I feel like you’re asking me would I give up the ability to make art in order to gain the ability to make rain.
Yes. Yes I would. I would be sad but saving lives would be worth it. I can think of dozens of drought regions that desperately need rain.
That probably makes it a guarantee, but I think it would paint an enormous target on your back for governments or worse to want to experiment on you.
I think I’d agree with you and I’d want to blow up on social media first ensuring that if anything were to happen to me, like a sudden disappearance, that it would be easily noticed and there’d be uproar.
But maybe we can do it without anyone seeing? Like just turn up as a tourist (or NGO volunteer), wait a few weeks, then secretly make it rain.
if i get to make it rain, you guys better start building that ark ASAP
Is making art with the rain an option?
Sand darkens when wet so that could make a cool canvas, theoretically.
You could also play with that “wall of rain” effect you sometimes see when you are just outside of a heavy rain area.
Alternatively, just make “social commentary” like a torrential downpour on the financial district. Sometimes art is just revenge.
If they’re exclusive to each other, making art. I don’t like rain anyway.
I don’t really understand art. So creating it, if I didn’t also receive the ability to appreciate it, would be dumb. I guess I’d go for rain, and then just go to drought areas around the world.
What if I could create art so good, it summons rain? 🤔
Create art.
Well anyone can create art, so probably the rain
But that’s impossible.
Did you make this post just to say that? -.-
No. Jeez, think about it for 2 seconds.
If you summoned rain you’d be ruined forever. Exit consensual reality. Goodbye certainty about all that. You are now one of the crazies. Alone.
Even if it’s real, it’s scary.
You are losing your position as one of the sane adults. All of the knowledge you were fed all through your life is a little bit like poison now.
You just broke your world.
Doing psychedelics and then posting on the internet is not a great idea.
Only if the rain magically creates the water otherwise I’d probably screw up some weather patterns and would be responsible for horrible famines or devastating floodings or whatnot.
Gonna make Alanis Morissette proud
I can summon rain but I’ve always wanted to learn macaroni art.
I can already summon rain, so I’m set. And despite part of my job literally being a graphic designer, I kind of suck at art with traditional media. So I’ll take the art.
All I have to do to make rain is show up somewhere with camping equipment. I have about an 80% success rate, and as a consequence a very comprehensive clothing and equipment loadout for dealing with wet.
No joke, I once cured a drought in Wyoming back in, like, 2012. I rocked up with my homies in Dubois, WY outside of Shoshone and we stopped at a little diner there. The waitress was bellyaching about the dry spell they’d been having and we told her not to worry, we’d go up the mountain and pitch our tents and it’ll rain, guaranteed. She laughed. She didn’t believe us. So we did, and it immediately rained for 3 days solid. It started to tail off just as we were leaving.
We stopped by that diner again on our way out, and I stuck my head in the door just to say, “You’re welcome.”
Chris? Is that you?
+1 for the reference. Such a funny little interlude in the books.
I hesitate to use the word skill because I suspect there is a better word choice. However, depends on the level of skill bestowed upon me.
Am I able to safely summon a typhoon, Sharknado, monsoons? Could I create 3D waifu models with ease, draw a full length cartoon with no effort, well and quickly?
Personally, I enjoy the idea of art and if I was given ability above and beyond what AI and your average artist’s capacity I’d want that. I don’t believe I should be trusted with the capacity to create dangerous weather anomalies.
