I can slap people over TCP/IP

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Doing so causes your internet service to cut out for several hours.

I’d still use it occasionally.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I'd still use it all the time. Losing internet for a while sucks, but letting someone you'll never meet express their wrong opinions to equally unimportant strangers on a fake place for fake internet points without consequences??????????

Slap people wirelessly, and get a break from the internet to cool off? sign me up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Still worth it

Being the first known human to fully interface with a machine also leads to the discovery of cross-platform illnesses.

You are the first human to experience the effects of a backdoor trojan firsthand.

It only works on depressed people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I'm sooooo ok with this. Being able to understand where their depression was and able to communicate perfectly how to shift their perspective would give me a purpose that would kill my depression and realign my perspective.

Become the best psychiatrist for depressed people ever

Ads are blocked for me in real life. Billboards, posters, tv-commercials, all gone!

You start bumping into invisible billboards all the time.

You realize you are living in North Korea.

I can jump 10x my own height and can stick to walls

Walking on the ground is always slippery

All my bodily functions smells nice, sort of perfume-like.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your perfume-like scent acts as a pheromone to all insects in your proximity, leading to an endless swarm everywhere you go

He brings his new family

I can materialize any technology I want, whether it is possible or not.

Does obtaining the financial security of the average adult American in the 1980s count as a superpower? Home ownership on near-minimum wage does seem pretty fantastical.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But you become extremely jaded and disappointed in anyone younger than yourself, overcome with än irredeemable urge to tell people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps
