Increase armlessness by 1%.

[Graknorke]

Increase armlessness by 1%.

Is this to accomplish anything, or just to watch people suddenly have no arms?

Mostly just for the lulz.

[Bohandas]

Government finds you have these powers. The odds of your survival drop as they dissect you.

Well destroying them would probably be the first thing I'd do with these powers anyway; the intelligence and military sectors at any rate.

How, exactly? "Reduce the size of X country's military by 1%"? I'm guessing the powers that be might figure something's going on.

Decrease the amount of intact load-bearing structures in intelligence buildings
Decrease the proportion of the world's officers and spies who do not have ebola, (or cancer, or walking ghost syndrome, or whatever)
Decrease defense spending
Decrease the number of republican officials who don't have deadly diseases
Increase the number of people who have forgotten 9/11
Decrease security at intelligence agencies
Decrease the per-building chance of intelligence and military buildings not burning to the ground on any given day.
Decrease the Pentagon's altitude relative to the surface of the moon
Decrease amount of NSA operatives who don't suffer from cluster headaches

So your solution is to cause widespread death and destruction? Congratulations, you're a supervillain.

[King Kravoka]

Decrease the amount of effort being put into capturing you by the government.

Solving the dissection thing is just a bonus, its more about these organizations being out of control and needing to be reined in.

So more like a dark superhero from an Alan Moore comic. "V" from V For Vendetta comes to mind.

[MDFification]

Increase the combined morality of the human race by 1%.

...good luck measuring morality?

Congratulations, everyone now conforms to Aztec morality. We're sacrificing 10% of the population to ensure the sun doesn't go out now!

But seriously, moral relativism.

[Arx]

Why not conduct some experiments on the nature of morality?

"Make one percent of the population objectively moral."

[Bohandas]

Making everyone smarter would be another good option.

Increasing the efficiency of solar cells would be a good thing to do too.

[IcyTea31]

Why bother with solar cells, when you can create a perpetual motion machine as I described last page?

[Baffler]

Why bother with solar cells, when you can create a perpetual motion machine as I described last page?

Because that wouldn't work. You'd go from 90% efficiency to 90.9%, and so on, approaching but never reaching 100% efficiency.

[IcyTea31]

90%
90,9%
91,809%
~92,727%
~93,654%
~94,591%
~95,537%
~96,492%
~97,457%
~98,432%
~99,416%
~100,41%

11 days, or is my math wrong? Why wouldn't it reach 100%? By the laws of physics, sure, but since when have superpowers followed those?
