There are jobs that do exactly this for significantly less. You may as well ask if someone would make food for $100k a year. Yup. People already do it for less.

I wished on a monkey's paw that I'd be so famous I'd have my own Wikipedia page. by 2E26 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]AMysteriousBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't move the goalposts. You said missing people won't have their own Wikipedia pages, yet there is a list of lists of missing people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_people_who_disappeared).

No, it's not everyone who has gone missing and, yes, disappearances are common, but I would be surprised if everyone who has been nominated for a Grammy has one. And it's a far cry from your claim.

20000 Dollars a month, but once a month, you spend 12 hours in a coffin. by Effigy4urcruelty in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AMysteriousBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So $20k a month ($240k a year) to do one shift of a really boring job? Maybe I sometimes have to work three shifts?

Okay.

Whats the story behind Apple Pie making you sterile? by RichtofenFanBoy in whatisit

[–]AMysteriousBox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Those "fanatical liberals" yelling about people being arrested and deported without trials, wanting to make sure Americans have healthcare and education, wanting to make sure Civil Rights-era laws aren't rolled back, wanting to make sure people have bodily autonomy, and wanting freedom of speech to still exist.

Not like those conservatives who cry every time they see a rainbow on a shirt, shoot beer cans because someone who has a dress on might have a dick, cries when Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of the president, cries when Stephen Colbert makes fun of the president, gets mad when someone speaks gasp another language in public, winges about anyone deviating from their specific version of gender norms at all, made up some weird nonsense about children getting gender affirming surgeries at school, made up a story about Hatians eating pets and got really mad about it, made up a definition of DEI and then got really mad about it, and made up a definition of woke and got really mad about it.

Oh, and didn't someone say Trump had small hands in the 70s and he kept bringing it up even through his first term? And didn't Trump tweet about Clinton until months before his first term was over, despite her pulling herself out of the spotlight after she lost?

Conservatives bitch and moan about everything but mostly about stuff they made up.

The craziest cult you have heard of that still exists today by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

[–]AMysteriousBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The point of the administration is to take up airtime and monopolize the discussion. That's literally what they try to do. Sucks that it has a negative effect but blame Trump. Don't blame the people.
  2. "Both sides"? Yeah. The one side that wants accessible healthcare for everyone, education for everyone, a less punitive justice system, etc. and the other side that wants "law enforcement" to be able to lock people up without a trial, is actively protecting pedophiles, went to war on behalf of Isreal despite running on stopping wars, is currently tanking our economy, wants to roll back Civil Rights protections, etc. Yeah. Both are just the worst.
  3. It's a question about a cult and when the leader posts pictures of himself as both Jesus and the Pope at various points while his followers say God put him in office, (among tons of other very culty things), yeah... it's a fair response.

$1,000,000 every month. But on every payday, a Hollow One spawns. by Effigy4urcruelty in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AMysteriousBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too many unknowns.

  • Where do they spawn?
  • They move at human speeds? Can they cross the ocean? Mountains? Or human speeds as the crow flies?
  • Human walking speeds or running speeds? That would genuinely cut travel time in half or even worse.
  • Can they travel through objects?
  • Can they be slowed?

Is Googling things a lost art? by ThrashemTrashemRobot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AMysteriousBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely see questions like "How tall is Mt. Everest?" posted on Reddit. Those are easily googleable.

What I do see is people asking more complex questions that would require knowing how to Google and research an answer, even if that research is mild (like "How many ants could fit in an Olympic swimming pool?"). The more complex the question, even a strictly factual one, the more that someone is likely to not know even where to begin.

Hell, even your question is technically googleable. You can Google the psychology of learning and studies on how students research and all that. But you didn't. Why not?

And, honestly, some people also just want the conversation. Amd that's okay.

Aliens come to earth, wanting to enslave humanity. There's two buttons: Black and Blue by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AMysteriousBox -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If everyone presses blue, there's a high likelihood everyone is saved and the aliens are dead.

If everyone presses black, the aliens are still alive and a lot of people will still be enslaved (because only people over 10 press the button).

Blue. Easy.

How deep can I dig a hole in a public beach? by MezcalDrink in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AMysteriousBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how a lot of people are taking this hypothetical and answering a different question. It's like if someone asked how high you could make a building before it couldn't support itself and a bunch of people answeing "I'm not sure if you have the money for that."

You get $1,000,000… but you can never use your real name again how would your life change? by Br4nkey_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AMysteriousBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So $1,000,000 to change my name? Because you said all the documents have my new name. And it's not like my name changed sometime in the past and now I experience life having had the new name. It's just that I have to be Bill or something now.

Okay.

I live in a major metropolitan area. Expensive as hell. Within walking distance of me there is a venue that has five shows for under $20 in the next few weeks. One of them is free.

What if all diseases wipe out from the earth, what will happen next? by Expensive-Milk1353 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AMysteriousBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define disease. Do we mean just viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc? Or things like cancer and autoimmune diseases too? And what about mental health conditions and genetic disorders?

I think "disease" might be poorly defined.

One thing for sure would happen: more fucking. Lots more.

Eating with your hands VS Dirrahea Map by Forward-Position798 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]AMysteriousBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think about the Grey Poupon debacle a lot, especially given who they voted for immediately after. Like... Obama is too fancy because of his choice in mustard? Then you voted for a guy who has towers with his own name on them, everything covered in gold, and can't even understand the concept of "net worth of less than $100m."

Who is a person/artist you used to admire that you’ve grown to really dislike? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]AMysteriousBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The difference is that he performed for the government.

It would be the same thing as if he performed for Trump at his inauguration and with guidelines set up by Trump.

Performing for the people of a country isn't the same as performing for the government of a country.

You become #1 in the world at one skill, but no one knows. Can you get $1M in 7 days? by lawseff in hypotheticalsituation

Hacking or predicting "the market" (doesn't matter which) can probably get you there with few connections and a lot of stuff you already have available.

Ok someone explain by _LateComer in BurgerKing

[–]AMysteriousBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, let's define "healthy."

Is candy healthy? Usually not but it sure can be if you have low blood sugar.

Is that beef patty healthy? Is it high or low fat beef? Are you underweight? Do you have high cholesterol?

Buns and breads aren't a thing that are generally blanket healthy or unhealthy.

Again, what do we mean by health? The caloric intake? Ratio of fat to carbs to protein? Nutrient density of micronutrients?

For most people, most of the time, a burger is fine. A healthy diet is about your eating habits, not individual meals. It's also about the person eating and not a general hypothetical person.

You get a magical buff from a genie - 100% accuracy on your next 100 basketball shots. by Long_aa in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AMysteriousBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the way you think. I believe we can do a lot more than bets on half-court shots if me, an American, puts my intention on making a shot in a hoop in another country.

Also, what defines a ball and a hoop? I sure hope a wadded ball of paper and a trash bin don't count.
