Would you prefer supervision, supersmell, superfeel, superhearing, or supertaste? And what about the other senses of the body that are not part of the quintet? Think balance, temperature, and even the ability to feel where all your body parts are (you can close your eyes, wave your hands around, and touch your knee)

For me, I would pick supervision. It would be really cool to see better in the dark, have built-in camera zoom, and see in higher detail.

    There’s also superpain, but I don’t think many would want that…

    Super hearing, to the point of echolocation (Which apparently some blind people can actually do in a very basic form as a learned skill!?)

    Assuming supertaste enables me to make broccoli taste like Pad Thai. I’ll go with that one.

    If it only heightens the sense - then probably less likely to pick that one.

    Considering I’ve got sensory sensitivity to almost all of that (yay being ND) any further would sound like hell.

    I would enjoy the enhanced ability to feel hunger cues appropriately or have a superhuman ability to interpret and react to my inner feelings, beyond even neurotypical capacities.

    I have really good hearing and it honestly sucks sometimes because you can’t really not hear some things when you really, really, really wish you couldn’t.

    With super-vision at least I can close my eyes.

    I really need supervision.

    No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me

    As a guy who wears glasses, heightened vision would be awesome.

    Super hearing would be great, too. I’d love to be able to hear all the nuances of music and be able to hear it without turning it up.

    hearing, because we cant hear like ultrasonic or infrasonic frequencies the way some animals can, plus hearing things on the otherside of the planet, ability to control or filter unnecessary noises, barring supernatural abilities as well. plus vision that we can see x rays and gamma rays, and UV without a medical disease, microscopic vision.
