How do people find out their lame abilities, are they just born knowing they can do X thing?

OK I'm about to just fall asleep at my desk so I'm going to have to sleep now and come back to this tomorrow. (Martman is next on the list) My cat is complaining that it's bed time and I'm not there.

Before I go to bed, within the actual comic world build people generally find out their abilities during puberty, lame or not. For really obscure abilities some people might never find out they have them until much later in life. So in my case I might know I'm doing something to the milk when I smalk it, but no idea what without experimenting with said altered milk.

Of course, in such a world the ability to detect and determine special abilities would be an uncommon but still genuinely ability in itself, but unless someone has a user name that really lends itself to analysis we probably won't see it in this thread.

In comparison, Zeluth's ability to detect Z's and create them and use Undo features on computers with their mind would be something they could figure out pretty quickly. Anyone with actual super powers figures out they exist pretty quickly as well.

Thanks that makes sense. I guess I was just imagining someone with some really obscure power just trying EVERYTHING and failing to discover their power. I dunno if you ever go to baseball games, but sometimes they put up these really niche stats up on the board (slugging percentage is .650 on Home games during the daytime!) and I was just thinking if someone's power was like eating ceramic on wednesdays in Portland it'd be ridiculous

Meme Poker Party (I'm so sorry but I rolled a 1 out of 100 so your power is really going to suck) your power is...

DE-MAMMIFICATION! You have the power to restore the mammary glands of cartoon characters to their natural form. This primarily only impacts media since there aren't any actual lizard tits in the wild, with the exception of people with breast implants.
- You can remove mammary glands from reptilian characters!
- You can reduce the mammary glands in mammals to being non-existent unless they are nursing!
- You can remove breast implants!
- Furries hate you!
- People who like boobs also hate you!

This power pretty much well only has evil application.

I'm sorry.

- Your power is of Super rank, which means you can make your foes poo poo themselves to death!
- With enough practice you can eventually figure out how to make a target full-body prolapse!
- You are inevitably but silently blamed for any bout of diarrhea by anyone who knows you.
- If you are feeling especially cruel you can reverse the making GBS threads process. This takes a lot of effort.

That's slightly disappointing. I was sorta hoping it'd just be like those hearing tests they had in grade school, and once a year there'd be a parade of tragically disappointed schoolchildren.

- You have the ability to delay anything event that has begun in motion to not complete until 17 years later, once per event.
- Your ability takes 17 years to recharge after use.

WARNING: Do not attempt to prolong an orgasm for 17 years! You will die of dehydration and a heart attack!
- No seriously don't, I'm pretty sure it would stop being fun after five minutes.
- Yes you can probably give yourself an extra 17 years to live.

CORRECT POSTURE!
- You can automatically correct your posture at any time!
- You can correct the postures of others! This lasts 30 min to 3 hours, depending on how determined they are to slouch.
- You can also fix several spine disorders! There will be momentary extreme discomfort while your force their spine and accompanying nerves into the proper calibration but after that they're 100%!
- It's recommended that in cases of spinal correction a local anesthetic is administered and also wear ear protection. You won't damage your hearing but the sound of spinal recalibration sounds really awful.

It's a good thing you feel that way Play, because the power table roll was awful and your power is...

INFECTIOUS AND TOXIC LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE!
- You have the power to have LOVE and ACCEPTANCE, but this also transforms you into a BRONY while active!
- Symptoms last 1 to 2 weeks depending on your health and immunity!
- Your LOVE and ACCEPTANCE is INFECTIOUS in the same way the FLU is, causing others to turn into bronies!
