Alcohol is addicted to me.

I mean, in a way, it can't quit you...

Partial disability from a car breaking my neck and back, causing issues with posture :: I have super human strength and endurance I use to fuck up cars for fun

Ah takes me back so many years!

The game is "Street Fighter II", in case you have a senior moment like I did.

[–] AtariDump 6 points 1 year ago

You’re not fighting E. Honda, you’re fighting A Honda.

It’s all in the packet.

My greatest strength is already also my greatest weakness: hyper focus from ADHD.

[–] Limeey 28 points 1 year ago

I’m now on time. People notice my punctuality, no one actually cares.

[–] theywilleatthestars 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My greatest weakness is my passivity and inability to make decisions so honestly I have no idea.

[–] Wild_Mastic 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You would become an incredible and charismatic leader, always capable of picking the right choice and carrying everyone forward.

You now have the ability and drive to always make decisions. Are they good ones? Who knows but they are decisions

Now I am immortal god.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A lot of people read this as "your greatest weakness is now gone" which makes sense given the video game slider analogy

Meanwhile I'm here like "how do I somehow, hilariously, become unstoppable by means of procrastinating everything"?

But I did think of it: significantly extend my lifespan by procrastinating dying :]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that's even slightly productive.

The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you've been putting off. Constantly.

Not a boon, but a curse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

thanks i'm pretty sure you just gave my assigned personal hell demon ideas 💀

[–] Pratai 2 points 1 year ago

Nine times out of ten, when a question is asked on the internet- it gets taken out of contexts so the people answering can platform whatever dumb shit they feel they need to say.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m a jack of all trades, master of none:m; so I’ll be a virtuoso of one thing.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Jack of all trade isn't a weakness.

-Sincerely, a jack of all trade.

Having my head chopped off now makes me stronger and more alive.

I am procrastinate and don't fully commit to things: I am well planned and finish everything I lay my hands on.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm very forgetful, so I guess in this scenario I have an eidetic memory. I become one of those weird guys who wins every game show due to my fantastic recall of everything I've ever read, seen or heard.

[–] CriticalMiss 10 points 1 year ago

I am happy and enjoy every moment of life.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I guess my head becomes invincible and nothing can hurt it and I feel no pain in my head, ever?

[–] UnderBoob 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna be social and charismatic af

[–] TonyOstrich 4 points 1 year ago

I have always said if I could re-roll my stats I would trade whatever amount of intelligence I supposedly have to be dumb as a box of fucking rocks with a ludicrous amount of charisma.

[–] delta 7 points 1 year ago

i can walk again :)

[–] NorthWestWind 7 points 1 year ago

I break everything I touch -> I fix everything I touch

The other day I saw the clock in the bathroom stop working. I swapped the batteries and it stopped working entirely.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm undepressable and I don't have ADHD anymore

[–] 32b99410_da5b 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All those walls and furnitures will miss you ricocheting off them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CAMERAS

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My gremlins that used to crawl over every inch of my home taking things apart, leaving things in senseless places, and constantly asking for food, a listening ear and a hug - are now helping me out around the house, listening when I need another perspective and generally helping keep me out of trouble.

TL;DR - Just parenthood, if all goes to plan...

I become capable of doing everything I want to, when I want to do it, instead of overthinking and second guessing myself.

I then work my way up to becoming an uploaded intelligence and abolishing capitalism. /s

[–] Gamoc 4 points 1 year ago

The world is invaded by day walker vampires somehow. Most of the human population is dead or turned, those remaining live under a cloud of distrust and paranoia - anyone could be a vampire. even the people you know could've been turned since you last saw them.

I don't notice. Because of social anxiety, I stayed indoors.

God I need this one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My love care and empathy for other people has made me the most lovable woman in my country and the most suitable spokesperson for humankind

Reality: I dont like people and my interactions with them , especially when I was young (partys.and stuff) only bolstered that feeling

[–] TheDoctorDonna 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like I'm reading a description of myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

maybe i shouldn't have tried to hard to "fit in" and be a socialite back i the day, maybe i wouldnt have such a big dislike of people as i have today

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well, now that I don't absolutely suck at talking to strangers and don't fumble my words, my life just got a lot easier.

[–] RBWells 3 points 1 year ago

Not my weakness becoming a strength, but going away and now I am a different person, my inverse? But my strengths do not become weaknesses?

Disorganization is my bane, and a complete inability to multitask, so I guess I would either be obsessive/compulsive or would be able to be an executive assistant or politician.

"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 1 year ago

I can never be angry. Hmm guess I would change my career to be some guy who teaches seminars or does anger management sessions. Or maybe IT for the DMV.

[–] Clbull 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I go from being a socially awkward and unattractive virgin to suddenly being able to pull multiple women in a night.
