You're buying all kinds of things you think are important but are actually useless. Electronic toothbrush for better plaque removal? Cool! Candles in case the power cuts out? Fantastic!

While you're off making bad decisions, a beautiful woman approaches you. She introduces herself as Chloe and you two have a casual chat. Before you leave, she gives you her phone number and playfully tells you not to forget to call her. Oddly forward for a lady, but you're not disappointed.

You two have a very fast romance. Just a few days later, Chloe asks to move in with you. You're alarmed, but she seems harmless enough, so you accept. One day, while she's asleep, you decide to go through her phone; just to give yourself some peace of mind. What you find is really, really creepy.

It turns out she was married to a man who looks so much like you, he could be your twin brother. Unfortunately, this man died of cancer. It all makes sense, now. You've suddenly found yourself in a very uncomfortable situation.

So much could go wrong if you don't deal with this properly. You can't just make a rash decision.

What do you do?

I work in a small grocery store, and I proposed the challenge of “How long could you stay in the freezer if you got $1000 per hour you stayed?” to a couple of my friends at work. We’ve been revising the rules and conditions and have come up with a challenge that we feel is pretty “challenger friendly”, but closes any loopholes we could think of. Here are the ground rules:

The Room

The original challenge was “how long could you stay in the freezer?” But we’ve decided to change it to a climate controlled room that is kept at 10°F, since our freezer has AC units that are loud and obnoxious.

The Room will be the same size as our freezer at work, so roughly 25ft x 25ft.

The only thing in the room is a queen sized bed and a weather proofed TV. (We added “weather proofed” because we’re all 99% certain a normal TV would eventually stop working if kept in a room that cold.) Additionally, the TV comes with any subscription/streaming services picked by the challenger, so you can load it up with anything you want free of charge.

The Keeper

You’ll be constantly monitored by The Keeper. The Keeper looks like your stereotypical spy/secret agent. Tall, male, short hair, dark glasses, wears a suit, doesn’t make small talk. He won’t be in the room with you, but he’ll be monitoring your vitals. If at anytime during the challenge you show signs of physical or emotional distress that could impact your physical or mental health, he will end the challenge and you’ll be payed for however long you stayed in The Room.

Meal and bathroom breaks

The challenger gets 3 UNPAID meal breaks. Meals will be eaten on a table a few feet outside of The Room. You’ll get one hour for breakfast (I’ll get to why it’s an hour long later, and The Keeper will wake you up if needed) from 8am until 9am, a half hour for lunch from 1pm to 1:30pm, and dinner will time will be chosen by the challenger, but you MUST eat dinner. Meals are prepared by The Keeper, and he can make whatever you want, so if you want a grilled cheese sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie “just how your mom makes them”, he can do it.

Additionally, twice per day and in between meals, you can request one pint of a hot liquid. The liquid can be coffee, tea, hot cocoa, broth, etc. Everything in the pint mug/glass must be a liquid and must have a density/viscosity similar to water, so you can’t request something like chowder or chicken noodle soup. You’ll press a button and tell The Keeper what you want and he’ll prepare it for you.

You can use the bathroom whenever you want. To minimize time spent in the bathroom, we’ll say it’s right next to The Room. However, you’ll only be able to use the restroom if you have to, and you must go back into The Room once you finish, so you can’t just sit on the toilet for 2 hours to warm up. Bathroom breaks are also UNPAID and time spent in the bathroom is rounded UP to the nearest quarter hour, meaning every time you use the bathroom, you’ll miss out on at least $250

Clothing, hygiene, and equipment

You can bring anything that you already own into The Room with you, as long as it is not an electronic device and as long as its purpose is not to create heat (so no phones, gaming consoles, or heaters, etc.). But you can bring however many blankets or quilts that you want.

You can’t bring clothes into The Room with you. You’ll remain in your same outfit for the entire duration of the challenge, but you can wear as many layers as you want. So can wear whatever you want, thermal undergarments, parkas, hoodies, ski masks, ski goggles, ear muffs, gloves, scarfs, etc.

At breakfast time, The Keeper will bring you a “change of clothes” that is an exact match of the outfit you began the challenge with. He’ll wash your old clothes and make any needed repairs to them so that they’re ready for you to put back on the next day. You’ll also shower after breakfast. (This is why breakfast is an hour long).

Before the challenge starts, you’re allowed to cash in up to 5 hours worth of pay to stock up on clothes and equipment. So, if you wanted to by a cold weather sleeping bag and one of those little tents that the people that climb Mount Everest use, you could cash in a few hours worth of pay beforehand and do that. You can use the money on clothes to keep you warm if you feel you don’t have enough. You could even use it to stock up on things to keep you entertained like books and puzzles. However, you will not be paid for the time you cashed in on. So if you cash out 4 hours to give yourself $4000 to spend, you won’t start making money until hour 5.

