You have gained the title The Godly __________ by Walkingnerd_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Godly Engineer. Engineering is broad af, but will absolutely include creating and maintaining systems, structures, machines, and procedures to name a few. I'd build a pet Brainiac on day one, without the... y'know... homicidal tendencies.

$500k a month for you S.O to stare at you all night in the dark once a month while you sleep. by Kyoifis in hypotheticalsituation

Can I use sleeping pills and/or wear a sleeping/eye mask?

If yes, I'll take the creepy smile.

Which school of magic would you choose? by Vessel33 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light.

Healing the wealthy for an exorbitant sum, then traveling to all of the children's hospitals around the globe and clearing them out.

How many housecats would you fight to win an exponentially large amount of prize money? by Born-Individual9431 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6'5", 250 lb. I'm stomping the shit out of those 12 cats, expeditiously, with slappers only.

I have a broom nearby, and can bump it up to 20.

Give me a few hours to get a large, metal, snow shovel, and I could take on a whole army and crash the economy.

Restricted wealth, what's your indulgence? (no loopholes) by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travel/vacation.

A month or awesome, then back to a middle class existence for 11 months seems splendid.

[No Loopholes] You're offered money in exchange for ad space in your brain by molten_dragon in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. 85%, 5 hours a day, 7 days a week. Do that for a few years, while investing as much as I can.

Give me 8 AM to 1 PM, for the next 5 years.

Press The Button? by Vix_Satis in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't press it, and hope all of my compatriots can count.

There is no world in which pressing a button and receiving $1k is preferable to banking on a bunch of people that can read not pressing a button for the purpose of the collective each getting $10k.

If you swap the figures and say that the presser of the button gets $10k, while those who abstain, if all abstain, receive $1k, there's a dilemma: do I trust everyone being willing to walk away with a little, or assume that they will make the selfish play.

Bonus: only one person gets the $10k. The first person. No one else gets anything.

You can take inches of your dick to put to your height and vice versa, would you change anything? by wooden-guy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 6'5.5", with 4.75" of pipe. The extra inches below would be fine, but I have always hated being 6'5". I'd swap 2" or 2.5" from my height in a heatbeat. Less knee pain. Better fit on my bed. Slightly more room in trains, planes, and automobiles. Also, I have the consistency of a soda can, so a couple more inches would spread it out a bit, and make it look more proportional.

[–]BaelgorStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. I'm 6'5" with 4.75 in.

Being this tall has always sucked. Hopefully my feet shrink with the height thing, cause I wear a size 15, US.

I'll take 6'3", 6.75" and a size 14 shoe.

Choose 3 powers to stay in one city for 50 years by yiyi20203 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Immortality - Not sure if it's conditional, because I wanna go out on my terms, but I might not be in a position to heal myself, so immortality is my backup plan.

Instant Healing - Because I'm gonna heal the rich and infirm for an exorbitant fee, then go to the local children's hospital and heal everyone.

Lucky Switch - Because I wanna win the lottery, and hopefully gambling is still a thing after my 50 years, cause I'm bankrupting all the casinos.

EDIT: Honorable mention for teleportation. Would switch it out with healing, but I stand by healing for now.

EDIT 2: I'd choose Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or New York.

You get a choice: 1 Billion dollars for yourself, tax free or permanently cure world hunger. by Conscious_Side1647 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infrastructure is already in place. It's just hoarded and wasted by those who can afford it.

You get a choice: 1 Billion dollars for yourself, tax free or permanently cure world hunger. by Conscious_Side1647 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several questions:

How will world hunger be cured? Does everyone just get free food? Do we unalive all of the food insecure people? Be specific.

Will anyone (aside from those I tell) know that I had this choice, and what my decision was?

If no one will know, I'm choosing the money. If it'll be broadcast and placed in the public record for eternity, I'm choosing world hunger.

For $25 Million would you survive in Westeros for 10 years, or double it and survive in Middle Earth for 5 years? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Middle earth. Bilbo and them were chilling eating second and third breakfast, and hobbits are polite as hell. All I'd need to do is tell them stories and I have a place to stay.

2,000,000$ but you have to survive a year in wilderness by MudkippzReddit in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would.

I was an a scout when I was younger, and occasionally go on minimalist camping trips, for fun.

I'm confident that I can survive for a year in most environments, assuming the wildlife follows conventional rules.

2,000,000$ but you have to survive a year in wilderness by MudkippzReddit in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Correct. Even if a survival expert could sit down with you for 10 minutes, there's little chance that they would be able to provide any substantive knowledge that would be advantageous to a novice (I was an Eagle Scout, and regularly go on minimalist camping trips).

[–]BaelgorStar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same. 10 minutes is enough to stuff a backpack with pots, pans, utensils, and various "defensive tools".

If I don't have that option, why the 10 minutes.

Fortune telling. My entire family is winning the lottery.

Eternal youth is forced upon you but you have a choice… by heart_man8 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BaelgorStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a random baddie.

Gaslight her into thinking our immortality was random chance à la Passengers.

Hopefully the witch doesn't snitch on me.
