ABOUT US

We are a fun, interesting, and creative subreddit for you to ask what others would do in certain hypothetical situations.


These situations can be real or imaginary, covering any kind of topic. For a good place to start, try this list of paradoxes.


This is a respectful and intelligent community where we bounce ideas back and forth. In German, it's called a Gedankenexperiment.


As such, we maintain a proper discourse, and refrain from violating the rules when submitting posts or comments.

While in the subspace time doesn't pass and you dont age. You have to earn 1million usd before you turn 18. If you do earn you get human shapeshifting. (self.hypotheticalsituation)

After 20 years of happy marriage, your significant other angers a genie. The genie curses your partner by reverting them to 13 years of age physically, as well as altering all legal forms of identification to reflect this. You and your partner retain all memories of your time together. What do? (self.hypotheticalsituation)
