You can choose a super power, but the first person to reply can name a side effect. (lemmy.world)

I always thought this was a fun topic. What power would you choose?

Your side effect is super cool, specially if you imagine that even light would be frozen in time. People in this thread keep choosing side effects that would ruin the super power but this one would be a problem but still worth using the power. With some practice you might even overcome some of thrle drawbacks.

Now I want a super hero with this power and side effect

I like it especially if it works like a switch. Imagine how perfect your naps would be. You'd never oversleep.

Do you age while time is stopped? If so, might want to rethink those perfect naps. I'd 100% abuse it though.
