Mod Announcement [META] Friendly reminder that this sub is for low tier & shitty superpowers?

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hi r/shittysuperpowers family,

Just a friendly reminder for all our friends out there, new and old.

I see a lot of comments on posts in this sub asking, "how is this shitty?".

Whilst sometimes, this is a fair question. Other other times, it feels like the subs purpose is lost on some, due to it being called r/shittysuperpowers

This sub is for both "shitty" & low tier superpowers. The use of the word "shitty" here is more of a playful term for not being very good, rather than it being all out useless and/or unusable.

If you read the rules of the sub, it states that the power can't give you a major benefit. Not that it gives you no benefit at all.

Hope this helps everyone align with the values of the sub. As always if you've got any questions for the mods, send us a modmail, or you're welcome to ask questions on this post here.

Have fun & stay shitty, Mods.

Mod Announcement [META] Welcome to the superpower universe

2 Upvotes

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR MODERATORS

Hi friends of the superpower subs,

TLDR We now mod heaps of superpower subs, and you should join them all. Here is a quick rundown...

r/shittysuperpowers r/notashittysuperpower r/midtiersuperpowers r/godtiersuperpowers r/cursedsuperpowers r/satantiersuperpowers r/superpoweralchemists

A few months ago now, we had an opportunity to take over moderation of r/shittysuperpowers & we've been slowly chipping away there trying to make improvements. (This includes the introduction of its partner sub r/notashittysuperpower )The sub is seeing continued growth, and got us thinking what other superpower subs are on here?

Initially we got the other big two, r/godtiersuperpowers & r/midtiersuperpowers with views to being able to direct posts between subs. But, we were still getting posts that didn't fit any of these three. So, we looked again.

After some more behind the scenes work, we now also have r/cursedsuperpowers , r/satantiersuperpowers & r/superpoweralchemists

We hope to tie them all together to create a superpower universe over time. But for now, there should be a sub that is suitable for any post you want to make. All the names are intuitive enough, so it should be obvious which post goes to which sub.

To get started, we suggest you ensure that you have joined all the subs mentioned on this post. Once you've done this, get posting your powers, commenting or just simply lurking and reading along.

We will continue to provide updates as this universe takes shape. We know there are other superpower subs on here, but feel we've got enough for the moment to keep everyone happy.

Happy to take onboard any feedback you may have, just be respectful when doing so, please. These subs and reddit in general is a place for everyone, not just you or I.

We know there is still a heap of cleaning up to do on some of the subs, but thought we'd release this into the wild first, and tidy up as we go.

If you have any questions, or comments just drop a comment here, or send us a modmail.

Welcome to the superpower universe, Your mods u/late_to_redd1t & u/JJStone_95

Good luck using this… You can force people to use the word "Elephant" in a single sentence

17 Upvotes

Once an hour per person but no cooldown between people. The use of the word Elephant has to make sense both in context and grammatically. If it's not possible for a sentence to be said with the word Elephant that makes at least a small amount of in-context sense, then they are silent until the hour is up. Adding something akin to "by the way I really need to say the word elephant" to the end of a sentence is possible but only if they're aware of your power. If used on non-English speakers, they must instead use their language's word for Elephant. If their language does not have a word for Elephant, they are immune to this power.

Based🗿 You are able switch bodies*

14 Upvotes

In a situation where you are being tailed , you can hide behind a wall and switch . What will happen to your body and the person you switch with ? Nothing you just look like them . Only thing is it must be the opposite gender . (Sorry to say this , i dont know how trans people work so to avoid any paradoxical/confusing situations ill give them necromancy on british soil)

Yeah, this is shit For every leaf you step on that makes a crunch, there’s a 5% greater chance that the next leaf you step on will be crunchy

Upvotes

If the percent goes over 100%, it is garrenteed to crunch x%/100%-1 times and the rest of the percent is how likely it is to crunch again. The higher percent, the more satisfying the crunch is. A leaf is something that grows on a tree that is usually flat.

Based🗿 Somewhat passive chair summoning

9 Upvotes

If you ever need a chair for any reason it will spawn close behind you (half a meter). It does this in spite of anything else behind you. There can only be one chair at a time.


r/shittysuperpowers 6h ago

Goofy ASF You can mute anyone or thing that is audibly harassing you within 25 meter range.

3 Upvotes

Within a 25 meter range, anybody yelling or cursing at you, you can just mute them. If a Karen is yelling at you, you can mute her. So she is yelling but no sound is coming out of her mouth. If a dog is barking at you, you mute the dog and no sound comes out of its mouth. If a road raged car is honking at you, you mute it.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You can shift week days so it's monday today

3 Upvotes

Everyone will just think that it's monday and all calendars in the world will adjust accordingly so today it's monday, as it's some sort of mandela effect that everyone suddenly believes that it's monday today

days of the month will stay, it's just that the order of the week days will shift so it appears to be monday today, for example as of when i'm writing this, it's september 3rd and it's wednesday, after using this power it will still be september 3rd but it will happen to be monday and wednesday will take place on september 5th, meanwhile last sunday shifts to september 2nd rather than august 31st

7 Upvotes

To activate activate this power, you must raise your hand and focus on banana nut muffins and hail the muffins with your outstretched arm

Then the closest banana nut muffins from you will begin to fly towards you at 3 miles per hour.

Good luck using this… This one came to me in a dream: if you're in a fist fight that lasts longer than 8 minutes, you can land a single, undodgeable, unblockable punch on your opponent.

217 Upvotes

For the conditions to be met, you have to remain active during the 8 previous minutes of the fight, without breaks longer than a few seconds: dodging, blocking, throwing punches, doing footwork, etc. (meaning you can't throw a punch, run away, and come back primed). Once you've reached the 8 minute mark, you can trigger the ability at any point for the remaining of the fight, and your next punch will connect with whatever spot you target on your opponent at full force no matter what: if your opponent dodges, they'll dodge right into it, if their guard is up they will get distracted and let it down, if they try to run away they will trip and you will still get them. The universe will make it happen.

r/shittysuperpowers 1d ago

Oddly specific you can make any phone have the menu buttons outside the screen and vice versa

2 Upvotes

remember when the phones had those menu buttons that are outside of your screen you can now make it so it's now outside of the screen and also make it so phones with those outside buttons not have them cooldown 1 hour and can't be used on phones that aren't bought yet


r/shittysuperpowers 1d ago

Goofy ASF You can spawn an army of Stans from monkey Island once per day

1 Upvotes

They will go and search for people to sell things to. They are can die but it won't help anyone.

They can bypass both natural and man made barriers. In the off chance they do die, they're just going to get back up.

Since everyone has a coffin and nails, the stans are immune.

cooldown of 24 hours. You will not see any profits.
