    One thing I’ve noticed in this thread is that everyone is very eager to shit on each other’s requests for superpowers, even though the OP just says “side effect.”

    It doesn’t have to be bad, it just has to be something extra!

    (Why are humans always dragging each other down into the crab pot?)

    I would like my base metabolic rate to drop by 10% to assist with the rising cost of food.

    I have a modest request. It is not so powerful to be as broken as “invincibility” or “being hounded by women,” but it would help me live.

      Your stomach size reduced by 50% so you’ll need to eat more often. 😺

        isnt thats what obese people with bariatric surgey do, at least the ones that dont follow a diet protocol, they eat around the surgery, so they still are fat.

        Oh. Mine already had an inbuilt penalty, in that I got to enjoy less of my favorite foods, but I suppose someone can always come and make it worse. It’s such a modest tweak though.
