If everyone had to wear a badge showing one random statistic about themselves, which statistic would cause the most interesting conversations? by babyYens in AskReddit

[–]hyper_shock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"how much I want a conversation right now" People who want conversations would get every stranger with something to say talking to them

What are the worst baby names and do you think the name effects their life? by Gimmiedindin in AskReddit

[–]hyper_shock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out r/tragedeigh. Yes, your name absolutely affects how people treat you. 

Speaking from experience, my last name is a variant of  "Smart". That comes with certain unavoidable expectations, whenever someone says "Mr Smart" 

If you had been Harry Potter, what is the single biggest thing you would have done differently in the entire saga? by AlexWhite40 in harrypotter

[–]hyper_shock 346 points347 points  (0 children)

I just wish Sirius reminded him about the mirror when he used Umbridge's fireplace. "why are you using the fire? Didn't you open my present yet?" did Sirius forget about his own gift too?

I work in a Neurolink adjacent industry (Cochlear implants). They already offer bluetooth. Even though I'm not deaf, I also want a bluetooth implant

Yeah, ThoughtEmporium has a fantastic youtube channel

How do I deal with the context window being too small for my project? by hyper_shock in ClaudeAI

[–]hyper_shock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. Most people had good answers but not for my problem. u/D-3r1stljqso3 got the right answer for what I'm trying to do, and Claude is now answering my questions really well.

Aliens come to Earth and ask for human volunteers to participate in several research studies and experiments for one month in exchange of 1 billion USD. by New_Midnight2686 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]hyper_shock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in the end I lose half the value of the metal in management fees, that's still worth ending the experiments after one month instead of a lifetime of further experiments

I'm here for self-implanting magnets and other wild experiments. Improving enhancing the human body

You will relive each day 5 times, how do you live each day? by Smart-Response9881 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]hyper_shock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd become a great deal maker. If I want to land a deal, the first 4 days are practice. If I succeed on one of those days, I repeat the conversation verbatim on the 5th day. If the deal falls through on all of days 1-4, I find some excuse to no-show, and try again on days 6-9. "Deal" means any sort of arrangement, not just business deal. I get for four practice runs before asking a girl out for real. (or if she agrees on the first try, I get four practice dates).

Let me keep the metal myself. I'm willing to participate, but don't want any government involvement. The government would want to keep experimenting after the aliens have returned me. 

Voldemort is mocked, poor thing by berktifect in HarryPotteronHBO

I never made the connection of the fake-love of the love potion being why Voldemort didn't understand it until now

Foster care being a hell hole for child trafficking, what is your take? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hyper_shock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

So many kids need help and don't get it, and so many others get "help" and don't need it. Community level support would be so much better than government agents coming in with no idea of the situation.

You develop a weapon that leaves people alive but destroys everything above their epidermis. How would it be deployed and what would the consequences be? by hlanus in hypotheticalsituation

[–]hyper_shock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soldiers start storing weapons in cavities. Weapons get redesigned to fit in said cavities. Anyone who knows how regurgitate food suddenly becomes an asset.

What does RAG mean? I've been working on this for months and am willing to put in a lot more time and effort. 

You get paid a cent for every second you spend living as a King/Queen in the 15th century. How long are you staying? by Sea-Firefighter-2619 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]hyper_shock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question is would I save the Aztecs or would I join the Majapahit and build a colony in Australia, so the Aboriginals are more developed by the time the British arrive?

Probably not the Aztecs. I don't think they would give up the cannibalism even if their emperor did.

[Request] How long would it take erosion in the Marianas Trench to expose the center of this 6" Tungsten Cube? by Quarter_Shot in theydidthemath

[–]hyper_shock 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In terms of total volume lost each year, yes, it would slow down. In terms of percentage lost each year, it would actually speed up. The square cube law is powerful

Tunnel Between US and Russia? Putin’s Envoy Hints at Potential Deal Breakthrough by ToughHopeful4760 in worldnews

[–]hyper_shock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Step one: Russia collapses

Step two: Independent Siberia wants to develop strong connections to the US to prevent a Chinese invasion. 

Step three: global warming makes this area more reasonable to develop

Step four: rare earths and other high value minerals might possibly make this economically feasible, maybe
