in asksteemit •  8 years ago 

Announcing the winner of 10 SBD from the previous week

The question from the previous week was "If you could trade places with anyone alive for one day, who would it be and why?" You can read the full post here

The winner was actually not chosen by me this week, because @God-is-love commented with the following:

"I would trade places with you 😄 Let's trade places when it's time to pick the winner of the contest😄"

So I agreed. And @God-is-love chose @dailygiveaway as the winner of the 10 SBD. Congrats @dailygiveaway!


I also decided to give 5 SBD each to the top voted  answer from @andrupetria, and to @God-is-love for helping to pick this week's winner.
      
      There were a lot of great answers this week, so please take some time to read through all the great responses.

The question for the Steemit community today is: If you could possess any superpower, what would it be and why?

I would choose the ability to shit gold. Just imagine if every morning after you coffee you went to the toilet and boom, you already had your day's work done. Now you could focus on things that really matter, like steemit or playing with your children. Hmmm I think I might be on to something here!

you can do that now dude! Take a 1/10 ounce of pure gold and swallow! Go fishing a day later! BAM you got your superpower :)

I feel bad for the guy that smelts that gold :-p

Bahahaha!

smelts or smells the gold???? )

oh no surprise that's winning response, that's a good one :)

I'm a bit shocked. Hahaha, Cool contest @nextgen622! Thanks

Thanks @nextgen622 and @God-is-love for rewarding me! I really appreciate!

For this week my answer is: Being able to learn super-fast by memorizing everything I read,see or listen around me

Would be nice to understand it and integrate it to. I have heard of many Rabbis seemed to have this ability; will probably do a blog on "The Genius/Gaon of Vilna" soon.

If I had a superpower, I'd choose the power to amplify/nullify my emotions - to not feel the pain of a betrayal, to not feel the hurting of a goodbye, to not feel when your steemit post doesn't earn as much, to feel more in love, to feel more dedicated to things. Such a power would help a lot :)

Deep!

The ability to earn money for using social media... Oh wait, that's Steemit!

You got 13 cents already here! Seems like is getting real :P

😄

I would want to always know the right words to say, so that I could comfort and help people especially in times of need when they might not want to ask out of pride or just thinking they are completely alone, when they are not.

The ability to change the world

Would you like me to vectorize that logo for you? @nextgen622

That would be awesome @epicdesigns. Actually I'll pay you 5 SBD if you could do a nice logo/image for 'Ask Steemit', and I'll pay you another 5 SBD if you can do a cool signature block with 'Follow me @nextgen622 with a nice background image.

No problem, lets link up. Are you in the steemspeak discord or steemit.chat?

Yep nextgen622 in steemit chat

Cool just sent ya a message!

I would chose the ability to heal the sick. I would travel the world healing in poor areas with limited access to doctors

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

It would be healing the sick just like Jesus did.
Because I have been through sickness and have found it to be horrible! :]

I would choose to have 'I Dream of Jeanne's' powers. She can do most anything.

I would want the power to take away pain. It could be spiritual pain mental pain or physical pain. Too many people today are suffering and if I could simply sit in a room with people around me I let their accumulated pain wash through me and drain away from me into nothing and leave them better off for it -that is a superpower I would like to have....

Honestly, Teleportation, it would just make shopping SO easy, and beating the traffic rush, no chances to be late to anything, like work.

I would like to fly, just like Superman! It would be so much better than taking traditional planes. Avoid the airports, baggage claim, customs, lines, etc. I had a vivid dream of flying over the shores and cliffs of Ireland. I could enjoy the beauty of the world from high above whenever I wanted!

Thank you so much @nextgen622 and @god-is-love! I really appreciate it!! As for this week's contest, I would like to be able to create gold from dust so much so that I can become the richest person on earth and remove poverty altogether, once and for all! :)

Thank you for rewarding me! It's very kind of you!

You're welcome. :)

Heal any kind of illness. It would be a gift to humanity, and a test to remain humble.

The ability to swallow people (like Kirby) and take their powers. That way I wouldnt have to limit myself to just one!

I would want the power to stop my gf from nagging -.- Oh how wonderful that would be

Time travel for the perfection of humanity.

I'd like to have the power of persuasion to convince the authorities of my country begin to fight corruption in its own ranks and legitimize the crypto currency at last.

