Would you prefer supervision, supersmell, superfeel, superhearing, or supertaste? And what about the other senses of the body that are not part of the quintet? Think balance, temperature, and even the ability to feel where all your body parts are (you can close your eyes, wave your hands around, and touch your knee)
For me, I would pick supervision. It would be really cool to see better in the dark, have built-in camera zoom, and see in higher detail.
NONE! I ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY! I got high detail vision, taste and smell and a bit super hearing. My partner has among other things such a good hearing they hear electricity in the walls. Life for them is a nightmare!
Being autistic isnt fun :(
already have everything but super vision, so I’ll take that.
For me, I would pick supervision.
A finger of the monkey’s paw curls, you are now supervised at all times.
Might not be too bad depending on the type of supervision.
If it’s like a personal butler, I’m all for it.
I really need supervision.
No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me
Greetings from the neurodivergent spectrum!
Quick question, can I also have the opposite of these?
sure, why not? This is a theoretical after all
Then let’s imagine a cyclops type limiter of sensory input, that would be awesome.
I would argue that instead of wishing for impairment to cope with the overstimulation, you just wish for the part of your brain that handles sensory input to be able to handle your normal sensory load without issue.
Oh, nice thought. A dedicated sensory co-brain.
I’m definitely picking super vision. I’d even settle for perfectly normal vision.
Just thinking the same thing as I had to put my glasses on to read this thread.
Vision. As I’ve gotten older I have noticed that my eyes aren’t what they used to be, and I find it annoying. I’d love to compensate for that.
Super hearing, to the point of echolocation (Which apparently some blind people can actually do in a very basic form as a learned skill!?)
Maybe you could save Foggy Nelson
Now it’s just avocado at law.
I have really good hearing and it honestly sucks sometimes because you can’t really not hear some things when you really, really, really wish you couldn’t.
With super-vision at least I can close my eyes.
Spunds like you need Super Hearing Pro. Now with the additional upgrade of in built ear-plugs.
I feel that. I never leave home without my earplugs.
Like Mel Gibson in What Women Want?
Like me in Cheap Basement Suite With Paper Thin Walls and Gooner Roommate.
There’s also superpain, but I don’t think many would want that…
Someone’s BDSM session is about to reach new heights.
There are 8 billion people in the world, “anyone” doesn’t apply to anything.
ok
Super smelling. Not for any real advantage. My regular sense of smell just sucks.
I have what you may call supersmell, and it drives me insane sometimes as usually people around me couldn’t smell them until they take a closer sniff, while I’d just smell it first thing. And no, sadly, I wasn’t talking about nice smell.
Super vision.
I wanna be like Jeffery Combs seeing the world through his exposed pineal gland.
Considering I’ve got sensory sensitivity to almost all of that (yay being ND) any further would sound like hell.
I would enjoy the enhanced ability to feel hunger cues appropriately or have a superhuman ability to interpret and react to my inner feelings, beyond even neurotypical capacities.
Depends if I can turn it on and off at will, or if it’s on all the time. Even super vision would likely result in a sensory overload, even seeing the inside of your eyelids when you close your eyes!
Supervision for sure. No more glasses!
just give some rich doctor guy thousands of dollars to shine lasers into you’re eyeballs and you’re good to go
