being able to inspect/ appraise any item and get comprehensive details about it.

it would be great to spot antiques and famous works from garage/ lawn sales.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

You can dance if you want to!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

I do, and I love it! But I also need to face the fact that I'm not very good at it 😁

How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Skateboarding. Looks so fun

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Math, specifically gambling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

How to speak Japanese. I'd move there in a heartbeat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

That ability is known as Dave😁

Mind control.
