It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.

But when you wake up, you’re in a random spot in the wilderness. Every time.

Honestly, still well worth it. And with pre-check it’s even faster.

Random place WITHOUT obstacle detection or height limit makes this risssky… 😆

The odds of you NOT ending up dangerously high above the ground or embedded IN the ground are… low.

I think the odds of ending up within sight of the earth are basically 0. The universe is a big place.

Depends on the range. If 10 feet, you’d survive most falls, but still bury yourself a portion of the time. 100 feet, probably dead. 200 thousand miles? Space sucks without an appropriate suit.

Please elaborate, because there’s a at least a couple different things you could be referring to, and I’d rather not write something out on the wrong topic :)

When I first started playing Ragnarok Online, there was this one item, aí believe it was something like bat wings, that was really valuable and when you used you would teleport to a random place in the same map/sections. I thought it was a shit item, but soon enough I understood that its power was to run away from problems when you are low on health.
So I think it still is a good power.

But you cannot tie knots anymore. Even worse - every knot you touch magically slips open. Be careful not to trip over your shoelaces!

You can’t use anything but maximum super strength, all the time.

… that then gets applied to everyone within 100 metres of you on top of yourself.

It gives one month of bad luck for each time used. If the power is activated to help others without benefit for yourself, then it’s sloppy good luck instead. You are fortunate in a tragic way.
The timer and type is reset each time power manifested

you can only speak to them in languages they don’t understand.
Every time you switch you have to peel off a layer of dead skin line a cocoon.

Damn that’s harsh. I didn’t expect that, it seems you have some great imagination.
- 5 months
Haha imagine trying to explain that to people.
“I have a superpower, I can speak to animals they just can’t speak back”
“But everyone has that superpower, I can do that too”
“Yeh but I’m actually really talking to them, like in their language that they can understand”
“How do you know?”
“…”
- 5 months
I mean, you can ask an animal to do some arbitrary action specified by the other person, and then the animal (hopefully) does it. This side effect isn’t great, but it definitely still leaves some real usefulness.
Telling my dog as I go to the garage, “I’ll be back in literally one minute.” and being understood would rock.
- 5 months
But the thing is, if they do the thing you asked in a way where it’s noticeable that they only did it because you asked, then they are signalling to you that they understood, which is a form of communication and the word used was “communicate” with animals.
- 5 months
First, the use of “communicate” in the original superpower description is presumably referring to communication that couldn’t happen without the power - and the side effect uses the same term. As it stands, my dog can tell me she understands I intend to walk her by jumping off the back of the couch and being excited at the door.
So if the superpower only refers to novel communication, I’d interpret that to mean anything more than I could reasonably communicate to my dog, and more than she could communicate to me (confirmation of understanding).
If the side effect, despite using the same verb, actually renders animals LESS able to communicate with me than they already can, that seems an especially uncharitable interpretation.
Alternatively, I can ask the animal to wait until I was out of the room before performing the action for the third party. At that point, only that third party would end up communicating having seen the comprehension/performance.

Well thought out lol. You should get a genie, I think you’ll be prepared.
- 5 months
I appreciate the sentiment, but probably not. The genie would just scoff af my argument and say nothing was guaranteed to be “fair” about the situation. My only saving grace in talking about it here is that fellow humans are more likely to share a similar base point for reasoning.

Ability to control every atom in the surrounding area of approx 1 km.
- festus@lemmy.caEnglish5 months
1 at a time wouldn’t get you a noticeable amount of energy for a bomb (stuff is radioactively decaying around you already right now). A scientist might make some use of it, but with control of only 1 atom at a time they’ll struggle to build really any molecule as I imagine most intermediate molecules would break apart as soon as you “let go” to grab the next atom.
- 5 months
Depends on what “time” is in case of one at a time. Is it plank time, or is it as fast as I can think the command.
Even if nothing can be achieved by controlling it, just being able to feel/see the atoms means I can figure things out as a scientist. Finding how atoms are arranged into molecules, proteins etc are super helpful
- festus@lemmy.caEnglish5 months
I assumed as fast as you can think the command for each one.
I agree with feeling being useful for feeling around; I’m happy with the power having some value.
- 5 months
I had an idea I wonder if the energy thing can be salvaged. Like uranium to lead happens naturally and the energy is too little from a single atom. But we don’t have to do things naturally. If I’m controlling the atom itself, maybe I can just split all protons and neutrons from the uranium at once, then I have a bunch of free particles that can go collide with other atoms and start a chain reaction.
I think most powers, even with limitations, probably is going to be useful once we know the clear limits. Maybe not the one that need so much energy and the results are random so you can fail and not be able to try again.

One day, your luck will reverse, and you know you have hit your halfway point. Before, you survived everything because of your good luck. Now, survival is a curse you cannot escape until your appointed time.

Reminded me of this movie.
