Power

[rowyn]

Knowledge = power
Internet = a large fraction of the sum of all human knowledge, at our fingertips.
Therefore, we are all as powerful as superheroes.

... so it turns out that, if superheroes were real, they would mostly use their vast powers to look at cat gifs.

Probably better than them using their vast powers to destroy city blocks while having petty quarrels. -_-

There is that. I suppose flame wars are less destructive than the average superhero vs villian fight.

Superheroes MAKE the cat gifs.

True! *flexes her photoshop*

Silly power uses: telepath makes everybody see silly captions on the animals around her.

Hee! "Dear, stop putting thought bubbles on the cat."

"Awww, Mooooom...."

"What if it's what the cat really thinks of us?"

"Especially if it's what the cat really thinks of us!... and while we're on the subject, stop putting them on babies, too!"

Just what I was thinking; befriended on the spot.

Superheroes also fund cat rescue organizations.

Supervillains supply them with bureaucrats.

So much evil. c.c

Knowledge is power.

We know less than ever before, because we've invested all our knowledge in the internet and go to ask questions of it many times per day if we need to get some back.

So we're all minions of a supervillain. Everyone knows supervillains like cats.

... sounds legit.

You mean like Supergirl?

(I think Batman has some interest, too.)

[archangelbeth]

VALID!

As any supervillain can show, there's way worse uses for vast power.
