What’s your superpower?

I know of someone who can trip on flat and even ground, with nothing in her way.
I can, and do, easily lock up or crash any advertised "Idiot-Proof" design, hardware or software, without fail. When I retired from Civil Service the IT folks actually gifted me a coffee cup with the inscription "I stumped the IT Dept"!
There's gotta be a way for me to capitalize on my unique Superpower, and get filthy-rich.

Same as mine, lol, and its compounded when I'm running, so I don't stumble, but full on tumble and scrape my knee.
This is how you can tell if you're getting old. If you fall and people laugh, or do they look in horror and rush to your aide. I'm well past the laughing phase.
Not pre-ordering new phones.
Being a bit more serious ... enjoying days that others would consider boring.

I have a few.
Macrumors poster. But compared to @maflynn and @Scepticalscribe I’m a sidekick superhero at best.
Comedian. I find the Dad joke in most circumstances.
Working. Started when I was 15 (full time). I had many part time jobs before then.
Worked ever since. In all my jobs I have been promoted over more qualified employees. I am the go to guy for ‘how do I do this’ or what would you do about that’.
I get the second two from my Dad. Not the first. He can hardly use an iPhone let alone a computer. I’m also his tech guy (even though I live at the other end of the country and he goes to a monthly computer class!).

Were you born with it (Superman), gained from an accident (Hulk) or under go years of training (Batman)?
I either got it from years of training or trauma. My Dad told me, "Son, if you want to get a girl, you need to be rich, handsome or funny. You better learn some jokes." So I did.
The first joke I told was back when I was ten. I told my Mom that Dad fell off a 30 foot ladder.
Mom got all flustered and asked, "Is he hurt bad? What happened?"I replied, "Not really. He slipped on the first rung."
Are you saying you feel no pain or sadness? Sometimes I wonder about myself, but I don’t expect you to divulge. I will say I felt sad emotions, and loss, but shed no tears when both my parents past away (a decade apart) , I tell myself it’s because I had spent years preparing for the event, maybe too well. 😔
Superpowers? Well, if I’m being serious, I think one of mine might be that I can hear that high‑frequency noise when a TV turns on — but whenever I ask people around me, they say they hear nothing. I can also somehow pick up the smell of flowers when they’re starting to wilt. Not sure if those count as “superpowers,” though.
But there is one ability I’m absolutely sure I have: time travel.
Every morning, the moment I turn off my alarm, I instantly jump forward in time — sometimes by dozens of minutes, sometimes even hours.
And then… well~~~ lol

Mine is I don’t need an alarm. Whatever time I need to get up, I usually just wake up before the alarm. Even when it’s not a regular time.
This morning I had to leave 30 minutes early so set the alarm for 5:15. Was awake for 5:07.
lol. I used to. Now I can’t eat anywhere near that amount.I can make large pizzas disappear
My superpower is finding the longest queue no matter which one I join.
I am a two slice guy now too. Too much just tears me up anymore … and in my defense, I did not provide a timeline in which I would make said pie disappear
But back in the day ….
I can make large pizzas disappear
ha... I make beer disappear.... two peas in a pod I tell yeah!!!
been seven years since I had a slice or pizza and maybe 5 slices since 2013.
about Superpowers:
