are super powers with side effects still worth it?

Are superpowers with side effects still

worth it? This is a question scholar

have been wondering for centuries.

>> What? No, we haven't.

>> Which is why I decided to look into it.

I asked you to choose a superpower. I

want flying. But the top reply is the

side effect. You're only a flying head.

Uh, sorry.

Are we cool?

I said sorry. So, for example, I want

telekinesis ve very much. I think I

would if I had telekinesis abuse that

power to the max. Yeah, that's right.

Come to papa. And if I can only move

burger.

Oh, you think you're funny, don't you?

Well, watch this. Yeah, that's right.

Come to papa. You think you've bested

this power, but I have produced an idea.

Obviously, telekinesis isn't very good

if you can only control burgers. Even if

you want to control the burgers to then

control other objects, but then I'd be

producing a lot of burgers. I don't want

to keep going to the grocery store to

buy more burger meat. Do you guys have

like a vat of meat? Yeah, burger packs

are in aisle 3. No, no, no. Like not

like a packet, but like a

fat. That would be a huge pain. But then

I got the idea, what if I submerged the

burger in resin like that one hot dog

and that the burger could last forever.

And in addition to that, the resin could

be any shape, such as burger in resin

shaped like a spoon or burger in resin

in the shape of a hook. We could get

really creative. I could be casting

multiple shapes with multiple burgers,

creating minations only limited by my

imagination.

Let's rock and roll, baby. It's time to

rock and roll. You thought you were

funny. You have failed to limit my

powers. And now you will face the

consequences.

Oh man. I would say yes. This power is

still worth it with a side effect. Write

that one down, scholars. Who are you?

Let's see if you have what it takes to

ruin this next power.

Satisfying. I'm going to ask my channel

now.

You can bring any character you want to

life. Okay. I'm going to make a

character named Griffin who has wings

and we're best friends and is magic also

and can do kick flips. Do a kick flip.

Awesome. Very interested to see the side

effect that would ruin this. They hate

you,

>> Griffin.

Is this true?

>> Okay, that's fine. We're not friends

anymore. I'm going to make another

character who is really cool and excels

at baseball and uh is a demon and is

your enemy. So, you know how it feels.

>> You know, they say an enemy of an enemy

is my friend. Wise words.

>> Seriously,

>> I'll admit it. I don't think this power

is fun with this consequence. If

everyone hates me, then they're all

going to gang up on me. Ow ow ow ow.

Like, if there's no consequences with

this power, what's stopping me from like

making a genie character who grants

unlimited wishes? But now, if he hated

me, I would have a lot of trouble

trusting him. Unless

character who is irredeemably evil and a

threat to this world who is a burger,

>> which then I can uh eat it.

>> Yes. Eat me and become the very thing

you sought to defeat.

>> I don't like this power anymore. You

guys can hang out. I'm going to leave.

You guys suck.

Those guys are a bunch of jerks anyway,

but not as much of a jerk as I'm about

to be. This video is sponsored by Opera

browser. Wow, the internet. I wish there

was some way for me to easily access it.

If only there was some way to Oh, would

you look at that. With Opera, you can

browse with ease. But not only that, it

has features. Features such as video pop

out to watch incredible videos while

doing your taxes or whatever you're up

to. You can drag it over here. Over

here. I'm having a hard time focusing to

be honest.

>> Over here. There's also a music player

built right into the browser for

listening to the best music for pumping

you up. Ah, yeah. That's the Beats.

You can connect to services like

Spotify, Title, YouTube Music, and it

autopes when you want to watch

incredible videos. This is a perfect

feature for people who hate clicking

more than two times. Woo! When I'm

browsing, I like to have more tabs open

than there are stars in the sky. So,

offers tab island and tab traces

features are fantastic. Tab Islands

allows you to group your tabs, so you

can have groups for like shopping and

studying, and you can collapse them. So,

now you know exactly where to find

everything. And tab traces visually

shows you which tab you last visited by

showing you an underline that fades the

older it gets. So retracing your steps

is easier. Now, where did that tab go?

Here it is. Yeah, that's the stuff.

Experience all these features by

downloading Opera at the link in the

description today. Thanks Opera for

sponsoring this video. Next power, the

ability to heal anything with the mind.

This power is dangerous, mostly because

you would either be sought after by

world governments seeking to obtain your

power, or you'd end up being the leader

of a cult. But despite the risks, it's

an amazing power to have. Anytime you

stub your toe, it's fine. If you fall

off the roof and then stub your toe in

the process, that's fine. Or if you

explode, actually, I don't think you'd

survive that. But if you were far enough

away and then you stub your toe, then

that's fine. Life would be way easier.

