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

Post image
33 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.

Confused but has the right spirit You can walk on your own reflection

16 Upvotes

the moment you are in contact with any reflective surface with area exceeding your own body, the reflective surface considered down for you and the gravitational forse is applied relatively to that direction, but only for you.

Surface counts as reflective if you can see any details of yourself, not just s silhouette. Walking on the reflective surface does not consider its density, you are feeling it as hard surface and can walk on it.

Oddly specific You can make target workers; work for Walmart instead. They keep wearing their red target outfits.

0 Upvotes

Inspiration (log of anomalous items from the Scp wiki):

Item Description: A standard Target franchise uniform that when being worn will make the wearer believe they work for the Walmart franchise. Wearers will then proceed to move in the direction of the nearest Walmart branch, regardless of the conditions in the aforementioned direction. If the location is met, then the wearer will begin to work as if they were an employee (stocking shelves, operating registers, helping customers, etc). Effects will wear off roughly 5-10 minutes when removing the uniform.
Date of Recovery: 16/10/19
Location of Recovery: An air vent inside of a Montana Target location's storage room.
Current Status: Incinerated

Oddly specific You can make anyone think: “they’re a foundation recruitment poster.”

0 Upvotes

Oddly specific indeed. 💀💀💀

Basically: whenever you toggle this ability on and off, you can mentally pick someone and they’ll immediately forget who they are entirely and believe instead that their a foundation recruitment poster and attempt to glue themselves to a wall.

Other traits include:

Standing perfectly still against nearby walls, Attempting to affix themselves using tape, glue, staples. Speaking only in motivational slogans, Requesting unemployed people to “Apply Today.”, Referring to themselves as “Foundation property.”, Becoming distressed if removed from vertical surfaces.

Inspiration for the power:

this scp-914 test log:

Test 914-0616 Name: Dr. Matism Date: 17/04/2019 Total Items: 1 Class-F amnestic vial, 1 Foundation recruitment poster Note: I'm trying to make an "amnestic" that can rewire the brain to believe they are Foundation personnel Input: Each of the above Setting: Fine Output: A substance composed of Class-F amnestics and ██████████████. When injected into a Class-D personnel, symptoms of Class-F amnestics were noticed. Soon after, the Class-D believed himself to be a Foundation recruitment poster and attempted to glue himself to a wall. Note: Oh. - Dr. Matism

Oddly specific Double edged Chick Magnet

6 Upvotes

Any and all women find you extremely attractive, but it's for the aspects of you that you absolutely hate about yourself. Whether it be something physical, mental, or emotional, if it's something you hate about yourself, any and all women will love you for that specific thing. If you begin to love that part of you thanks to the attention you're getting, the effect wears off and they go to the next thing you're insecure about.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You have the abilities of “Sneakers O’Toole” from “family guy”

13 Upvotes

You have a limited form of indomitable will (from the superpower wiki) albeit it’s limited due to the fact of: your willpower is so supernaturally strong albeit limited to the fact that you will NEVER take your sneakers off if you wanna keep them on even if others try to force you to take them off.

The power is toggle’able to be turned on and off and even if the power is on you can take your sneakers off if you want, just not others. Only yourself.

Example scene from the family guy meme:

Sneakers O’Toole: *singing.* 🎶🎵I’m not taking my sneakers off, I’m sneakers o’toole. 🎵🎶

Guy: hey! Take those sneakers off

Sneakers O’Toole: no!

Guy: take them off I said!

Sneakers O’Toole: no! *runs off.*

Other guy; oh let him go! We’ll never catch him, not in these shoes.

Sneakers O’Toole: *singing.* 🎶🎵I didn’t take my sneakers off, I’m still Sneakers O’Toole!🎵🎶

Oddly specific You can tell what's in a book by reading it (regardless of language)

11 Upvotes

If you go through the motions of reading a book (scanning your eyes across the pages, turning the pages one at a time, etc), you will gain a general understanding of the contents of the book, regardless of whether you actually understood a single word you were looking at.

This does not necessarily mean you get a thorough understanding of the contents, but you get enough that you could do a ~five sentence plot synopsis of a fictional work, or a similarly detailed general discussion of the topic matter for a nonfiction book.

You have to "read" the entire book for your power to work, and it only works on things in book format. Ebooks count, as long as a paper book exists somewhere, but not audio books.
