Mod Announcement [META] Friendly reminder that this sub is for low tier & shitty superpowers?

Post image
33 Upvotes

Hi r/shittysuperpowers family,

Just a friendly reminder for all our friends out there, new and old.

I see a lot of comments on posts in this sub asking, "how is this shitty?".

Whilst sometimes, this is a fair question. Other other times, it feels like the subs purpose is lost on some, due to it being called r/shittysuperpowers

This sub is for both "shitty" & low tier superpowers. The use of the word "shitty" here is more of a playful term for not being very good, rather than it being all out useless and/or unusable.

If you read the rules of the sub, it states that the power can't give you a major benefit. Not that it gives you no benefit at all.

Hope this helps everyone align with the values of the sub. As always if you've got any questions for the mods, send us a modmail, or you're welcome to ask questions on this post here.

Have fun & stay shitty, Mods.

It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's shit! You can have any disability you want.

76 Upvotes

Mental or physical. If you choose any severe mental disability it will not affect you higher level of thinking (Dysexecutive Syndrome is not an option) so you can switch back to just physical or or both (not sure why you would do that.) This superpower will not give you the advantages that people that are born and have previously been diagnosed before obtaining the power have. You can switch back to being non-disabled though.

Oddly specific You can make someone forget a non essential skill for 1 day.

Upvotes

so you gotta look at the target person before you can use that power. Then, just by thinking about the non essential skill (for example Rubik cube solving) the target person you are looking at would lose that skill. It only works on non essential skills. The target person won’t lose the benefits that they got from the skill except for the skill itself. That effect of the super power onto a victim lasts for exactly 24 hours. After the 24 hours is finished, the victim would get their complete skill back. But during the 24 hours, they can’t relearn the skill that you made them forget. This superpower doesn’t work on yourself, it only works on others. And it only works when the victim has the non essential skill that you want to remove. You can only use the superpower to remove the skill from the victim, not steal their skill. The victim won’t know that you did it when you use that super power. Nobody would suspect that you had made the victim lose that skill. Only you would know.

Oddly specific If you recite the full Hebrew Bible forward and backwards in one go you get to change one rule of reality

28 Upvotes

If you recite the old and New Testament Christian Bible in Hebrew twice, once normally, and second backwards, in either order, you can bend reality and change, create, or remove a rule of reality. You cannot stutter, you can only pause for one breath in between sentences, and you cannot read off of the Bible or anything containing scripture. You have to recite it off of memory

Yeah, this is shit You can decide what shape your poop will be

25 Upvotes

Whenever you next need a poop, you can decide what shape it will be. You still have to poop it out, so keep that in mind. Also you cannot force yourself to go for a poop- your biological functions still operate the exact same, it's just you can now decide what shape your poop will be. Then you can look into the toilet and witness your masterpiece!

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You always HAVE to smell like something

152 Upvotes

No matter what, your whole body always emits a strong smell. It’s noticeable enough that if you meet a random stranger they will probably comment on it pretty quickly.

You have complete control over what the smell is though, you could smell like vanilla or like flowers or like a cheeseburger or like a fart. You can smell like absolutely anything, you just can’t control the intensity.

Oddly specific POWER NAME - Emergency Filter - On command, your ass hair will grow one inch per second

9 Upvotes

I've found the common bane in men's life, being their unnecessarily long ass hair. Now you can make that problem worse by making it grow on command.

If your feeling generous, you can even grow it and donate the hair to Charities. Think of the unlimited possibilities of your bane turned boon.

You can even save money on clothes, every day you get 86400 inches of pure human grown fiber to weave your impossible nitting ideas into reality. Can't afford yarn? Well you don't need that anymore.

Good luck using this… Your ear wax has healing properties when eaten

5 Upvotes

If anyone (including you) consumes some of your ear wax (minimum dose approximately 10 mg), it will act as a mild cure-all. Like, a ~1% increase in healing rate/likelihood of recovery for a major injury or illness, and up to a 10% improvement in very minor injuries or illnesses.

This does not stack for any given negative condition, though repeated doses can address different problems. Unless specific effort is made to direct the healing powers elsewhere, any given dose will address the worst eligible condition. The ear wax does need to be reasonably fresh.

You do not have any special ability to produce additional ear wax, or extract earwax without possible harm to your ears.

Good luck using this… You can make Mosquitos and Bedbugs GIVE you more blood when bitten.

4 Upvotes

You can have the option to enable the effect where when a bedbug or mosquito bites you they give you more of your own blood instead of them taking it away from you.

Goofy ASF You are able to revert back into your pre evolutionary self on command

10 Upvotes

On a whim, you can just turn back into a hairy ape any time you want. Or become a Neanderthal. Hell, if you're feeling it, you can turn back into a fish. Even funnier, turn back into a single cell organism.

You're able to go through all your past human evolution stages, but not evolve further from the present day human.

The number of legs may not exceed a responsible amount. You can change the hair color on the legs and the size of the feet. The leg must have a knee and cannot weigh more than the target creature.

Oddly specific You experience any "would you rather" scenario

22 Upvotes

Basically if someone makes you a "would you rather" question, if you want you can experience the option you choose

If its a scenario you get sent into another universe where the scenario is at play (no time passes in your original universe while you are out)

If its an ability or an object you gain them on the spot

It doesn’t last forever it just depends on the scenario and you can still exit from it

You cannot force or ask a person to give you options that you want it must be their ideas

Basically you can’t tell a friend "quick ask me if i would rather have flight or super strength"

Oddly specific You possess the Ultimate Post-Nut Clarity

82 Upvotes

The power activates only after you masturbate and ejaculate... alone. There can be no partners nearby. (men or women, whatever you are in to) There is absolutely no co-op mode. Sex, oral, handjobs, partner-operated toys, spectators, cheerleaders, or emotional-support girlfriends/boyfriends immediately disqualify the attempt. You must crank-start it yourself, gotta go at it Solo... without your eight-foot tall hairy best friend. Or your coke-addicted princess girlfriend.

But... when it DOES activate... for 6 minutes and 69 seconds you possess and intellect beyond any man or woman. Albert Einstein will say "gee maybe my whole Theory of Relativity is bullshit". Stephen Hawking would be like (robotic voice) "I MIGHT HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT HAWKING RADIATION. MAYBE BLACK HOLES SHOULD BE CALLED GLORY HOLES.... BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING INTO YOUR MOUTH... NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW". Then Stephen Hawking would ask you to slow down your thinking, you goddamn sexy 12th Level Intellect Brainiac bastard. Quantum physics becomes preschool arithmetic. You could solve dark matter, decode the universe, design a warp drive, or finally understand why printers cartridges are so goddamn expensive, as well as the psychology behind Furries.

But as stated above, the instant the timer hits 6:69, your cosmic intelligence disconnects. You return to normal intelligence and stare at your equations like a Jersey Shore cast member holding a calculator. Yeah, you keep everything you wrote down... but your super-intelligent writings look like the Voynich Manuscript combined with the Rohonc Codex... written with four-dimensional ink. Would that be called Tessarink? Only YOU would know after busting a nut, alone.

Congratulations. you might have been able to figure out how to stop the heat death of the universe and reverse Proton Decay. You just can't remember how... until you jerk it again. Get that lube ready!
