Disgusting and likely painful, would have to be done somewhere private

You’re worried about manners??
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I mean, the point of shapeshifting is to be sneaky

Your brain shape shifts as well into an exact copy of the animal you mimic. You have the intelligence of the creature you turn into. Which means a one way trip as any coherent logical human thoughts is driven out by animal instincts.

If I shapeshift into another human, I’d just have their memories
OZFive@lemmy.world 4 days ago
This would have infer that your shape shifting skill had the ability to mimic not just their DNA but their nueral patterns as well. Without that you are again just left with instinct and a blank slate brain with no memory or knowledge.

Oh my god, Memento meets Animorphs.
Holy shit this is actually a good idea, I would actually read this book or watch this movie…
It could also work in a video game, but it would be very difficult to pull this off as the player character… could make for some extremely interesting NPCs in various settings.

Your clothes are not transformed with you

Still works. I just gotta shapeshift into someone about my height

You shapeshift, including your mind. When you change into a person, you take on all of their memories as well. You become a complete copy, and the old you simply ceases to exist. If you turn yourself into Donal Trump, there’s just a random copy of the president sitting in your apartment, utterly confused about where he is or how he got there. And the ability to shapeshift was a power of your old body. The new one can’t shapeshift.

Your weight also change, but the difference is converted to energy using mass–energy equivalence formula.

Grow slowly -> walking air cooler
Shink rapidly -> Boom
Holyginz@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Wouldn’t it be more like: Grow slowly -> burn proportional amount of calories Since you would need to get that energy from somewhere
Gutek8134@lemmy.world 4 days ago
So you’d be interpolating between a keg-shaped dwarf and slenderman; sounds nice, too
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 4 days ago
So I just need to keep my weight constant

But comes with body dysmorphic disorder. You’ll never be satisfied with how you look.
jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
Not until you finally get it right, and at that point you look like a total freak to everyone else. But at least you’re satisfied.

Granted, but you can never turn back
Lycist@lemmy.world 4 days ago
access to all animal shapes, but can only use them once, stuck in final form forever.

Oh no… I’m a cat. Done and done.

You can only shapeshift into smaller versions of yourself.
dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 4 days ago
That’s not really a side effect, more of a condition.
hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 days ago
Every time you shapeshift, you lose the ability to shape shift one more atom than the last time you shapeshifted?

Like a Ramen card in Balatro

You can only shift into a species that you’ve seen before. Can only shape shift into living things (not sentient and mobile inanimate objects)
And you can never return to any species you were previously. It has to be a new one every time until you exhaust the possible species. Leaving you stuck as the last possible species you pick to shape shift into.
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Wait, but can I shapeshift within a given species?
phr@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
you shapeshift, but your state and society will periodically and randomly remind you, that they know, what shape you had earlier … wait, that does already exist. still superpower tho!
OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 4 days ago
You can’t actually become anything unique, the body approximately closest to your imagination becomes yours. They also, become you in turn. You immediately become a world wide sensation if used frequently.
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 4 days ago
That’s not shapeshifting, that’s body swapping
Jarix@lemmy.world 3 days ago
You forget what you like if you are changed for too long and don’t have a detailed enough reference
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 3 days ago
A matter of keeping some hair in a jar as well as a photograph of mine

It hurts extremely because your whole body is physically altered.
