The ability to mute any sound I hear. Baby crying, annoying hum, someone snoring, obnoxious drunk? Muted.

The ability to know if a fruit is going to taste good just by holding it. Perhaps being able to experience the taste of it (when it ripens) by holding it. Perhaps also being able to tell peak ripeness. But that may be op. Iโ€™d settle for the first part.

I'd want a pen or pencil to come out of my fingertip. Retractable, of course. I'm always looking for something to write with and never can find anything that works decently.

The ability to know all of someone's usernames and passwords by only looking at a photo of their face.

The perfect ability in the modern age for a secret life as either vigilante or villain.
