You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.

This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.

"Ha ha ha, let's throw a bucket of water on this nerd!"

"Don't make me wet. You wouldn't like me when I'm wet."

Gets bigger but not any heavier or stronger

[-] phed@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago

sounds like a she hulk porn lol

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 28 points 6 days ago

Fuck you, I'm doing both and glowing harder the bigger I get.

There we go, Halloween sorted.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

I guess the grow bigger in the water thing because I can't imagine how hard it would be to fall asleep if I'm glowing.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's night half the time, and I'll be really visible if I'm glowing whether I want to be or not. So, definitely the second one. Prolonged water contact in a visible place is easier to avoid, if needed.

I plan to re-enact Gulliver pulling along the Lilliputian armada.

The second sounds like it has far more room for stupid bullshit, so that one

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

How bright would I glow? Enough to read by?

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 days ago

Yeah, like a dim yellowish greenish light that you can just about read by

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

My eyesight's pretty weak, so I'm not sure that would do it... but on the other hand I could navigate the house at night without bumping my shins on furniture. I think that's enough to sell me on glowing.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 14 points 6 days ago

You'd have moths flocking to you at night, though, which might be awkward.

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

That would be a definite minus.

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 9 points 6 days ago

It might be harder to navigate. Looking past your own glowing eye sockets could make your eyes adjust to the closer, brighter light and leave you night blind

[-] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 days ago

Do you grow to a maximum size in water? Or do you just keep growing the longer you stay in contact with water? If the latter then I think glowing in the dark is the less inconvenient option.

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 days ago

Yes, to a maximum size about 3 times your regular size.

[-] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago

Then it would still be less inconvenient to glow in the dark since showering would become a real problem.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 6 days ago

It does say slowly, we really need more information about the rates at which you grow and shrink. Still I think the growing in water thing at least seems to have some potential positives whereas glow in the dark is just annoying.

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I imagine guys would do it just so they could have temporarily larger penises.

I know I would.

"Babe, I'mma wreck your holes tonight, let me hop in the bath."

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

Would you be able to stay hard when you grow? We haven’t asked enough questions.

what the fuck is it with lemmy and "holes" like thats somehow hot or something

like all of these lemmynsfw posts are like "look at my holes" and "what would you do to my holes" and its just girls spreading their ass cheeks open to show.. well, you get it

I just find it kind of a gross way to try to be sexy

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Well, I was intentionally writing it to be crass. I would never tell a girl that I care about that "I'm gonna wreck her holes" unless the situation explicitly called for it.

Does the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?

Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I'd grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain

Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water

is this 'glow in the dark' like i'm radioactive and constantly glow a little bit, or is this 'glow in the dark' like i absorb a little bit of light and slowly re-emit it, so if i wait long enough in darkness i'll stop glowing?

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

You constantly glow with a dim yellow-green light, just bright enough to read in

I assume hyper-stretchy clothing isn't a reality yet? Getting caught in a rain storm would be inconvenient. I think I would still go with water growing. I need near complete darkness to sleep. And glowing skin would be hella annoying in a movie theater.

Wait, how do I drink water? Get slightly bigger then shrink back?

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Fun fact, we already glow in the dark, just not in a way we can see.

Bigger when wet would be kinda neat, but if it's based off of toy dinosaurs then the glow doesn't last all night. So I can take the glow and use it for sick pranks and cosplays or whatever. Be like alien Mr Burns.

[-] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago

"You look a little small. Are you drinking enough water?"

[-] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Would the insides of my eyelids glow? Cause fuck that if that’s the case.

Sex would be weird, but probably a good kind. Until it's painful.

If I put part of me in say a glass of water then would it just be the part in the glass that slowly grew and how fast and how much.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

You’re gonna put your dick in a glass of water, huh?

I can imagine glowing in the dark would be both a blessing and a curse depending on the circumstances. If you're lost in a cave that could be lifesaving. Trying to sleep in the dark though? That's gonna be tough haha. I think I'd still choose to glow in the dark though so I could fuel sweet rave parties

I like glow in the dark stuff, but I also like to be sneaky, so...idk. Conflicted.

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Do you get bigger by absorbing air (thereby increasing your buoyancy) or by absorbing water (with the opposite effect)?

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago
[-] kindred@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

Do I feel bloated when I take on all this water weight?

I will bathe in the ocean and at long last fulfill my ambition of punching mother gia in the face.

[-] JayFonduh@lemmy.org 6 points 6 days ago

Why can I not come to a conclusion on this decision...

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

Would these powers be supernatural, or bound by the laws of physics? Like, does glowing require extra calories? And does my electrolyte balance go out of whack when I’m in water?

"Okay but that's a bad analogy because I just turn ten stories tall when I get wet."
