Superpowers are pointless ~ discuss

The whole issue of whether to have a THIRD cup of coffee in the morning or whether to shift to drinking water.

I have two extra large mostly every day then I switch to green tea and try to get at least 5 or 6 bottles of water in me. I am probably not the person to give advice on that!....>LOL<....

I always wanted to be able to fly. I suspect, however, If I ever acquired such a superpower I would very quickly come a cropper, as I have truly dreadful orientation skills. (Walking along the high street, for example, I will go into a shop and when I come out again will forget which direction I was walking and go back the way I came).

I'd be an accident waiting to happen.

A bad sense of direction, I have the same thing, can go into a parking lot come out and turn the wrong way. Then I have to take the scenic tour to where I was going.

As a result of a prank-gone-wrong involving a metal dildo from continental Europe being plugged into a socket with UK voltage, the fillings in my teeth were magnetized and, as a result, I only have a problem with compass directions when I am in close proximity to the North Pole.

I do not consider this to be a superpower.

It was just one of those things.

Should I ask what you were doing with a metal dildo?....LOL....

No. Because me not saying so was a fundamental element of the humour.

Whoosh.

This is another superpower which will kill you because if you fly anything more than a few hundred feet above the Earth you will die of hypothermia.

You're right it went over my head!

My ability to say stuff that goes over your head is not a superpower.

It's just one of those things.

I am probably not the only one but the only one that admits it.

I am sure it had something sexual to do with it though!

Any chance of people staying on topic in this thread and the others instead of wrecking every one?

Ok, we should get back to what superpower you would like to have?

Yesterday my missus wanted to discuss mutual superpowers. She said that if she had a superpower it would be the ability to converse with all animals. I contended that all superpowers were pointless because they allowed the owner to access a existential dynamic whereby life would be massively impinged or even extinguished.

Huh?

Nope. Not the question.
