You can choose 1 superpower, but the first reply is the side effect. What superpower would you choose?

Teleportation!
-
But you have to go through TSA every time
-
😂 I'm on the shitter at work damn you, can't be laughing out loud!
-
Honestly, still well worth it. And with pre-check it’s even faster.
-
Easy there Hitler 🤣🤣🤣
-
-
You can only teleport to random places
-
Random place WITHOUT obstacle detection or height limit makes this risssky.. 😆
-
When I first started playing Ragnarok Online, there was this one item, aí believe it was something like bat wings, that was really valuable and when you used you would teleport to a random place in the same map/sections. I thought it was a shit item, but soon enough I understood that its power was to run away from problems when you are low on health.
So I think it still is a good power.

I'll stick with the strongest superpower of them all, I am Cables Never Tangle Man!
-
Your cables break every 3 days
-
Every time you get an error it is unknown error
-
The power to reply to my own comment.
-
but you have multiple personality disorder
-
You become god.
(Not oc, this is a known joke)
-
But you will only reply as your worst enemy would do.
-
-
Manifest any superpower at will
-
... that then gets applied to everyone within 100 metres of you on top of yourself.
-
Lol, I'd still take it. All I can say is the people flying with me better keep close. Ditto the ones breathing under water
-
-
It gives one month of bad luck for each time used. If the power is activated to help others without benefit for yourself, then it’s sloppy good luck instead. You are fortunate in a tragic way.
The timer and type is reset each time power manifested
-
-
Master poet level fluency in all languages
-
You can now hardly remember anything else (as happened to me, my memory is full of Chinese vocab with no space for anything else).
-
Terribly loud non-stop belching
-
So no new drawbacks, then? Sweet!
-
-
You are now blind and deaf like Helen Keller. Good luck, she figured it out, you’ll be fine.
-
-
Switch sexes any time I prefer
-
... provided you are playing Uno and have a reverse card.
-
The power to talk to women without staring at their feet.
-
Instead you cannot stop staring at their boobs. And yes, that includes your family, bosses and so on.
-
-
you can only speak to them in languages they don’t understand.
-
-
X ray vision
-
Everyone in your line of sight gets the full radioactive dosage
-
It cannot be regulated
-
Ha! So Congress can't stop me!
-
-
-
Shapeshifting to any other human or humanoid body
-
But you can only do so by singing, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," as loudly as you can.
-
But you also shift into that humans or humanoids personality
-
-
Can communicate with any animal
-
But they can't communicate with you
-
Haha imagine trying to explain that to people.
"I have a superpower, I can speak to animals they just can't speak back"
"But everyone has that superpower, I can do that too"
"Yeh but I'm actually really talking to them, like in their language that they can understand"
"How do you know?"
"..."
-
Oh damn. You got me bad on that one.
-
-
-
Super good luck ala Domino of the X-Men.
-
It's good luck for the first half of your life, then its bad luck the second half
-
One day, your luck will reverse, and you know you have hit your halfway point. Before, you survived everything because of your good luck. Now, survival is a curse you cannot escape until your appointed time.
-
That's a good answer.
Reminded me of this movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397078/
Never saw it myself, just remembered the concept and searched
-
-
-
True Omnipotence
(Also read/listen to Worm
-
But of an unrelated universe...so schizophrenia with delusions of grandure lol
-
But only over dial-up.
-
You have no choice but to see everything, wether you want to or not.
-
-
Being able to hear from afar
-
But only bad music.
-
-
Invisibility.
-
You emit an unmaskable and extremely noticeable odour whenever invisible.
-
That's fine. That'll just mean I'm a airborne disease since my invisibility would be infinite.
-
I don’t know who you’re responding to, but it sure is smelly over here.
-
-
-
I can teleport instantly to any location I have previously visited.
-
But each location has a specific song you must play on an Ocarina....
-
You don't get to choose the location, it's just a random place you've been before.
-
-
Immunity from all replies to this post.
-
But you are incredibly smart. BOOM GOTEM.
-
You end up with no superpowers at all
-
Hmm, but are they immune to this restriction?
-
-
-
Reading minds
-
But you have to start at the beginning.
-
You have no inhibitive filter, and compulsively blurt out whatever you’re thinking, including whatever the person is thinking when you’re reading their mind.
-
-
The ability to change my own superpower.
-
Uncontrollable and overwhelming diarrhea whenever you use any of the chosen superpowers, which is immune to any kinds of “and I’m immune to the side effect” types of loophole powers.
-
This one doesn't really need a monkey's paw curse since, as written, I'd argue you could only change it once anyway, then you'd be stuck with that power.
-
-
Being a cat
-
You make noise every time you walk
-
Ok, it's basically like my cat.
-
-
-
Cryokinesis
-
But you can only use it at 0°N 0°E
-
This looks like it can counter most powers except ones having effects in far away places
-
-
But you cannot defy the laws of thermodynamics, so if you make anything colder, you need to absorb the energy to do so and vice versa. First time using this power and you accidentally made something too cold? Sounds like you just burned to death.
-
Actually seems like a cool power to regulate your body temperature. You could probably weather some pretty extreme conditions if you were careful about not killing yourself with your untested powers.
-
-
But you heat the random object in 100 metres from you
-
-
crab claw
-
Only when jorkin it
-
-
I guess I choose Denmark or maybe Portugal. Having USA and Russia being superpowers has been real shit.
-
The United States of America after the Cold War.
-
But you live in Afghanistan
-
-
Magically summon pizza whenever I want
-
but only anchovy and pineapple pizza
-
-
The ability to redo any side effect into any effect I want at will.
-
But what you want is to undo the redo of the side effect, thus creating Hubert's Paradox.
-
In the eyes of the universe, everything is simply an effect. There are no side-effects, so nothing you can redo despite having that ability.
-
you mean as a side effect in the eyes of the universe, everything is simply an effect. There are no side-effects, so nothing you can redo despite having that ability.
-
-
Fall asleep at any time and place by will
It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.
I either wake up rested or not my problem anymore.
But when you wake up, you're in a random spot in the wilderness. Every time.
You wake up with a severe headache everytime.
This is apparently my superpower and side effect combo.
