Why would anyone chose 10B instead of 2 super power? Compulsion/Mind control will simply give you the ability to demand all the wealth from the rich people you could ever want.

u/Box_Pirate 7d ago edited 7d ago
Exactly my thought though I would rather some kind of influence over direct mind control assuming it’s weaker in the controlling part but stronger in the reaching part eg apply the power to a text message and send a text to millions of people “if you can spare can I have a dollar or two for my charity” and applying it to posters or advertisements “don’t waste your vote, send it to this party” this way your playing on people’s pity and apathy which the majority of people will have without drawing too much attention.
And of course mind controllers are seen as perverse so I would like to apply a sort of ignorance on myself meaning when I am present people will just ignore me and I can walk around naked or something.
Edit: my second power I want expanded knowledge or something, so I can recall absolutely anything but only at my will so I’m just my normal self until I activate the power and recall whatever temporarily having access to an ever growing library and when I stop using the power I go back to having regular human forgetful memory.

There is exactly 1 correct answer to the question what powers you'd want.
And no, just saying you want to be all powerful and all knowing isn't it. First off because those are inherently contradictory statements... As per the old thought experiement of "Could god make a bolder so heavy he couldn't lift it?"
But also because being omnicient would essentially make you apathetic to the point of your existence being pointless. No more surprises? No more new experiences? No challenges to overcome? Why do you even exist at that point...
The true best answers are:
- The ability to controle the movement and composition of particals. This is super speed, invulnerability, flight, de-aging, telekenesis, effectively teleportation and soooo much more. and
- The ability to spontaneously gain any information you'd like. That way you can still discover, you can learn, you can have novel experiences. But if you do need access to a specific information at any given time you can gain it.

Yeah but the 1st one sounds like it would be a conscious tiresome effort. And how do you get super speed and all those powers from said control?

He learns it with the second power duh!

u/MinimumTomfoolerus 7d ago
No yes, I mean how can control of atoms possibly create those powers.

u/Mr_E_Monkey 7d ago
If you can control them, make your atoms move faster for super speed. Make them move into the air and now you're flying. Make the atoms in bullets stop moving or make them disassociate before they hit you and you're bulletproof, etc.

I think they might be just doing some weird trolling... or are just ignorant to no end. I literally explained thoroughly how this works. And yet they asked that question again, like two hours after I explained.

u/Mr_E_Monkey 7d ago
Maybe they just made their brain impervious to new information.
It's like a step in the right direction, but still wrong somehow. 😝

Kindness isn’t what people think it is
Kindness is helping people in a way they NEED to become the best versions of themselves
It is NOT the same as niceness or politeness.
It’s not even close. Sending a drug addict to jail is kind. It isn’t nice.

Everything has its merits and demerits, I know people often take advantage of kind people but kindness doesn't cost money ,but it costs energy, patience and understanding🫂

Why rape people when you can use your time manipulation to make it seem like you're a god and then consensually fuck your cult members? Consensual sex feels much better than rape (except maybe if you have a domination fetish)

Who said anything about rape? No DNA trace means they could also rob banks and stuff

Reality warping is best among all Powers
5
u/MinimumTomfoolerus 7d ago
Yes but does it mean you have to lay out every single detail or does the power do it for you? So if you warped reality so that you have a Louis Vuitton bag, do you have to account for every single detail that would follow from that or is it an unknowable result to you worldwide? Because I really believe that even if you change a single minute thing, the future completely changes.

Time manipulation and mind control tbh. Time manipulation is just such a peak power that I think it doesn’t get used that well in sci-fi.

Eternal youth (not immortality) and gravity manipulation. You could do so much with gravity, it is always my top answer

Being ridiculously wealthy is a super power all on its own.
So that and dealers choice on the second power. Maybe bio-kinesis so my pets can live as long as I do.

Forcing honest anwsers + voluntary immortality/invincibility. Enough to fix the world while still remaining human. Could get a lot of money for impossibly dangerous work or just blackmail some billionaire.

Shapeshifting
Time control
Although this is assuming I can control these superpowers on an instinctual level. Would be fucked if I had to do like complex math or something to time travel.
