    I already cannot art.

    So if I have to choose between a talent billions of others already have (and cannot make a living on), or a talent literally nobody has, which could save countless lives and entire ecosystems…

    Yeah, not even a question. Rain.

      Bit of a silly question, isn’t it? With the ability to create rain you could end global hunger and stop climate change.

      Behold, the Sahara Jungle!

    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.”
