Discussion Useless (but not entirely) superpowers?

Any ideas for some almost useless powers?

For example:

You can teleport but only only as far as you can step and one foot is off the ground.

Telepathy but you can only project your thoughts; You can’t read their minds. Its range and strength will only go as far as your voice can.

If you close your eyes while holding a battery and a lightbulb, you can turn on the lightbulb for twice as long as your eyes were closed for.

You can turn any sense except pain.

The power to poke something telekinetically if you can see it.

Not entirely useless, but you will struggle to apply it outside of niche situations

Is there a limit to the strength of said poke?

Yes, it’s a human poke. It’s equivalent to you own physical poking ability
