I'd say it's a toss-up between a mongoose and a honey badger.

Ricky ticky tavvy was a fast son of a bitch.

And honey badger just don't care.

🤔

Mongoose.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 6 months ago

A Sloth and have Sloth abilities.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

Me also. Be nice to sleep 8 hours again and feel good in the morning.

[-] wallybeavis@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

A small spider bite, which gives me the ability to punch someone in the mouth through their TV or computer screen....It has always been one of my ideas for an online business

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The good: Honestly spider was a pretty solid choice, but I'll go with an eagle for the flight and government immunity

The bad: A human (no powers)

The ugly: A wolf (furry)

Spider would be cool tbh. Tho what if you get their fucked up reproductive process where the female lays dozens or hundreds of eggs at once and also maybe tries to Eat her male partner, depending on species.

Or like, you lose your teeth and have to eat by injecting caustic fluid inside Whole Organisms to dissolve their tissues and slurp them up with your Newly-Formed palps/pedi-palps.

You might get venom, which is cool, but most spiders are only venomous to other arthropods because most spiders hunt primarily arthropods (occasionally small amphibians or reptiles for larger species, a couple tarrantulas are known to opportunistically hunt rodents or bird hatchlings, but they don't have venom to begin with, so whatever). Unless you get a black widow or brown recluse or something. A dose of that vemon from a human sized Black Widow or Brown Recluse chimera (the Type of Thing you are now) would like 99% be enough to kill a person

fish and breathing underwater

[-] ClusterBomb 4 points 6 months ago

A chameleon so I can get the ability to camouflage. Well as long as I don't move. Also I think I can grab the TV remote controller with my tongue. Or do insane tricks throwing food and catching it with my tongue. And well... maybe other nice things to find out with that tongue. 🔞

[-] debil@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Dog. I could train myself to find stuff (drugs and money, for starters) with my excellent sense of smell.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago

I want the deep dive abilities of a Sperm Whale. Able to hold my breath for 90 minutes and survive 100+ atmospheres of pressure.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Alternately, get bitten by a sperm and spend your life drowning in pussy.

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
  1. Sperm is not an animal.

  2. Sperm will drown in lotion, tissue paper, toilets, mouths, assholes, various fruit, couches apparently, condoms, and probably an order of magnitude or few more places than just this small list I've constructed.

  3. Sperm don't have a mouth and thus cannot bite.

All I know that if this works intraspecies, dentists would collect all the powers of various people through incidental biting like Megaman.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Unfortunately, the bites also transfer all mental/emotional baggage.

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Ill throw wombat into the mix because I want to flip trucks dig tunnels and shit cubes.

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

A platypus. Because they're so wild and unique, who knows what powers that would grant.

A cat so I don't have to explain why I need alone/chill time at home. It would be cool to be able to jump higher and dunk when around basketball hoops too.

[-] solrize@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Nobody has mentioned radioactive spiders? It was the first thing I thought of.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Meh. That's been done.

[-] astrsk@kbin.run 3 points 6 months ago

A predatory bird, which would give me extra cones and rods to see more colors / spectrum as well as possibly telescopic vision.

A shark, so I can swim better and breathe underwater. Then maybe I won’t be so afraid of large bodies of water.

I'd get bitten by a gnat, and hope for mind control.

Edit: Y'all, the rules doesn't say there has to be a correlation between the animal and the super power. People out here wanting to get bitten by big dangerous animals smdh

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I would go for a mosquito bite, and hope to recive teleportation. Though I do hope to keep my clothes when I teleport.

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

The mosquito had malaria. 😞

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Electric eel. Free electricity go brr

[-] HEXN3T 3 points 6 months ago

I'd love to be bitten by some mad scientist named Francis and become immortal. A reign of absolute terror would befall this world.

:3

[-] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Cat. The power to flexibly laze on any surface, anywhere, anytime.

[-] Persen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Human/dolphin/pig i am already good in the intelligence department, but it's never too much or something like a turtle, I would live around 200 years, but would have severe motor problems. Intelligence, time and knowledge are the most important abilities imo.

Red sea urchin. Long life and limb regeneration.

I don't want to turn back into a baby like those who chose the immortal jellyfish.

Least Weasel. Super powers would be a human version of the weasel war dance and boundless energy for about 4 hours per day. Weaknesses would be my ADHD and sleeping 20hrs per day.
