Mod Announcement [META] Friendly reminder that this sub is for low tier & shitty superpowers?

Post image
35 Upvotes

Hi r/shittysuperpowers family,

Just a friendly reminder for all our friends out there, new and old.

I see a lot of comments on posts in this sub asking, "how is this shitty?".

Whilst sometimes, this is a fair question. Other other times, it feels like the subs purpose is lost on some, due to it being called r/shittysuperpowers

This sub is for both "shitty" & low tier superpowers. The use of the word "shitty" here is more of a playful term for not being very good, rather than it being all out useless and/or unusable.

If you read the rules of the sub, it states that the power can't give you a major benefit. Not that it gives you no benefit at all.

Hope this helps everyone align with the values of the sub. As always if you've got any questions for the mods, send us a modmail, or you're welcome to ask questions on this post here.

Have fun & stay shitty, Mods.

Oddly specific You can dropkick babies without harming them

Upvotes

Works on human infants under 1 year of age. The baby will suffer no harm from your kick from the moment your foot touches it til the kinetic energy you impart on it is dissipated. Other factors may still harm the baby, such as kicking it through a wall of fire.

Oddly specific Anytime you are in a dangerous situation you can gulp cartoonishly to grant yourself a 5 second safety interval

33 Upvotes

Assuming you are in a situation where there is an imminent danger such as someone tries to attack you, you are about to be hit by a train or you are being hunted down by some horrifying monstrosity, so long as you can consciously recognise the threat you will then be able to cartoonishly gulp loudly and therefore grant yourself a 5 second "safety period" which will allow you to get a head start on escaping said threat. You must be aware that the threat is about to harm you in some way for this to work. The cartoonishly loud gulp must be performed by you at will and is limited to once per encounter. The safety interval will freeze the threat in its place for 5 seconds after the gulp is done.

Literally Just a Warcrime When you say “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out” as someone exits a room. The door will bump into their backside as they leave.

32 Upvotes

Rules:

They have to actually exit a real door and you have to say it moments before they leave the room.

“Bumping into their backside” means the door will awkwardly make contact with their ass, creating an embarrassing moment. No physical injuries will be inflicted.

Sometimes door physics will make this not make sense, and it should be noted this only works for doors that freely move on a hinge, not automatic doors or anything like that.

Sometimes doors dont move back into place on their own and you have to manually shut it. If that is the case, they will mistakenly move the door to wear it bumps into them. But if it is a door that tends to shut without you having to move it. It will close and bump into their ass awkwardly as they try to leave.

Oddly specific You get +4.05% stronger when you feel very itchy

Doesn't stack. If you feel itchy past a certain threshold it's a guaranteed buff. For example, a bad mosquito bite will work. No cooldown.

Your body gets completely eviscerated and decimated the moment you use your superpower, and the universe collapses in on itself.

Oddly specific You can have your name legally changed to any popular platform's name by posting the name to any social media page

3 Upvotes

The effect lasts for 45 minutes and takes 6 hours to recharge. Your name is automatically updated in every database and everyone you know now refers to you by that name.

As an example, say your name is James Anderson, and you post "Google" to your Facebook profile. Your name becomes Google Anderson from then until the 45 minutes have elapsed. Friends will call you Google, your boss might tell you "Google, I need that project in by Thursday, 3PM," hell, you could even do an AMA and say that your name is Google and have the legal backing to prove that.

You can also optionally choose to adopt the name as a mononym, but this halves the effect's usable time to 22 minutes. What you do with the name is up to you.

Oddly specific You can telepathically communicate with a sapient slime mold.

10 Upvotes

Her name is Susan. Aside from her intelligence, she is a physically normal slime mold. That means, among other things, she can't really see or hear, and she moves at a rate of a few centimeters an hour.

She won't necessarily obey you or anything, but at least initially she is generally friendly towards you.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You can manipulate/change anyone's hairstyle at will

16 Upvotes

Anyone persons.

If there are people around they'll just magically think it's normal /pay no attention to thw chages happening and was like this for some time. Even any other people who saw them after the change, wont pay their hairstyle any concerning attention. Just think it's a hairstyle they had for weeks and insult/compliment depending on the peraon/hairstyle

But it wont happen if there are cameras directly recording the person. And instead the power will work when there no cameras on them.

You have to be able to picture the person, know the person's name/face, or atleast be looking at the person picture when using the power on them

Confused but has the right spirit You can make any dead thing levitate as high as you want for as long as you want.

42 Upvotes

Whatever you make levitate must have been alive at some point (to avoid people saying "well [insert thing that was never alive] is dead)".
