Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.
Just put this fish in your ear.
You’re now a protocol droid.
Ok I think - except that I am absolute shit at protocol so now I’m gonna get someone killed.
Ability to complete a household project with only 1 trip to the hardware store.
Impossible… that would break some fundamental law of physics or something
This skill can be learned once you defeat the final boss of Home Projects https://youtu.be/vu2j62M-ndc?si=MhMNYjzao206eOj_
When I was driving instacart between jobs or what not I had one for just that. Pick up 4 items from Lowes. Called them and she said they just left there and weren’t going back, haha
I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.
What if that just drives you insane due to the problem described by Gödel’s incompleteness theorem? Maybe you’d become susceptible to someone telling you “this statement is false”.
Ideally, I wouldn’t have to see the proofs for everything, just recognize the observable math.
The problem with the “This statement is false” could simply be coupled by something akin to imaginary numbers. Paradoxes can be described mathematically without being solvable.
Oh, brother, no. Godel’s incompleteness theorem is a problem much bigger than imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers are just something we initially didn’t account for but we can (and did) fix. Godel’s theorem means everything may just be broken and we just don’t know.
I’ll do the same for physics. Together we shall reign.
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
And when you discover that free will is an illusion because of deterministic patterns, what will you do then?
Whatever it is physics demands they do, obviously.
Honestly finding out the lack of free will exists would be the most liberating thing ever. I could just let autopilot take its course.
But also the ability to turn it off at will. Otherwise life will become incredibly tedious.
I’d upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.
This is a good one. I interact with a lot of East and South Asians in my spare time, and I would love to speak all of their languages. Especially since their English is not the best (in my circle, that is).
Math, so so much math…
Whatever is fun and makes money. Tired of being bored and broke all the time.
One way is making raytracing shaders for older games. I recall one korean dude whose patreon was raking in ~50k dollars a month, several of his releases/posts were about adding raytracing to Fallout 4
Thanks! Sounds like a significant learning curve.
Not that I’m opposed. Currently reskilling myself from bored accountant to hopefully some sort of IT wizard. Just learning everything I can get my hands on and doing projects like building / maintaining a home server, building a PC, switched to Linux last year, and coding some small projects in Python.
I just feel like I’m learning such basic things and won’t be able to actually make money with any of this for years. It’s frustrating lol
25 years in IT here: you’re on the right track. Tablet generation has really caused a brain drain.
I think I’m going to get my nieces and nephews some pi5 desktops, I can’t let them become teenagers without seeing a console.
I too wouldn’t mind uploading poll dancing abilities. I feel like that would help lose weight and get great core strength so quickly.
The crazy thing is that you can literally just do this by studying engineering for a few years. It’s not that hard, it just takes some work.
If I could have something magical: I’d like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through
If it’s gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what’s going on bc I forget shit, but it’s not forgotten I just didn’t remember that memory at the right time even though I had it…
Talking to people hasn’t been going well lately
Following your lead: mystical/magical healing abilities, for self and others. Mundane, photographic memory.
Speaking Korean, I live here for 4 years already and despite pushing moderatelly to learn it, I don’t speak it at all. Everything I learn I forget very fast again.
I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.
Guitar sounds fun
the ability to think calmly and rationally
I would use it as a Total Perspective Vortex and dump the scale of the universe into my mind.
Time travel
You’d need both time travel and teleportation, or else you’ll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn’t a stationary object
Time (and relative dimension in space) travel
That entirely depends on what is being done when traveling in time. Is it localized, regional or defined at the time the lower is used. Does it effect the world around you or is it you in the world that is manipulated.
Depends if it’s a monkeys paw power or a self defined ability
This assumes an absolute reference frame, which does not exist in this universe.
Time travel already is teleportation.
Actually, teleportation would be more powerful than time travel, since you can travel through different times as well with teleportation as an ability, but you can only teleport to a different time with time travel.
Nothing is or everything is. There is no absolute motion.
Yes there is, you just can’t measure it.
it’s all relative. definitively relative.
that said, if you go to the matrix and ask for the power, it’s not liable to give you half-assed solutions that don’t take the details into account. Therefore it would already take into account the relative displacement and correct accordingly.
Probably the ability to not be an unbalanced idiot 24/7. I literally fell up the stairs twice this week. There are few people who are less scatter-brained than me.
Have you tried to engage your core more? edit: Sorry in advance for the reddit link, but here you go https://old.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1h4j9sl/tifu_by_never_using_my_core_muscles_for_thirty/
I appreciate the concern, but my problem is more on my ability to concentrate on what’s in front of me. I’ll be walking around or climbing up stairs while my brain is in la la land thinking about something else. That’s normally how I end up clutzing out.
The logic in your post is sound though, I never did think about my core.
But I do work out and I do core workouts alongside arm day and leg day. If anything my core is the thing I’m strongest in.
Have you been assessed for add/adhd
I’ve been diagnosed since I was 7 lol. Glad you noticed.
Ah damn well
I hope something new comes up about it. Good luck :c
It doesn’t cause me problems. I get by just fine.
Here’s a fun fact for you: ADD is not an official classification anymore.
You’re either ADHD Hyperactive or ADHD inattentive. I’m diagnosed with the latter.
Unlimited energy reserves would be nice. If I had half the energy I had when I was 16 I’d be fucking golden
