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

Post image
34 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.

Oddly specific You can teleport anywhere you have already been to, at the cost of one your limbs.

10 Upvotes

Your limb is left behind. It takes 30 seconds to channel the teleportation. You can prep by having a belt ready to stop the bleeding, but the limb removed will be random. Max 4 uses, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, this is shit When shitting yourself, you can choose for the shit to be in-between your pants and underwear, instead of in-between your ass and underwear. If you aren't wearing pants/underwear/neither you obviously cannot use this

Upvotes

Cleaning up might be easier? Maybe?

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. Optionally: Whenever you roll a six sided dice, it occasionally lands on seven.

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You can keep people at arm's length

Upvotes

If you don't want someone approaching you, you can stretch out your arm and prevent them. Like an invisible force field they could do nothing to close the gap.

It only stops a person from approaching you beyond your hand, doesn't prevent them if they use something long, or just high fiving you.

It would stop neither a bullet nor a knife, but a snotty kid couldn't wipe his nose on your brand new jacket.


r/shittysuperpowers 20h ago

Yeah, this is shit When you want to shit, you can pass the urge to someone nearby.

16 Upvotes

When you want to shit, be it IBS or you ate something wrong, etc., you can pass that urge to someone else. That person must be nearby you within 5m or less (i.e. in the same room, visible to you). And no you cannot pass it to someone that you see on the TV or online.


r/shittysuperpowers 12h ago

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. You optionally can give anyone who looks at you: mild hiccups.

3 Upvotes

It’s optional and controllable, meaning you don’t have to give them mild hiccups but only if you want.

Good luck using this… If you can get an animal addicted to cocaine you can put it into a poke ball and command it to do whatever you want

6 Upvotes

You only get twelve poke balls.

if an animal dies you can replace it

Humans​ count

They will do whatever you tell them to do

You have to feed them occasionally

They cannot injure you

You have to give them a reasonable amount of cocaine each week to keep them

If they don't get cocaine at the end of a week they will break free and leave you


r/shittysuperpowers 12h ago

Just low-tier, nothing more, nothing less. Whenever you flip a penny, you can optionally toggle it where you always land on heads. As in “heads up”

Oddly specific After arguing with someone for 3 hours. They'll straight up admit your right and move on. This makes you the winner in the minds of everyone who witnesses this argument and the loser aswell. Whether your actually right is another matter.

52 Upvotes

Note if you stop arguing or the person disengages at any point before the 3 hour mark,this power will not work.

Also if you leave,and comeback the timer resets.

The power does not work if the person doesn't respond back within a minute.

Oddly specific So, this is something that I have actually been able to do IRLfor thirty years: I can paralyze myself for ten-twenty minutes

531 Upvotes

Like, if I lay down on my stomach, I can make it so that I literally cannot move for up to twenty minutes.

No matter how I struggle and try, I can't get off of the ground.

I finally feel the "power" coming back to my deltoids after my mind powers wears off, and it's weird as hell.

Then I slowly push myself up by the shoulders lol.

I don't know what the hell this is, but I have been doing it for more than thirty years, just as a lark

This power is just a bag of dicks You can eject your guts from your body like a sea cucumber on command.

Good luck using this… You can make your drive thru order the Pay it Forward order from I Think You Should Leave

1 Upvotes

Full order: 55 BURGERS 55 FRIES 55 TACOS 55 PIES 55 COKES 100 TATER TOTS 100 PIZZA 100 TENDERS 100 MEATBALLS 100 COFFEES 55 WINGS 55 SHAKES 55 PANCAKES 55 PASTAS 55 PASTAS AND 155 TATERS

You can make your order that by just activating the superpower. You don't have to say the whole thing. You still have to pay for it. It also only works for drive thrus that have all the items in the order (you can't activate it at a Starbucks cuz Starbucks doesn't sell pancakes).


r/shittysuperpowers 2d ago

This power is just a bag of dicks You can convince any sufficiently powerful person that you’re immortal

10 Upvotes

All the kidnappers and experimentation of an immortal manhunt without the benefits of immortality.

‘Sufficiently powerful’ is net worth over 50 billion dollars or being at the very top of their nation’s government.

Confused but has the right spirit You can convince anyone to be happy.

Doesn't matter if their dog died, or clinically insane. All will immediately be happy on command like a drug.

Doesn't make them succeptible or mania, just good mood. They could be pure evil, and now just evil in a good mood.
