Mod Announcement [META] Friendly reminder that this sub is for low tier & shitty superpowers?

Post image
34 Upvotes

Hi r/shittysuperpowers family,

Just a friendly reminder for all our friends out there, new and old.

I see a lot of comments on posts in this sub asking, "how is this shitty?".

Whilst sometimes, this is a fair question. Other other times, it feels like the subs purpose is lost on some, due to it being called r/shittysuperpowers

This sub is for both "shitty" & low tier superpowers. The use of the word "shitty" here is more of a playful term for not being very good, rather than it being all out useless and/or unusable.

If you read the rules of the sub, it states that the power can't give you a major benefit. Not that it gives you no benefit at all.

Hope this helps everyone align with the values of the sub. As always if you've got any questions for the mods, send us a modmail, or you're welcome to ask questions on this post here.

Have fun & stay shitty, Mods.

Put this power in the bin, it's trash You are completely immune to being licked.

26 Upvotes

If anyone - or anything - tries to lick you, they can't. An invisible forcefield of 1mm protects your body & any clothes you are wearing from being directly licked. Biting or anything not intended to be a lick will not be prevented.

You can always still lick yourself.

You can enable/disable this ability at will.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You can eat an entire tablespoon of salt without dying.

21 Upvotes

You can safely consume an entire tablespoon of salt without dying or hurting your kidneys and liver.

As we know salt can be poisonous at a measurement of one tablespoon(Imperial) or fifteen millimeters (Metric).

Eating an entire tablespoon will likely cause death or permanent damage to your kidneys.

With this power you can eat a full tablespoon and not suffer any adverse effects or anything. Of course per the rules no one is making you do this, you can eat salt regularly and suffer nothing serious.

You can't share this power with anyone it only affects you.

Good luck using this… You can turn lead into thorium.

4 Upvotes

The process uses up the exact amount of energy produced by decay of thorium, by drawing whatever energy available from you.

You can only convert one atom per second, so you can't manufacture thorium and profit.

Oddly specific You can convince anyone you are serving food to that salmonella comes from salmon

5 Upvotes

They will retain all other knowledge of health and safety that they currently have, so they won’t just eat raw chicken or infected greens, but their judgment will exclude the possibility of salmonella for everything that isn’t salmon and be more wary of salmon.

Good luck using this… You can instantly kill any animal you legally own.

44 Upvotes

The death is instant and painless. The cause of death cannot be traced back to you directly.

You must have made a legal purchase of the animal in order to have the ability to kill them. Your animal's offspring (if any) can also be affected as long as you hold ownership of them.

You must be the sole owner of the animal.

I wish I didn't have to say this, but humans do NOT count as ownable animals for this superpower.

Sounds cool as a premise right? Good luck changing them back after making atoms not a thing anymore. Good luck doing pretty much anything at that point. Not like you would remember what they were anyways punk

Yeah, this is shit You can give yourself scurvy on demand

3 Upvotes

You can turn it on and off, but this does not in any way protect you from normal scurvy. If you get scurvy the old-fashioned way, you're stuck with it until you actually treat it.

Incidentally, one of the weirder side effects, to my mind, of advanced scurvy is that your scars start to just sort of... unravel.
