You can choose 1 superpower, but the first reply is the side effect. What superpower would you choose? (sh.itjust.works)

    You can only teleport to random places

    Random place WITHOUT obstacle detection or height limit makes this risssky.. πŸ˜†

    The odds of you NOT ending up dangerously high above the ground or embedded IN the ground are... low.

    I think the odds of ending up within sight of the earth are basically 0. The universe is a big place.

    Depends on the range. If 10 feet, you'd survive most falls, but still bury yourself a portion of the time. 100 feet, probably dead. 200 thousand miles? Space sucks without an appropriate suit.

    The problem is that Earth is unlikely to be there at all

    Please elaborate, because there's a at least a couple different things you could be referring to, and I'd rather not write something out on the wrong topic :)

    The tread is just:

    1. Teleportation
    2. Only to random locations (no distances measured)

    I’m taking that to mean a random location anywhere in the universe except the starting location. The earth is an infinitesimally small part of the universe, so most teleportations would end up in intergalactic space.

    I mean, the spirit of the "superpower side effects" game isn't to render the superpower fully unusable, but to make it thoroughly annoying or to have a big downside/cost. Teleporting to a random point in all of the space of the universe is just a death sentence. My only reasonable read of this is "random location on Earth (not mid-air, underwater, or embedded within solid matter)".

    When I first started playing Ragnarok Online, there was this one item, aΓ­ believe it was something like bat wings, that was really valuable and when you used you would teleport to a random place in the same map/sections. I thought it was a shit item, but soon enough I understood that its power was to run away from problems when you are low on health.

    So I think it still is a good power.
