Why did you post it if you disprove its uselessness in the exact same post?

The ability to telekinetically move water down your throat, but only if it's already in your mouth.

The ability to travel one second into the future.


How to win: if your ability to travel one second into the future takes less than 1 second to activate and manifest, then by using this repeatedly you would eventually gain on yourself and move a substantial amount forward ("substantial" meaning a few minutes at most, unless you really went at it).

You could then skip through the commercials on TV.


Depends if you're staying locked spacially when doing so and bodaciously advancing time while you stay still. If so, then if your ability is faster there's going to be a severe displacement of where the Earth was and where you're either suffocating out by Pluto or smeared across the neighborhood.

Well, this is true of all displacement powers (actual time travel, Nightcrawler-esque teleportation, etc.). I kind of assumed it was a given that you retain your relative position but not your absolute position. But I guess in dealing with useless powers, that might not be a given, and then you would have a problem.

The power to make packs of gum appear out of mid-air. High school kids need gum more than crackheads need cocaine.

This could be useful. Let's say you're choking and can't manually swallow anything to help wash it down. You could use the force of the water to clear the blockage.


The ability to give the perfect handshake, but only if you remove your hands first.

This thread hasn't been derailed at all...

The ability to become invisible, but only when no one is looking. (hee hee)

The ability to restart a day, sort of like Groundhog Day but without remembering the previous iterations.

You still wouldn't be seen by anyone actually in the store in your proximity.

The ability to breathe liquid/solid oxygen.
No resistance to low temperatures, however.

The invisibility thing is actually for sneaking into evil lairs with camera defense systems, geez.

The ability to know the absolute, objective truth in any philosophical matter, but not to effectively sway others' views.

Cassipopeia suffered from that, in the Trojan War. She told the Trojans that there Greek men in that horse, but noooo.. they wouldnt listen. Just because shes a prophet and everything. :P Guess she sure showed them when Troy fell. XD

Assuming you still had the persuasive powers of the average person, with enough thinking you could at least put together a really strong argument.

You might not convince everyone, but you could become the next Descartes and write all your findings down for future generations.

Wasn't this a thing in some sci-fi movie? There was a mouse that was taught to breath liquid oxygen (or some substance that was liquid, but contained a high enough concentration of oxygen to be breathable without being absurdly cold). And the human guy saw the mouse do it, and did the same thing later, and it saved his life from some problem that I don't remember.

Something about being in space. I don't know, I saw it a long time ago.

Power: the power to see ghosts, but not any of the material world around you, or the people in it.
