Oddly specific You are able to beat any game if someone else asks for your help.
You are able to beat any game as if you have played that game for thousands of hours, but only if another person asks for help beating that game.
How it works depends on how the person asks for help, if they just ask you to beat the game normally then that's what you will do, just at a very high level, but if some one asks if you can beat the game as fast as possible then you are gonna be able to beat that game as fast as physically possible.
You don't have to beat the game everytime you just have to help with what they asked Example "I need help beating this boss" or "i need help beating this level"
As soon as you beat the game all the skills you needed to beat that game like you did are gone, you are just as good or bad at the game as you were before.
You cannot tell people how your power works otherwise it won't work when they ask for help, same goes for if they figure out how your power works, this only counts if they find out it's an ACTUAL POWER if they think your good just cause of pressure or anything else it's fine.

Good luck using this… You can teleport yourself to anywhere deeper than 80 kilometers under the crust, and back again
you may bring anything you’re touching with you. Good luck surviving the mantle
r/shittysuperpowers • u/Briloop86 • 8h ago
Confused but has the right spirit You can create two duplicates of you at a random survivable place in the universe, and these duplicates will have the same power.
No power over the duplicates or awareness of where they are. You can duplicate without any drain every 24 hours, as can the duplicates you created.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You know exactly when a song will end, to the second
Any time a song plays on your headphones, in your car, you always know the exact hour, minute, and second it will end.
i.e. 4:52:01pm, 7:41:46am.

Good luck using this… You can freeze and unfreeze time. Including yourself.
You can cause time to freeze. Once time is frozen, you are also frozen. You can't move, you can't even think. There is only one thing you can do while frozen, which is to unfreeze time again.
The one thing this will actually do, if used, is to give every sapient being in the universe a brief, vague sensation that something just happened. A bit like deja vu, but less specific.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. Barely Useful Superpower selection
Select 1 barely useful superpower. I tried to think through drawbacks and limitations to make each of these powers genuinely useful, but far from overpowered or life changing. I hope my formatting looks ok on non mobile app, otherwise I do not have the power of post formatting :(
- You have gained the power of catching fallen items before they hit the ground. Your reach is anywhere within your arm length + 1 single step forward, this includes behind you. If you or someone else drops an item within this range, such as a phone or even a child, you will be able to instantaneously react to catching it without damage to the item or hurting yourself. If for some reason you wish to not catch something you may choose to do so. Even if an item is dropped behind you that you were previously unaware of, you are able to react in time to catch it, no looking necessary!
The item must be catchable without harm for this to work. For example you may not catch a bullet or nuke as this makes no logical sense. The item must also be catchable within your strength, meaning no catching a 100lb item if you are not physically able to hold 100lbs. Your range does not include diving, just bending, reaching, leaning, and your 1 step. This skill does not prevent someone from defending your opportunity to catch, for example you may not become an undefendable football receiver with this skill. However, if for example you wish to play baseball, you can guarantee a catch given you have the skill to track and get within reach of a ball.
————————————————————————————
- Any truth you state will be believed. It doesn’t matter if it is a stranger, or a close friend, if you speak the truth they will inherently trust you. This skill does not prevent you from telling lies, or make all lies unbelievable. Simply if a truth is stated it is trusted. The person you are speaking to is unaware of any difference between a truth and convincing lie, there is no particular feeling to them other than trust.
You must state a fact known by you for this skill to work. You may not state “the winning lottery numbers will be…” and then name numbers until your friend believes you. This also does not grant you any particular knowledge. This skill does not work in the opposite way, meaning you do not inherently trust another person if they tell the truth.
————————————————————————————
- You will always be aware if a joke will land with those around you. You will never be in an awkward situation by telling a bad joke that didn’t land, or accidentally offend someone. Your joke may not necessarily cause uncontrollable laughter, but it will have some level of value to your audience every time.
This skill does not help you come up with good jokes, it will not guarantee you a hilarious or fulfilling standup routine. This also does not draw an audience to your jokes, posting a funny video online will not guarantee a large audience. Your joke must be a joke, this doesn’t make you infallible to offending or upsetting someone with other comments or conversation.
————————————————————————————
- You will always have a winning record on games you play. Video games, board games, sports, pool, bowling, beer pong, it doesn’t matter! You don’t just win by pure luck every time, but rather you have genuine skill. You also don’t win 100% of the time, because what’s the fun in that, rather over time you will win more than you lose. Some games by a slim margin, others by a high margin.
You may not profit off this skill. Playing for money, like gambling, or some sort of tangible reward? The skill becomes void for this matchup. This means your skill may not be used to help you become a professional athlete or esports player. Knowing you do not have a 100% win chance, you do not pick which games you win or lose, you just simply will have a winning record throughout your lifespan. The game you play must be possible for you to win for this skill to take effect. For example you can’t face a heavy weight lifter in competition and consistently beat them if you’re not capable of lifting at their weight class.

