instantly renaming a large city

But you have to name it after the person you hate the most.

Can communicate with any animal

[โ€“] MadBabs@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But they can't communicate with you

[โ€“] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Haha imagine trying to explain that to people.

"I have a superpower, I can speak to animals they just can't speak back"

"But everyone has that superpower, I can do that too"

"Yeh but I'm actually really talking to them, like in their language that they can understand"

"How do you know?"

"..."

I mean, you can ask an animal to do some arbitrary action specified by the other person, and then the animal (hopefully) does it. This side effect isn't great, but it definitely still leaves some real usefulness.

Telling my dog as I go to the garage, "I'll be back in literally one minute." and being understood would rock.

Fall asleep at any time and place by will

[โ€“] otacon239@lemmy.world 48 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.

I either wake up rested or not my problem anymore.

I'll stick with the strongest superpower of them all, I am Cables Never Tangle Man!

But you cannot tie knots anymore. Even worse - every knot you touch magically slips open. Be careful not to trip over your shoelaces!

Being able to hear from afar

[โ€“] glorkon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

But only bad music.

[โ€“] Bwaz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I guess I choose Denmark or maybe Portugal. Having USA and Russia being superpowers has been real shit.

[โ€“] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I can teleport instantly to any location I have previously visited.

[โ€“] benagain@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But each location has a specific song you must play on an Ocarina....

[โ€“] laranis@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do I know the song automatically? Or like, do I have to defeat someone in single combat to get to learn the song?
