  • You can fly but you can never stop flying
  • You can turn invisible, but never be seen again

    God of Toilet Paper.

    You might laugh, but I would own the world.

    If you were in my favor, you would get the softest, never-chafing, cleanest single-wipe-clean TP ever. No matter what you ate, no matter how spicy, no matter how ill, you could be assured of pain-free, cooling, soothing, wipes. It would be beautiful. Rainbows and peace, no matter how violent the shit

    Piss me off? Anything you choose to clean your backside with is then designated TP. I will clog all the toilets, all the plumbing, all the sewers. I can make it all gympie-gympie leaves, sandpaper, wax paper, or just vanish mid-wipe. No matter how much you wiped your already raw ass, there would still be more. I would be a scourge on the Earth, and all would have to bow down before me. You would love me. You would hate me.

    He who controls the comfort of the sphincter, controls the world.

    Everyone within my earshot has to tell the truth.

    Works with TV, radio. Any real time communication.

    I think this should also work on myself

      I would use this power to make a communist organization of my choice completely immune to infiltration

      Imagine an America without COINTELPRO

    Teleport. Its always on, so I’m just flickering on the spot constantly so fast that its only visible on some cameras.

    At the same time this gives me the seeming ability to fly at will, be anywhere, and potentially float (destructively) through walls.

        Oh wow, yeah, just flickering between two or more points of existence. It’d be hard to have a simultaneous conversation, but I’m just thinking now of the restaurant possibilities… having a nandos whilst eating a creme mont blanc

    The ability to shapeshift doesn’t really get affected by this caveat, so that remains about as appealing as it was before.

    Taken to an extreme, one can get a controllable/turn-off-able biological immortality and at-will violation of conservation of matter/energy.

        What if there’s an earthquake and you get stuck under a mountain of rubble? Could take months for you to get out of there. How about a skiing accident involving an avalanche? Could take even longer When you are completely immortal, you suddenly start to view certain risks in a very different way.

          How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

          Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

          Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

        Not for everything and not good enough though.

        Especially for something as complex as mental illnesses/trauma your body has hardly any ability to heal by itself.

        Though then we can get pedantic: How long should you feel down when someone you love died? Because I don’t consider it a bad thing for something like this to take a while before healing. It’d suck to attend their funeral having completely healed already.

        Sometimes the always on healing works so good cells start doing things like reactivating telomerase and ignoring the signals for programmed cell death and become cancer, sometimes turning effectively immortal.

            Not really an endorsement but the ones I use look more like ski goggles in their shape. I have a high nose bridge so that is the only kind I can use that doesn’t leak a lot. The one on the right in this picture is what I prefer.

        I expect that the physics of true invisibility would actually make you blind, since your retinas wouldn’t be able to absorb any photons. They would have to pass through unaltered to maintain invisibility. Otherwise people would be able to see 2 “shadows” where your retinas are.

    I would choose to have the power to turn off superpowers and then I’d turn off my superpower.

    Shapeshifting. It’s what I wanted anyway and I can always just be continuously toggling the length of my little toenail to be 1mm longer or shorter.

        Could be worse. Highly nutritious foodstuff providing plenty of vitamins, protein, and fiber. I could do a lot to alleviate some world hunger immediately. Making people fart all over the world would be fun, too.

        I could also put beans in the no-bean-chili gatekeepers chili. Evil bean god could be fun, too.
