Is there a way we can see the writing more clearly?

The bigger one is to big for nabble.  So here's a link : Press a Button

I'd go with Orange (space/time manipulation) and Cyan (100 year superhero).

First considered Grey (regeneration) but it doesn't say you'd stop aging.
So Grey just makes you harder to kill, and Cyan is better in that area.

Okay, so it seems, since my post level is beyond 'quads' (ie the thousands), I get 3 sub-powers from 1-99, all of the perks, and I get to pick three buttons instead of two. That said:

Buttons: Green (Cycloptic Precognition, Martial Arts Mastery, Superhuman Reflexes), Cyan (100-Year Superhero) and Yellow (Panmnesia, Osmosis, Superhuman Dexterity, Social Intuition, low-level Telepathy)

Perks: All (Sleep Immunity, Superhuman Breath-Holding, Superhuman Food Metabolism, Food-Poison Sense, Food-Poison Immunity, Hunger Immunity, Penetration Vision, Superhuman Senses, Perfect Pitch/Perfect Voice, Superhuman Intelligence, Superhuman Memory, Omnilingualism, low-level Telepathy, Precognitive Dreaming, *ahem* Genital Enhancement)

Sub-Powers: 22 (Full Telepathy), 77 (Technopathy, Electrokinesis), 88 (Full Teleportation)

So, yeah, basically, I'd be pretty set. Indestructible, peak physical condition, and quite the force to be reckoned with. And hopefully, during that 100 years, I'd be able to use my knowledge acquired through Osmosis, Superhuman Intelligence and Panmnesia to maybe bring about the events of New Beginning, so I can make the whole lot of us reality benders and get rid of my dependence on the 100-year time limit.

 Oh! Well, in that case, Cyan (100-Year Superhero) and Yellow (Panmnesia, Osmosis, Superhuman Dexterity, Social Intuition, low-level Telepathy), plus all the other stuff I said.

You don't understand how this works. It doesn't matter how many posts you have, only the last digits of the number matter. For example, my post number after this would be 5,245. Whatever bonus I would get from this would be the same as if I only had 5 posts. Doubles is having the is having the same number twice in a row, like my previous post count of 5,244. The 44 is the only part that matters. Same with tripals and quads. 7,999 would be triples and 554,444 would be an example of quads. 6,545,634,534,655 would still only be doubles.

Taking this into account, I pick the creamy button that lets me summon whatever food I want because that one is capable of doing the most good. I could single handedly end world hunger. Also, it doesn't specify that I can only make the food I create vanish, simply "food." It also fails to to specify at what range I can do both this and multiply food. I could conceivably open up a national geographic, turn to a story of some poor starving African village, and multiply all the food there from the comfort of my living room. Or just picture the Earth and do it worldwide, anonymously.

It also doesn't define what "food" is, so I'll use the one that's in the dictionary.

Dictionary wrote
Food

noun
1. Any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth.
This means that I would effectively be able to create any animal besides things that don't get eaten, such as apex predators and things that are so big nothing eats them like the Blue Whale. Even those I could probably create as infants or, stretching the concept a little further, create them outright because their bodies are eaten by scavengers. Because when it comes right down to it, what's the difference between a carcass and a beef pattie? In fact, going further, the animal does not even have to be living today so long as it was, at one point, considered food. This effectively gives me the ability to create not only any animal (including human beings) so long as I can picture it in my mind, but to revive extinct species. Another uncertainty is whether I can create fictional food, such as the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. If I am capable of this then, combined with what I have just described above, I would also have the ability to create any fictional  creature provided they are shown or described to be preyed upon as food. In addition to this, I would also be able to create "boring" stuff like plants, antibiotics (including fictional ones), water, and light. Certain essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and oxygen are also on the table, as well as nutrients in the soil that are necessary for plants to grow.

Now, with all that in mind, remember that I also have the ability to make "food" disappear, with no apparent range or scale restrictions.

The "never get fat" part is kind of worrying, since it's a gamble on whether that means A). My body is super efficient at utilizing it's energy or b). My metabolism is just working incredibly quickly.

My post ends in a 5, so I can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel what someone else is doing. This either lets me know the actions of any sentient being I choose in the universe, or lets me know what one random person in the universe is doing. Regardless, if it's an alien I can make it and anything it eats. I know have access to extra-terrestrial cuisine and wildlife, maybe, if i tune in to the right being. And maybe, If I judge them to be peaceful and intelligent, I'll multiply their crops into symbols and try to establish first contact that way.

In light of this, Perk 2 would be be a good precaution to take. While I wouldn't need the 10 times effect of food, knowing if something is poison would save me a lot of trouble. I would also pick perk 6 because understanding people would be good for my humanitarian efforts. Perk 1 would allow me to spend more time doing what I want after handling things like ending universal hunger, terraforming mars, and enabling interplanetary communication. Maybe I'll spend it building some new planets considering I'm creating mass from nothing.

So animals and plants are food, thus can be created.  Interesting point of view.

Now I dread the possibility of a cannibal who pressed the creamy button...

...  

On second thought.
The cannibal probably wouldn't press that one since there's already an abundance of that food source.

 Or, they'd want to pig out, and would pick that button to create yet more.

 And chimichangas.

But to be honest, that world, I could stand to live in.

I was thinking Jirachi, so I could wish the rest of the Pokemon species and Pokemon world into existence, as well.

And I got Radioactive Silver Spirit.

Ditto since it has been shown to be able to turn into things without having to have the thing there. Backup would probably be Umbreon.

I got Daring Growing Beast.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

None of these names would be out of place in One Punch Man.
