Number 1 has the most utility
Everyone skipping 4 is either young, or never had to deal with health problems.
- I assure all of you, that is the most OP of all the options.
Never get sick, no cancer, no aches, no heart disease, no Alzheimer’s, etc…
picks 4 and 6
gets hit by a train
the universe stops
Perfect health is a no brainer. Not just the longer life but also live free from all the problems that come with health issues.
The second, not so much. Talent sounds good but can potentially make a very boring life. Telekinesis sounds good too but I think I’d still go with the time pause as that’s effectively a 50% life increase. Imagine a day where you can devote 12 hours to work and chores and another 12 to social and personal? You then have perfect health which means you can achieve peak performance in pretty much any sport.
All fun and games untill it’s the year 200000023, all of humanity is long dead, earth has been destroyed and you’re trapped in the white star that once was our sun. Unable to die, unable to move, unable to even lose your mind.
You are still in perfect health.
I didn’t interprete perfect health as immortality in this case. Just a long life until I died of a very old age.
3 and 4 by a mile, are you kidding? Everyone picking 2 doesn’t lay awake at night cringing at past memories.
6 basically increases your lifespan by a 1/3. So if you would have normally lived to 75 you get to 100.
Sounds like it would make things like surgery with general anesthesia impossible though.
Edit: Now that I think about it, wouldn’t 4 be better since it makes you functionally immortal? Dying from old age just means dying due to some of those health conditions (heart disease, cancer etc.) that get more and more likely the older you get. If you can’t get those, you don’t die of old age.
Perfect health means you’ll be immortal. Combined with being talented you can do anything you want
Felt like perfect health was just like you’re never sick, never get a cavity, yada yada as these are all kind of lowkey powers
Yeah I agree that immortal probably isn’t accurate in my opinion. It depends on how liberal you interpret the term “healthy”. Is a stab wound bad health? Is decapitation bad health? I’d argue no, but there is a (weak imo) argument that it is.
A stab wound on good health heals better than a stab wound on bad health. Any injuries short of death is still better in a healthy body. I would not want a scratch on a diabetic body. And even if immortality is not on the table, severe chronic illness makes aging disgraceful.
