TK, definitely. I'm lazy, and being able to move things without having to get up would be convenient as hell.

I would be invisible. But, if I were invisible, then how would I keep from running into things. I mean..really, are superpowers all they are cracked up to be? If I were invisible..I'd have to be naked..because my clothes would be visible, thus making me very NOT invisible. My first thought is...How could I use it to get money! My human nature would suddenly render what could be a super hero trait, into a villainous, base, self-advantageous bane. I have to admit though, being invisible could be nice, because I could walk up to my boss' desk and annoy him as much as he annoys me! :D

i always wonder about the food in your stomach. and if you were invisible, and you pooped.....how would you know you had wiped properly? would your poop be invisible? you could even get invisible e coli from having invisible poop on your fingers!

it always comes back to poop, doesn;t it?

my problem is the idea that you can't see any part of yourself...so if I were invisible, how would I know if I was going to hit the stairs right with my feet? How would I know if I was going to shake someone's hand or jab them in the stomach? For that matter, how would I pick my nose without poking myself in the eye?

If you were invisible, light would pass straight through your eye, not being focused or captured, leaving you blind.

unless you weren't actually invisible but wrapped in a 360 degree X 360 degree (x and y planes) field that transmitted a pure image at all angles of the opposite side of your exterior surfaces. I don;t think that technology is available yet, but if you had some more chisels and enough time, i'm sure you could put together a reasonable facsimile of it, HM.

Forget about all those "superpowers", every one of them has some kind of weird side effect or weakness. I don't even want to consider the ethical questions or any responsibilities involved. Gimme that "Neuro-lizer" gizmo from "Men In Black", and then we can talk about having some real fun.

So that's why those invisible men all wear sunglasses.;)

I haven't read through the whole thread but would anyone else like to be able to see themselves from the outside so you can see what you look and sound like, what impression you are giving and how people truly respond to you, so you can change what you don't like and have a greater sense of self-awareness. I think this is what holds a lot of people back and creates lots of confidence issues.

Just read that back and fuck it I wanna be magic and make my every wish come true.

Really knowing what others think of you would totally suck ass.

Just think of the psychological meltdown that would occur if radar ever figures that out ...

Magic, like in storybooks, yeah, that would be cool.

(Magick I already gots).

Lol. But with a name like radar you'd think he'd have scanned all our perceptions already.
