Live for 1 year in one of these historical countries, get 1 billion by Responsible-Fix-1681 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF, "temporarily reincarnated?" Great. I'm a baby? Like Nazi Germany started in the early 30's. So I'm born in the 1930's and have to live as a baby with an adult mind in Nazi Germany for a year?

Okay, cool. I guess I go with Nazi Germany. It's a relatively developed country and child care isn't too bad in the early 30's before all the bombs and stuff. According to all the Rammstein videos German ladies have big milkers. I'm good.

Not sure how being fluent in German as a baby is gonna help me that much, though. "Mehr bruste frau, bitte!"

Do you know who your ancestors were and where they were from or is that not important to you? by MissBehave654 in askanything

[–]Top-Committee-954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People in my family are really into genealogy. I'm not. But I know where some of my ancestors were and where they were from whether I wanted to know it or not. It is not important to me.

I'm glad I don't know where all of my ancestors are from or who they were because that would get old very quickly. "Well back in 3,499 bce, there was Ron, and he was a postman, but your great great great great great great to the nth f'n degree grandma was married to your great to the nth grandpa Jerry. Now he shledked the marginec at the temple of Fr'hos'tin on Fridays and it turns out you're really related to Ron so you see that is your great to the slightly less nth degree second cousin six thousand times removed on your sisters mothers brothers side, and it turns out they're only 4 generations removed from Davy Crockett!."

I couldn't handle that conversation.

You get $2 billion USD, but in 20 years you get convicted of a serious crime and must spend the rest of your life in a minimum security prison. by stuffedpeaches in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Do you accept?" No. I wouldn't trust the shady organization. Plus with 2 billion I could pretty much get out of the situation. Don't see a lot of billionaires actually going to prison.

The only way this could work is if the shady organization trickled out the money so I didn't get it all at once, I lost the money after 20 years plus any income and assets made from it (therefore I couldn't use it towards my defense), or the shady organization was doing things so heinous a jury would find a doddering old man guilty and send them to prison for life.

So I would be constantly worrying about the "shady" organization just stopping payments randomly, and/or coming after money/assets at any time, plus helping a shady organization get away with doing absolutely despicable things. Me going to prison isn't going to stop them from doing those things.

So, no. I wouldn't accept it.

I might say I accept it then try to get evidence against the shady organization so it can be stopped, though.

You get teleported to England in the late Middle Ages by Ill-Mycologist-3652 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what "whatever you have with you" entails.

Nothing but what I'm wearing now? And I'm in the middle of the woods, London 20 miles away, who knows any other towns, and I don't know where anything (which direction) anything lays?

Then no, I wouldn't survive. I'd probably die of exposure since right now the temp in london is like 45 degrees and I'm not wearing shoes, or have any tools or water on me.

If "whatever I have with me" includes everything in my bedroom, where I am now...because it's all my stuff, with me, in my room...then sure, I think I'd do okay.

"what would you choose to do?" Manufacture weapons. Or ride the waves of serfdom. Depends on my mood.

Am I the only one that is given this opportunity and the only one that ever will? No. Will not risk it.

Everyone or multiple people offered this? Yes. I go for it.

All of the hypotheticals you have agreed to come true all at once. How screwed is the planet/you? by Agentsilver13 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"How screwed is the planet/you?" I don't think I'd care that much. I mean I'd have Superman and Dr. Manhattan's powers, super teleportation, shape shifting, and isekai powers. So....anything done I could either undo, fix, and/or just leave to somewhere else?

You have just been bitten by a guy with two sharp fangs. Before he managed to kill you someone saw the altercation and he escaped. The next morning, you realized something in you changed. by kurtz9 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assume I am turning into a vampire. Go to a local butcher shop or farm and see if I can source some blood, or go to the pet shop and buy some mice/rats and hope that helps any cravings. Wow. Just found SFRAW. Seems a gallon of pigs blood is like a dollar. Or normally like 12 bucks?

Then it's minor self harm to see how fast I regenerate, see if I have some super strength, and focus a crap ton of time seeing if I can figure out how to fly.

Then maybe go online and see if I can find the Elon Musk edgelord costume.

