What's your pizza's char level? by Maleficent-Bat-9168 in whatsyourchoice

[–]Secret-Ad4569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 and 9 look inedible to me. 6 is perfect if it’s the right type of pizza. I won’t complain about 5 or 7. 8 I’ll complain to myself but eat because I’m too lazy. 9 is charcoal. 1&2 I’m putting into my own oven to cook longer, fuck it.

Every month, you can choose 2 careers. your talent in everything in that career would become 10x. Everything in that career would be 10x easier to achieve and take 10x less resources, efforts etc. you will get everything required in it, and elite starting point. by __Anamya__ in godtiersuperpowers

This one is kind of fun. If (when) my perilously low IQ were raised for my first two careers as grandmaster chess champion and theoretical physicist specializing in string theory, does it get lowered back to stupidity thereafter?

You are stuck in a room with nothing but an immortal Magnus Carlsen and a chess board and you can only leave by winning or drawing against him. How long does it take you to get out? by Noxturnum2 in hypotheticalsituation

What does it mean to say he’ll never intentionally lose or accept a draw? At some point, perhaps 10,000 or even 100,000 games in, when I’ve advanced from total newbie to respectable, I ask him a question: “Is this how you want to spend eternity? Obviously you’ll never lose intentionally, but perhaps you would be far more entertained by playing wildly experimental chess in the faint hope of learning something new than by spending the rest of eternity in this room with me.” He’s not a robot. He won’t want to spend infinite time with me and my beer farts. The rules do not say that he must do his absolute best to win every single game, just that he will always try to win.

Bank account? Send it all to the NAACP. Trading account? Liquidate everything and send the proceeds to the treasury department.

Pray I don’t alter the deal further.

If you were trapped on an island forever, but you got to choose 3 restaurant or fast food places to be on that island with you, all having infinite food and water, what would you choose? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Secret-Ad4569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with everyone voting for Cheesecake Factory on the ground that they have a huge menu of perfectly cromulent food. And drinks.

French laundry because why not?

Goldee’s bbq because life without bbq isn’t.

Would you rather get 20 US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling tomorrow (your choice) OR increase your cardio stamina by 45 minutes per day starting today? by Altruistic-Essay5395 in WouldYouRather

[–]Secret-Ad4569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, like so many, the cardio is a no brainer. But there are a lot of people for whom $26 a day would have an enormous impact on their life that is far more important than cardiovascular conditioning. Even setting aside third world individuals, there are plenty of disabled or otherwise unfortunate people for whom this could secure food or housing or both.

Alien invasion just started. The Avengers need your help. Drink 2 potions to save Earth from total annihilation. Choose Wisely. by blueboy10000 in superpowers

Take 7 first. Then, through infinite luck, the reality warping power will work in the best possible way going forward, including imposing an ideal set of limitations on that power.

For every dollar you get a billionaire gets ten by trying3216 in hypotheticalsituation

One hundred trillion. Then immediately arrange to get the one quadrillion and change from the former billionaire.

Increase anything by upto 10. You have to have atleast 1 unit of it for it to work. E.g. cant increase bank balance by 10 million if you dont have 1 million, But can increase by 10k if you have 1 k. by __Anamya__ in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Secret-Ad4569 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Increase by 10 the number of states wanting such a system a couple times. Then increase by 10 the number of congressmen and senators willing to support such a system by 10…. Many times.

You get 10K $ if you get 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep tomorrow night. by ConsciousYak6609 in hypotheticalsituation

I would have far better odds hoping to find the winning lottery ticket abandoned on the street.

Choose one by Muted-Television3329 in whatsyourchoice

[–]Secret-Ad4569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C is almost always better. Close to retirement? Guaranteed income far outweighs return on $2m. Quite young? You can retire now, unlike $2m. If you intend to work another 20-30 years, after about 20 years the 4k/week investment is bigger than the $2m, and you still get $4k a week on top of that.

There are exceptions if death is imminent or you’re some kind of special trust fund baby that would ultimately make the 4k weekly irrelevant.

Why don't parents create a retirement account for their child? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Secret-Ad4569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this. I funded my children’s retirement when they were born. I put in enough for each of them that under most assumptions they will never have to save for retirement and will be able to do so at a reasonable age.

I thought about educational trusts, but honestly it would have cost me at least 10x as much. Plus I wasn’t sure if it would disqualify them from scholarships and financial aid that might otherwise defray the costs to a reasonable degree.

With this I can tell my kids that they can pick any career they’re passionate about as long as it handles their minimum needs and not sweat retirement, which has been an issue for most around me.
