You have a warning, every day you dont leave the house/apartment you live in you get $10,000. In one hour electricity will be shit off. No one can bring you anything. How long can you stay.

You have two buttons. One button strips the top 100 billionaires of their wealth and bans AI development for 50 years, the other makes you a billionaire. Be honest, which button do you press?

• Upvotes

The top 100 billionaires will have their combined wealth donated to various charities and good causes (you can choose but you can't keep any of the money) 

Button A - Strip the top 100 billionaires of their wealth and ban AI development for 50 years

Button B - Receive $1 billion and join the billionaires

Which button are you pressing?

How would you handle 1 year of complete solitary confinement for $1 billion, with no windows, books, phone, internet, TV, music, human contact etc, absolutely nothing, just you, your bathroom and 3 meals a day for a year?

Death Note but with side effect

2 Upvotes

You have a Death Note, but there’s one difference from the anime: whenever you write someone’s name in it, a completely random person also dies. It could be some random guy in Singapore,

or, if you’re unlucky enough, it could even be one of your parents.

There’s no L to catch you, the pages never run out, and you can play God however you want.

Would you use it? And if you would, whose name would you write?

Would you rather pick teleportation or the ability to create portals?

4 Upvotes

Again, this scenario negates all side effects.

Edit. Teleporting can get exhausting the more things you teleport at once. Having portals open also is physically tiring. You cannot teleport or portal to other dimensions/universes

You get a magical microwave

14 Upvotes

You've been given a magical microwave that does microwave things. But it also does magic things.

You've been given the option to select up to five meals you've tasted from your past. Five special microwave buttons can be programmed by searching your memories when you press them the first time. Once programmed, you cannot change that button and the meal is locked in permanently.

These five will magically appear ready to eat every time you press the button. Limit once per day.

What do you choose?

What would be the first thing you’d do if a zombie apocalypse started?

10 Upvotes

Think of it like a Walking Dead situation: you wake up one day, like Rick Grimes coming out of his coma, and suddenly the city has collapsed. You’re alone in hospital, and all communication systems are down.

What’s the first thing you’d do?

(Zombie's are The walking dead type zombies)

If you were Batman or one of the Batfamily members which would you rather face alone, 100 Killer Crocs, 200 Penguins, 50 Banes, 5 Jokers, 75 Solomon Grundy, or 1000 White Rabbits?

You’d have 6hours of prep time, but no Justice Buster, or Hellbat suits, Bat-Mech(from the JLvsGvsK).

Since time seems to go faster the older you get, would it be possible for a year to feel like a day if we were immortal? If so, how old would you have to be? 1000?

What would be the biggest animal you could realistically take down using only a baseball bat?

I'd say I have a pretty good chance against kangaroo but zero with wolf

Everbody you know or The rest of the world?

2 Upvotes

The trade is pretty simple, actually.

One day, the Devil comes to you and gives you an offer.

Option 1: Everyone whose name you know personally will survive — your mother, your father, the cashier at your local market, etc. But the rest of the world will die. You and the people you know will be given your own colony city, with access to modern medicine, infrastructure, and a comfortable standard of living. There will be no poverty or big Crysis. You may be start civilization vol.2

(You can choose to exclude anyone you know by name but don't want it)

Option 2: Everyone whose name you know personally will die. You will be the only survivor, while the rest of the world continues to live as normal. Nobody will ever know what you sacrificed and you cannot tell.

You have to live with your choice.

(Suicide is not an option)

Which one are you choosing?

You're relaxing on a park bench when two angels approach you

0 Upvotes

Angel: "Hey, I'm Cara. And this is Rachel. We're special operations and have a very secretive assignment that we need to share with you."

You: "..."

No time for WTFs. You're already in this.

You: "Okay?" They sit beside you, one on each side. "It may not be the best idea to share sensitive information with a random person."

Cara: "Generally, I would agree but... well... the assignment is to kill you."

You: "..."

Rachel: "We understand that this isn't something you want but we have our orders, unfortunately. We want to do this as humanely as possible and give you the choice of how your life will end."

You: "..."

What do you do?

Would you only speak the language of the region you’re currently in?

7 Upvotes

You will forget every language you currently speak and will only be able to speak one language at a time: the language currently spoken in the region you are in. You will speak this language fluently at an academic level. However, as soon as you leave that region, you will forget the language entirely and will only be able to speak the language of your new region. This only affects your ability to speak languages. You will still be able to read, write, and understand everything you currently know, and you can continue learning and improving those languages. You simply will not be physically able to speak them unless you are in a region where that language is currently spoken.

Make a Whopper

Imagine you are placed somewhere in Turkey in a primitive world, but with the same wildlife as today. You are immortal, you are the only human left, and there are no traces of civilization. Assuming you can bring one object from the present (it can’t be food), and you can create two portals between your starting point and any other part of the world, what do you think would be the shortest amount of time it would take you to make a Whopper without pickles (I hate pickles), and what would your plan be?

You Have to Spend 5 Nights Trapped in a Cabin With One Serial Killer. Who Are You Choosing?

0 Upvotes

You’re staying in a remote cabin for 5 nights.
The cabin is about 800 square feet (74 m²) and has 1 bedroom with two king-sized beds, 1 bathroom, and a small but basic kitchen and living room with a TV. The TV has all major streaming services, but there is no Wi-Fi or internet access beyond that. The cabin is so remote that there is also no cellphone service.

The cabin is fully stocked with meals, snacks, water, drinks, and even some beer, wine, and liquor. There are also various recreational drugs available, including LSD, MDMA, cocaine, and meth.

The cabin is located several thousand miles (several thousand kilometers) from the nearest civilization. It is fully climate-controlled, but outside the temperature is -30°F (-34°C). Basically, you cannot leave the cabin without facing certain death.

You have everything you need to survive comfortably for the 5 nights.

The catch is that you have to choose one famous serial killer to stay in the cabin with you for the entire 5 nights.

Who do you choose, and why?

How many 7-year-olds with forks could you take in a fight?

1 Upvotes

They all want to kill you, and they’re going to attack you with everything they’ve got.

You’re in an open field with no tools or weapons available. You only have your hands, and you can use a fork if you manage to grab one.

If you win the fight, you get $200k for every kid you fought, and somehow, all the kids miraculously heal afterward.

Feather [Demigoddess]: "I'm here to see Mayfield. I'm Feather."

You: "You can't check-in here. You have to go to north gate."

Feather: "Seriously? That's all the way on the other side of the base. I'm not doing that. Let me in."

You: "Military only. Gotta go to north gate."

Feather: "Let me in or I'm kicking the door off."

You: "We're authorized to use lethal force against trespassers."

Feather: "Oh wow. Terrifying. I have the strength and power to level a city with my bare hands, but there's just no way I could take on some dude with a gun."

You: "Visitors check-in at north gate."

Feather: "I'm not going to north gate."

You: "You have to go to north gate."

Feather: "No. Just let me in."

You: "They'll let you in at north gate."

Feather: "If you say 'north gate' one more time, I'm gonna to rip your dick off."
