A lot of people read this as "your greatest weakness is now gone" which makes sense given the video game slider analogy

Meanwhile I'm here like "how do I somehow, hilariously, become unstoppable by means of procrastinating everything"?

But I did think of it: significantly extend my lifespan by procrastinating dying :]

It's not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that's even slightly productive.

The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you've been putting off. Constantly.

Not a boon, but a curse.

thanks i'm pretty sure you just gave my assigned personal hell demon ideas 💀

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Nine times out of ten, when a question is asked on the internet- it gets taken out of contexts so the people answering can platform whatever dumb shit they feel they need to say.

Having my head chopped off now makes me stronger and more alive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Every head chopped would spawn three heads

My greatest strength is already also my greatest weakness: hyper focus from ADHD.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm undepressable and I don't have ADHD anymore

All those walls and furnitures will miss you ricocheting off them.

WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CAMERAS

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna be social and charismatic af

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I have always said if I could re-roll my stats I would trade whatever amount of intelligence I supposedly have to be dumb as a box of fucking rocks with a ludicrous amount of charisma.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

i can walk again :)

My gremlins that used to crawl over every inch of my home taking things apart, leaving things in senseless places, and constantly asking for food, a listening ear and a hug - are now helping me out around the house, listening when I need another perspective and generally helping keep me out of trouble.

TL;DR - Just parenthood, if all goes to plan...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Narrator: "It didn't go to plan."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I can never be angry. Hmm guess I would change my career to be some guy who teaches seminars or does anger management sessions. Or maybe IT for the DMV.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m a jack of all trades, master of none:m; so I’ll be a virtuoso of one thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Jack of all trade isn't a weakness.

-Sincerely, a jack of all trade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Now I am immortal god.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Not my weakness becoming a strength, but going away and now I am a different person, my inverse? But my strengths do not become weaknesses?

Disorganization is my bane, and a complete inability to multitask, so I guess I would either be obsessive/compulsive or would be able to be an executive assistant or politician.

I'm very forgetful, so I guess in this scenario I have an eidetic memory. I become one of those weird guys who wins every game show due to my fantastic recall of everything I've ever read, seen or heard.

I go from being a socially awkward and unattractive virgin to suddenly being able to pull multiple women in a night.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Pro Tip: Women dont typically respond well to being "pulled".

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

Ok, please do indulge me on this one, because this whole subject is an enigma to me and has been mentally eating at me over the years.

How do men and women meet in a nightclub and then end up having a one-night stand?

Part of the reason I don't like clubbing is that it triggers feelings of jealousy within me.

I have a friend, let's just call him Matt. Whenever I've been out with Matt, women have always thrown themselves at him whereas my experiences by comparison have led to nothing but rejection.

There is nothing particularly special about Matt. He's a year younger than me, looks about average for someone in their early thirties, yet has infinitely more rizz. I can't put my finger on it.

God I need this one.

Instead of being guilt-ridden and terrified of making mistakes, especially if they might cause harm to others, I get... antisocial personality disorder? Fuck.

I'm suddenly a prolific businesswoman and a CEO of my own corporation with millions of employees and I am thriving in life.

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

If this happened then everyone would be a CEO but where would the millions of workers be?

They are all CEOs now too.

Ask me about our plans for next week or what that person said at work last month! I now remember everything!!

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

I am procrastinate and don't fully commit to things: I am well planned and finish everything I lay my hands on.

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

Well, now that I don't absolutely suck at talking to strangers and don't fumble my words, my life just got a lot easier.

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

I become capable of doing everything I want to, when I want to do it, instead of overthinking and second guessing myself.

I then work my way up to becoming an uploaded intelligence and abolishing capitalism. /s

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

My love care and empathy for other people has made me the most lovable woman in my country and the most suitable spokesperson for humankind

Reality: I dont like people and my interactions with them , especially when I was young (partys.and stuff) only bolstered that feeling

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

I get rich.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

I'm not really sure what my biggest weakness is, but I'll just say its my crippling fear of asking people for stuff. So now, either people ask me for things, or whatever I ask other people to do is immediately done? More confusing than a strength I'd say.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Somehow, my indifference to heights means I control the known universe. Nobody, least of all me, knows why or how.
