You may pick one superpower:

1. You can fly… but only to/from the grocery store.
2. You can turn invisible… but only on weekends.
3. You can turn into any animal… but only when no one can see you.

Which would you choose, and what would you do with it?

(Details in 🧵)

Flying:
• Speed of a typical passenger jet
• You can carry things, but they don’t fly on their own
• A “Grocery Store” is whatever you can convince yourself to believe is a grocery store
• You won’t get cold while flying, but you still need oxygen.

Invisibility:
• You can turn anything within 1 foot of your body invisible. This covers clothes, etc, but only the portion near your body.
• “Weekends” are Saturday 12AM through Monday 12AM in local time zone
• Invisibility is selective. e.g. you can hide just your hand

Animal:
• Turn into an exact copy of any individual animal that exists, or *has* existed, on earth.
• If you try to turn into something that doesn’t exist, you’ll get the nearest match.
• You can “understand” that species’ communication, to the extent they communicate.

So, which one would you choose? What would you do with it?

I asked the kids this on the drive home and they rules-lawyered it to death. It was fantastic. 😄