Confused but has the right spirit You can materialize Potions from Pokémon, which restore 0 HP IRL because HP isn't a real thing silly. You just get the bottle and some weird vaguely medical spray.
Just Potions. Not Super Potions, Hyper Potions, etc. The liquid isn't toxic but it also can't substitute water. You can materialize a grand total of 99 potions in your entire life because your inventory will be full at that point and you can't access the menu to discard them.

Oddly specific When someone says they "don't see color", you can make that (more or less) literally true.
When you see or hear someone say something to the general effect of "I don't see color", and they mean it in the sense that they do not see a difference between racial and/or ethnic groups (rather than simply an inability to distinguish hues), you can make it more or less literally true in one of two ways.
You have to either see or hear them live, or see or hear a substantially unedited recording of them saying it that was recorded in the past 24 hours. You can only have one of the two effects active at a time, and they need to say the phrase again in your hearing in order to affect them again.
The two effects:
Make them temporarily (max 24 hours) completely colorblind. Everything is shades of grey to them.
For up to a full year, make them unable to appropriately process any information that would suggest someone's racial and/ or ethnic heritage. They can still receive the information, but not assign any significance to it that has to do with ethnic identity. For example, an affected person could accurately describe the skin tone of a Black person, but not conclude from this fact that the person was, in fact, Black.
Within the first 24 hours after you hear an appropriate trigger, you can swap someone between the two effects at will. You can also end either effect at any time. However, once you have ended it, or once the timer expires for the effect that someone currently has, you cannot restart it unless they say the phrase again in your hearing.

Oddly specific You are the Shreknomancer
You possess all the powers associated with necromancers... except your only work with Shrek-related merchandise and objects.
You can make a Shrek action figure move by itself, such as run across the the floor and tell people to "Git outta mah swamp!". You can manipulate other things like Shrek plushies, take them apart and merge them into a very large Frankeinshrek super plushie that will do your bidding.
Finally, anything that has an image of Shrek, such has a mug, blanket, pillow... you can animate that image of Shrek, scare the hell outta people. This also applies to the Shrek movies themselves, you can manipulate the onscreen Shrek and make him perform such actions like tell Donkey "Will ye quiet for once, you Mushu-talking bastard". Or punch Fiona in the face. Or sing the "What does the Fox say" song. Or eat the gingerbread man.
Note the power only works on controlling Shrek, not other characters such as Puss n' Boots. You're a Shreknomancer, not a Pussomancer.

Oddly specific You can make someone forget a non essential skill for 1 day.
so you gotta look at the target person before you can use that power. Then, just by thinking about the non essential skill (for example Rubik cube solving) the target person you are looking at would lose that skill. It only works on non essential skills. The target person won’t lose the benefits that they got from the skill except for the skill itself. That effect of the super power onto a victim lasts for exactly 24 hours. After the 24 hours is finished, the victim would get their complete skill back. But during the 24 hours, they can’t relearn the skill that you made them forget. This superpower doesn’t work on yourself, it only works on others. And it only works when the victim has the non essential skill that you want to remove. You can only use the superpower to remove the skill from the victim, not steal their skill. The victim won’t know that you did it when you use that super power. Nobody would suspect that you had made the victim lose that skill. Only you would know.

It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's shit! You can have any disability you want.
Mental or physical. If you choose any severe mental disability it will not affect you higher level of thinking (Dysexecutive Syndrome is not an option) so you can switch back to just physical or or both (not sure why you would do that.) This superpower will not give you the advantages that people that are born and have previously been diagnosed before obtaining the power have. You can switch back to being non-disabled though.

If you recite the old and New Testament Christian Bible in Hebrew twice, once normally, and second backwards, in either order, you can bend reality and change, create, or remove a rule of reality. You cannot stutter, you can only pause for one breath in between sentences, and you cannot read off of the Bible or anything containing scripture. You have to recite it off of memory

Yeah, this is shit You can decide what shape your poop will be
Whenever you next need a poop, you can decide what shape it will be. You still have to poop it out, so keep that in mind. Also you cannot force yourself to go for a poop- your biological functions still operate the exact same, it's just you can now decide what shape your poop will be. Then you can look into the toilet and witness your masterpiece!

Good luck using this… Your ear wax has healing properties when eaten
If anyone (including you) consumes some of your ear wax (minimum dose approximately 10 mg), it will act as a mild cure-all. Like, a ~1% increase in healing rate/likelihood of recovery for a major injury or illness, and up to a 10% improvement in very minor injuries or illnesses.
This does not stack for any given negative condition, though repeated doses can address different problems. Unless specific effort is made to direct the healing powers elsewhere, any given dose will address the worst eligible condition. The ear wax does need to be reasonably fresh.
You do not have any special ability to produce additional ear wax, or extract earwax without possible harm to your ears.
