Being unnoticeable
Being a spy. Did I crack the code??
Not really. Spies need a handler. If no one can know then you can’t tell anyone the secrets so you’re a terrible spy.
Schrodingers spy.
Can’t know I’m the best, cab still think I’m a half decent spy yknow
Acting like I suck at things
Give me something like physics. I’m just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can’t be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.
Nowadays I’m busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.
Alone time 😉

World’s happiest hand, just discovered!
Social engineering. Give everyone a sense of agency but make the world in my image.
You sound like a lead anime character, and I mean that in the best way.

Nice try…
Sleeping.
Cracking DRM. Win-win.
Judging from some of the prolific ones out there, cracking DRM requires you to also be absolutely batshit insane.
I should give cracking a go.
That type of hacking is mind-blowingly complicated. Literally. It’s impossible to understand it all without being batshit insane.
Future’s market.
Inciting the revolution.
I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…
Game this is easy: I will be the best at commiting crimes without getting caught. In your face Moriarty
I was going to say “robbing banks” but I prefer the generality in your answer.

Time to contribute great code to tons of open source projects, completely anonymously of course.

Being famous, in order to create a paradox.
It doesn’t create a paradox. It just creates the same situation I’ve been thinking about for 30 years.
If I had any musical talant, I would be “Cheesy McSneezer” and my band would be “Cheesy McSneezer and the Cheesy McSneezer 7”. It’s a death metal jazz lounge band. They create all original music, but nobody knows who Cheesy McSneezer is. You hear him on all the albums, but every time you go to the concerts, the band tells you “Sorry guys, I know you came out for a great show, but Cheesy McSneezer couldn’t be here tonight. So instead, please welcome our one night only temporary lead vocals…(Insert any random well known musician here)”
And every show, the reason why Cheesy couldn’t make it changes, and is always completely absurd. And every album cover is like 100,000 people all coming together for a photo shoot. Somewhere in the photo, Cheesy McSneezer is always on the album art…but it’s never aparent which one he is. And the photos are taken from so far away that you really don’t have any up close visuals to cross reference the other photos with.
So every concert, is technically a famous musician doing cover songs for a guy that nobody knows who he is, but also everybody knows who he is.
If you haven’t seen the movie Frank, I’d recommend it
Based on a true story, unbelievably
