    I’d upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

    Speaking Korean, I live here for 4 years already and despite pushing moderatelly to learn it, I don’t speak it at all. Everything I learn I forget very fast again.

      You’d need both time travel and teleportation, or else you’ll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn’t a stationary object

        Time travel already is teleportation.

        Actually, teleportation would be more powerful than time travel, since you can travel through different times as well with teleportation as an ability, but you can only teleport to a different time with time travel.

            it’s all relative. definitively relative.

            that said, if you go to the matrix and ask for the power, it’s not liable to give you half-assed solutions that don’t take the details into account. Therefore it would already take into account the relative displacement and correct accordingly.

    If I could have something magical: I’d like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through

    If it’s gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what’s going on bc I forget shit, but it’s not forgotten I just didn’t remember that memory at the right time even though I had it…

    Talking to people hasn’t been going well lately

      I thought the issue there was the processor not being able to run a single core long enough.

      Or maybe it’s just how the operating system works?

      Have you tried Linux? I use Arch btw.

        I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.

          Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…

      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.

          This is why I learned the shit out of English: If I forget a word, there’s like 6 more words that are close enough to the one I forgot.

      I’d make tens of dollars as the scholar to decode the Harrapan/Indus Valley script!

      Or I make makes millions as a YouTuber decoding the Voynich manuscript…

      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!

    Whatever skills would result in what the deep mediators to control autonomic functions like heartrate and could mimic death. I don’t just want the control thing though I want the whole kit that comes with it which would likely have some martial arts. figure like and ideal shaolin type of thing.

      Sounds like you need to download pretty much everything ever written on mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine. That info dump would also have to include a bunch of stuff that hasn’t even been invented yet, and probably won’t be within the next 500 years.

      Once you have all that in your mind, you’ll be incredibly frustrated that modern day technology is at least 500 years away from what you actually need. You would need to build a bunch of quantum electronics fabrication factories so that you can build the real factories that actually produce the machines you need for assembling the very first brain reading and recording machine.

      Although, since you have all that revolutionary science and tech in your head, you should use that to fix global warming, world hunger, cancer and a bunch of other stuff so that you can raise the trillions of capital needed for building the main project.
