I'd love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I've seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 9 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

You can dance if you want to!

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 4 points 22 hours ago

I do, and I love it! But I also need to face the fact that I'm not very good at it 😁

Playing the piano and other instruments like a master. Music conveys feelings we can’t convey otherwise.

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Playing the piano, or just singing at a professional level. Would be amazing to know, but takes years of constant practice and teaching to learn.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Seconding Piano. I'm a reasonably decent guitarist, but there aren't many everyday situations where this comes in handy unless you're a professional musicians.

However, Pianos are casually placed everywhere, intended for public use. Especially in airports for some reason. I would love to woo random people passing by by flawlessly playing Hiromi Uehara or Jordan Rudess.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If I had that technology, I would upload everything available on file. The common fictional notion that you could "fill up" your brain is wrong.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Soooo..... you think the brain has unlimited data storage capacity?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 15 hours ago (8 children)

The plasticity of the brain also gives it near unlimited storage capacity. There's a great episode of Curiosity on what obstacles would have to overcome to achieve immortality, and one of the topics it goes into detail on is brain capacity and functionality.

Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I'd love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn'tma.

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It is but its a 20 sided dice roll after that. And you critically fail....

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago

Pick your battles, so to speak.

Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

being able to inspect/ appraise any item and get comprehensive details about it.

it would be great to spot antiques and famous works from garage/ lawn sales.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago

Ha! I'm imagining a DC comic book about "appraisal man"!!

[–] thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 20 hours ago

Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.

How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 1 points 15 hours ago

A2 is still a novice. I can read it reasonably well. Generating words on the fly is hard. Listening is harder.

Skateboarding. Looks so fun

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 5 points 23 hours ago

I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.

People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.

maths.

I never had enough brains to not suck at maths.

The ability to sew anything. I love to binge sewing vids so being able to take some scraps and make cool shit would be amazing.
