Good point, if you’re 100% subjectively lucky, not only you would have that ‘live-forever DNA’ but also everyone else that you’d wish for, i.e. all your loved ones. And if you were looking for a new friend or partner, you’d always find a perfect match immediately.

I guess such an ability might have severe negative consequences for the part of the universe you dislike or don’t care about. But from a purely egocentric point of view, I can’t see any drawbacks at the moment.

If you don’t specify a currency or a grade of inflation, this might kill far more people than expected.

1 billion Iranian Rial for instance is just about 23752 USD.

How is that different from ‘being able to fly’ or ‘being able to turn invisible’? My understanding of OP’s twist is that you don’t have full control over your ability but that the skill is permanently active.

We could also run some heat pipes through the body to improve conductivity, stretch the skin to increase the surface etc.

If the person doesn’t need to be alive to stay at a comfortable temperature we could even grind the body into a powder of tiny heat emitting particles. Then add a very fast flowing liquid with a good conductivity and our super hero heating system is good to go.

But enough psychopath talk now. I personally don’t want to turn anyone into a heating system, but I’m sure capitalism will find a way to exploit this special property. :D

Good point. If you fly feet forward towards the ground with an acceleration of 9,81 m/s2 it should feel pretty much like normal standing with gravity.

If humanity finds out about that property of you, you might end up as some kind of human battery. If you can’t be cooled down under any circumstances, one could use your body to heat up infinite amounts of water/air with heat pumps and use you to heat entire cities. Super useful for the rest of humanity but not exactly the life I’d like to live. :D

I guess in combination with the ‘can’t stop it’ twist that would mean that you can’t stop talking in these old and random languages. So people will think you’re crazy and you’ll end up in some kind of mental illness hospital.

I found a global stream that is a bit similar to /all and has a wider variety of content, also new posts with just little interaction so far. That feels already slightly better than the top trends.

I never tried PixelFed and just signed up to pixel.tchncs.de. As a client I downloaded Pixelix from F-Droid. Now I’m there with an empty feed. How do I get started?

There’s a section with trending profiles and one with trending hashtags but both sections seem to have pretty generic content like #art, #photography, #photos etc.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice photographies and all but it feels really anonymous and a bit random to me. Is this the normal PixelFed experience or am I doing it wrong?

And our thoughts, words and actions are the projectiles.

My recommendation would be not to see it as some kind of battle or trying to enforce any kind of relationship. Try to be healthy and active in live. Learn to love yourself. If you love yourself, so will do others. You won’t find a partner necessarily but the more you work on your individual life, the higher the chances to find good friends or a partner.

Please try to find a different way to vent. I can see how that may feel satisfying, but driving any kind of vehicle when stressed or in an emotional situation can be highly dangerous - for you and everyone else involved.

If hormone levels are high we’re unfortunately not always able to assess risks and our abilities correctly and won’t be as focused as required.

Please don’t reach out to the phone number. This might be as well some kind of obfuscated bullying where someone on purpose shares someone else’s phone number in weird contexts. The owner of the number might not even be aware of this post.

If there is no single being on earth that is able to eat it, I’d consider it non-edible. Even if all humans and animals worked together, they could at best eat some parts of the mountain. But that I’d rather consider eating rocks, not eating ‘the mountain’.

If we define absorbtion of the mountain by a black hole as eating, I might accept that. Otherwise I double down. :P

maybe someone put actual garbage diapers on it in the factory.

That’s what you get if capitalists don’t allow workers sufficient bathroom breaks.

How about Mount Everest?

And if they don’t have to pay for homes outside the company you can reduce the salary and charge them for rent.

On Boost it’s a video with sound (really!).

No thanks