Additional Rules

Any time saved by eating meals quicker will be added to your total once the challenge ends. For example, if you save 5 minutes on each meal break (15 minutes per day) and stay in The Room for a week, you’ll have an hour and 45 minutes added to your total.

There is no food or water allowed in The Room. You’ll only eat and drink during your meal breaks, and we’ll say there’s a water fountain by the bathroom that you can drink from as you go to and from The Room.

You have no contact with anyone. Your only human interaction will be with The Keeper.

Time spent in The Room will be rounded UP to the next quarter hour when the challenge ends. For example, if after taking your total time spent in The Room, deducting your time spent in the bathroom, and adding your time saved during meals, your total is 1000 hours an 16 minutes (1000.26 hours), you’ll be payed for 1000.5 hours.

Well, that’s the challenge. My boss at work was pretty confident and said he could tough it out for a couple months, a few guys said they’d just hang out for a day or two until they got bored. How long would you stay in the room? And what’s your strategy for keeping yourself warm and entertained?

Plane tickets, carpooling, and other primary necessities like food and hygiene products are provided free of charge.

You cannot bring anyone along unless they or you use youre own finances to fund their end of the trip.

You are allowed to stay in any hotel in your current area for 1 week at a time for free (no revisits unless you pay).

If you decide to set roots in your current destination all of your free traveler benefits will cease after 1 year.

Remember, you're only never allowed to return to your HOME state. (Basically where you've spent the majority of your life)

The game is played with a revolver with six chambers and one bullet. Are you willing to pull the trigger to win $100,000?

If not, how much would you need to play?

• Undecillion? How much is that? Oh you'll be surprised.
• Any loophole you think of to defy the deity and not follow the rules set upon you results in eternal suffering and someone else is offered the money and mission.
• More than 60% of the World's population MUST respect and acknowledge your political power as King while worshipping the religion that the Eldritch God wants you to place.
• Even if you are a woman you must have the same political powers of the world's King.
• If you were to die, your chosen successors or descendants must take up your mission.
• You won't suffer if you die making an effort to fulfill your purpose
• A majority of the entire human population must recognize that Earth is a monarchy.

Anyways, an Eldritch God gives you an easily accessible budget with an amount of money you probably couldn't understand how much. You spend whatever you want in the mortal world with it but you must end up becoming King of the Entire Planet Earth before you die.

Once you become King, you or your chosen successors must declare the Eldritch God as the new Lord and Savior of Earth. Therefore, people must pray to this God 4 times a day, every day. The human population must also offer to sacrifice an important mortal living thing to the God every 4 years.

If you fail to establish a worldwide monarchy with YOU as the figurehead because of a lack of effort, you will suffer agonizing pain for all eternity. You will die and be reborn in misery and suffering.

If you succeed, well, you're a king of the entire world and the figurehead of a new religion. The Eldritch God doesn't require you to be a benevolent King.

Can you rule the entire world with that much money?

Just as it says, you can have 250,000 dollars or a week to access the secret, forbidden libraries housed at the Vatican. One snag, you do not get an interpreter so translation is your problem. But, for that week nothing is off limits to your examination.

Your spouse is kind, caring, capable, not a 10/10 but very loving towards you. You have your rough patches here and there but they are ultimately an ideal partner for life who is compatible with you. Whether they will have affairs or not will not affect your reputation in your circle nor will affect how they treats you. They will always be this great person to be around. They will not leave you or love you less due to the affair. They will die for you and care for you through thick and thin. But they are a serial cheater with one night stands.

You get to choose to either live in complete ignorance, to your death you will never know that they have had an affair. Or you get to know immediately if they decided to have an affair. What do you choose?

Edit: hey guys my gf and I are fine. She is very faithful to me and I trust her 100% lmao. I just came across another Reddit post that made me curious what ppl thought

Basically you can pick one crime. For example, murder, r@pe, slavery/human trafficking, etc. the crime you pick will be totally IMPOSSIBLE to commit forever after, BUT you have to commit that crime first, and be charged to the full extent of the law.

Once you are charged and arrested, the ability to commit that crime will be wiped from humanity and all other beings.

1 Billion?

So you get an excited call from an old college buddy. It seems that a Friend Of A Friend knew a professor who knew an old colleague with a crazy idea for a time machine. And he finally got it to work.

Now the Mad Scientist has teamed up with a Greedy Millionaire who wants to become a billionaire, and together they’re having their shingle painted up right now. The name of the concern will be, “Practical Time Travel: Anything from Any Time!”

