If you could have a superpower what would you choose

If I have to choose, it's either:
- Ability to talk to animals, so I can chill with all my cats and other cats in my neighborhood. Also I can tell roaches to fuck off.
- Immortality/eternal youth, so I can learn and try many, many things this world has to offers, become a globetrotter, see how far mankind evolve (or devolve), and so I can be there when PS 20 get released.
- Breathe underwater, because I like swimming.
 
The ability to understand and communicate in ANY form of communication. If that's too OP for your rules, then understand and speak/write any human language.

Not only would this assure me of a fat easy position in the diplomatic corps if not the intelligence corps of whatever nation was willing to pay me, I could also be a real petty motherfucker and go into foreign areas, wait for someone to say something insulting about the white guy tourist and humiliate the fuck outta them by replying in better (language) then their own. I'd also totally abuse it gambling or in any other situation where people speak a language assuming that I certainly do not speak it, and capitalize on it bigtime.

If any form of communication allowed, I wouldn't be near so petty. I'd become the bridge between the Great Apes and humanity, possibly helping prove they have true theory of mind and understanding of the world in the range of humanity, maybe even uplift them to sentience. Also could arrange the same possibly between humans and whales/dolphins, and on the lesser end of the scale, see if dogs really do love us or it's just canine programming, find out what cats REALLY think of their human owners, if parrots REALLY understand or just mimic us, etc. It would be fucking awesome.

ah kuntynuggets, @PoyoSato jacked my shit 10 days ago. I gotta remember ALWAYS read a thread to the end dammit!

Either:

The ability to make everyone around me tell the truth, because the sheer amount off chaos that would cause would be hilarious, or...

Optic beams like Cyclops. No real reason for that one, I just always thought they were cool.
 
Control all electromagnetic activity. I'd neuter this world until every Jewish girl was blacked and every Jewish male got sent to Israel
 
I guess the ability to predict the future. You could win the lottery, win any bet, make a fortune investing in startup companies and become the most respected political pundit by predicting exactly what any politician will do.

It would have to be one of those “at will” things, though. None of that angsty “accidentally seeing your own death” crap.
