      I feel like those two are absolutely great for life, right? I’d take those over telekinesis any day. It’s the same genre as being happy to get socks for Christmas as an adult somehow.

      My thoughts as well. Telekinesis seems cool but 3 & 4 are a perfect combo to a great life.

      Yeah that was my thought too. For a second I was tempted with omnilingual, but then I realised that with natural skills I just learn whatever language I wanted with hardly any effort. Plus like, everything else.

      3 & 4 Gang! But seriously these two seems to heavily outweigh the others in combination. While not immediately OP the long term potential is pretty insane.

    3 and 4. Making great works of art would be easy peasy, then proceeding to be a couch potato while eating junk food and not having to worry at all about clogged arteries, diabetes, etc? Never having to worry about diseases? Count me the fuck in.

    4 and 5 for sure. 4 is essentially immortality to everything but instant kills. 5 means infinite money.

    2 and 7 for me. I feel like 2 covers 1 to some degree, and who hasn’t wanted to be telekinetic at some point in their life?

      2 definitely covers more learning than 3 does, I think. Talent doesn’t make up for practice, but recall feels like 90% of what practice is supposed to be doing. And it would make me a beast at my job, just never having to reference anything ever (quite literally over half of it is just referencing different passages of the same sources over and over).

      And yes, telekinesis too. It’s the biggest excuse I would have to start working out and never stop. From doing crimes to being able to play with the cat in a more convincing way without having to get up for the fourth time.

      Let’s do some fun math!

      If we assume you always have a dollar in your pocket and that it takes around 3 seconds to grab them from your pocket.

      For one year (8766 hours or 31,557,600 seconds) you will have 10,519,200 dollars. Assuming you don’t stop while eating for example and also you don’t sleep.

      Elon Musk’s net worth is around 250 billion dollars (250,000,000,000). You will need 23,766 years of non-stop pulling bills to reach him.

        Thats not how it was said. It said you had the exact change anytime. So If you buy something for 4 mill you get 4mill. If you buy sum for 1.59 you get that

      No; not infinite.

      Limitless yes, but it is limited by the fact that it only fills your pocket when you’re expected to pay for something. Therefore you’d be inconvenienced by anything that does not expect you to pay up front cash for a thing, and you’d need someone to tell you the exact amount you need to pay them to cause the pocket to generate the cash as well as the amount would be limited by the size of your pocket(s) and/or purse(s) for containing money.

      Despite that you could definitely live “comfortably”.

        ETA: My picks are 3 & 4.

        1. Open a new checking account with a debit card

        2. The account is always at a $0.01 balance

        3. Keep this card in its own specific pocket

        Now anytime you go to buy something, the exact amount will be deposited into the account and immediately withdrawn for said purchase.

        Congratulations, literally everything costs a single penny.

        Implement the selling of items, the transfers to alternate accounts, etc., and you can create infinite money.

      I know right? You show up and be like “One mansion, please” and the realtor says something like “sure, our cheapest one is $2M”.

      So you reach into your pocket and out comes the exact change of $2m! Bust is it

    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

      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.

      6 basically increases your lifespan by a 1/3. So if you would have normally lived to 75 you get to 100.

        Perfect health means you’ll be immortal. Combined with being talented you can do anything you want

            Yeah I agree that immortal probably isn’t accurate in my opinion. It depends on how liberal you interpret the term “healthy”. Is a stab wound bad health? Is decapitation bad health? I’d argue no, but there is a (weak imo) argument that it is.

              A stab wound on good health heals better than a stab wound on bad health. Any injuries short of death is still better in a healthy body. I would not want a scratch on a diabetic body. And even if immortality is not on the table, severe chronic illness makes aging disgraceful.

                I don’t disagree, but my point was a stab wound on a “healthy” versus “unhealthy” body is still a stab wound. If you’re able to be injured, the only way you’d be immortal is if you can regenerate from anything. That wasn’t part of the “perfect health”, so I’m assuming “perfect health” is not immortality like some of the others suggested.

        More than that. If time stops around you, you can sleep in every day. You’ll probably get more than 8 hours each night. Plus your stress will go down, and your health will go up. Both leading to a longer life. If you even used a small portion of your normal sleeping time toward physical activity, you could get very healthy.

    2 and 4.

    • 2 mostly covers 1 and partially covers 3.
    • 4 gives me a longer lifespan to do it, and ensures no health related interruptions.
    • 5 Is semi meh. Has the implication of infinite money but I doubt that’s the case.
    • 6 Is hard to pass up, as it kinda contends with 4 for time, but I could see it going terribly.
    • 7 is meh if it’s only as strong as I am.
    • Why would you need 8 if you have a partner? O.o

    3 and 6 - Be able to master something I enjoy (for me - writing, woodworking, math) and then make living doing I something I love instead of my soul sucking job I have now… and 6 - more time to do the things I love. Without the flaws inherent in eternal life…

    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.
