I want to get bitten by a capybara and get the superpower of being chill 100% of the time.
Do the superpowers have to correlate to the abilities of the animal that bites me, like Spider-Man?
Probably a grasshopper, if so. Being able to bound to basically anywhere I need to get would be nice, get some wings to course correct in the air. Or a mantis shrimp because then I really would never have to worry about losing a fight.
But if it’s any animal/any superpower: mosquito/super speed
The Immortal Jellyfish, taking their transdifferentiation ability in which they can reverse aging and damage at macro and cellular levels.
I’d be worried that picking jellyfish might cause you to lose your brain as well. Which would be pretty inconvenient outside of preparing you for a career in politics.
A housefly so my lifespan is 2 days
Good news,
Plenty of animal bites can give you the same or even a better experience!
Ladybug bite.
I would like to attain their hard candy shell and ability to fly.
Fwiw, a lady bug once bit my ear drum several times over the course of the longest half hour of my life up until that point. It hurts. A lot.
Man, that sounds horrible. I’ve only been bit on my arms and neck by them. I would pass on ladybug eardrum bites if offered, thank you.
Don’t let one negative review scare you off of ladybug eardrum bites. There’s a tendency for only those with the most-negative (and rare!) experiences to post reviews, but there are a lot of us out there who’ve had only great experiences with ladybug eardrum bites.
For some reason, bugs like my ears. I’ve had several bug-in-ear experiences, and lemme tell you, none have been fun. Lady bug was the most painful, but only the second worst.
But, as the other commenter pointed out, perhaps there are people who enjoy the experience. It takes all types, and I don’t kink shame. But definitely do your research first and make sure you want to try it before you find yourself in the situation. Don’t wanna end up like the poop eater on reddit.
