1 and 7 for me. I work with 20+ languages and can't understand a single one of them outside of English. Even the languages I'm trying to get a basic understanding of each have different dialects.

Also 7 would be a great way to encourage me to exercise. I'd be lifting weights with my arms and my mind for practise!

Ok telekinesis would be cool.

But I'm going with 2 and 6.

2 because my short term and long term memory is really bad (compared to most other people), which is makes college and work extremely difficult. Also, it'd be nice to remember my anniversary. So a cute would be awesome even if it comes with some downsides. I'm pretty good about accepting things and not getting thing up on stuff.

6 is great because it can be similar to perfect health. I think that can be interpreted two ways, immortalality or perfect health RIGHT NOW. I don't really want to live forever. That only seems to have downsides. so I'd rather an extra 8 hours in my day where I can devote some of that to working out and eating healthier. I do that now, but I'm too busy to be as consistent as I'd like.

Natural talent and telekinesis.

Assuming I can improve it by just getting stronger would only encourage my already disciplined gym habits and I would be twice as strong in any circumstance where I can make direct contact with something as well as use my telekinesis on it.

Natural talent just because getting past the "I'm so bad I'm not having fun" stage of literally any hobby/skill is the hardest thing for me to overcome. I hate every second and I usually quit before I develop enough to enjoy whatever It is.

Number 1 has the most utility

I would go to 5 and 6 hands down having enough time to sleep always even while working and enough change to buy things.

For 6 I think one problem would be to pass time sometimes you want to sleep i.e travelling you would be forced to experience the whole thing a 5 hour ride would turn into a whole day or 2 if you sleep.

And if you happen to be in an accident that puts you in a coma with a wound that needs immediate treatment you would die. since time is frozen for anyone who could help you while unconscious.

If time pauses when you sleep does that mean your cell functions pause too? Because that would essentially mean you never get the rest you need. Alternatively it's premature aging compared to the world. Sounds not great either way.

I choose 1 and 3. 1 because I like learning languages, and 3 because ADHD, motherfuckers.

What happens if you need a surgery?

I’m surprised not more people are choosing 4. It’s not so much a guarantee of long life, but that you’d never suffer any debilitating diseases (think cancer, diabetes, dementia etc).

The other one would probably be 3. Could use those skills to make money so kinda offsets against potential infinite money glitch in 5.

It's 2 and 3 for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1 and 2. Would be awesome to be able to speak every language.

Also, with perfect recall you can probably excel at many different kinds of tasks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Remember that one time you said something stupid/embarrassing and it kept you awake at night? ...Now you remember all of them. You can play them back at night in every language you want!

3 says you can learn laguages extremely easily and naturally be good at it essentially. Likely beget to choose 3 and have it cover 1 and 2. 4 seems like a given.

I mean, that's already the case for me lmao

4 and 6

  • 1 is useful if you travel a lot (i don't)
  • 2 is mostly a hassle
  • 3 i already have
  • 5 you get easy with 6.
  • 7 is cool but useless
  • 8 gets quickly boring

Btw, "perfect health" = no aging, right?
