Which would you want?

You can only pick 1

Which ability would you rather have:

1. Fly
2. Go back in time (any time in the past, for a full week & then come back to the present)
3. Read minds
4. Predict the future

nothing off the list really appeals to me..

in my dreams I always fly lol..
I've made lots of mistakes etc. but past is past .. I don't think I want to go back
I read people's minds pretty well lol
knowing about the future before it happens ruins the fun..

If I went back in time, would I be able to affect the present? And could I go back in time as many times as I wish in order to bring about cumulative changes to the present?

If yes, I choose that.

Otherwise, mind reading.

I'd much rather be able to turn invisible at will though.

Predict the future.

I am going to make millions with this.

lol I'd go back in time. But obviously not to the bad parts of the past. I'd give anything to know what it feels like in the moment to spend 1 more day with my mother.

Of course it would probably sadden me to come back to the present & face the reality again that she's gone, but nonetheless, if I could spend just 1 more second with her, I'd do it in a heartbeat

teleport is nice.

yea I was thinking of this, too, and actually was writing about it in my prev post..but then the op said 'only from the list' hehe..

traveling the world without being locked up in a flying jumbo metal for hours and hours.. pop up in a bar in london on friday night and enjoy it till dawn..and get up in a hotel in tokyo the next morning..
or if I also had abilities to resist radiations high heats or cold temperature or toxic gases, etc. etc... then trips to outer space.. to galaxies billion light years away from the earth..

Predict the future.

With this I don't need any of the rest.

Nope. You'd simply be going back in time & reliving the exact same moment you were in at that time. You wouldn't be able to change anything. Just either relive a good or maybe even bad experience all over again for 1 full week. After the week is over, you'd go right back to the present that would be completely unaffected by the past you just went back to.

Hmmm. What if the extent of your "gift" was only to predict the future? If you believe in fate & that what's meant to happen to you will happen to you regardless, wouldn't it technically be fair to say that simply predicting the future may not change how you go about the future if your cards have already been dealt?!

For example: let's say it's already in the cards for you to die at 57 years old of a heart attack. You predicted that. But could you change that?! In the meantime, you could do everything in your power to try preventing a heart attack (exercising, eating right, taking medicines, etc.) but if fate decided that your time was up at 57, then your time would be up at 57 regardless. See what I'm saying?

Fly.

But only because the other three don't appeal.

It would be so much fun, though. 😄

oh. Screw that then. And screw the predict future thing if I can't use it to influence it. And flying seems useless. The military would probably shoot me down.

So it seems the only useful one is mind reading.

Well that would suck, but you still can prepare for it. So I'd still choose predict the future over the rest.

Fate cannot be changed, but we can fulfill our destiny regardless of our limitations.

Read minds

LOL I would hate it if I could read minds & couldn't ever turn it off!!!

Imagine all the crazy emotions/thoughts you'd be picking up on people all the time. I imagine that would be overwhelming!!

If I could turn it on only when I wanted to, yeah that'd be pretty awesome 🙂

*Applies for job* Oh he's already sure he's gonna hire me, great!
*Wants to know the intentions of someone* Oh good, now I know this person is a snake. NEXT!
*Wants to know how I really look in this dress* Oh F*****ck, everyone hates it!!! lolol
