What if 5% of the population had (lame) superpowers?

They’d basically have powers like those from r/shittysuperpowers.

i already have one of these

someone’s superpower would probably be being able to hold in their pisses and shits for an indefinite amount of time

either nothing really happens (maybe some unique jobs?) or they get brutally and horribly oppressed, eventually ending in being wiped off the face of the earth by some part of the other 95%

Depends, some powers really are harmless while others would actually be really useful if used properly

Someone is going to have the superpower to always come up with the best response in any argument, and that’s something that a lot of people will envy.

One lame superpower would probably be the ability to master menial around-the-house type things. Master, as in do it very quickly and efficiently. In short, being really good at cleaning minor stuff like spilled milk or a stained shirt. You could include washing dishes and taking out the trash as one of those menial around-the-house things, but then at that point it wouldn’t really be a lame superpower. Actually, in general, it’s not really a superpower at all. It’s just convenient to a point.

Theoretically, you might be able to clean ANYTHING as long as it’s still considered menial. You could clean up finger prints or small DNA samples or bloodstains from a crime scene, for example.

A less creative lame superpower would be the power to see ghosts. Even if you aren’t scared of ghosts, this is more of a nuisance than it is a power(imagine squatting down to take a dump, and then you look down into the toilet and Sadako from the Ring is looking back up at you). You might not even be able to communicate with the ghosts- but if you can, it could be useful for you if you’re a detective. Useful to a point.

Funny how these two superpowers fit either a criminal or an officer, which was a coincidence that I’m only noticing just now. Oh well.

I have the ability to turn my hands purple but that’s about it

Some “terrible” superpowers are actually OP if put in the right hands…

A superpower to instantly be unconscious for 4 hours (cannot be woken up whatsoever), the after effect is like waking up as if you only had 1 hour of sleep for school.

And another superpower that lets you grow your nails indefinitely, in an abnormal state.

A superpower to never break pencil leads when sharpening

Behold!!!

My shitty superpower would be being able to jump 5 inches higher than the average human.

that could actually be pretty good for volleyball

problem

I don’t play volleyball
