You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.
This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.
“Ha ha ha, let’s throw a bucket of water on this nerd!”
“Don’t make me wet. You wouldn’t like me when I’m wet.”
Gets bigger but not any heavier or stronger
sounds like a she hulk porn lol
Fuck you, I’m doing both and glowing harder the bigger I get.
There we go, Halloween sorted.
I guess the grow bigger in the water thing because I can’t imagine how hard it would be to fall asleep if I’m glowing.
How bright would I glow? Enough to read by?
Yeah, like a dim yellowish greenish light that you can just about read by
My eyesight’s pretty weak, so I’m not sure that would do it… but on the other hand I could navigate the house at night without bumping my shins on furniture. I think that’s enough to sell me on glowing.
It might be harder to navigate. Looking past your own glowing eye sockets could make your eyes adjust to the closer, brighter light and leave you night blind
I’d need time durations on the size changes… But obviously the size changes.
Other comments indicate you also get heavier, a bath each morning followed by exercise could be interesting with the extra weight.
Also you’d have documentaries made about you. It’s a completely novel behavior… And what happens if you soak just a part of your body… Your penis for instance?
The glowing? Technically you could already do that, genetic scientists have already created glow in the dark pigs, so glowing seems similar. No more hiding in the dark, you’re a beacon now. If a mugger or the cops are chasing you… Oh there you are. Not really helpful like being three times taller and heavier because you had a bath would be.
You had me sold on the water growth thingy in paragraph 3.
Do you grow to a maximum size in water? Or do you just keep growing the longer you stay in contact with water? If the latter then I think glowing in the dark is the less inconvenient option.
Yes, to a maximum size about 3 times your regular size.
Then it would still be less inconvenient to glow in the dark since showering would become a real problem.
It does say slowly, we really need more information about the rates at which you grow and shrink. Still I think the growing in water thing at least seems to have some potential positives whereas glow in the dark is just annoying.
I imagine guys would do it just so they could have temporarily larger penises.
I know I would.
“Babe, I’mma wreck your holes tonight, let me hop in the bath.”
Would you be able to stay hard when you grow? We haven’t asked enough questions.
People with penises get hard because of blood flow to the penis, so I imagine absorbing water might have a similar effect 💀
Life, uh, finds a way
If only your volume increases while your mass stays the same, your density would decrease which might potentially save you from drowning.
Does the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?
Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I’d grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain
Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water
It’s like a sponge. It takes several hours to get to your maximum size.
Any super strength? Like 3 times my strength or would I just be big. I could do advertising for a boat salesman or something. “bigger than huge sale this weekend!” And other such methods.
The second sounds like it has far more room for stupid bullshit, so that one
“You look a little small. Are you drinking enough water?”
I assume hyper-stretchy clothing isn’t a reality yet? Getting caught in a rain storm would be inconvenient. I think I would still go with water growing. I need near complete darkness to sleep. And glowing skin would be hella annoying in a movie theater.
Wait, how do I drink water? Get slightly bigger then shrink back?
It’s night half the time, and I’ll be really visible if I’m glowing whether I want to be or not. So, definitely the second one. Prolonged water contact in a visible place is easier to avoid, if needed.
I plan to re-enact Gulliver pulling along the Lilliputian armada.
Wear opaque clothes
Ah shit, why didn’t I think of that?
You would have to cover everything including your face, though, and that can get you funny looks in a different way.
Ski mask and sun glasses ;) since you need it sitting dark night, it didn’t matter much, how it looks. Reminds me in the movie “Hollow Man”
But imagine that you get stuck in a water pipe or wedged somewhere in a rain storm. Glowing is annoying but not nearly as bad as potentially drowning because your car crashed into a lake and you can no longer escape through the window.
I feel like those situations are already life-threatening to some degree, so I’ll take my chances.
I’d assume growth over the course of just exiting a car wouldn’t be too significant.
Take a shower and destroy your house. I’m going for glowing.
If it’s toy dino-speed, you’ll be significantly taller after a longer shower, but not giant, and nothing will break. If I actually do the thing from the Spongebob opening on contact with water, I’d reconsider.
If I put part of me in say a glass of water then would it just be the part in the glass that slowly grew and how fast and how much.
Like, a cylinder?
You’re gonna put your dick in a glass of water, huh?
Let me ask you if you’ve ever heard about the Yardhouse’s older Full Yard sized glasses. I’m thinking water would go real well in one of those.
Like a thimble of water?
is this ‘glow in the dark’ like i’m radioactive and constantly glow a little bit, or is this ‘glow in the dark’ like i absorb a little bit of light and slowly re-emit it, so if i wait long enough in darkness i’ll stop glowing?
You constantly glow with a dim yellow-green light, just bright enough to read in
Is it only my skin or, like, the inside of my eyelids too?
Just the outside of your body
I can imagine glowing in the dark would be both a blessing and a curse depending on the circumstances. If you’re lost in a cave that could be lifesaving. Trying to sleep in the dark though? That’s gonna be tough haha. I think I’d still choose to glow in the dark though so I could fuel sweet rave parties
Do you get bigger by absorbing air (thereby increasing your buoyancy) or by absorbing water (with the opposite effect)?
By absorbing water
Do I feel bloated when I take on all this water weight?
you would sink though.
Sex would be weird, but probably a good kind. Until it’s painful.
You’d basically be a dog.
