So. An idea popped in my head, and I was like 'man it would be great if I had this thing that can do stuff'. Then I brainstormed (and referenced) some items that should come in handy in some occasions. So here's the items;

The Undo Button
Pretty much a ctrl-z in real life. It comes in a small pocket sized button, and has the appearance of the button of the evil scientists that would unleash a super stronk robot. The limitation of this thing is that you can only use it 5 per week. How much time you can undo depends on the gravity of what you did. So if you dropped your phone to a river it turns back time to when you're holding it firmly. Means you can't control how much you want it to undo. But it can only undo as much as one day. Note that you'll keep your memories of what you undid.

Heart Lock
It's a lock that locks all your feelings. When you use this lock, you do things like how a robot does; calculated. Nothing you do will be bad, as far as results go. The lock has a set time if it's own; you can't unlock it by your own will. It unlocks itself. How long it is? Only the lock knows.

The Ignored Cap
Wear this, and you'll be ignored by everyone. Literally. People would treat to you as if you were not there. Kinda like being an invisible man. Your actions still effect everything else. If you touch someone they'd feel it. You can take off the cap whenever you want to; there's no time limit on this one.

Hextech Adapter
Bearing the shape of a thumb drive, it will enhance any hardware. Anything that's considered a hardware. The hardware will be super charged and will perform x10 better. The limitations of this item is that after every use, it needs to be charged, and takes a lot of electricity/time to be fully charged. Also, you can't stop the hardware from being enhanced; you need to wait for the adapter run out of battery.

Translating Jelly
Once eaten, you will become a master of a language of your choice for one day. It isn't limited to human intersection. Needs to be eaten before it having an effect. Don't worry, you'll receive infinite supply of this jelly. It is advised that you don't eat the jelly everyday; it may cause side effects. Side effects include: brain malfunctioning (aka brain dead). Although, if you eat it every other day, you might be able to master a language of your choice, after a year.

Phew. That was one hell of a ride. Now vote! What item appeals the most to you?

Does the translation jelly let me understand languages by knowing how to translate those languages into English, or would it give me direct understanding of the words in question? Could I use it to become a master of English, for example, and understand all of the words in the English language that I'm not certain about? There are some far-reaching philosophical implications of this jelly.

My first impulse was to choose the Undo button, cleaning up mistakes and feeling like Garo was awesome but I chose the Ignore cap since it literally has no drawbacks; you can do anything you want and no one will bat an eye (if you aren't horribly reckless). My only question is that would it also apply to other kinds of presences like online presence?

It was between the jelly the adaptor and the undo button... Ignore cap does seem cool but the thing is everyone already ignores others, and the heart lock I know from personal experiences that you can drop all emotions in general (unless you are female) so I see those two as a meh... So the jelly would be awesome if you love anime so you can watch without subtitles or if you have friends that speak other languages, then there is the adaptor which would be great to enhance either your computer, phone, laptop, servers, router (when trying to kill it with a LAN party)... But the undo button seems the best to me because for five times a week I can say fuck it and kill a person only to hit the undo button or throw a chair out the window, hit and a girl and fail? Well undo it and try again, fail to sneak up on your friend as a joke, not anymore, I mean the possibilities are endless which is the reason I would choose the undo button

If I understand this correctly you could understand animals? Imagine being able to fully understand animals and speak back to them.



or yknow you could just do a Prince of Persia and the Sands of Time with the undo button and be the ultimate super soldier.

Ignore cap. The undo button only gets 5 uses per week. Ignore cap has no limitation.

5 undos per week seems op
Make it 3 or fewer

Two things.

1. If you still effect the world around you, like for example murdered someone in broad daylight. Would that then mean that you could getaway with any crime you want due to that everyone will ignore?

2. If its the ignored cap then that means its ignored right? Doesn't that mean the person who gets the cap would ignore it and would never use it?


But Ignore cap is definitely the best choice of them all.

I think people would ignore you while you were stabbing the guy, but they would try to get the guy medial attention and the crime would still be investigated. Your fingerprints would be all over the knife and then the police will release a picture of you hatless to the world (I'm assuming you have a criminal record with your prints on file, because let's be honest, of course you do). You find yourself in a situation where you'll be arrested as soon as you take the hat off. Your own family disown you and you'll never be able to talk to anyone ever again.

Ignore cap is like
The invisibility cap Annabeth Chase has, only that your sound is mute


The only thing neutral is translating jelly. You can speak in any fucking language, no negatives. The undo button is great, but undos to any time of the past, even to when you just got your phone. The Heart Lock is kinda boo, since who would want to lock their feelings for an unexpected length of time? It may even take years. Ignore Cap is for loners, but sometimes the feeling of being seriously ignored is shit, since you wont have any friends nor someone to love or talk to. Hextech adapter is for computer nerds, but kinda coo'.

It gives you a direct understanding of the words.
Yes.

I think you should have an option for 'none of the above', I certainly wouldn't want any of them.

Quote from DuckBeak

I'd choose the heart lock. If i program myself to do a certain thing, like a robot, my judgement won't be affected by irrelevant distractions. I could set my mind to curing cancer, and so long as the time limit is enough, my brain will attempt to cure cancer without any ceasing.

I'm not sure that's how that works. I think in that scenario, you'd want to cure cancer because your feelings say you do, but once you lock your heart, I don't think that for you as a person, unless you have cancer, curing cancer would be a logical thing to do, and you'd probably just not bother with it
Also, it's not like the heart lock will increase your intelligence or knowledge of certain subjects, it will only force you to make logical decisions instead of doing things based off emotional whims

It seems that the items that address negative repercussions are winning.
