    My first thought was also languages, but all the classes for a bachelors in nuclear engineering would be nice. Huge passion of mine and I can’t really pursue a degree at this point in my life

      Poke your hand until you hit the corner of a seam. Do the same with the other hand on an adjacent corner.

      Bring hands together so both corners touch.

      Now unfold the corner in one hand onto the other hand.

      Smooth it out. Repeat with the untouched corners.

      You can do it one more time or just fold from there

    I’d love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I’ve seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.

    Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.

      This is a neat idea until you’re in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need

        I only speak one language fluently and one language extremely poorly.

        The number of times I’ve been able to come up with the word I want in my second language and completely blanked on it in my native language baffles my mind.

      If I could ‘cheat’ and say ‘I know every language in the world’, and that included programming languages and things like scientific notation as a language, I’d take that in a heartbeat. If not, I’d take programming, as at least then I can create things and make money.

      If speaking every language included dead and forgotten languages too though, then it would be a very tough choice.

      This sounds very useful until you realize you still don’t want to talk to people in any language.

      If it was just one language and writing system as a choice, I might say Japanese.

      There are so many different characters in their writing as symbols instead of phonetic sounds, that bookstores in Japan are divided into sections, in which one has books that use… say 500 characters, then another section with books that use 1200 characters, or 5000, or 10,000, or more!
      To read Japanese or Chinese with a mastery of over 10,000 symbols might be my choice. The richness and depth of those writings must be something incredible.

      My second choice, for shits ‘n’ giggles, might be something like Sumerian or Akkadian, in the original Cuneiform!

    I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn’t going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I’d say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.

    People don’t realise how helpless you’ll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they’re doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.
