If you could be the best at something but nobody could know, what would it be?

Cracking DRM. Win-win.

Judging from some of the prolific ones out there, cracking DRM requires you to also be absolutely batshit insane.

I should give cracking a go.

I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…

Game this is easy: I will be the best at commiting crimes without getting caught. In your face Moriarty

I was going to say "robbing banks" but I prefer the generality in your answer.

Nobody's claimed stock investing yet, I'll take that one.

Can it be murder? I'd fix the world with violence if I could get away with it.

You've seen Death Note right?

Give me something like physics. I'm just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can't be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.
Nowadays I'm busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.

Innovating new outside-the-box stuff, procedures, code, whatever. A robust public domain would happily be my legacy.
No small amount of art too.

Life. Nobody would ever figure it out. They might think/say "he's got the best life", but who would think "he's the best at life".

Not giving a single F about anything.
I wish I could return to the state I was during pre birth. I have been given a small time frame of giving f's though until I will return to that state I desire to be in.
In about 50 years if nothing out of my control wipes me out I will return to being non existent.
Thinking about this makes me wonder, I havent given a single f since the big bang and now I am thrown on to a globe and a large handful of people passively forcing me to do. I have to be. I never had the option to not be. Lets see where this goes

You think you're the first living creature to use those atoms that make up your current body? You're just the current tenant.

You want to be the best at not giving a fuck? Pssshhhh!!!! Fat chance! I'm already the world leader in that....
takes a shit on your infant child
Eh....

Giving no fucks is the natural state of the universe. One of the human superpowers is we give the most fucks, or we can give fucks about a lot of people, though even hundreds is stretching that limit.
It's one of the things we need to get over is that whether we as a species live or die, colonize the stars or go extinct in a century or less, not only will the universe not notice, but it won't care. It's up to us to care or not.
That said, we humans are cruel bastards, so yes, I appreciate the impetus to minimize the fucks you give.

I already am the best at something, but if I tell you, somebody would know...

Helping others to do their best, especially when it's something they are truly passionate about.
What if the thing they're passionate about is doing evil murders?
Hear that everybody? This guys an accessory to murder!
