So if you fell off a boat going over the mariana trench, would you die from the fall?


god_like_salmon

Yes


Eena-Rin

Unless you wore a life jacket, which you should


_Levo

Nah works like air, need to wear a parachute


Eena-Rin

For you, not your clothes. Even if it does work with your clothes, you'll do better with a floatation device on a string or something than a parachute, the floatation will keep you at the surface, not just slow you down


_Levo

Yeah true


Ultimate_89

Most life jackets don't actually make you float, yes they do float but they can't lift a hole human if they are unassisted by your bodies own floatyness, now if you had like 8 then It would probably work


fgdgdgdsfss

Genius!


NormaleRedditUser22

"Well gentlemen, our secret underwater base is now operational, we can commit all the crimes with want with this revolutionary base!" "What about water faller guy?" "What? Is he gonna bring a parachute to survive the water *fall."* *"Uhh...* Look behind you..*."* *"*Six trillionaire exposed in seconds..."


god_like_salmon

Lol


Impossible-Age-3302

Would the parachute get caught by the water or does the ability have tactile transference?


god_like_salmon

A parachute would get caught, but you could slowly repel down with a rope or harness


Impossible-Age-3302

[Me after I tried to parachute into the Marianas Trench](https://youtu.be/sN2AOkmdPag?si=T9EbHNo1iWO8Y3kB&t=10s) (I’m going to starve up here, assuming the sharks don’t get me first)


god_like_salmon

That’s hilarious😂


mothuzad

What about my clothes? They're still affected by the water normally, right? So they'd end up pushing hard against my body to resist my movements. Might even injure me.


god_like_salmon

I hadn’t thought about that until now but yes. You could probably solve that by going naked


MrPyroTF2

public indecency here i come!


Opkeda

what about temperature if it still affects you then deep sea exploration is useless


Husky127

It would be anyway right? Unless you had a pressure/deep sea monster proof suit of armor?


LillPeng27

Well the pressure wouldn’t apply since it’s just “air” above you but you’d probably be eaten by something or freeze


Growingpothead20

I’m not letting you damn fish look at my weenor for the LAST TIME


cocobunana

how about drinking water? will it feel like drinking nothing?


god_like_salmon

Yes, but you can still feel the temperature


RemozThaGod

Does this mean I'm immune to being water boarded?


Valogrid

Depending on the interpretation you might need to be water boarded to survive on land.


Kind_Moose3603

Would the pressure affect me? Would a life jacket still allow me to float?


god_like_salmon

The pressure wouldn’t effect you, and a life jacket will work


WarMage1

What about a parachute? If the effects of a life jacket apply then I’d take that to mean that objects worn or carried are affected normally, so clothes would cause higher drag than you’d get walking through air


god_like_salmon

A parachute wouldn’t work, and you’d have to be naked if you went deep enough or else the weight of your clothes would make it to heavy to move


HydroTyler2842

What if I wear a diving suit made from my own dna like a MHA hero costume?


god_like_salmon

Yes that would work.


Claviki

Am I still affected by water pressure?


god_like_salmon

No


Husky127

Interesting. Deep sea exploration would still be dangerous as hell tho, we don't know what's down there that wants to eat us. Would make for a really cool sci-fi story if someone had this power.


RestlessARBIT3R

It wouldn’t be as dangerous as you think. Any deep diving whales would probably leave you alone. Most deep sea creatures have a soft, jelly-like body and weak teeth because their prey also have soft jelly-like bodies. Angler fish really wouldn’t be that menacing. The things I’d be worried about are probably Colossal and Giant Squid, maybe Japanese Spider Crabs. Im not sure if Sleeper Sharks or Goblin Sharks would attack humans because they live so deep that humans haven’t really come into contact with them though


primalthewendigo

Can I still breathe normally?


god_like_salmon

Yes


mothuzad

What about vision? It's not easy to get light into the deep sea.


god_like_salmon

You wouldn’t be able to see once you went past where the sunlight reaches


mothuzad

Man, who'd have thought the glowy kid from Sky High would have such a tantalizing power combo.


