Would you rather glow in the dark, or slowly get bigger when in water, and then shrink back to normal when dry?
You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.
This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.
What
It's night half the time, and I'll be really visible if I'm glowing whether I want to be or not. So, definitely the second one. Prolonged water contact in a visible place is easier to avoid, if needed.
I plan to re-enact Gulliver pulling along the Lilliputian armada.
Wear opaque clothes
Take a shower and destroy your house. I'm going for glowing.
But imagine that you get stuck in a water pipe or wedged somewhere in a rain storm. Glowing is annoying but not nearly as bad as potentially drowning because your car crashed into a lake and you can no longer escape through the window.
I like glow in the dark stuff, but I also like to be sneaky, so...idk. Conflicted.
Fun fact, we already glow in the dark, just not in a way we can see.
Bigger when wet would be kinda neat, but if it's based off of toy dinosaurs then the glow doesn't last all night. So I can take the glow and use it for sick pranks and cosplays or whatever. Be like alien Mr Burns.
Sex would be weird, but probably a good kind. Until it's painful.
You'd basically be a dog.
"Ha ha ha, let's throw a bucket of water on this nerd!"
"Don't make me wet. You wouldn't like me when I'm wet."
sounds like a she hulk porn lol
Gets bigger but not any heavier or stronger
you guys are smoking some strong stuff lol
I guess the grow bigger in the water thing because I can't imagine how hard it would be to fall asleep if I'm glowing.
is this 'glow in the dark' like i'm radioactive and constantly glow a little bit, or is this 'glow in the dark' like i absorb a little bit of light and slowly re-emit it, so if i wait long enough in darkness i'll stop glowing?
The second sounds like it has far more room for stupid bullshit, so that one
Fuck you, I'm doing both and glowing harder the bigger I get.
There we go, Halloween sorted.
How bright would I glow? Enough to read by?
Do you grow to a maximum size in water? Or do you just keep growing the longer you stay in contact with water? If the latter then I think glowing in the dark is the less inconvenient option.
Yes, to a maximum size about 3 times your regular size.
Then it would still be less inconvenient to glow in the dark since showering would become a real problem.
Does the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?
Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I'd grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain
Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water
Any super strength? Like 3 times my strength or would I just be big. I could do advertising for a boat salesman or something. “bigger than huge sale this weekend!” And other such methods.
I assume hyper-stretchy clothing isn't a reality yet? Getting caught in a rain storm would be inconvenient. I think I would still go with water growing. I need near complete darkness to sleep. And glowing skin would be hella annoying in a movie theater.
Wait, how do I drink water? Get slightly bigger then shrink back?
"You look a little small. Are you drinking enough water?"
I can imagine glowing in the dark would be both a blessing and a curse depending on the circumstances. If you're lost in a cave that could be lifesaving. Trying to sleep in the dark though? That's gonna be tough haha. I think I'd still choose to glow in the dark though so I could fuel sweet rave parties
My wife says the same thing about sleeping with a light on, I just close my eyes and don't see anything i must have thick eyelids
Yea but you're eyes would glow...the way I see it, this question is, "would you become an insomniac or explode when drinking water"
Would the insides of my eyelids glow? Cause fuck that if that’s the case.
No, only the outside of your body
If I put part of me in say a glass of water then would it just be the part in the glass that slowly grew and how fast and how much.
You’re gonna put your dick in a glass of water, huh?
Let me ask you if you've ever heard about the Yardhouse's older Full Yard sized glasses. I'm thinking water would go real well in one of those.
Like a thimble of water?
Like, a cylinder?
Do you get bigger by absorbing air (thereby increasing your buoyancy) or by absorbing water (with the opposite effect)?
By absorbing water
you would sink though.
Do I feel bloated when I take on all this water weight?
"But I'm straight"
"So is spaghetti... Until it gets wet."
"Okay but that's a bad analogy because I just turn ten stories tall when I get wet."
Why can I not come to a conclusion on this decision...
I love to swim and the water one sounds really inconvenient. I choose glow! You would never really be afraid of the dark- like your own personal night light. Maybe i could get a job doing those nighttime ghost tours.
Glow in the dark for sure.
Damn, if I choose option 1, I'm gonna have to apply for the CIA.
Glow in the dark, since i do lap swimming for exercise and the other option would rule that out.
I’m in Virginia. I’ll go for the water one. Get all that Atlantic up in me. Between the microplastics and bioluminescent life- I think that’s the right choice for me.
Grew up in Hampton Roads (Portsmouth, Newport News, VAB mainly, but lived all over). It'd be so cool to just walk down to the strip, step into the ocean, and slowly grow to the size that I could walk to Europe like I was walking across a small, shallow pond, then shrink back down to size, get my passport stamped, and have some German beer and sausages before coming home. Lol
Inuk chuk!
I will bathe in the ocean and at long last fulfill my ambition of punching mother gia in the face.
