๐ŸฐYour bites are always endearing๐Ÿฐ

*bites through ICE*

Republicans: aww ๐Ÿฅฐ

*bites through president*

News Media: aww ๐Ÿฅฐ

@alice tragically the power doesn't specify the bites are *effective*
@alice A bunch of them seem really nice and I was wondering about the implications of the bite thing and now I regret not picking it
@alice Know what brand and variant of body spray someone is wearing
As someone who *hates* making phone calls, having a person always answer would be so much less stressful.

@alice I hate answering them even more.  

๐Ÿฐhate๐Ÿฐor hate? Actually hate. ;)

@alice I might pick that one if it also included that the person would always answer within 3 rings (never needed to be on hold).
@alice Also, making it so the voice quality was high enough that both ends would always understand what the other person said. I always have trouble with auditory comprehension on the phone and I hate it. I wish the audio quality on the phone wasn't absolute garbage. There's no good reason for it anymore.
@alice It's a tossup for me. Really depends on the quality of the person/bot answering. What I'd really prefer is to be able to talk to a real person in a written format.
@alice
Really? I hate actually talking to a human about as much as I hate making phone calls in general. What is it about not getting a human that stresses you, if you don't mind my asking? Maybe you've mastered some trick I could learn for talking to actual people.

@intransitivelie every ring ups my anxiety, I have a hell of a time navigating automated phone systems, I can't stand the "*hold music*โ€”your call is important to usโ€”*beep! more hold music*" bullshit.

When I get a person, I can calmly state what I want and then work out the details with them. It isn't always good, but it's consistently *better* than the bots.

@alice
I think I'd prefer to have all my phone calls be emails instead, but I imagine that would be too powerful for a superpower ๐Ÿ˜… I'd overanalyze myself regardless, I guess, so maybe it's for the best that I chose the ability to talk to cats.
@alice if anyone gets that power I'm going to find a way to live without a phone number. I hate all the sounds my phone makes, except for morning alarm

@alice
We chose the fresh breath. Our vaping habit, even with breath fresheners, is not exactly kind to our breath.

So many great options, but why not eliminate an issue which would make others not want to be around us.

@alice

The amount of leftovers I have thrown out because they were hidden behind something when I was hungry and looking in the fridge is too damn high for me to pick something else.

@alice
Oh that's tough, there are four or so I'd really go for? Maybe 5, if I can sneak in the lesbian one as a treat.

@alice

it's against the rules, but rules were made to be broken anyways

all of the above!!!!!!

@alice That was easy. However, if the option had been "you perfectly understand what your cat says to you" , I'd have a decisive crisis ๐Ÿ˜
@alice I had to pick "food never spoils" because it's good for everyone, but detecting all the blahaj was very tempting...
@alice oh I only need the lesbian into you one, the rest are not even on the radar.
@hotkey @alice I already have that power (I am a man so I know that she is not into me).

@not2b feel free to pick a different one if you already rolled that power at character creation.

@hotkey

@alice @hotkey I picked leftovers never going bad. We throw away so much formerly good food.
@not2b @hotkey @alice Ditto. Some guys don't turn theirs on. Weird, right?

@alice i always know what my power is going to be

(but knowing if lesbians are into me would be great ๐Ÿฅบ)

@chaosexanima @alice if you know their favorite food, they will be into you
@alice This is a really tough one! There are so many that I would jump at the chance to have
@alice In the end, I had to go with 8 hours of sleep because it eliminates the need for several of the others.
Easiest multichoice of my life. The power to command a legion of cats, and be blatantly ignored by all of them after a scornful glance.
@alice Got to be the unsay thing for me.
@davep @alice I would prefer the opposite, to have said the thing that I thought of later in the kitchen while making a cuppa
@alice what if you already have one of these powers, do you get a second one?
@alice but then really, endearing bites are really more about intention than a power...
@alice but humans thrive on risk. Where's the fun in knowing what state of matter is currently chambered?

@chris_e_simpson works on others too ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Was that the cat? Now you'll know for sure.

@alice I had to choose between lesbianism and a healthy sleep schedule. But then again, that's the choice I make every day and I always choose lesbianism, so...

@alice torn between lesbian crush detection and being able to bribe an army of cats into maybe doing some of my bidding...

But for the sake of the planet, the proletariat, and queer people everywhere, my enemies shall know nothing but the taste of butter until they change their wicked ways

@dotjayne I feel like it doesn't matter if the cat can understand us. Cat will do what cat wants to do.

@alice

@mayintoronto @alice yeah that's the Achilles tendon in my supervillain cat-whisperer origin story. Despite their natural anarchist tendencies, I'm not sure there's enough wet food and time in the day to convince enough cats that smashing the state is just like knocking a really big glass off a really high shelf

@dotjayne @mayintoronto @alice

"Oh no, don't worry, I'm not going to complain if you bite that guy. Feel free to use all your claws too if you like. Heck I'll move the pillow into the sunny spot on the stairs if you do"

@mayintoronto @dotjayne @alice it's true. If anything, a cat that can understand you would act even worse

@dotjayne @alice Wow, dang thatโ€™s almost the same reasoning I used in my decision โ€ฆ except I didnโ€™t pick butter.

I went with the verbal undo. Save so many interactions from misunderstandings.

@alice as someone with consistently erratic sleep, being able to sleep for 8 hours every night would be a godsend.

Well... assuming that I would also wake up feeling well rested lol

@alice as a person with chronic stomach issues that fart one hits hard. ๐Ÿ˜‚
@alice truly shocked that i am the only endearing bite voter
@alice shape shift isnโ€™t on here the list is wrong /s