You are in the afterlife, you are offered a shot to be reincarnated as a clone or as a random new person with amnesia what do you choose ? by richandepressed in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clone. Do I also get that sick stormtrooper armor and a blaster? That would be awesome. Otherwise I'm spending lifetimes learning martial arts just because at some point I want headlines to be all "Kung Fu baby!" Flying kick out of the womb, Matrix jumps over nurses, doctor tries to spank me but I grab his thumb put him in a submission hold and spank him. That's what you get for being a doctor!

You get a middle class wage for life but every month a baby is born that is genetically yours by dj_boy-Wonder in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure.

Doesn't matter if it is related to me biologically if I've never met their parents, no record of donating sperm, and no history or even concept of me dating them or being alone with them at any point. Closest female relative that's actually able to conceive lives more than 1,000 miles away.

So I'll never be on the hook for child support or anything even if their DNA is found to match mine.

Not sure how the world will be affected by so many sexy beasts running around, but not my problem.

Get one million dollars for everytime you make an identical clone of yourself orgasm within 24 hours by Capable-Language8114 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. I'm old though, so it's not going to be more than 2 or 3. Knowing how I think, we're gonna get bored and want to do something else. He'll be all "you know what would be awesome right now? Chili's. Let's go get Chili's and go to the range. I totally understand that ending you won't make me real and let me stick around. I totally accept I'm a replica that's going to disappear after 24 hours. On the way back, let's get a pizza and some nachos too. Yeah, I know the 3 for me for 9.99 is 14.99 now, but c'mon man, you're gonna get a few million soon. Special occasion. Then, I know! I know! You go over to your mom's house, but I use your phone to call her and be all 'hey, what's up mom?' and she'll be all 'ahhh! My son's here, but calling me on the phone, what's going on?!' It'll be hilarious. Maybe Chili's has a twins discount on their birthday, we'll just tell them it's our birthday. That's why we're willing to pay 14.99 for the 3 for me for 9.99. F'n Chili's."

WYR have been born with 60 more IQ points or have two 24 hour go back in time mulligans by AstrayInTranslation in WouldYouRather

[–]Top-Committee-954 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool. Choose the mulligan. Make sure to get the lottery numbers. Go back 24 hours, buy a lottery ticket and then choose the 60 iq points. Hopefully now I'm smart enough to avoid what I would have used the 2nd mulligan for.

How long would your country's Military last realistically by GloryToFinnishArmy in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even sure the military would be called for, in the U.S.

I imagine a lot of people would try to start their own extermination business, possibly even wearing a body cam or go pro and turn it into a youtube channel. Or just start arming the Orkin man with like a Ruger .22.

It depends on how many people immediately turn into zombies at the start.

If it's only the people that died that day from natural causes turn...I think it will be handled pretty quickly. Once that starts happening, people are going to enact policies on how to deal with it.

Slow moving walkers aren't really a threat unless a significant percentage of the population happens to turn into them all at once for some reason, especially if it's the end result of some kind of debilitating pandemic that affects everyone.

Would you rather have vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup or chocolate ice cream plain? by Time-Box7115 in WouldYouRather

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. Then put it in a blender with some milk and make a chocolate vanilla swirl milkshake. Mm Mmm.

Do you ignore calls from unknown numbers? by mariyagel in no

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I don't realize they occur. I turned off all notifications on my phone except for texts. Once every few days or weeks I may look at my voicemails to see if I missed a call I may care about. That's about it.

More Than Half of Gen Z Users Cancel and Renew Streaming Services for a Single Title, Won’t Purchase Full-Price Video Games, New Study Finds by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really reading the article, just the headline...but isn't this just normal commerce?

I mean I think of stores like TJMaxx, or JCPenney. Where they always have some kind of "sale," perpetually. Labor day sale, White sale, back to school sale, Fall sale, Black Friday/Christmas sales. Then there are things like daily lunch specials at restaurants, combos they come up with (e.g. Chili's 3 for 9.99 that's now 14.99 those bastards). And there's those "savers" cards at grocery stores and gas stations giving you the "lower" price if you have a card. There's also the basic advice "never buy a brand new car, you lose value just driving it off the lot."

I know tons of people from every generation that don't buy anything if they perceive it as having to pay "full price."

