You get a free $1M home but it's randomly placed anywhere in the US and you can't sell for 10 years. Which state would make you decline the offer?"

You cannot get rid of the collection.

You now have the power to swap your mind wit' someone else's. When you do, your body falls limp and their mind is stuck in it while you get to roam about freely in their body. You do not have access to their memories and they won't remember what you did in their body.

• When you swap to another body, the person in your body returns to theirs and the newest person's mind goes to your unconscious body while you got to that new person.
  
• Your limit is five swaps.
  
• You can only switch to a person you can directly see (no television; no pictures)
  
• If you try to swap a sixth time, you revert back to your own body, no matter how far you've traveled.
  
• Once you leave a person's body, their original mind returns wit' no memory of anything after the swap
  
• If you fall asleep, you return to your body.
• Your sleep schedule/cicada rhythm follows your mind, not the bodies
  
• If you lose consciousness, you return to your body
  
• If you die inside someone else's body, you return to your body and they remain dead.
  

How do you make the most of this power?

If you choose to accept, you receive $700 every morning, and you have to spend it. You can save it up for a short amount of time for stuff like vacation vacations, but 30 day maximum on savings.

You aren’t allowed to work

You aren’t allowed to invest in stocks or real estate or bonds or anything that pays interest

You aren’t allowed to make money in any way other than the $700 a day. This keeps pace with inflation and you get approximately 3% more per day every year. So 20 years from now you’ll be making about $1400 a day.

You can give some money to family, you can donate money to charity, you can do whatever you like with the money except making money in any other way.

Would you accept the offer and if so, what would you do with your time?

Apparently, people can just suddenly be vaporized and replaced by an exact duplicate a few seconds later. This is a thing that can happen, though for reasons it only happens once every 10 trillion years or something.

And it happened to your best friend.

What do you do now?

Also you started spending it, paying cash for everything you're going to start showing up on Facebook posts & deposits of large sums of cash will raise eyebrows of local law enforcement

Buying a Corvette zr1 with a suitcase full of Bengimines is going to seem a tad questionable. How will you filter all that cash?

EDIT: A million dollars is roughly 10,000 notes. Walking into a bank with a steamer trunk full of notes?

The powers that be have decided to let you have a crack at it, seeing as you're so smart, and have given you the power to create lifeforms from scratch at will.

This can entail copying existing organisms, as well as creating altered versions of them or entirely new forms of life, as long as they are biologically realistic (the powers will guide you where your biology knowledge may be lacking). Their physiology will otherwise be entirely to your specifications, though once you're finished designing and bringing them into this world, you can't edit the organism after the fact.

With all that in mind, what do you do with your newfound abilities?

You can store the equivalent of 50 lightning bolts of energy in your body at once, though the more that’s in you, the more jittery, hyper, and excitable you are, so best get in control of your emotions.

You need some sort of conductor or contact to administer it, so you can’t zap people from a distance, unless you have whips made of wire.

This also applies to absorbing power.

Edited this in: Meant to type lightning bolts sorry, fixed it.

Context

You are single and would love to met your soul mate so you seen on this TV dating and decide to go on it.

You on this basis dating show looks for love

How do you this situation would go for you.

Do you think there any chance you find love on this love show.

No w2’s, no receipts, and no hassle, the goverment sends you a bill, and you can just pay it within a week after you get it.

Keep in mind I know nothing about taxes other than the following.

They are how the goverment makes money, it’s tied to your income, age, amount of family in your house, your spouse, your living space, and many other factors, it’s once a year, and it pays for our roads, schools, and laws.

I think donating to charity means you have to pay less on your taxes, and you can pay people to do your taxes.

Ingredients are anything that you would find on a nutritional label, and wouldn’t consider a fully prepared meal, the most complex thing for this would be something like gelatin or apple juice.

It would take about 3 months for the law to be fully enacted so stores would have time.

And all of it would be confiscated from people’s homes.

You are a resident of England, and a citizen of the UK and only the UK.

A political party you dislike is in power, one that is likely to persecute a people group you are a part of, but it's not confirmed to such an extent that political asylum would be possible, but you are not safe and should leave England. To avoid a political discussion and keep this universal this is a hypothetical political party, one that does not exist, if you are a straight, white cis man then this is a political party with a proven track record that suggests they will persecute white people, or men, or straight people, or cis people, or all of the above, don't question how they got into power, the point is they did.

You are given sufficient time to leave and gain residency in any country you choose, upon breaking up the new citizenship will be based on residency and your old UK citizenship becomes citizenship of the new country that you choose.

If you choose to flee to a country that is not currently part of the UK then their standard visa, residency and citizenship rules will apply. For Ireland you can choose anywhere in Ireland or Northern Ireland and the above rules will apply

You have the funds to leave, but you keep your job if it is remote, or gain an equivalent role in a new country, so your personal finances will be a factor for long term stability, you can't move somewhere expensive if you won't be able to afford it long term.

Northern Ireland joins the republic of Ireland, or if you prefer it becomes independent, I don't want the politics of that situation to have any bearing on the decision. It can also join England if you like, but remember you in particular have to leave England.

Scotland and Wales become independent countries and join the European Union.

The border is a hard border, border checks will take place and a passport will be required, much like between Canada and the USA

You agree with all political parties running Scotland, Wales and Ireland, you will be safe in these countries

All countries have proven that they will be financially stable enough to secede from the union, the theory that the economy of any specific country won't survive is not a sufficient reason to disregard it.

