The ability to sing inaudibly.

The ability to accurately describe the taste of house-paint, without having actually tasted it.

The ability to hear the collisions between hydrogen atoms.

The ability to pat a dog psychically.

Balloon animals!

.... the paint, dog patting, and balloon things are dumb.. but the inaudible singing.. voice could be something, like.. super sonic or nonsonic? idk... high pitch sounds like we cant hear but animals can.

hearing small sounds made by the smallest atoms could be interesting.. could help a scientist in a way

The super power of being able to give only other people super powers.

that's actually not so bad, feel bad cuz u can't do anything but u gives others the ability to do anything, could be for good... backfire and be horrible on everyone, I like it

My husband suggests the ability to detach your fingers.

detach and regrow them? detach and there r hidden objects inside the hollow finger slots? or just detach.. and put em back like a lego.. if u lose it.. oh well... I like the idea of detach and regrow so u can use urself as bait or something, useful for zombies or fishing

Fun paradox with the conclusion one: You draw a conclusion, so you know it must be wrong. Then you conclude it must be wrong ... Uh-oh ...

a reply to: saiyankev

Just detach ... just because.

The ability to see into a future that will never exist.

now this would be very useful for writers and artist and sorta good for making money cuz if u imagine a future you know for sure won't happen with something that only would have 2 outcomes.. u choose to bet on the outcome u didn't see.. like football games.. 2 teams playing...

The ability to make anyone hate you for absolutely no reason.

The ability to misconstrue anything someone says.

The ability to see into a future that will never exist.

The ability to be completely wrong on any conclusion you make.

The ability to find any useless item anywhere in the world.

I'm a super hero and didn't know it.

I wrote a short story in a class years ago (yes, when Nintendo was popular).

I wouldn't say this is useless but I do not recall seeing it done before. This is kind of outer limits / twilight zone style of story.

A teenager turns his nintendo off (you remember, had a pistol with duck hunt) and the TV has live news with a story of a mass murderer being caught and escorted out of a building by the police.

The kid, pissed off at the story picks up the nintendo pistol and "shoots" the convict on the TV screen and he drops to the ground with a gunshot wound!

The press is scrambling and the police are searching the area and cannot find the "shooter".

The kid then does it again on another live TV story...... Of course, he becomes the most stealth vigilante assassin in the world. If they are on live TV, he can get them.

As I said, kind of more "twilight zone or Outerlimits" since it is kind of "boring" but would make a good episode.

Projectile pus from one's zits.

You don't want to know the image that put into my mind. I'll tell you anyway because I'm an a hole.

Projectile pus from one's zits. Text

Imagine a creamy pudding; on second thought, maybe custard or something else that's custardy. Imagine a thin crust over it; something like a pastry,or maybe similar to skin. Picture somebody squeezing it; the pudding spurting into the air and splattering all over the hand. Isn't that just yummy?

reminded me more of Deathnote, but instead of a name in a notebook.. it's a toy gun (or I assume the kid would be able to also use his finger as a gun) to kill through sight through live tv

Ok, someone needs to nominate this thread for the next writing contest.

YES! Yes!

a reply to: Slanter

Not to sound conceited, but I like my idea a lot now,

"Hey, I hear a noise in the garage!"

"What if were being robbed? We don't have any guns!"

"No, but you got laser-eyes now, so go have fun."

Well, three out of five is better than even.

Re: the inaudible singing, I just had an image of people being moved to tears with no idea why. Like, "WTF am I crying for? I can't shoot you 'cause I'm sobbing so hard!"

... or some sort of dance or march where they start to tap their feet and end up dancing, making weird shuffling sounds and puffing from exertion in the silence.
