Got this through our letterbox yesterday. What sort of supernatural powers do we think they're talking?

I did always quite fancy the power of invisibility when I was younger although nowadays I'd probably pick teleportation. Not sure where "supernatural power" ends and "superhero power" begins, though 🤔

Maybe this is more like the ability to be slightly see-through and float 6 inches off the ground. Which I guess is still cool in its own way.

If the gal in the 3rd position there is any indication, I think the only superpower you might gain is the ability for your drill to be the drill that pierces the heavens.

Edit: The part about "Falun Gong" tickled one of my neurons. I thought to myself, aren't those the whackadoo tai chi aliens people?

Yes. Yes they are.

Ah, ok, just clicked the link. That's hilarious - support for plucky mystics oppressed by communist China until they go, "heaven is racially segregated". Um, hang on...

In America, Falun Gong followers are often massive Q-anon conspiracy believers, overt racists, and Trump fanatics. Further proof that that group is filled with nutters.

Wow, I had no idea. I thought it was just a spiritual woowoo kind of thing.

From what I understand, it's mostly that they're TOTALLY OK with the sort of shit China has been doing. They're just mad it's not THEIR boots.