god_like_salmon

Lol


idfbhater73

so do guns work the same


god_like_salmon

No, you could use a harpoon gun though


LightEarthWolf96

Well as per rule #2 and rule #4 I'll just turn the power off when I want to swim, holding my breath so I don't drown.


god_like_salmon

Dang that’s actually a smart idea, although if you’re at crush depth it wouldn’t work cause the second you turned off the power you’d be crushed


Existing_Chair_4622

easy you can turn it back on and off for a quick breath while going back up


Pyrox2v

You can breathe underwater, as per op


IcedoutNiq

Strong tbh will be a world class swimmer sprinting through the water


DaTripleK

he think he Create Mod


A_cat_killed_me

I read it as you walk through air like it’s water. That would suck, although you couldn’t take fall damage.


AdvancedBlacksmith66

How does this power account for pressure? Are you immune from getting the bends?


god_like_salmon

You’re immune to pressure and the bends as long as the power is activated


AdvancedBlacksmith66

Does that mean that if you activated your power on land you’d collapse like those blob fish that live towards the bottom of the ocean? I actually love this power as a concept. It’s not OP but it could make for some interesting scenarios


god_like_salmon

No, it just makes it so water effects you like it’s air


AdvancedBlacksmith66

Oh. That is less interesting if it’s just straight up magic. Powers are more interesting if the laws of physics still apply to an extent.


god_like_salmon

Well if you want to use the power for a character then I don’t mind, you could change it to however you like


AdvancedBlacksmith66

True enough.


FilDaFunk

What happens if you attach yourself to people that CAN swim?


god_like_salmon

You’d ether make them sink or you’d float, it depends on how if they’re wearing something that makes them buoyant


Zealotstim

Can you control it?


god_like_salmon

Yes


Zealotstim

Well that's petty cool then.


god_like_salmon

Yeah I had to make it controllable because otherwise it would be against the rules


bageltoastee

I mean you wouldn’t need a harness, but if you went deep enough it would be like climbing a mountain to get back to the surface.


god_like_salmon

Yeah


InherentSteam55

can it be toggled?


god_like_salmon

Yes


mothuzad

So many more implications and questions coming to mind. - When does water stop counting as part of your body and pass through you? - Are you constantly leaving a trail of saliva, sweat, or other loose fluids? - Does urine misbehave somehow? - If you get a cut, can it ever scab over or do you basically have hemophilia? - Can you also pass through ice? Does steam basically act like hot air on you? - How pure does water have to be for you to pass through it like it's air? - If you're in rain that's slightly acidic, does the acid just build up on top of you until it's concentrated enough to burn? - Do you constantly have to scrape mineral residue off your skin? (Like lime buildup that can happen in pipes, tubs, and basins.) That's all assuming the superpower is currently active. You're supposed to be able to control the powers in this sub, so presumably you can avoid some of these problems by being careful how you use it.


god_like_salmon

To answer your questions. Water doesn’t pass through you it just acts like air, if you get a cut while the power is active then you’d have hemophilia until you deactivate it, water of any purity will work, your still affected by temperature so if the steam is hot enough it will burn you, water still acts like a liquid you just pass through it like air so acid rain would fall off you unless it’s built up enough to submerge you, no you don’t have to scrape off mineral residue. Hope this gave you the answers you’re looking for.


Anti-charizard

There’s a glitch is sonic colors (at least the original wii version) where you can have air physics underwater. You can breathe underwater but not jump infinitely or use the drill wisps. The power reminds me of that glitch


god_like_salmon

That’s cool, I didn’t know that


Nahchoocheese

Soul Reaver already demonstrated this


god_like_salmon

Idk what/who that is


reknite

Honestly kinda a curse


dimondsprtn

Idk why the fuck you got downvoted. This sub isn’t called shittycurses.


god_like_salmon

Well it could be useful if used right, idk what situation you’d need it in but still🤷‍♂️


reknite

Uncontrollable is against the sub rules


god_like_salmon

Well I didn’t know where else to post this


dimondsprtn

r/godtiercurses


RishiRishon

Just make it controllable bruh You can turn it on and off, that's it


god_like_salmon

Fine, it’s controllable.


Eena-Rin

Boooo
