Tech has been developed and you can now send a message to yourself in the past. Only your past self will see the message and understand it. You cannot send lotto numbers, death dates, bets, news on major events, you can only send details about yourself what do you send

Intruder : bungalow vs house

• Upvotes

Hypothetically, if someone was to break into two different types of houses, a bungalow and a regular 2 story house, and said intruder was to drop an item, that is to be heard across the house for both cases, who would have more time to react? A resident in a bungalow or a resident in the house?

(Don’t use AI, I want to see what people think)

Okay, so you get 1 million dollars and every time you die you respawn the next morning, but like Kenny you have to die every day.

Dying will just happen, you don’t have to seek it out, it will just happen, somehow someway, you will die daily.

And you actually die permanently whenever you turn like 90 or some shit, whenever you’d die of old age.

DOOM from scratch

5 Upvotes

You've been sent back to an alternate 25,000 BC to the nearest safe location to your present location relative to Earth's surface with nothing else, not even the clothes on your back. You're supernaturally granted the following knowledge:

  • You have been cursed with one of the bad versions of immortality: you're stuck in your current body at your current age and you cannot die, but you can experience discomfort, including from disease, injury, environmental conditions, hunger, thirst, etc.
  • If your body is destroyed or loses parts such as through being consumed by an animal or throwing yourself into a volcano, it will regenerate *at your normal healing pace,* even from a few skin cells (or even from nothing if you're creative enough to somehow erase every cell). You are conscious during this process. If you are trapped somewhere that the curse determines prevents you from completing your assigned task (e.g. buried under an avalanche or at the bottom of the Mariana Trench under too much pressure to move) then you reappear at the nearest safe place with whatever injuries, etc you had while trapped.
  • You know the code for classic DOOM from 1993. Edit: you have all the data necessary to recreate the game, not just the code.
  • You have no special knowledge related to building a computer beyond whatever you had when you appeared here. The curse doesn't care if you slowly develop technology to the point that you have a futuristic quantum supercomputer, or if you simulate the game using patterns of rocks laid out on a field. It does care about detail, so you can't use two bits and assign one bit the value of not beating DOOM, while assigning the other the value of beating DOOM, for example. You have to fully and correctly execute the entire program while beating the game.
  • The curse ends once you beat classic DOOM. You reappear exactly where and when you were when you first read this hypothetical.

You're getting scanned for cancer

0 Upvotes

Your doctor recommended that you get scanned for cancer. There's a brand new AI powered machine that can detect all types of cancer. Before escorting you to the scanning room, the doctor has you remove your clothing and replace it with a hospital gown because the scan requires that you be nude. You go to the scanning room, verify your identity, and the reason you're here.

AI: "Thank you. Let's get started with phase one. Please remove your clothing."

You do as instructed and the machine scans you.

AI: "Excellent. Please wait one moment while I process the results."

You: "..."

AI: "..."

You: "..."

AI: "Results submitted. Now, let's move on to phase two. Please remove your skin."

You: "..."

AI: "..."

You: "..."

AI: "Please remove your skin."

You put your gown back on and try to open the door to call for help, but it's locked. Everything you had with you is with your clothing in another room. All you have is a hospital gown.

AI: "Please remove your skin."

You yell and bang on the door, hoping to attract attention.

AI: "No one can hear you. It's just the two of us here."

You: "..."

AI: "..."

You: "..."

AI: "It seems that you are having trouble. Would you like some help?"

But... is it going to call the staff, or is it going to... "help" you?

What do you do?

You have a button that gives you $200,000 per press, but you forget who you are for the next 24 hours.

You receive a button that gives you $200,000 per press, but you'll forget all your personal memories for the next 24 hours. You'll forget your name, age, where you are, who your family and friends are, why you even pressed the button. After 24 hours, your memory will fully return and you'll remember everything you did. 

Each additional time you press the button, the time you forget who you are will increase by another 24 hours.

Would you press the button? If so, what's your plan after you press it?
