    Teleport. See the world, visit everywhere, without enduring planes,trains,cars , nipping home for a quick 15minute alone time and being able to sleep in my own bed every night.

    I want to know how and what to say to other people to convince them to do what I ask. So like not full manipulation or mind reading but like social engineering turned up to 100!

    To be able to talk to animals. Really just so I can talk to my dog who is losing the ability to walk, so me and her vet can help her; where it hurts, are the drugs helping. So I know exactly what she needs and where she wants to go when she’s barking at me for help getting up and walking.
    So I can explain to my boy dog why we don’t go on walks as often or as far, why he can’t rough house with her anymore.

    Shapeshifting has always sounded like it would be a trip. Teleportation or similar also sounds super fun, and could have actual practical applications.

    I guess you didn’t set a limit on how OP it could be, so I could just go for genie wish granting. Although, I can only imagine how zero challenge on literally any activity and an external world with no ontological momentum would fuck with my mental wellbeing.

    Not flying, super strength or laser vision. Too much like tools we already have.

    Teleportation. Most superpowers would be either useless on a day-to-day basis or - as another commenter suggested - would make you too inhuman to continue to have meaningful interpersonal relations with other normal humans.

    And it would allow you to have a croissant in Paris for breakfast, spend the morning strolling along a beach in the Caribbean, pop across to a great barbecue place in Texas for lunch, pass the afternoon exploring the ruins of Pompei before an evening meal of scallops in Hobart. Even just not worrying about the daily commute, always being able to 'port home to use your own toilet during the day, just mundane stuff like that would be grand.

    The strongest, perfect gravity control. Want to teleport, just bend time and space around you. Want to fly just adjust your gravitational pull. Want to destroy stuff, blackhole goes puff. Time travel, maybe possible aswell. That said it is the hardest to use by far and without perfect control, you will most likely kill yourself or all.

    If you were invisible, would food matter that was inside your body but not of your body be invisible, or would it appear to float in mid air? Also, at what point would it count as processed enough to be part of you and invisible? E.g. would elements of the blood be visible; what about fecal matter? Or is the cut-off when these things pass through the ring of your mouth and sphincter?
