NONE! I ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY! I got high detail vision, taste and smell and a bit super hearing. My partner has among other things such a good hearing they hear electricity in the walls. Life for them is a nightmare!
Being autistic isnt fun :(
I really need supervision.
No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me
Super enhanced proprioception.
General execution and even general learning of anything that requires physical movement (from sports, driving, writing/typing, doing surgery, videogames...) would be massively improved.
There are aids to enhance things like vision and hearing, but there are 0 aids currently for proprioception.
I'm definitely picking super vision. I'd even settle for perfectly normal vision.
Just thinking the same thing as I had to put my glasses on to read this thread.
I just want the ability to close my ears the same as I close my eyes, thanks.
Greetings from the neurodivergent spectrum!
Quick question, can I also have the opposite of these?
sure, why not? This is a theoretical after all
Then let's imagine a cyclops type limiter of sensory input, that would be awesome.
I would argue that instead of wishing for impairment to cope with the overstimulation, you just wish for the part of your brain that handles sensory input to be able to handle your normal sensory load without issue.
Oh, nice thought. A dedicated sensory co-brain.
Super hearing, to the point of echolocation (Which apparently some blind people can actually do in a very basic form as a learned skill!?)
Maybe you could save Foggy Nelson
Now it’s just avocado at law.
I have really good hearing and it honestly sucks sometimes because you can't really not hear some things when you really, really, really wish you couldn't.
With super-vision at least I can close my eyes.
Spunds like you need Super Hearing Pro. Now with the additional upgrade of in built ear-plugs.
I feel that. I never leave home without my earplugs.
Like Mel Gibson in What Women Want?
Like me in Cheap Basement Suite With Paper Thin Walls and Gooner Roommate.
There’s also superpain, but I don’t think many would want that…
Someone’s BDSM session is about to reach new heights.
Vision. As I've gotten older I have noticed that my eyes aren't what they used to be, and I find it annoying. I'd love to compensate for that.
Assuming supertaste enables me to make broccoli taste like Pad Thai. I’ll go with that one.
If it only heightens the sense - then probably less likely to pick that one.
It makes you super tasty. Unfortunately, once the cannibals learn about you, you'll be forced to live on the run.
What? Broccoli tastes good though…
As a guy who wears glasses, heightened vision would be awesome.
Super hearing would be great, too. I'd love to be able to hear all the nuances of music and be able to hear it without turning it up.
Considering I’ve got sensory sensitivity to almost all of that (yay being ND) any further would sound like hell.
I would enjoy the enhanced ability to feel hunger cues appropriately or have a superhuman ability to interpret and react to my inner feelings, beyond even neurotypical capacities.
Super smelling. Not for any real advantage. My regular sense of smell just sucks.
I have what you may call supersmell, and it drives me insane sometimes as usually people around me couldn't smell them until they take a closer sniff, while I'd just smell it first thing. And no, sadly, I wasn't talking about nice smell.
Supervision for sure. No more glasses!
just give some rich doctor guy thousands of dollars to shine lasers into you're eyeballs and you're good to go
Depends if I can turn it on and off at will, or if it's on all the time. Even super vision would likely result in a sensory overload, even seeing the inside of your eyelids when you close your eyes!
Vision makes the most sense for something useful and marketable
None. I'd be happy with seeing and hearing properly.
I have stronger than average taste and smell. Do not recommend. Various things taste pretty awful, I'm more sensitive to smells and even things I like can become overwhelming.
I used to be able to see better in the dark than anyone I know, but that has faded with age. I've also always been somewhat colorblind so fixing that might be nice. I would also fix my hearing being kinda wonky (as in basically useless whenever multiple things are producing sound at once).
I'm tempted to want some kind of better balance or electromagnetic perception (though that one could be awful for the same reason I wouldn't want to see much beyond what I do on the visible light spectrum since UV radiation and infrared could be a wall of noise).
hearing, because we cant hear like ultrasonic or infrasonic frequencies the way some animals can, plus hearing things on the otherside of the planet, ability to control or filter unnecessary noises, barring supernatural abilities as well. plus vision that we can see x rays and gamma rays, and UV without a medical disease, microscopic vision.
Oh what I wouldn’t give for microscopic vision
like psychic vision how they can see into the atomic structures, or past that.(in voyager kes ability developed to the point where she can see the energy state of the universe, or beyond)
Oh I wish I was thinking that deep, I’m blind as hell so I want a built in zoom
Superfeel. I want to feel a speck of dust and know someone farted 2 km away.
There are many dimensions to each of our senses. Just taking super-vision as an example, would that involve seeing very small things, seeing things at great distances, seeing through things or around corners, seeing more colors and/or wavelengths of light, seeing in 360°, seeing more subtle things than others see (like being able to see when someone's heart rate increases), processing what you see quicker (for quicker reactions), photographic memory, seeing things others can't (like magnetic fields or temperature), greater "frame rate", seeing in the dark, a HUD with information display, seeing ghosts, or something else entirely I haven't even thought of?
Super hearing. So I can actually hear what people are saying in cafes
You could catch so many top secret agents discussing their top secret plans!
Supervision?
Since when is being a manager a super power?
Superfeel = congratulations, now you prematurely ejaculate and flu season is hell
supervision so i can finish my licensure without having to pay $50 a week to talk to the supervisor
the ability to feel where all your body parts are (you can close your eyes, wave your hands around, and touch your knee)
Super proprioception, the ability to know how good is your hairdo without looking.
Nah, I want the vision one.
Being ND it feels that my senses are already too much sometimes and they become even more amplified by the amount of stress I experience. Honestly I'd rather have the option to decrease the intensity of sensory experiences than increase it. 😅
