So many possibilities

Edit: bonus points if you guess what I’d be stashing all the time

I want time travel like a video game or Git handles it. I want to be able to save and load timelines.

You know how some people have photographic memory and memorize everything they hear once for their entire lives?

I want the other side of that coin where I can look at something or think about anything for a while and immediately understand entirety of it.

Not formal understanding with all the equations and chemistry at atomic level, but more like someone explaining the equations and chemistry of it to me should "click" intuitively.

It would be really fun to go around learning random subjects.
