We've done plenty of lovely superpower threads in the past, but what about mediocre superpowers? Powers that could not save lives, make money, or get you laid, but would still be better to have than not have.

Examples:
Never forgetting where you put your keys. If they fell out and you didn't notice you still wouldn't know where they were.
Being able to turn your sense of hearing on and off at will.
Instantly knowing the optimal time to microwave something.

Think of your own! Feel free to draw it if you want!

Alright, I'll be the first to say it- the USSR. Patrice Lumumba University was open for how many decades? And can anyone name a decent place to get blintzes in Addis Ababa? Right. They almost got a good thing going on with Tetris and Rubik's Cube, but they kept imprisoning anyone who wrote books that got popular abroad and the fashion scene- simply dreadful!

Not to communicate with them. Just to talk to them. Like anyone could, if they wanted to look silly in the park.
