You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.
This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.
“But I’m straight”
“So is spaghetti… Until it gets wet.”
“Okay but that’s a bad analogy because I just turn ten stories tall when I get wet.”
I love to swim and the water one sounds really inconvenient. I choose glow! You would never really be afraid of the dark- like your own personal night light. Maybe i could get a job doing those nighttime ghost tours.
Would these powers be supernatural, or bound by the laws of physics? Like, does glowing require extra calories? And does my electrolyte balance go out of whack when I’m in water?
Magical. You are perfectly healthy in each case
Can I swim faster when I’m huge?
I guess so
Then yeah, I’ll take that one. Olympic medals here I come! Imagine the stroke a 20 foot man could take. Michael Phelps would be jealous.
I can imagine glowing in the dark would be both a blessing and a curse depending on the circumstances. If you’re lost in a cave that could be lifesaving. Trying to sleep in the dark though? That’s gonna be tough haha. I think I’d still choose to glow in the dark though so I could fuel sweet rave parties
My wife says the same thing about sleeping with a light on, I just close my eyes and don’t see anything i must have thick eyelids
Yea but you’re eyes would glow…the way I see it, this question is, “would you become an insomniac or explode when drinking water”
you guys are smoking some strong stuff lol
Fun fact, we already glow in the dark, just not in a way we can see.
Bigger when wet would be kinda neat, but if it’s based off of toy dinosaurs then the glow doesn’t last all night. So I can take the glow and use it for sick pranks and cosplays or whatever. Be like alien Mr Burns.
What
I will bathe in the ocean and at long last fulfill my ambition of punching mother gia in the face.
I guess the grow bigger in the water thing because I can’t imagine how hard it would be to fall asleep if I’m glowing.
is this ‘glow in the dark’ like i’m radioactive and constantly glow a little bit, or is this ‘glow in the dark’ like i absorb a little bit of light and slowly re-emit it, so if i wait long enough in darkness i’ll stop glowing?
You constantly glow with a dim yellow-green light, just bright enough to read in
Is it only my skin or, like, the inside of my eyelids too?
Just the outside of your body
Would the insides of my eyelids glow? Cause fuck that if that’s the case.
No, only the outside of your body
The second sounds like it has far more room for stupid bullshit, so that one
Glow in the dark, since i do lap swimming for exercise and the other option would rule that out.
Do you get bigger by absorbing air (thereby increasing your buoyancy) or by absorbing water (with the opposite effect)?
By absorbing water
Do I feel bloated when I take on all this water weight?
you would sink though.
How bright would I glow? Enough to read by?
Yeah, like a dim yellowish greenish light that you can just about read by
My eyesight’s pretty weak, so I’m not sure that would do it… but on the other hand I could navigate the house at night without bumping my shins on furniture. I think that’s enough to sell me on glowing.
You’d have moths flocking to you at night, though, which might be awkward.
That would be a definite minus.
It might be harder to navigate. Looking past your own glowing eye sockets could make your eyes adjust to the closer, brighter light and leave you night blind
