$5 million dollars or an OP superpower?

A powerful genie pops up and he lets you choose between two gifts

$5 million dollars tax free

OR

Be able to breathe underwater for indefinite periods of time, if you choose this option you'll continue to be able to breathe normally in-land, the difference is that now you'll be able to breathe both underwater and in-land through your nose as your internal anatomy will be adapted to handle underwater environments, you'll also be able to see crystal clear in the water and swim at fish speeds underwater, will be granted the ability to drink salt water and make it count fresh water too and feast on raw seafood with your new body and digest it like normal food

Which one do you pick?

It’s freedom enough to Not have to work a job I don’t want to, all necessities are covered, sounds pretty freeing to me. I don’t need or want yachts and mansions and that material BS. I want the freedom to not do anything I don’t want to do, know my overhead and necessities are covered for life if i don’t touch the base and aren’t foolish about expenditures.

Sounds like fuck you money to me. All the other shit is gravy,
