The ability to turn most traffic lights green (not all of them just, like 90%), would basically be the reverse of my current super power of turning most traffic lights red

The ability to accelerate my speed of thoughts so I could come up with witty comebacks in real time and not hours later.
Exactly once a month, I find a 20 on the ground. It can be anytime of the month and it can only be once a month. How great a feeling to find a 20 on the ground and no one is around?
The 20s are coming from scumbag people like jerks who donβt pick up their dogs poop or are mean to customer service people.
Being able to find the exact book page or moment in a Netflix series where I was when I fell asleep last night.
Or when my cat starts to make her first vomit sounds being able to beam her from the carpet to a floor with tiles in a split second.
Taking photos with my eyes. Would help a ton with getting pictures of cool bugs without having to fiddle with my phone and get defeated by autofocus
Lie detection
The ability to control the temperature (and perhaps humidity and/or composition too) of air within 1mm of my body. Like a personal air conditioner. Would make going outside right now so much more bearable, pretty sure it would help with sleep too... Sigh, one can dream...
Being able to manually adjust my focus on and interest in what I'm doing.
Not require sleep, ever, with no ill effects (fatigue, mental issues, shortened lifespan, etc).
So much time is wasted sleeping. I have too much shit to do! It's 2am because I was up getting some code working for another team at work, and we just moved, so I have tons of unpacking to do!
Control my apettite at will would be nice.
Someone once mentioned slowing time for like 2 seconds as a terrible super power, but as a skateboarder, I think this would be amazing.
Zoom with my eyes! I love birding, having prismatic eyes would be neat.
I want an audibe achievment fanfare everytime something i do goes according to plan.
To be able to stockpile time up to 24 hours. For example, if I'm running late on a project, I can dip into a time stockpile for 8 hours to get it done. At a later time I can then lose 8 hours from my time
With the example given, I feel like my go-to super power would still be applicable here:
Whatever I draw, I can make real. The first thing I'd draw is a pill that allows me to draw better.
The ability to know exactly the right thing to say at any given time. Because I often do the opposite right now.
Superhuman patience.
Maxed out luck stat
I don't want to know something would go well, I want to be surprised when something goes well
That I could tell someone to stop doing something and they'd actually listen and stop.
Every morning when I wake up my clothes and dishes from yesterday are cleaned and put away
- never be bored.
- fall asleep instantly.
- pee and poop teleported straight into the toilet.
- grow fingernails back quickly.
- know how to do anything, but lose all memory of the thing when trying to do it, tell anyone, or record it.
- ability to shapeshift, but your bones and muscles are going to hurt like hell. You think breaking a bone is bad? Try having all the bones in your face rearrange themselves.
Not have a panic attack when someone is mildly displeased with me
The ability to know if a fruit is going to taste good just by holding it. Perhaps being able to experience the taste of it (when it ripens) by holding it. Perhaps also being able to tell peak ripeness. But that may be op. Iβd settle for the first part.
