Would you prefer supervision, supersmell, superfeel, superhearing, or supertaste? And what about the other senses of the body that are not part of the quintet? Think balance, temperature, and even the ability to feel where all your body parts are (you can close your eyes, wave your hands around, and touch your knee)
For me, I would pick supervision. It would be really cool to see better in the dark, have built-in camera zoom, and see in higher detail.
Super enhanced proprioception.
General execution and even general learning of anything that requires physical movement (from sports, driving, writing/typing, doing surgery, videogames…) would be massively improved.
There are aids to enhance things like vision and hearing, but there are 0 aids currently for proprioception.
Greetings from the neurodivergent spectrum!
Quick question, can I also have the opposite of these?
Super smelling. Not for any real advantage. My regular sense of smell just sucks.
I have what you may call supersmell, and it drives me insane sometimes as usually people around me couldn’t smell them until they take a closer sniff, while I’d just smell it first thing. And no, sadly, I wasn’t talking about nice smell.
I really need supervision.
No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me
Vision. As I’ve gotten older I have noticed that my eyes aren’t what they used to be, and I find it annoying. I’d love to compensate for that.
As a guy who wears glasses, heightened vision would be awesome.
Super hearing would be great, too. I’d love to be able to hear all the nuances of music and be able to hear it without turning it up.
For me, I would pick supervision.
A dinner of the monkey’s paw curls, you are now supervised at all times.
Might not be too bad depending on the type of supervision.
If it’s like a personal butler, I’m all for it.
supervision so i can finish my licensure without having to pay $50 a week to talk to the supervisor
Super hearing, to the point of echolocation (Which apparently some blind people can actually do in a very basic form as a learned skill!?)
Maybe you could save Foggy Nelson
Now it’s just avocado at law.
I’m definitely picking super vision. I’d even settle for perfectly normal vision.
Just thinking the same thing as I had to put my glasses on to read this thread.
Depends if I can turn it on and off at will, or if it’s on all the time. Even super vision would likely result in a sensory overload, even seeing the inside of your eyelids when you close your eyes!
Assuming supertaste enables me to make broccoli taste like Pad Thai. I’ll go with that one.
If it only heightens the sense - then probably less likely to pick that one.
It makes you super tasty. Unfortunately, once the cannibals learn about you, you’ll be forced to live on the run.
What? Broccoli tastes good though…
<side eye glance>
I have really good hearing and it honestly sucks sometimes because you can’t really not hear some things when you really, really, really wish you couldn’t.
With super-vision at least I can close my eyes.
I feel that. I never leave home without my earplugs.
Spunds like you need Super Hearing Pro. Now with the additional upgrade of in built ear-plugs.
Like Mel Gibson in What Women Want?
Like me in Cheap Basement Suite With Paper Thin Walls and Gooner Roommate.
There’s also superpain, but I don’t think many would want that…
Someone’s BDSM session is about to reach new heights.
There are 8 billion people in the world, “anyone” doesn’t apply to anything.
ok
Considering I’ve got sensory sensitivity to almost all of that (yay being ND) any further would sound like hell.
I would enjoy the enhanced ability to feel hunger cues appropriately or have a superhuman ability to interpret and react to my inner feelings, beyond even neurotypical capacities.