But with the side effect, would it still

be worth it?

Come on.

[Music]

Almost got it. Let me try. Give me a

second.

There we go. You can only ever do it

immediately after eating a bowl of grass

clippings. You are terrible. Funny, but

terrible. First of all, this makes using

the power really awkward. Somebody.

Somebody. We need a doctor. Who needs

help? This guy's hurt. He needs help.

Uh, I'm hurt. I need help. Don't worry,

guys. I got this.

>> Why are you eating grass?

What are you doing?

>> I'm working on it. I'm working on it. On

top of that, you cannot let it get out

that you have this power because it's

limited to how much grass you can eat a

day, which is not nutritional, by the

way. You can't subsist off of grass. You

have to eat other things. Trust me, I've

been down that road. So, if you're

trying to keep a low profile, eating the

grass kind of makes you suspicious. We

have incredible news, Ron. Just as the

evil sentient burger that's been on the

loose attacked this child, we thought it

was all but over for the child. But soon

after the burger fled the scene, the

child made a miraculous recovery. With

us are some bystanders who witnessed the

miracle. I don't know how that kid's

alive. He was hit full force with a

freeze ray. You don't walk away from

that unscathed. After Burger Meister

Burger Monster escaped, he just stood up

like nothing happened. Yeah, it was

crazy.

I don't know what happened. I vote this

power is still very worth it. Despite

you have to be on a low profile, it's

gross to eat grass and this really only

works during the spring and summer. It's

still worth it because it's not nothing.

Just kind of a bummer. You kind of you

ruined it a little bit. The ability to

completely forget about a show you've

watched so you can reexperience it as if

it was the first time. I do this

already.

Where am I? This power sounds cool at

first, but this kind of sounds like

purgatory a little bit. You'll just

watch the show, forget that you watched

it, watch it again, forget that you

watched it. Months roll by, years roll

by, and you're an old man before you

know it. Where did the time go? You

don't remember it? I remember the first

time I saw the season finale for Sever

season 1. Did it feel amazing?

>> Yeah. Do I wish I could watch the show

and feel the same way again? Uh-huh. But

if you haven't seen Adam Sandler's 2006

fantasy comedy film, Click, I feel as if

there is an important and irrelevant

lesson in that movie. I think this power

is a curse. So anyway, with that being

said, let's see what the sound effect

is. You immediately lose interest before

you watch the show. I do that already

with video games.

Where am I? Because I consider the power

a curse. You kind of made it better,

which is the opposite of what we were

trying to do here. I don't know what to

do now. I don't know what to um smoke

bomb. It's not working. Smoke bomb.

The ability to have your art come out

exactly as you imagined it. Yes, I can

see it now. The trees, the river, the

luscious flowers, masterful composition.

You can only draw pictures of Will

Smith.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you ruined it. You've

ruined a totally perfect superpower.

Congratulations. If you need me, I'll be

in my room.

The ability to mimic anything. Ooh, I

like this one. I've always been fond of

the idea of like shapeshifting. I'm a

big fan of Ditto from Pokémon. He's

cute. But would I think it's still cool

with a side effect? You lose your true

self and have no unique form if I'm

understanding this correctly. Is that so

bad? I don't know. That doesn't sound

too bad. Having no unique form kind of

makes me have a unique form. Hey, I'm

looking for a guy named Andy. Do you

know who that is? Oh, yeah. It's the guy

with no unique form over there. Hello.

Sure, I lose my unique form at the end

of the day, but I could also fly. And of

course, if I can mimic abilities, say

hello to the world's best hacker.

What are you hacking? Nothing. Someone

ordered one trillion Dr. Peppers. You

know, that joke's getting a little old.

>> I like him. The ability to turn

invisible when nobody's looking. That's

not a superpower. That's just being a

guy. That's just a guy. Ooh, I'm

invisible. I don't look at me. What?

Look away. Okay, now look at me. Wait. I

mean, okay. But you're being looked at

24/7. You didn't even ruin a superpower.

This is a curse.

>> I mean, do you mind? Like I'm trying to

just like be by myself.

>> My job.

>> The ability to appear in an ice cream

sandwich video, but he hates you. Wow, I

really hate this guy. Thanks for

watching. I hope everybody learned

something. Scholars
