If no one knows you're the best, that includes your partners. They'll just walk away thinking you're average.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They'd still have an amazing time, they'd just have no objective way of knowing that the acts that have been performed were world class.

Making people laugh. They'll keep thinking there's someone funnier but they'll be wrong.

Social engineering. Give everyone a sense of agency but make the world in my image.

Helping others to do their best, especially when it's something they are truly passionate about.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What if the thing they're passionate about is doing evil murders?

Hear that everybody? This guys an accessory to murder!

If any comment from this section was going to get me the "username checks out" I thought it would be the one I made for "Cheesy McSneezer, and the Cheesy McSneezer 7"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I hadn’t scrolled that far down yet lol

Being famous, in order to create a paradox.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't create a paradox. It just creates the same situation I've been thinking about for 30 years.

If I had any musical talant, I would be "Cheesy McSneezer" and my band would be "Cheesy McSneezer and the Cheesy McSneezer 7". It's a death metal jazz lounge band. They create all original music, but nobody knows who Cheesy McSneezer is. You hear him on all the albums, but every time you go to the concerts, the band tells you "Sorry guys, I know you came out for a great show, but Cheesy McSneezer couldn't be here tonight. So instead, please welcome our one night only temporary lead vocals......(Insert any random well known musician here)"

And every show, the reason why Cheesy couldn't make it changes, and is always completely absurd. And every album cover is like 100,000 people all coming together for a photo shoot. Somewhere in the photo, Cheesy McSneezer is always on the album art......but it's never aparent which one he is. And the photos are taken from so far away that you really don't have any up close visuals to cross reference the other photos with.

So every concert, is technically a famous musician doing cover songs for a guy that nobody knows who he is, but also everybody knows who he is.

If you haven't seen the movie Frank (2014) I'd recommend it

Based on a true story, unbelievably

Give me something like physics. I'm just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can't be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.

Nowadays I'm busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.

Acting like I suck at things

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Game this is easy: I will be the best at commiting crimes without getting caught. In your face Moriarty

Not giving a single F about anything.

I wish I could return to the state I was during pre birth. I have been given a small time frame of giving f's though until I will return to that state I desire to be in.

In about 50 years if nothing out of my control wipes me out I will return to being non existent.

Thinking about this makes me wonder, I havent given a single f since the big bang and now I am thrown on to a globe and a large handful of people passively forcing me to do. I have to be. I never had the option to not be. Lets see where this goes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You want to be the best at not giving a fuck? Pssshhhh!!!! Fat chance! I'm already the world leader in that....

takes a shit on your infant child

Eh....

You think you're the first living creature to use those atoms that make up your current body? You're just the current tenant.

Being a spy. Did I crack the code??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Not really. Spies need a handler. If no one can know then you can't tell anyone the secrets so you're a terrible spy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Can't know I'm the best, can still think I'm a half decent spy yknow

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Schrodingers spy.
