Fun Stuff > CHATTER
What is your mild superpower?
LTK:
I have a very robust digestive system that's insensitive to most varieties of spicy food, fat food, sugary food, and metabolises alcohol pretty well too. Foods of questionable degrees of spoilage will merely cause minor perturbations: my stomach will basically tell me, hey, I'm gonna digest this, but I ain't happy about it. Be more careful next time.
Also, I am oddly immune to respiratory distress. I once had a collapsed lung while alone at the lab, which was painful but didn't impair me very much, and I was able to bike the short distance to the emergency room without needing to quicken my breathing. Subsequent x-ray check-ups at the local health center occasionally send me to the ER, and when the doctor on call sees the x-ray, they come looking for the person with shortness of breath. Finding me in the waiting room just reading a book confuses them very much.
pwhodges:
Being alive after having fallen out of a moving car onto my head, having an appendix abscess and peritonitis, having TB, having cancer, and having a heart attack.
(with acknowledgements to the NHS and the invention of antibiotics around the time I was born)

--- Quote from: Morituri on 10 Sep 2017, 10:57 ---I can change lightbulbs in ceiling fixtures without a ladder. Even in old houses with nine-foot ceilings.
I can dead-lift the back end of my car directly out of a parking space when someone parks too close to drive it out.
I am uncommonly resistant to cold, and can participate in ocean swimming without a wetsuit for much of the year (at 38' north latitude).
I'm pretty smart, really good at math and abstract stuff, and able to concentrate for hours without a problem.
My wife and I love each other (Yes, this counts as a superpower. It beats everything above by miles.)
I am a caffeine addict.

You are "The Beast" and I claim my $5 !
Morituri:
i think the first three of those anyway are just a consequence of being huge.
sitnspin:
I've died twice, OD'd three times, and been hit by a car twice. I might be immortal. Also I have a ridiculously uncanny ability to read people.