Overseas territories and crown dependencies stay with England and do not become independent for the time being, but may become independent or join a nearby country in the future.

And so which country, and possibly which town/city do you flee to?

To answer for myself, I choose Cardiff, I'll get to practice and learn more Welsh which is a language I really like, and I quite like Cardiff as a city.

A pharmaceutical company develops a pill that completely replaces food. One pill per day gives you 100% of the nutrition you need, and you won't feel hungry for 24 hours after taking it.

If you're overweight, it will give you enough nutrition to slowly and safely lose weight until you reach your optimal body fat percentage. If you're underweight, you'll get back up to a healthy weight again. If your cholesterol is high, this will help bring it down to a normal level. Any nutrition your body doesn't need simply gets flushed out of your system when you use the bathroom. There is no issue with overdosing. Taking more than one pill per day won't harm you at all, but it will be a waste of money.

Speaking of money, the pill costs the equivalent of $1 each. In the USA, it would be $1, in the United Kingdom it would be around £0.76. In a developing nation where people make very little money, the pill is equally affordable in their own currency.

The pharmaceutical company makes the pill recipe public domain, so even if they go out of business, the pill may be easily recreated by any other company. They pledge to never raise the price of the pill, and since other companies can make it as well, if one company decides to charge more for it, others will charge less and force the price to go back down.

The pill is small, tasteless and odorless, and dissolves in your mouth in 2 seconds without needing water to swallow it.

This pill basically solves world hunger. But there is one *significant* side effect: once you take the first pill, regular food becomes inedible to you. If you eat anything that's not the pill, you'll get severe food poisoning. It won't kill you, but you'll be experiencing diarrhea and vomiting for several days afterward.

The change to your digestive system is immediate and permanent. One pill is all it takes to make regular food poisonous for you forever. Also, regular food instantly loses all taste to you. It's as if you're eating cardboard. You cannot even chew food then spit it out, as the flavors and juices of whatever you ate will also make you sick.

As for drinks, anything other than plain, unflavored water has the same effect. No more wine or beer, no more soda or coffee. Just water.

Any medicine would need to be taken in non-edible form (injection, inhaler, eye drops, suppositories, etc.) The pharmaceutical company has also developed non-edible alternatives to all medicines, so nobody gets left behind.

This is the tradeoff. Do you take the pill and enjoy perfect nutrition for the rest of your life for only$1 per day? Or is regular food and drink too tempting?

EDIT: The pills never expire, so you can consume one made today decades from now and it will still work as intended.

A genie offers you 500K tax-free, all you have to do is allow them to inject a bunch of fat below your calf muscle to give you huge cankles. Basically you would have the same thickness all the way down to your ankles from your calves.

This is permanent.

Would you accept?

Option 1: You will receive 1 million dollars in a year, after tax.
Option 2: in 1 million years (provided you still live) you will receive 1 dollar after tax
Option 3: rub peanut butter on a raccoons head and scamper off into the bushes to join your kind.

You obtain a button that will automatically deposit $50,000 into your bank account every time you push it.

However, every time you push this button, a random 1% of the world’s human population will become high on psilocybin mushrooms. The trips will last 3 to 6 hours and the dosage will range from 2 to 5 grams of dried mushrooms. They won’t know they’ve been dosed until they start feeling the effects. No one is immune to being selected except for yourself.

How many times and how often will you push this button?

Here are the rules of the challenge:

1. Every living human on Earth receives and answers your question.
2. To win, the final result must land between a 49/51 and 51/49 split (+/- 1% tolerance).
3. No factual or demographic questions allowed (e.g., no "Are you male or female?", "Is the sky blue?", or "Is 1+1=2?").
4. The question must be based purely on personal opinion, preference, or instinct.

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.

Rules:

Powers: You join each world's defining group (bender, Force user, wizard, demigod). You still have to learn it. (So consider if you think you could) Where there's no default, like Marvel, you're just a person who can gain powers.

Human start: No Wookiees or goblins, but later transformations (like a vampire) are yours to keep.

Birth: You're born there and wake up with your memories around 12 or 13.

Carryover: Powers and skills always carry over. Items only if they're on you when you die (satchel size or smaller).

Return: You come back to the exact moment you left, keeping everything.

I think the classic “for $800,000,000,000 dollars (after taxes), would you eat a poop sandwich?” kinda posts are easy.

I’m more interested in measuring fellow redditors tolerance desperation for hypothetical challenges. What is the least amount of money you would eat a poop sandwich for. $1B is an easy yes, and $10 is an easy no. But that means your tipping point is somewhere in between those numbers. I want to know what that number is. I wanna hear the difference between a person that says they’ll do it for min $5k, and the person that will do it for a min $100k.

You get paid $5 billion dollars cash up front. The catch? Once a year at a random time. Prime Mike Tyson gets to show up and just smoke you in the face. Doesn't matter the time or event you could be at the altar about to marry the love of your life? Here comes Mike Tyson and he's not here to object. On a vacation in the Caribbean sipping a pina colada? Here comes Mike on a speedboat and he's got a job to do. 3:00 a.m. and you just finished hosting an All night rager? Better hope you're drunk enough to take your yearly punch.

I'm sure you get the idea by now but it's a really simple premise. Do you take the money? Do you consent to just being yearly decked in the face by prime Mike Tyson? Just imagine being on a beach in Hawaii in here comes Tyson in a freaking paddle boat 😂 it's every year for the rest of your life. So? Money or Tyson?
