Are you purposly being obtuse, or is this another cultural thing the Russian mathematician doesn't quite grasp?

assuming that our power is the only thing different after this takes place (we dont jump into the marvel universe or w/e) energy can't be created or destroyed. where does my energy come from.

big question i forgot to ask. does anyone know we have this new power, do we have to tell anyone, is anyone responsible for our powers (i.e. government, scientists)

Everytime you use your power, a loved one dies. Nah, I don't know.

Not unless you told them. Assume you are totally unique. That's why in the poll from the Kansas City Uncle episode I chose the mind-reading one, it's the only one out of those five where you could use it without being blatantly obvious, but in that same vein, it's probably the one that would be least cool and life-changing.

You can easily kill hitler by going back to when he's 12 y/o and abduct+murder him on the way back from school. You don't have to wait until he's the leader of the Third Reich and lives in a bunker.

but i still have to travel to germany and find a young boy named adolf

A lot of people seem to work so they can afford to travel. Plus you can just put pop corn in the microwave, go chill at the space station for a few, then be back for the pop corn.

yes but would you really spend this opportunity to not be bored when you make popcorn. what if you chose energy manipulation and just cook each piece in your hand before you eat it.

[Invincibility] would probably be my choice given that I don't love anything. And I'm sure my psyche would cope with loss the 5th time around.

this seems logical, especially seeing as (taken from the man from earth) that after a couple of years they would seem like days and you can't get to love something after a couple of days (well you could theoretically but i couldnt)

Do you look middle-aged forever so you never get carded or have to go through any other teenage bullshit? No deal if you look like a mummy.

and all of your thoughts on these powers are the exact thoughts i would expect from a Windex plumber.
that's right, i brought it up.

Telepathy sounds cool and can help with dating situations. Instead of having to assume a chick is looking at you in a bar or flirting you can just read her mind and see if she thinks you are hot or not.

You need to catch up on shows.

Why does it matter? It is still a fun topic to comment on
