cls: hvac supplier swore up and down that the replacement part was ready to pick up. get a call at 830 this morning from the hvac installer saying that the part is not actually here and we're getting jerked around

it has now been 34 days since we've had aircon, we've survived days where it was 88f/31c, but to have hope of an end taken from us like that was soul crushing

i would just say flight if asked - that's the best power.

If I'm allowed to cheese it a little bit, I would take telekinesis. Because then you also have the power of flight by moving yourself, you can create fire by telekinetically rubbing molecules together, you can breathe underwater by telekinetically bringing a bubble of air with you, you have what appears to be super strength and super speed, etc.

If I have to go with the surface level interpretation and telekinesis is just slowly floating rocks with your mind, I would take teleportation. Or just a doctor strange sling ring. That seems the most practical day to day

teleportation with all the physics bending sounds good. teleportation were if you gently caress up you end up inside a wall or spliced into another person because you occupied the same space seems bad.

teleportation with telefrag at the end if someone is in my way :twisted:

the obvious “best” one imo would be time travel or being able to rewind and redo stuff or something, but i think it would make you kinda burn out and get depressed somehow

the superpower i'd take is the "stop time for the world but not for me" one. just pause the world, take a nap, play a video game, read a book, then back to responsibility. want a vacation in the middle of some poo poo? boom done just go for a swim. want some money? bank vault is right there, just clean it out easy peasy.

i mean yes i'd end up dead of old age with a calendar-age of like 65 but :shrug:

i used to say telekinesis but i came to the realization i would just abuse it to the point of physically becoming baron harkonnen

super jumping, assuming it is not some BS contact self-telekinesis, is healthier
