But aside from putting a room full of interpreters out of work, more useful/fun than flight? Really?
Maybe not more fun but more useful? I think so. Flying would attract too much unwanted attention and think of the job opportunities that would open up if you could list literally any language on your CV.
 
@tonni Have you seen the show Tabula Rasa?

We were watching it and thought the language was French, but then everyone once in a while the speakers would make really gross sounds like found in German. Turns out the language was Flemish.
 
Well I assume I wouldn't be able to use it effectively if I don't understand the language the person is thinking in, plus that's really invasive and I don't think I'd even want that.

If you can read minds then I would think you can understand the mental links between sounds and thoughts. I guess it depends on how good a telepath you are. Surface thought readers would likely need to the language, deeper readers would not.

Anyone who’s seen True Blood knows mind reading sucks.

Who hasn’t dreamed of being able to fly? Easy choice.




Plum harvester, imo.


You’re over thinking this.

That’s why flying was in my top choices. I mean it won’t change your like some of the other powers could, but then again, you can fly !!!!!!!!!

I think that could be controlling the world or being ufc champ, or the best lotto/stock picker.

Assuming you could find a way to use those powers with out ending up in a lab.
 
How come we excluded
- the power to mind control fish
- the ability to turn into a bucket of water
- stretch powers
- the ability to control swarms of bees
- the ability to decipher languages (oh wait<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>)

Well either way like I said, that's really invasive and I feel like it'd come with a lot of monkey's paw type stuff. I wouldn't trust myself with that power, I'd definitely pry into places where I'd find answers I'd be better off not knowing.

I just want to be able to read scholarly articles that haven't been translated to English or be able to read/watch great works from different cultures like the Masnavi in their original language. It would make traveling a lot cooler too and like I mentioned earlier would open a lot of doors in terms of career opportunities.

Won’t change your life?? Dude. I’d wake up on a Saturday and fly to Bora Bora for the weekend. No cost, no airports. I assume I can fly really fast, while drinking scotch and smoking a cigar. And wearing a backpack, I guess.
 
We got a love of votes for Time Travel. Seems a lot of people want to turn Hitler Heterosexual and prevent world war 2 and not just Tonni
I'd never try something history altering like that, I'd probably go back in time to simply act as an observer to historical events and periods I find interesting.
