How often do you attempt to use preternatural abilities on the world around you?

  I occasionally feel the need to crush some heads.

    Careful or I’ll be forced to smoosh your face!

  If I’m in a mirthful mood, sometimes I will wave my hands in a magical gesture, causing the door to open before me, as I enter the grocery store.

  All the time. I know it’s not real, but it’s fun to try to predict when exactly the bus is gonna come. It’s right after this blue car! … well, okay, maybe it’s right after this white car! oh…

    There’s my people! Forget these party poopers, how do you know you can’t spark fire from your fingertips, or make an icicle fall just by concentrating on it if you never try?

      True — you can’t prove the thing that already happened had nothing to do with me thinking real hard about it!

  Myself never, but there probably … millions? tens of millions? of tiktok brained Americans that believe in ‘manifesting’, so being irrationally delusional is pretty trendy right now I guess.

    Manifesting is a thing, though. It’s not magic, but it is a way to trigger the placebo effect which is an observed phenomenon.

    I can’t manifest a jet, but I can manifest a new car. Just by believing I’m going to get one somehow, my brain is going to start doing a lot of subconscious things that are going to add up to getting one. You can manifest a promotion and you will start to work a little harder or more efficiently, maybe add new skills.

    Why not just -do- these things? If you can, great! But if not, your subconscious is capable of things your conscious may not be… You could be in a cycle of self sabotage that manifestation can sidestep, for instance.

    It’s an incredibly powerful tool that people disregard as woowoo because even the people selling it don’t know how it works.

      Did some TikTok dipshit just rename positive thinking? 😂

  I regularly use my gifts to open grocery store doors.

  Never because I’m not in to larping nor am I goofy in the head.

  Pulling my dad's finger always made him fart. Definitely not normal to have your finger connected to a pressure relief valve in your ass.

  Taking a cat bowl full of water back to its spot on the floor. I remember I am the water, and it gets delivered without spilling.

  Not since I had major chuunibyo 10 years ago. Why, what kind of preternatural abilities are you using, OP?
