jiffdrie's weekly power poll 2

for this weeks power poll we have

1. controlling the weather with your mind- your neighbours would love you
2. not getting tired and not needing sleep. This includes you're muscles not hurting of using them too much

 

isn't this technically number 3?

and wheres my poll!

take out the laundry when you get home from school or no television for you young man!

 

i added the poll, and yes it technically is number 3

 

Tough one. I'd probably go for controlling weather. Not requiring sleep would just result in mass boredom. However, muscles not getting tired? I wouldn't tie that in with not requiring sleep. They're not really related.

I won't vote until I learn more about the not sleeping/muscles never hurting, etc.

 

and the laundry?

not needing sleep would be awesome, you could actually do an all nighter without regretting it, plus i'd have time to earn some money.

 

Absence of sleep. Sloth is probably my foremost sin, and to do away with it would be pretty nice. Not sure how many times I've blown people off to catch a few hours' worth of a nap.

 

the muscles never hurting is in conjunction wth the never getting tired. You can run endlessly then. with not getting tired only you can just run a few more minutes

 

plus you wouldn't really have time to recooperate

 

You'd still get a hangover... And you'd never be able to pass out.

That's not actually getting tired, it's just that it uses the same word. Like.... Can't think of an example right now. I'll get back to you.

 

i know it is not actually getting tired, thats why i mentioned the muscles aswell

 

Hmmmm.... K. Clarify it a bit more though. Would you be able to sprint a marathon and stuff?

 

i'm guessing it would be more not getting worn out long term.

like the lactic buildup would still stop you from doing that.

 

no sleep, definately.
think of all the stuff i could do at night if i didn't need sleep! O O

...no, not that, you sick mind you <.<

 

sure, if you get enough energy drinks on the way

it is not so much unlimited energy as it is not feeling every bit of energy being drained away

 

But that would mean your muscles still get tired. So the option is not having to sleep as well as being really fit?

Meh, regardless, I like my sleep, and the ability to control the weather would be awesome. If we were winning a cricket match, I could make sure it's not rained out. If we're losing I could rain it out. Could make excuses for you to stay inside or go outside. You could rig the weather so it looks really threatening, then clear it up and be the only one at the beach, and also be able to control the surf. You'd be able to relieve droughts and floods, bushfires and hurricanes. If you wanted to throw a snowball at someone you could instantly make one fall into your hand, and I'd be able to hit you with a bolt of lightning right now!

 

I don't see that no sleep/tiring working... You'd probably have to make it infinite energy but that would also exlude need to eat etc. If you just don't feel tired at all you could burn out everything you have and collapse at any point - but you don't sleep to regain energy so that would probably mean you've used ALL you had.

Also sleep isn't just physical rest, it also helps rest mind, gather thoughts/experiences etc - what about these?

 

you dont need those either


you just dont feel tired even when your energy is low, it isnt healthy with too low energy but you can restore that by eating

 

But you don't know when it gets low, because you're never tired

 

indeed, but if you have brains you'll just eat 5 times a day(you need power for the night as well)

 

That's a given, but if you want to make some use of the ability beside adding several hours to the "day", you'll be using much more energy and it's very easy to misjudge your own endurance. And you're not getting to learn from mistakes...
The way it is, weather control all the way