They are still learning what the Mad Scientist’s contraption can and cannot do, and they’re being commendably cautious at first lest they somehow change all of reality and find themselves staring at the remnants of a nuclear winter. But what they have found is that they can send someone back in the machine, which is about the size of a telephone booth, and have him obtain…legally or otherwise…items to bring back with him, which arrive in like-new condition (if they were new at the other end, of course) and are fully functional.

At least for the present they’re not taking passengers, either forward or back. The Mad Scientist opines that moving forward might prove practically impossible in any kind of recoverable manner; there are too many possibilities going forward and the continuum decomposes too rapidly. You could jump somewhere, but you would likely never return to the same point in the continuum from which you left. However, going the other way works well; with the timeline into the past being precisely defined and the machine itself in the here and now to anchor it, so far all but one of the “alpha testers” has come back successfully with an artifact from the test. And maybe that one was a glitch…

Now, as they’re preparing the IPO, they’re ready to seek out beta testers. The professor has a new, larger machine ready, one which can accommodate an object up to about the size of a 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive. What could you obtain, you ask? How about original spare parts for that production equipment which was built in the 1950s by a company which went out of business in the 1970s? How about copies of Action #1? Possibly a brand-new 1971 Hemi ‘Cuda convertible? All you would have to do is go back and find a dealer, with either enough pre-1970 $100 bills or else enough gold bullion (at $35/troy ounce) to pay your deposit when the time traveler places your special order. Plus the company’s fee, of course. Jump eight weeks later when it’s delivered, take possession, key the temporal homing signal to call for a return…and it’s yours.

One of the conditions of the deal is that you have to keep this absolutely hush-hush. If you do, you’ll be granted the right to purchase the IPO stock at par. But you’re able to try the service out right now, while it’s still unknown.

What is your order, sir? (Or Ma’am!)

Edit To Add (a couple of clarifications):

• The machine is physically located in Chicago, IIlinois. It is convenient to both a railroad track and a highway.
• The ultimate time range is still to be determined, but jumps as far back as 10,000 years have been successfully completed during the initial testing.
• The machine has a physical displacement range of approximately 500 miles/800 km. Within that range it can successfully teleport an object with a negligible time displacement.
• The "beta testing fee" is 20% of the retrieved item's estimated market value, or 50% of the amount of gold (or the purchase price of period currency) which must be spent to obtain it, whichever is higher, plus $1,000 per day (or portion) which the time travel technician must spend in the destination time. This daily charge may be pooled between multiple customers procuring in the same time period.

What’s your strategy and what kind of professionals are you trying to gain the knowledge / skills from?

You get 2k a day, but everything you say has to be sung, it can be any time you want it to be as well. You must speak at least 500 words a day, if you don't then whatever you earned up until that day is yours to keep. How long would you do this for?

He get's an update of your exact location every hour, but only has one week to kill you. It's just Ronald Reagan reincarnated to age 50. He will be ignored by authorities, but not civilians. If you kill him, you get a free pet cat. If you survive the week without killing him, two cats. The expenses of the cat/s will be paid in full for the duration of their lives. The M1911 has infinite ammunition, but he needs to reload video game style, drop a mag, a new mag spawns at his waist. Also he's in a track suit and decent quality running shoes. You cannot leave your current country, nor can he. He will start in your current city, you will have his location at the time of his arrival.

You are given a magic button and every time you push it you are given $5,000 tax free into your bank account. But when you push the button a random word is forever removed permanently from your vocabulary and can never be relearned. Additionally your brain is scanned when you are given the button and the word removed is one of the words you already know. You can add new words to your vocabulary but you can’t dilute the list of potential words removed, what ever words you know know those are the words that can potentially be lost forever. All tenses of the word are lost for example sleep, sleeping, slept would all be gone but a related different word like rest would be safe. How many times would you push the button? How many words would you loose for ever?

This is your job and you can’t do anything else for money. For some reason, in this world, there’s a market for having bootyhole hairs plucked. Everyone does it, even homeless people and people that don’t wash their ass. You never know who is gonna pop in. You have to pluck them with tweezers, one at a time. No just grabbing a bunch and ripping them out. You can pick them individually as fast as you want though.

Edit: alright alright, it can also be bootycheek hairs and you can get $2.

So a rich billionaire wants to give money away. However, he will only give you money(one mil) if you nominate someone else to get their own one mil. However Billionaire Betsy has rules. It has to be someone who's only touched your life in an a small capacity. It can not be anyone you are related to nor can it be a friend. If you try to loop hole it she'll get mad and not give you money. She's not an idiot.

Examples that would be acceptable: The guy who works at your favorite pizza place and makes the best pizzas there. That Walmart greeter who is always really nice to you. The single mom down the street, maybe her name is Christina?

