Ha! I'm imagining a DC comic book about "appraisal man"!!
I'd love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I've seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.
You can dance if you want to!
I do, and I love it! But I also need to face the fact that I'm not very good at it 😁

Auto maintenance and repair

household maintenance and repair; handyman stuff
How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.
If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.

Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.
Kung Fu
Skateboarding. Looks so fun
I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.
People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.
The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.
Having a strong speech skill. I'll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.
maths.
I never had enough brains to not suck at maths.

The ability to sew anything. I love to binge sewing vids so being able to take some scraps and make cool shit would be amazing.
Math, specifically gambling.
My first thought was also languages, but all the classes for a bachelors in nuclear engineering would be nice. Huge passion of mine and I can't really pursue a degree at this point in my life
Deduction, at superhuman speed of course just like neos kung fu speed.
Deduce the optimal stock market traction to gain a big chunk of capital so I can than deduce the best proper services to provide, or find the proper projects
How to speak Japanese. I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Psychology.
I assume psychology is very useful for social interaction, but complicated and mid-impact enough that I personally wouldn't bother to analog-learn it.
Sex probably
Knowing every tree, plant, insect, ...
Yeah, Billy 780164 as I like to call him, is an ant living in the basement in a swedish suburb near the sea, just besides the grass Gras9534795.
:) not what I intended, but that would be cool too
That ability is known as Dave😁
Mind control.
Tell me it doesn't use alien DNA like In Prey (2017)