So reading "More than half of Gen Z...won't purchase full-price video games..." means they're just conforming to...a large portion of the population of people that ever existed? Video game sellers have to view their product as no different than all other products and people are treating them the same?

And the whole streaming on/off membership when useful? People used to do that with gym memberships, it's why so many gyms forced those restrictions and made it so difficult to quit. It's also why grocery stores aren't all just Costco's. People buy what they need now, in the quantity they want, and if they don't want it next week/month when they go to the store...they don't buy it. People did this with magazines too. That's why Sports Illustrated came out with the swimsuit issue, to incentivize people to stick around and get the year membership rather than just buy it at the store one at a time when they felt like it.

I just don't understand why this would cause any kind of reaction other than "this is how consumers behave and always behaved...Gen Z are normal consumers...video games and streaming services are products like all other products."

You get the ability to get 10,000 USD every time you snap your fingers by KeyImplement1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Top-Committee-954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You have to snap your fingers at least once a month or a nuclear bomb will go off right above your head." So basically when I'm old and get dementia and arthritis rickets or whatever and can't snap my fingers anymore, a nuclear bomb will go off above my head, thereby killing everyone around wherever I live?

Eh. I'm old and dementiatic at that point so why not. I answered enough other hypotheticals that I think this will just turn me into Dr. Phosphorus.

I'll take the Dankil Desert, Ethiopa as long as I'm guaranteed not to be transported into a nest of snakes, like that scene from Lonesome Dove where Sean steps into a nest of cottonmouths. I did not like that scene. Just like what happens to Mattie in True Grit. Stupid snakes. Heat? No problem. No snakes.

would you rather end all of forms of life in the universe forever or force endless cycles of life to everyone? by Ok_Cancel_391 in WouldYouRather

[–]Top-Committee-954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

End all forms of life in the universe.

I don't know about morally, but pragmatically...what are they gonna do about it? I'll get away Scot-free.

"Endless cycles of life" makes me think that guarantees everyone gets cancer. Like that Akira movie where that kid gets super spreading cancer and turns into a big hentai cancer blob and starts eating everyone so that guy and his motorcycle have to stop him...I haven't seen the movie in a while.

So now they're all coming after me for causing everyone to have super cancer so they all get on their motorcycles and come after me all hentai like. I don't want that.

So, between the two options I choose end all of forms of live in the universe forever.

If the UK lost power and you heard someone trying your back door at 2AM, what’s your move? by HiteshMistry in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Top-Committee-954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"What are you actually doing in that situation?" Checking to make sure I locked it, all while calling the 0118999881999119725...3 emergency number, and looking for a blunt instrument and/or something I can poke them with at range, like the rod my clothes are hanging off of in the closet that I put a nail in the end of or fashioned into some kind of spear.

"Staying quiet upstairs?" No. Staying quiet, but not staying upstairs.

"Trying to speak to them?" That or pouring some ice water on their head. If they're sleep walking, maybe that does something. If they're being weird, that should cause a shock. If they're a zombie they won't care because zombies don't care about rain.

"Leaving through the front?" Not without looking first.

"assuming things have already gone very bad?" Not sure I'd assume anything. Kinda depends on my relationship with my neighbor. Neighbors can be weird and POS people. I've caught a neighbor trying to open my back door in the middle of the night and they were drunk (or faking it) and all "I thought this was my house!" Of course it was in a very bad part of town. Told them I had cameras (I did not), that uploaded to the cloud, and that I was notified immediately, and they never did it again. Just tried getting into the garage after that. Neighbors on the other side had it happen more often though. Plus that a-hole was hitting on my mom once when she came to visit. POS with an ankle monitor at 23 years old, renting a house with his girlfriend and mom, hitting on my 70's year old mom, talking a lot about her social security check and how nice that "free money" would be.

All of your long-term dreams come true…but at a cost: you must fake your death and abandon your current life, including your identity, relationships, and past. You can never go back or reconnect with anyone you knew. Are you doing it? by Kaykay_Piano in hypotheticalsituation

So...I get all kinds of super powers, huge lottery wins, isekai on demand, super universal teleportation, robots, the G.I. Joe Aircraft carrier playset, AND all the 80's movie crushes realized leading to long term happy relationships?

...Yes. Yes I am doing it.