Examples that aren't acceptable:the coworker you talk to everyday but don't hang out with outside of work. A parent or child. Your childhood best friend you haven't talked to in a while.

You are gifted a vial. When you spray it on your throat, for a short period, any sound you make, makes people of the opposite sex completely fall head over heels in love with you, thinking you are the most attractive, funniest, most charming individual to ever walk the earth. They will literally do ANYTHING for you.

But if someone of the same sex hears your sound, you are the most repulsive, disgusting, vile hateful SOB of all time.

This effect lasts 2 hours, and afterwards, they come to their senses and couldnt believe how they were acting towards you. So there will probably be repercussions. (You can use it again on the same people more than once for the same effect)

Do you use this potion? How?

You’re sent back to the battle of Bunker Hill, where you will serve as a revolutionary attempting to change the tide of the battle.

You can bring any weapon that can be carried by you, and reasonably operated by one person (ex, a matching gun is fine; a tank is not)

You can bring as much ammunition as you can reasonably carry

Assume that you know how to operate this weapon, and also assume that nobody is “afraid” of it (AKA none of the enemies are going to think you’re a god or something and just run away, you actually have to shoot them)

What weapon are you choosing, and how much of an impact do you think you would have on the battle?

BONUS QUESTION: Imagine you’re fighting for the British instead, would you choose a different weapon?

You get a free $100 in crisp, new, untraceable bills today. It's tax-free, nobody can take it away from you, and you can spend it on anything you want.

But you have to spend the rest of your life in excruciating physical pain. In every hour of every day from the day you take receipt , your entire body is wracked

The rate the account grows increases every day.

Day 1 - $1

Day 2 - $1 + $2 = $3

Day 3 - $3 + $3 = $6

Day 10 - $45 + $10 = $55

Day 365 - $66065 + $365 = $66430

How long do you hold out before using the money? Using it as collateral for a loan or promising it to anyone counts as using it and ends the growth. You're welcome to change your own saving/spending in the meantime.

But it would cost them 5 IQ points. So like what embarrassing moment do you hope people just forget happened

50 dicks, 12 feet tall with a terrible slouch, the grammer skills of mine, eyes looking like their about to pop, skin made of wood, bones made of coal, itches all over, and lastly. You cant die or be dismembered

Good news is, they require little maintenance. In terms of maintenance and repair. And refueling too.

A deity appears and tells you life is a one and done deal due to a programming error.

The deity offers you the choice, be the experiment to test the correction to the coding error and be reincarnated as a human, or equivalent, until you either opt out later or the program ends, your memories will kick in the night of your third birthday once alone, or perfect health for the rest of your current life for not telling anyone that everything is a simulation.

In either case if you try to talk about the simulation you will have an aneurism and die instantly the first option just sends you into reincarnation experiment.

You just know for a fact, and it will happen at 8:15 AM. You can do anything a regular person can do. Assume any other neccessary details to give your answer. You speak the language and know the culture etc.

As you might know, Kim Jong Un attended a private school in Switzerland from 1993 to 1998. You’re transferred as a student/teacher (whichever you think will be easier) to the same class as him for the period when he studied (so, 5 years in total). By any means necessary you need to prevent him from becoming a dictator. You have all the knowledge from today’s world (let’a say you have a phone with an infinite access to the modern internet) and infinite amount of money. If you succeed, you will be taken back to the future the same moment you’ve left and given 10,000,000$. If you don’t, you won’t receive the money but still come back from the past. How would you go about it?

By “preventing from becoming a dictator” I don’t mean killing him. I mean converting his world views so this won’t happen.

So you must fully incapacitate all 5,000 kindergartners. The room is the size of a large college auditorium but is dressed up as a giant classroom filled with typical classroom items such as desks, chairs, pencils, computers, a chalkboard etc.

You cannot come prepared with any outside weaponry such as any outside knife or gun, and your clothes are just your typical Monday attire.

You ARE allowed to use whatever objects or items that are already in the classroom as weapons and even use the kindergartners themselves as weapons if need be.

The "army" of 5,000 kindergartners is not an actual army. It is just 5,000 of your standard kindergartners and whatever they would normally have with them when going to school, such as backpacks, books, their lunch, etc.

You will be waiting in the classroom all alone for 10minutes giving you time to prepare, then the bell will ring in which the kindergartners will begin heading to your classroom from the other parts of the school.

As soon as they step into your classroom they will immediately be hellbent on taking your life!

You cannot lock the doors at any moment, and you must remain in the classroom at all times during your battle.

Would you survive? Could you survive? How many of you think you can win the $1Million?
