we get that ability and can use it indefinitely, but don't have to use it to chill. this means robot soldiers can never truly take over for human soldiers, test times don't mean anything, and getting visibly embarrassed is completely avoidable. most conversations play out like choreographed banter, and those who don't bother to plan out what they say are branded lazy or stupid. most stories from before we gained that ability will seem to be about the mentally handicapped. i have a character who drinks tea to stall conversations so she can plan; a cool repeatable way to show she's cunning, but human. that's not special anymore.
i wish for the ability to control cloth i'm touching. i have an intuitive sense of the cloth's position and movement relative to me. i have a sense of touch through it similar to the skin on the inside of my current hands, but when it's damaged i know that without getting any sensation. per unit of mass, it has about the same strength as my current legs.
