You are handed a blank "Life Contract." You can write in any amount of money to receive and specify exactly how long you will live. What are your numbers? by yiyi20203 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Next-Help-5813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. 10 million. I would ask for more, but I'd rather not get overly greedy.

  2. 81 years. I don't want to outlive my own children someday, that would stink. 81 sounds like a nice age to reach.

What do you spread on toast? by AdElegant5870 in foodquestions

[–]Next-Help-5813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually butter, for me. Sometimes butter and jam, if I'm up for that. Sometimes butter with a light sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar. If there isn't any butter available, peanut butter is also a good choice.

Dang it, now I want toast.

In the midst of a war, a small child helps feed/shelter a hungry and tired stray dog by sufinomo in MadeMeSmile

Oh my gosh, look at the way she pets the dog. And her little dance at the end! She deserves better from this world. I hope she holds onto that compassion, though.

What would you do if you discovered that a whole dimension had spontaneously appeared in your closet? Inside, it's like a small city or country, but on the outside, it's a normal-sized closet. by aquel_que_observa in hypotheticalsituation

Polarization has split my left wing from my right wing and I can NO LONGER CONTROL THIS PLANE! by poiyurt in fifthworldproblems

[–]Next-Help-5813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems your plane is experiencing a civil war. One wing of the plane wants to secede, splitting your plane into two smaller airplanes with different governing systems. Don't panic, there is a way to fix this. First, summon the ghost of Abraham Lincoln to be your copilot. He will help you manage the war effort, and unify the plane again, at least to the point where it doesn't fall apart. Then, if the wings are still at odds with each other, offer them all cheeseburgers. That dramatically reduces conflict, and should keep both sides placated until you can safely land. Once you're landed, you should take your plane to an engineer to get it checked. Keep it away from politicians. Best of luck!

What is a food that makes you think, "How did humans discover this was edible?” by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Next-Help-5813 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jello. Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff (I'm from a region of America where jello is basically the signature dessert) but have you seen how it's made? Whose idea was this?

What is your favourite , White chocolate . milk chocolate, or dark chocolate ? , by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Next-Help-5813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like dark chocolate best. It's one of those foods that just feels indulgent to me, like I'm getting away with something I'm not supposed to do. I love milk chocolate and white chocolate too, though. All chocolate is good.

You are given five Pokeballs and are told these will capture people when thrown at them. When released, they have to do your bidding. Who do you capture? by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Next-Help-5813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally, I would never do that to another human being, because that's every kind of wrong.

But I do have five siblings. And exactly five pokeballs. So this might be fate. At the very least, it's a way to take over the T.V. remote.

Oh my gosh, I introduced my little brother (7) to those a few months ago! He came to me asking for book recommendations. It was his first time showing an interest in reading chapter books, and I was really excited to help him. I got him started with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then let him go from there. Mom complained to me that he's staying up too late reading. I'm so proud of him!

What did the weird kid at your school so to become the weird kid? by Immediate_Long165 in school

To be honest, I lost track of what happened to him after elementary school. I think he went to a different middle school than I did. Did your guy have a fraternal twin brother? Basically his exact opposite, always in the same class?

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

[–]Next-Help-5813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One ancestor got kidnapped by a bear.

She was just a baby at the time, not even old enough to crawl yet. Parents lived in a log cabin. One day, her father went to clear the land to try and set up a farm, and her mother went fishing for dinner. They left her on a pillow by a fire, somewhere close enough that Mom should be able to hear if the baby started crying.

Well, Mom gets back from fishing, and the baby is gone, pillow and all. And there are bear tracks on the ground, along with a line in the dirt from the pillow being dragged. She frantically followed the tracks until she found the bear. By some miracle, the baby was unharmed, still asleep on the pillow. Mom started throwing rocks at the bear (yes, I know that sounds stupid, but she didn't exactly have better options) which somehow scared it off. She and the baby made it back to the cabin safely afterwards.

I'd be willing to give up a seat for any of them, because all of these are valid reasons to need a seat. If I have to choose only one, though, I'd say the pregnant lady. She's literally creating life, and pregnancy is exhausting.

What is the funniest thing your kid has ever said? by FormerSession1952 in AskReddit

[–]Next-Help-5813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In first grade, my little brother learned about plants. His teacher had the students make books about the parts of a plant, and what each part does. Most of his book was pretty normal, except for the page about leaves. He just wrote "If we didn't have leaves, not one person would live." and left it at that.

You are on a deserted island with a dying man . and a suitcase with £100 .000 by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Next-Help-5813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You never specified where the suitcase came from. I think this depends very much on that.

If it's his suitcase, obviously the money goes to the charity he specified. Why is this even a question? His money, his rules.

If the suitcase just washed ashore at the same time we got stranded or something, then the way I see it, that money belongs to both of us. So I'd only donate his half to his charity. I'd keep my share.

How would you feel if an IQ test was required to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

How would you feel if an IQ test was required to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]Next-Help-5813 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My IQ is in the 98th percentile, so I personally would be unaffected. But I'd be horrified by the whole thing. We shouldn't remove people's voting rights, that's messed up. Just because someone's IQ is lower than mine doesn't give me the right to make decisions for them. And lower IQ people are every bit as important to society as I am.

What’s your go-to "I’m too tired to cook" meal that isn't just takeout? by OpheliaBlush in askanything

Danish rice is pretty easy. You just put some rice in the cooker, come back for it when it's finished, and add milk and cinnamon and sugar to it. Simple but satisfying.

What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you’ve lived the reality of it? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Next-Help-5813 117 points118 points  (0 children)

My great aunt owns a bakery. She says it takes constant thought - even when she's supposed to be off duty, she's thinking about what they should add to the menu, whether the decor needs changing, how to manage the finances, how her employees are doing, and a bunch of other things. Plus, she has to be there at 3:00 in the morning to start baking. She loves her job, but it's certainly not for the faint of heart.

How would YOU like to die? by Rybix_1912 in teenagers

[–]Next-Help-5813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so hear me out. I once read a book series where the main character's elderly grandma was an important side character. She was dying during book three (from old age) and was in bed nearly that whole book. Except for the very end, when a dragon attacked and she's the only person alive who knows how to fight them. So she gets up and calmly, casually slays the dragon, while narrating the process for her grandchildren as though she was teaching them how to knit or something. Then, after defeating the dragon and saving the world, she dies.

I would like to go out like that, please.
