I have a bit of a mundane superpower. I have a higher than average propensity for streetlights to go out when I walk under them. Maybe it's something that happens often and other people simply don't notice it, but I've had several people say that it does seem to happen at an abnormally high rate with me when I've asked them about it.

I have also felt like this my entire life. Rather than a superpower, I've always imagined that I'm haunted by some low-level evil spirit that only has power over street lamps.

My mother interferes with radio signals.

Well, a streetlight never went out as I walked under it...

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I used to see streetlights go out when driving under them pretty frequently
