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.

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 security, don't forget to subscribe. [Music]
