    I want to get bitten by a capybara and get the superpower of being chill 100% of the time.

    Bitten by a radioactive housecat, I gain the ability to sleep deeply and comfortably in a position that by all rights looks like it should be destroying my spine

    Like I’ll take whatever else you wanna throw on top, night vision or claws or something, but I only really need that first thing

    How isn’t there one post mentioning Mantis shrimp for the vision and punching power. Or any gorilla for being vegan and jacked. What about a giraffe? You could taste a women’s urine to know if she’s ovulating. Are these not no the default answers?

    An axolotl. I love swimming, less so the idea of SCUBA diving. I’d spend so many hours just chilling in the coral reefs on a sunny day. They’re amphibious too so it means I could breathe just fine on land and in the water!

    Human, so that I can be even humaner. If I can get humaner enough I might bypass superhuman and become hyperhuman. I didn’t know if that will give me 5th-dimensional awareness or make me explode, but if superpowers are involved, there’s only one way to find out.

    Alternatively a mountain goat so I can wall-run through downtown like it’s fucking Skyrim.

    Tardigrade, I’d have extreme resistance to basically all climates and can be dried up and rehydrated back to life effectively allowing me to “travel” through time by waiting in death…so my shows are all finished lol.

    I’d also make a great astronaut

    Edit: words

    I would get bit by a cat because i know that’s going to happen anyway. I would choose the power to import thoughts into other people.

    A turtle! 🐢

    • Great lifespan
    • Even better defensive skills
    • No need to go to a dentist on the account of not needing teeth anymore
    • Great software development skills due to Shell Access

    Edit, almost forgot:

    • Wider housing options (unless they, I dunno, fill the sewers with concrete or something)
    • Possibility of martial arts training
