Also note that it says you "can" run faster than the speed of light not that you had to. So we probably have some control over how fast we can go. So if someone wants to embrace mediocre lower levels of speed it shouldn't be off the table.


Now I'm imagining somebody using that power just to run marathons slightly fast enough to break the world record.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I wanna say that the Unicorn charm probably wouldn't work that way because we know of the other charms that exist and function but I mean how many people are on NSG anyway to make it matter?

Well, horseshoe. Moving FTL Is actually equivalent to time travel, so it's by far the most powerful ("teleportation" doesn't say if it's instant or at light-speed). With that I could hope to fulfill my dream of saving Paris' Commune from the Bloody Week.

This one gives me so many options.

There is no majority that believes in one specific religion. So I guess I can create a god, just for me.

Better yet, only a few people (at most, I'm being generous here) believe that I am a god. So I create myself into a god.

I mean, the unicorn charm basically makes me God, so it’s gonna have to be that. The others are fun— but invisibility always has weird caveats (do I have to be naked??), running at the speed of light would probably cause a huge explosion, I already generally have pretty good luck, teleportation is super cool (I had a dream about it once) but I can just make a teleportation machine with the unicorn charm, and breathing underwater is neat but also replicable with scuba gear.

I'm already quite the lucky fuck, so maybe I don't need the clover charm. Rainbow charm, maybe? I'd love to teleport.

Clover. It'd make overall life way easier. Can't afford something? It goes on sale! Get up in the middle of the night? I don't step on/bump into anything! Walk through the grass? No dogshit on my shoes! Driving? No traffic!

-And if you didn't burst into flames, imagine hitting a wall at light speed.

Splat. Boom. crumblecrumblecrumble

That doesn't even begin to describe it. Even assuming you're magically immune to the effects, at relativistic speeds, just your passage through the air would cause nuclear fusion in your bow wave, as you slammed into air molecules so fast and hard that their nuclei interpenetrated, producing a wake of superheated plasma and expanding bubble of high-energy radiation that would destroy everything in your path. As you approached the speed of light, weirder stuff would start happening ­— exotic particle creation, fundamental laws of physics twisting into unrecognizable shapes as conditions in your vicinity began to approximate those of the Big Bang.

Anyway, obviously the unicorn, which is trivially capable of duplicating the effects of any of the others, and I suspect may have been used to create them in the first place.

Dude, I remember when they added the purple horseshoes.

I also remember when there were only three colors of Froot Loop, and M&Ms were brown, tan, yellow, orange and green, and only came in plain and peanut. (Blue M&Ms still weird me out.)