The ability to read minds. :)

Don't you think this would be a torture more than a super-power? Just imagine to be aware of the bad thinkings of everyone that might be close to you or things like this :P

No, If I have the ability to read mind I can control it right? Look at the flip side of the coin, imagine to be aware of all the happy things that everyone is thinking! I think if I could read peoples minds and were aware of the bad, it would give me a chance to help them.
HAHA You like that uh?!??! heee
I see what your are saying though ;)

I would want the power of karma, so people can learn that if you do good, good things happen, do bad, bad things happen. Some people don't think about the consequences of their actions, and I would use my powers to make them realize the things you do effect other people, words kill. Think before you speak, think before you judge someone's situation. You do not know what people face in their life. I am image myself with this power

I thought karma already existed? How can one person "have it"?

I just want to be a bit different. Like back in 2015, this chick sent me a message on Facebook, straight up judging me and calling me names. And she knows nothing about me. I image myself, in away, making her regret what she did. All because I blocked her friend. And her friend is fake as sh*t,

the superpower to make SBD to most expensive currency in the world so all steemian will be the richest in the world

Stealing Karl Pilkington's idea 'Bullshit Man' where he can tell whether someone is lying and keeps everyone honest by threatening to expose them if they do.

To have the superpower of attracting all the WHALES to follow a newbie like me and support my project with their upvotes and resteeming of my posts!

Whale attractant spray - sounds like a great new product.

LOL! If only it existed ! But normally small fishes do attract Whales!!!

My super power would be the ability to time travel so that I could go back in time and slap myself for not investing in crypto back in 2009! Oh what I would give to have this super power!!

I would want the abilty to have endless wishes come true because when you mess up and you will...you can wish yourself out of a bad situation at the speed of thought. And not have to worry about having only one superpower wish!

I would choose the ability to predict the future precisely. A proverbial Kwisatz Haderach, if you will. Why you ask? Well, it would make my mother very proud for sure but also I would never miss another posting from Nextgen622.

If I could have one power...

I would wish to have the ability to reach into my pocket and pull out perfect change for anything I'm buying.

Most people would want to be invisible, or want to fly, I just want to be financially secure...

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I would choose the superpower of life absorbtion, weather it be the smallest micro-organism or a whole living planetary system (example: Earth). Used at will and my discretion for the purpose of calendering all forms of life and the eradication of any threats to me or the things I hold as beloved. Thanks. Don't forget to get real and buy some Steem Power!

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I would want to be on a space ship straight to the moooooon!

This is brilliant! :-D

Buy Dogecoins 😂

I would love teleportation. Something simple that could give me the ability to travel the world and just enjoy all it has to offer. May not be glamorous but I would love it.

I would like to have the power of affection that can change anybody's mind to do something good. “When there is Kindness, there is Goodness. & When there is Goodness, There is MAGIC, There is LOVE.” i hope you have got your answer.

My superpower will be able to, see in my mind, the grafic's shape along the next two days of any criptocoin.

with this i could just buy the other superpowers.

If I had a superpower I would want it to be to make those who hurt others to feel compassion and empathy for their victims so they would never hurt another.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

My superpower would be to instantly help every poor child in the world by just a slip of a finger. (Im an average guy, im 16 i would love helping people now without any superpower but im not that rich at all maybe a bit lower than average)

My answer: I would love to have the superpower to make myself and anyone else 'Content' so that they are always happy - irrespective of ANYTHING that happens. Since happiness is a state of mind, I want to make sure everyone is happy with what they have.

Regards,
A minnow (5 days old and HAPPY in Steemit :-) )

The superpower I would choose is to be able to go back in time. This is so that I could go to the very day Satoshi premiered Bitcoin and start hardcore mining it. If I would be doing this since day 1, I would be a billionaire by now. Also, there are additional perks such as killing baby Hitler and preventing 9/11, but mainly Bitcoin. Yes, Bitcoin.

I would choose teleportation to visit all the places of the world. Spend a pleasant day.

Did you see the movie "Jumpers"?

Fast internet and no lag.

If i had a super-power it would be teleportation. If you watched the movie "jumper". Thats exactly how i imagine jumping. Cool right

I will Develop a Crypto hospital :)

Hmmmmm...... I would want the ability to think anything and then through the "spoken words of (whatever one chooses) " it immediately becomes reality. Does this one need any explanation........ think of the possibilities. Enjoyed!

the power to create money from nothing - oh wait - my virtual currencies are doing that -
next on the list - end poverty

The power to bring back People I lost.

That I would be happy all the time :-)
No matter what....
That's what I want as a super power!

That my touch could immediately take away any person's pain.

invisibility so I can play tricks on people!

I would love to have the ability to share or give the other person instant emotion/feeling that he/she needs (or whatever is necessary)... so that it would be easy to spread love to humanity. If one thinks of hatred or war, I will send them instant feeling of love, care, and peace.

To look into people's souls and see the pain that has shaped their lives and take it all away..

Unrestricted access to information! It would be like seeing the metadata of the world. So, if I wanted to know something about someone, I could just look at him/her for a second and have his likes, dislikes, family history, aspirations, fears and anything else I could possible want to know neatly displayed in a mental interface I could navigate at will. It would also apply to objects, so I could know how, why and by whom something was made.

Knowledge is the greatest superpower!

Superpower to go back to past and correct it.

That would be dope, made a mistake? Go back to correct it :D

omnipresence, "I'm here, no wait I'm over here, nope, I'm all around you!" Such fun could be had, you'd be the ultimate ninja, or anti-ninja.

For this post, THE POWER OF SUPERSTEAM! Take from the whales and give to the Minnows and watch their Steam and SBD Grow Exponentially!

Thank you for your good post. Have a good mood.

understand the impact that i am having on others (mainly to save pain or sorrow)

I would have the power in influence people, have them do what ever I wanted.

A special superpower to make everyone around me happy, so I could be happy for myself too.

Well for me I would like possess a super power "to create Trees".
WHY: Because, as we all knew trees are only thing which generates oxygen on earth. So, for lot of reasons, we humans making them disappear in very fast phase right now which can result huge impact in coming future. On the other hand we can not ask Humans to stop developing.

So, to balance both the things Human needs and Environment, I would like to posses to create trees.

Ethereal time travel: I could find out what really went on when religious prophets supposedly heard God's teachings. I could go back and witness the big bang if it really occurred, and even pre-big bang if there was such a time....I could find out if there really was a clear starting point to the history of the universe! I'd get to see the first lifeforms ever, dinosaurs, the first rudimentary human civilizations. Oh and I could intervene with crazy rulers like Caligula or Hitler when they were still young enough to be salvageable and prevent some of the worst human genocides. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I COULD TRAVEL A DAY OR TWO INTO THE FUTURE AND SEE WHERE THIS POST GETS ME (ಠ_ಠ)

Is there really a place to ask steemit?
Not talking about FAQs but to give the programmers suggestions to add to steemit features.

If not, then that is my 1st request (asksteemit).
But what I wanted was a easier way to search feeds.
I find myself falling back on google search :(

I would want the ability to jump through different dimensions, where time and space are all within my control. I could jump time, do multiple thing in multiple universes. I can verify history, relive moments, peek at the future, and at the same time Steemit live~

(hope i didn't get the dimension concept wrong XD)

The ability to grow any plant from seed to flowering with the snapping of my fingers.

I think I would have to choose teleportation as my superpower. So much time and energy is wasted on traveling. Imagine going anywhere in the blink of an eye rather than hours of standing in line, or dealing with traffic or flying across continents. Also imagine how much less pollution we would have without the need for cars, planes, boats, etc. Yep, it'd have to be instant teleportation as my superpower of choice :)

as we are on Steemit then i want the power to get every whale to upvotes my posts ;-)

Great contest! Thanks for the reward!

I think the best superpower for me would be something like teleportation. I have so many friends and family that now live all over the country and the world. I miss the connections I had, and it would be a lot easier to keep up with friends. And maybe get chores done?! Haha.

The biggest superpower that I would love to have more than most would be...

"The ability to be able to speak the 'Truth' with any repercussions."

Crazy entry. :-p

Flatrider

I would choose the ability to create any object I can conceive out of thin air! I would be like a walking Home Depot haha

I would like a super power of fulfilling wishes...
Because I have always dreamt of helping everyone with everything :)

I've been in Matt Trainer's "The Trainer Method" where we have been defining our existing superpowers. I'm Neal the Analytical. If I could add or refine it, would like to know good from better from best, in order to always make the right/best decisions.

Flight. I want to fly. Wait, will I lost the power of fall🤔

To erase all religion.

Super power to make the rightful, deserving minnows to have a triple or quadruple instant increase on their daily earnings so they can start to uplift their poor economic and domestic conditions. As one minnow comment: "One thing I've noticed that the more steem power a person has the more influence. I'm thinking that the people that have invested heavily in Steem have so much more influence but that takes cash and if I had a lot of cash I wouldn't be here trying to earn steem."

I'd prefer being able to teleport/ time travel- see the future or go back to the past and correct my mistakes...
