Ask Lemmy

Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.

"I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do."

Download more RAM. My working memory is shit (ADHD).

The ability to upload any ability into my mind that I can think of and be amazing at it.

Shashahshaaa!

Runs away and throws pocket sand

How to people.

I have great ideas and am horrible at explaining them.

Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.

Ability to complete a household project with only 1 trip to the hardware store.

Read and write all languages. Be it swahili, mandarin, latin, hieroglyfs, python, c++ or java. ;)

I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.

I'd upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

The ability to make an ability uploading tool.

I'd love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I've seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.

Psychotherapy

Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.

Playing the piano and other instruments like a master. Music conveys feelings we can’t convey otherwise.

If I could have something magical: I'd like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through

If it's gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what's going on bc I forget shit, but it's not forgotten I just didn't remember that memory at the right time even though I had it..

Talking to people hasn't been going well lately

Ability to fold a fitted sheet.

I want to understand, intrinsically, and be able to manipulate to my liking, all the financial systems of the world.

At worst, I'd quickly become a well-paid accountant. At best, I'd become an extremely talented, untraceable, modern Robin Hood.

Speaking Korean, I live here for 4 years already and despite pushing moderatelly to learn it, I don't speak it at all. Everything I learn I forget very fast again.

Kung Fu

Skateboarding. Looks so fun

"I know how to understand and speak every language with the proper accent. Wöáh."

Whatever is fun and makes money. Tired of being bored and broke all the time.

I know how to sew anything. I love to binge sewing vids so being able to take some scraps and make cool shit would be amazing.

The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.

The ability to perform high level mathematics and computer science tasks including programming languages and logic.

Deduction, at superhuman speed of course just like neos kung fu speed.
Deduce the optimal stock market traction to gain a big chunk of capital so I can than deduce the best proper services to provide, or find the proper projects

The ability to deal with the rush and then persistence of negative feeling whenever anything bad happens, my routine is thrown off, or even I have to do something I'd rather not, because I do not cope well with any of those, and it causes me to shut down.

The usual advice is to "bury it", "hold it" or "suck it up" for some unspecified later time, but that was basically my old coping mechanism and It Does Not Work™ any more.

So I'd like the upgraded version of that. Whatever it is. Preferably a version that won't break or occasionally malfunction (we call those "Warning signs", kids) like the original one did.

Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I'd love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn'tma.

Time travel
