....... what would it be ?

sometimes whilst out cycling, i find myself in a bit of a fantasy mind, wishing for something that is obviously impossible. my fave is wishing i had a superpower.

and it would be to have the ability to point my hand at any car that close passes me at high speeds, and to flip the offending car on it's roof and causing serious damage ( not death ) to the offending driver.

what superpower would you like ?

The ability to regenerate myself to a younger version of myself - pain and injury free.
And x-ray vision of course.

Moving so slowly that people don't even perceive it.

I often think similar, I guess a lot of us do.

But my fantasy is to cause an inconvenient and expensive mechanical issue on their vehicle, like the gearbox eating itself or something.

Flying.
Or the thing about causing cars to flip. I often wish I could just cause all 4 tyres to go spontaneously flat when I get a close pass or witness inconsiderate driving.

Time travel. Causality be damned. <br /><br />

4 tyres to go spontaneously

flat when

I managed two when a car cut in late and hit a pedestrian island with both offside tyres punctured. What do I win?

Similar fantasy of mine but for cars sitting in lane 2 or 3 of the motorway with nobody in the inside lanes. I've often wished I could flip them straight into a nearby field.

Teleportation, or flying as a second best.  Or the ability to speak and have the kids listen and take notice 😉

I overheard an old bloke in a cafe saying wistfully that 'Alexa is the only woman who ever pays attention to anything I say'

Tunnocks Teacake consumption.

Or should I pick one I don't already have mastery of?

A superpower that I already possess is the ability to select the biggest piece of cake/pizza/whatever from the other side of the room

Good Luck.

Just little things, like always getting a parking space, waiters turning up when you need them.

And regular lottery wins, obvs.

The ability to have other people do exactly what I was them to do. I would of course use this for the good of all mankind.

Time travel solves just about all the above problems.

Want more cake or pizza? Just wind back time a few minutes and eat again what you've already eaten!

Want awesome knees and hearing? Just wind time back to when you were 18

Want a car parking spot? Wind back time and sabotage the car that's parked in your desired spot before it gets there...

Want to win the lottery? Wind forward to get the results of next big win then wind time back a bit...

The ability to make kids go to sleep would probably save me a couple of hours a day.

Other than that, maybe the ability to control a huge horde of rats, Pied Piper style. Not sure why, but it seems like it could be cool.
