    Red. I'd happily pocket the money any day. :blobpeek:

    Same. Red button. Money solves most problems, and even does what some of the other buttons do. Want to breath under water? Money can buy you equipment that lets you do that with your eyes open. Want to make food? Money can do that, you can even sell it. Want to fly? Money can buy you a jet and pilot with no cooldown. Money can do the other things too, just not in the same manner.

    Imagine sitting on your couch watching youtube/netflix and just mindlessly putting your hand in your pocket every 10 seconds. That's 6 dollars a minute or 360 dollars an hour.

    Orange - If you can turn water into food, you can turn 70% of the human body into food. This power can easily defeated Batman.

    Red is sadly too good to pass up.

    There's some other ones that are way more interesting, but outside of fringe circumstances they can't really compete proper.

    blue(invisibility), yellow(breath underwater), green(fly), orange(turn water into food) are probably useful in emergency situations but not really necessary in daily life and can somewhat be done with money like amaiakgane said.. well, except invisibility. purple would probably give me anxiety. I dont want to read people real thoughts about me, that scares me. So Red would be for me.

    If it was only for me, I'd go purple.

    Sadly, money would be far too useful to me in supporting friends and family, so red.

    Purple, but use it every time I hold the button down.

    and that's only if you're going really slowly, putting both hands in and out is easily doable in in 1~2 seconds.

    I'm not sure what you mean? how is that relevant to my comment? I didn't say you had to do it in front of other people, and I was replying to AmaiAkagane's comment about doing it while watching tv at home.

    Blue. What's the point of a superpower if I don't get to abuse it? Money from pockets just means I'm getting mugged at night.

    Also, these superpowers sound like they came from a story about people fighting for some kind of wish that grants a person whatever they want if they are the last survivor.

    Well I chose purple because it has the ability to make money if I want to, but also I’ve always wanted to know what people really think. I may regret this ability, but I believe it’s worth the risk

    red is tempting for me, but I may choose purple based on some conditions:
    1. if I am the only one with mind reading
    2. If no one knows I can read minds.
    3. If the mind reading is in depth (not just surface thoughts, but all thoughts and memories crammed into my head at once) - and without side effects like headaches, or memory relapse from influx of mental data

    I'm curious about how the water to food power would work:
    does the power require directly touching the water? - if it doesn't, you can potentially kill a lot of people easily.
    can we control what kind of food we create?
    is it converting the same amount of mass/volume?
    would dirty water be converted to spoiled/unhealthy food?
    can you transform an entire ocean instantly?
    what would be classified as food? can live animals & humans be considered food?

    the other 3 abilities just seem too lame/not worth much - due to the limits,

    All these superpowers together might make for an interesting character in a story. :hmm:

    Red is useless to me unless I move to Freedomland. Banks are cracking down on the average person's ability to launder money more and more each year.

    Blue sounds... boring.

    Pink seems terribly inefficient as people hardly stay looking at you like a creep during conversations. Hearing people's thoughts being cut short every few seconds as their eyes move around comes off like a pain to me.

    Brown is unnecessary unless you find yourself in a very precarious economical situation.

    Yellow is what my heart desires. But Green is what I need. So Green would be my answer. When did I become such a dull adult?

    Red.
    I'd be buying only clothes with pockets, I don't see a downside to this, it doesn't say anything about not being able to give it away, I constantly have my hands in my pockets or wearing gloves, and it says there is no time limit of how long I have to wait to be able to put my hand in my pocket to get another dollar.
    I could just get dollar after dollar and that'd be nice.

    It's not purple. It's pink.

    Anyway, I choose pink because everything else has a constraint and I don't do well with constraints. What's the point of being invisible, if I can't breath? How would I buy something expensive if I have to keep sticking my hand into my pocket?

    But pink doesn't have that. I don't care for others thoughts so it isn't much of an impediment. But, if I were to conduct an interview or something, it would be quite useful to peek into their mind and discern their intentions. Especially if I am the leader of a mafia searching for loyal lackeys~
