You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.
This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.
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.
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?
You constantly glow with a dim yellow-green light, just bright enough to read in
Is it only my skin or, like, the inside of my eyelids too?
Just the outside of your body
“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
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.
I’d need time durations on the size changes… But obviously the size changes.
Other comments indicate you also get heavier, a bath each morning followed by exercise could be interesting with the extra weight.
Also you’d have documentaries made about you. It’s a completely novel behavior… And what happens if you soak just a part of your body… Your penis for instance?
The glowing? Technically you could already do that, genetic scientists have already created glow in the dark pigs, so glowing seems similar. No more hiding in the dark, you’re a beacon now. If a mugger or the cops are chasing you… Oh there you are. Not really helpful like being three times taller and heavier because you had a bath would be.
You had me sold on the water growth thingy in paragraph 3.
How bright would I glow? Enough to read by?
Yeah, like a dim yellowish greenish light that you can just about read by
My eyesight’s pretty weak, so I’m not sure that would do it… but on the other hand I could navigate the house at night without bumping my shins on furniture. I think that’s enough to sell me on glowing.
You’d have moths flocking to you at night, though, which might be awkward.
That would be a definite minus.
It might be harder to navigate. Looking past your own glowing eye sockets could make your eyes adjust to the closer, brighter light and leave you night blind
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.
It does say slowly, we really need more information about the rates at which you grow and shrink. Still I think the growing in water thing at least seems to have some potential positives whereas glow in the dark is just annoying.
I imagine guys would do it just so they could have temporarily larger penises.
I know I would.
“Babe, I’mma wreck your holes tonight, let me hop in the bath.”
Would you be able to stay hard when you grow? We haven’t asked enough questions.
People with penises get hard because of blood flow to the penis, so I imagine absorbing water might have a similar effect 💀
Life, uh, finds a way
what the fuck is it with lemmy and “holes” like thats somehow hot or something
like all of these lemmynsfw posts are like “look at my holes” and “what would you do to my holes” and its just girls spreading their ass cheeks open to show… well, you get it
I just find it kind of a gross way to try to be sexy
Well, I was intentionally writing it to be crass. I would never tell a girl that I care about that “I’m gonna wreck her holes” unless the situation explicitly called for it.
I mean yeah I figured, I didnt think you were trying to be romantic @}-'—,-----
its not you, its the word/phrase, like I find it to be gross and like this nihilistic, post-apocalyptic way of talking about sex or something… its difficult to articulate, its just in no way hot to me and instead quite gross. I dont think youre gross or wrong or bad for using it im just turned off by the word/phrase and was wondering why im seeing it everywhere, but thats just how turns of phrase go, I suppose
If only your volume increases while your mass stays the same, your density would decrease which might potentially save you from drowning.
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
It’s like a sponge. It takes several hours to get to your maximum size.
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.
Wow, both those options suck. Nice dilemma, OP
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?
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”
“You look a little small. Are you drinking enough water?”
