    A lot of people read this as “your greatest weakness is now gone” which makes sense given the video game slider analogy

    Meanwhile I’m here like “how do I somehow, hilariously, become unstoppable by means of procrastinating everything”?

    But I did think of it: significantly extend my lifespan by procrastinating dying :]

      It’s not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that’s even slightly productive.

      The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you’ve been putting off. Constantly.

      Not a boon, but a curse.

      Nine times out of ten, when a question is asked on the internet- it gets taken out of contexts so the people answering can platform whatever dumb shit they feel they need to say.

    I’m very forgetful, so I guess in this scenario I have an eidetic memory. I become one of those weird guys who wins every game show due to my fantastic recall of everything I’ve ever read, seen or heard.

    I guess my head becomes invincible and nothing can hurt it and I feel no pain in my head, ever?

      According to the rules of the post, you are now confident, persuasive, and loved!

      And the best thing of all… it doesn’t just have to be a fantasy. These are all qualities that can be learned, practiced, and refined over time. It’s not easy, but it can become a reality!

      I guess with no fear of confrontation, or being rejected, you’d be a great sociopath/politician/CEO? Positive angle is you might be rich
