3 & 4 for sure. Idgaf about most of the rest of em

[–] Kerrigor@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

1 and 7

Could be a god in an isolated culture

[–] TheDankHold@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

If you pick 3 then that means you should be able to accomplish 1 with your immense talent

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

6 adds a third to your life if you consider people sleep 8 of the 24 hours in a day.

I would go with 3 and 4 probably.

[–] XanXic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If you age while you sleep though you loose like a third of your life. Like if it pauses you as well how would you ever wake up? You'd like grow a year older every 8 months.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So 8 is like a one time feeling of love? That sure beats telekinesis

[–] Kleysley@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Imagine how much you would be able to mess with people if you had telekinesis.

[–] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

1+3

I assume that being omnilingual means the perfect ability to verbally communicate.

With unlimited learning potential I can do whatever I want. Perfect health can follow easily because apparently getting fit and exercising properly is partly a skill, and frankly I don't want to feel entitled to my own health.

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Does "omnilingual" include knowledge over unattested languages, like Proto-Sino-Tibetan and Proto-Indo-European? If yes I'm picking it, and I'm revolutionising Historical Linguistics. (And getting rid of that bloody *e o ē ō vowel system.)

Plus #4.

[–] raspberry_confetti@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Omnilingual and perfect health. Boom. Next question.

[–] Simbomba@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

6 would be so funny Ever drank to much and wasted yourself to the point where you are unconscious? Your friends won't know You just stand up like nothing happened So 1 and 6 obvious call

[–] incognito_15@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Virgo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

2 can cover 1 if the language isn’t already dead

[–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] florge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

4 is a no brainer and 7 would be cool.

[–] WEAPONX@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

4 and 6. I could wear myself out and recover several times a day, no need to take it easy. More time for study, housework etc.

[–] Grimfelion@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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…

[–] YourFavouriteNPC@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

4 and 1. 4 because of obvious reasons, and 1 because it's would be the easiest to monetize efficiently.

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

So #8 tastes like pussy?

[–] MythicWolf@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

3 and 4 are thé likeliest to result in me essentially becoming immortal. Instantly talented at science I could easily turn that good health into lasting well beyond the normal lifespan of earth. Instantly skilled at making the right financial connections to finance it all.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Omnilingual + perfect health, easily.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago
[–] schwimmbux@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I think its gonna be 1 and 4 for men

[–] Syudagye@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

6 and 7 for me thx
