The power to materialize anything I need for an easier life. Obviously not guns and stuff that I can use in a fight.

Understanding what women want. Like, not just guessing like we always do, but knowing 100%.

Change my hair at will. Style, color, length, etc. Then I wouldn't have to worry about wigs for cosplaying and focus solely on the costume aspect.
I raise you shapeshifting! I may not be allowed to use it to fight/commit crimes, but extra strength for moving stuff? Yes please! Extendo arms for reaching? Yup! Have the preferred body type for a potential mate (should I ever want to have sex)? Yup!

I guess it depends on what the 'line in the sand' limitations are. I mean, could I use shapeshifting to make muscle and then fight? Or can I use my shapeshifting to make myself susceptible to muscle gain, and then use that? Or do I need to put on muscle in my current form and fight like that? I mean, if you can shapeshift, then isn't everything you are an extension of your power? So does it just mean that you can't fight ever, or does it mean that you can't shapeshift after the fight begins, or to prepare for the fight, so I could shapeshift into a dragon, fly around, get into a fight, and then fight as a dragon?

I mean, if you can shapeshift, then you have no static shape, so you are whatever you make yourself. So if I shapeshift into someone twice my height, then I am that 'someone'. Shapeshifting is the process, not the end result, so if you were to isolate a crime/fight as an 'event' (starting with 'preparing for it', followed by 'the actual thing', and finished with 'the conclusion/clean-up') then does that mean I can't shapeshift mid-fight/crime, or deliberately shapeshift to be better suited towards a fight I am entering into? Can I only shapeshift after the entirety of the event, so if I committed a crime, I couldn't shapeshift to hide my identity?

This limitations thing does not work well with shapeshifting, because either it just doesn't work, or it is more practical than the OP wants it to be.
See, that's why I didn't pick shapeshifting if the catch is that the super power is supposed to be useless for crime fighting/making. What can I do with changing hair? Tie up evil doers? Defeat Green Lantern by making myself a blond?

Complete control over my memory. I can remember things I want perfectly and forget things I don't want instantly.

The power to set 'save points' in my life such that if I wished consciously to, became unable to wish consciously to (e.g. permanent coma/stroke/brain damage etc) or died, I could rewind my life to that point with the full knowledge of what happened (well, from my perspective). This of course could be very useful ala Groundhog Day, acting as a kind of precognition.

Though of course it'd be nice to be able erase/partially erase these memories if something truly shocking occurs.
That would be a useful superpower. Did you read the title?

I would have the ability to pour any variation of Coke from my finger like a tap, and Coke would no longer have any adverse affects on me whatsoever.

Alternatively, I would like to be able to play any MUSE song at will, either for my ears only or like a walking speaker.

Sadly, I've already got a superpower and it's a really shitty one ¬¬[footnote]My liver glows blue in the presence of Orcs[/footnote]

The ability to degrease my hair at will.
Because having unclean hair just makes any night where you have stayed out somewhere else and gotten little sleep just makes it so much worse.

My would either be to cast a "point of view" vision of a missing object I am looking for.
The other would be to generate a magnetic like sphere with my hand that will attact all the dust in my room. Once it's done I will have a large dust ball in my hand. Well that could be useful in fighting crime "Have a dust ball to your face foul fiend!".

The ability to hack anything on the internet by thinking about it.
I couldn't control HOW I hack it though. That balances it. Probably.
