I’m pretty good at knowing what to add to any recipe or dish to make it better. (Answer: cream, feta cheese, seasoned salt, lemon). I can also summon my dog at will. Provided he is in the general area.
But it would be great to be able to run through walls 50% of the time, or more.
I want new knees or to be super lucky. Not “win the lotto” lucky, but “cop gets called on his radio when he pulls you over for speeding” lucky. Or not tripping and falling on my fat ass lucky.
I can identify almost any pop or rock song within 3 seconds. Very mundane, it only helped me once in my life at my company’s Christmas party when we played a song identifying game. I won in a landslide and everybody was stunned. My short moment of glory .
I have what my wife and daughter calls parking mojo. There is almost always a parking space waiting for me close to the entrance I want to use. Anywhere. Any time. Any season.
If I set a timer for something my internal timer triggers an interrupt request 1 minute before the original timer expires.
I forgot to mention there is a flip side to the power. When I go to exit the parking lot there’s a mile of traffic coming to prevent me leaving unless there’s a light at the exit.
I can sometimes, but far from always, instantaneously determine the geology of a place. One time I got lost while driving in north-central New Mexico, when I crested a ridge and saw Taos Canyon which I recognized from pictures, so I knew where I was. My second thought was “that’s totally a lava plain.”
This weekend I was looking at a topo map of central Alaska and was amazed that it hadn’t been recently heavily glaciated. Then I was amazed that I was instantly amazed rather than wondering if I was right.
However, the closer I get to a rock, the harder it becomes for me to tell anything about it. (Although there is a conglomerate layer at Hovenweep National Monument which I did manage to identify as riverine conglomerate due to the intermediate rounding and sorting of the clasts, but that’s not really a superpower because I had to think about it.)
