Reddit Would You Rather: Infinite Pocket Sand vs Air Water
Posted by u/desert_fox on r/AskReddit · July 15, 2026
In an AskReddit thread about minor superpowers, a user posed: "Would you rather be able to turn sand into drinking water, or turn air into sand?"
While turning sand into water seemed like the obvious humanitarian choice, a creative commenter completely derailed the thread by championing "air into sand".
"Think about it," they wrote. "Creating sand out of thin air gives you infinite pocket sand for self-defense anywhere in the world. Someone tries to mug you? Boom, instantaneous sandstorm to the eyes."
The reply section spent hours building an entire fictional lore around the 'Pocket Sand Master'.
