If you happen to pay attention to the entire course of events, how would you really feel?

Between having one of the following abilities:

a) to telepathically know at the time when someone compliments or says/thinks something positive about a object/someone you know. You can choose the person to direct this ability on (the person can be a stranger).

Example for this ability: E.g person A says/thinks positive things about person B/object B -> you know who is person A (full name only), the whole compliment in sentences (if the sentence is in another language, you would understand it as if it was translated to your main language) and the recipient of the compliment (full name of object B/person B)

b) to telepathically know at the time when someone criticizes or speaks ill of you. You know the whole phrase said/thought by the other person but will not know who said/thought it.

Example for this ability: E.g person C criticizes you -> you know the whole criticism in sentences (if the sentence is in another language, you would understand it as if it was translated to your main language). But you would not know who person C is nor any information pertaining to them, apart from the criticism.

Which ability would you pick, and how will you use it to your benefit?

For $1B (tax-free), every single human being in the world will know everything that you can ever remember in your head. Everything from your name and face, to your personal address, to your most embarrassing memories, to even whatever fetishes you have.

If you can remember it, the entire world can remember it.

Turns out God is real. You know this because they kill every human on the planet except for you. They then grant you immortality and total invincibility. Nothing can kill or even hurt you.

God then says to you, “Lowly, pathetic human, I am giving you 1000 years to escape this planet and enter outer space (crossing the Karman line 100 kilometers above sea level). If you succeed, I will undo everything back to the moment before I killed everyone. If you don’t succeed, not only do I not undo my actions but I kill you and destroy earth forever.

Can you do it? Can you save humankind?

What message do you send, if any? It will of course be translated.

What do you do? How do you respond?

The person saying it cannot benefit from this arrangement monetarily or through some sort of gift giving.

You can only earn this once per unique person. It must be in person or at least verbally spoken.

What's your strategy?

You hear a familiar woman's voice at the door.

Woman: "Please open up! Please!" You check the peep hole and see it's Kayla, your college classmate. You open the door, she rushes in and quickly closes and locks it. She then hugs you. "Thank you! Thank you!"

You: "What's going on? Is someone chasing you?"

Kayla: "Mr. Gales is trying to kill me!" Mr. Gales was a professor at your college until he assaulted Kayla. He was fired and sent to jail.

You: "What the... why?" You hear a loud bang on the door, like someone kicked it. Kayla runs into the living room. You hear another kick. And another. You quickly run into the kitchen and grab a knife before regrouping with Kayla.

The door bursts open and Mr. Gales, wielding a machete, rushes in. You raise your knife at Mr. Gales as he approaches, stopping him in his tracks.

You: "Hey!" You and Kayla are backed into a corner with no escape. Kayla is panicking and clinching the back of your shirt.

Mr. Gales: "Get out of my way." You stand there, holding your knife up at him. "You're willing to die for this piece of shit? You believe her lies, don't you?" You're too afraid to speak. He looks at Kayla. "Go on. Tell him."

Kayla: "..."

Mr Gales: "TELL HIM!!!"

Kayla: "I... I was never assaulted... When he caught me cheating and failed me, I was mad. I told my friends that he had groped me. I just wanted them to take my side, but they ended up going to the cops. I didn't want to speak to them, but they encouraged me to. I... made up a story so they didn't find out the truth. I never intended for any of this to—"

Mr. Gales: "That's enough. Couldn't have said it better myself. I lost everything because of you—my job... my wife... my son... I went to jail. No one will hire me. I have people vandalizing my property! 'Rapist!' 'Pedophile!' I LOST EVERYTHING!"

Kayla: [Crying] "I'm sorry!" Mr. Gales shakes his head.

Mr. Gales: "I'm going to make you feel what I felt. The pain... The loneliness... You'll feel it all. Now... get out of my way. You don't deserve to die over trash like her."

What do you do?

You are offered the chance to fight Mike Tyson, in his prime, in a bare-knuckle boxing match to the death. That’s it. Do you take the offer?

Just kidding, there’s more. You have exactly three months to train, starting now. The moment you die you are respawned and start the fight over. Tyson forgets but you remember. In this way you can learn to fight Tyson as he murders you over and over again. Your body is physically reset (you cannot get stronger or faster), but you do retain muscle memory.

You are stuck in this endless cycle of fighting Tyson until you win more than 50% of matches over a 1000 game span. If you get to 1 trillion games without completing this objective, you die for good and all your earthly possessions are willed to Mike Tyson.

If you complete your objective, you escape the fight cycle and are granted 1 billion dollars and selective immortality (meaning you can be immortal but also choose to die whenever you want).

Edit: one more clarifier - you are given immunity from going insane or breaking down from the repetition.

Do you take the offer?

For the first option, there's too many skills to explain the skill level of, so I'm just gonna give you a bunch of examples.

Football: barely enough to make into a small team Writer: enough to get an undergrad Musicianship: enough to play in a small orchestra Mathematics: enough to pass high school with all 100%

In the 2nd option, you may choose any skill you want. It cannot be something vague or trying to beat the system, such as: sports/being able to learn new skills.

The skill level of this skill would match the skill of the human, dead or alive, who is the best at it. Some divine beings who have seen all will pick this human.

This doesn't completely remove your own taste, however. Meaning that if you picked singing, and the divine beings chose say, Michael Jackson, as the best singer, you will not sound like his voice, but just have a voice as controlled and skilled as his.

You are teleported to somewhere in Eurasia 100,000 years ago, your goal is to survive 3 months and then you are teleported back once the time is up and the money is yours.

Rules:

1. You can bring 3 items of your choice for free, you can add more items for -$10 million in winnings per item. Items cannot be ridiculous for example a whole house.

2. Whatever injury's occur will transfer over to the real world when you are back and if you die you die for good.

3. When you are transported you will have the clothes to match the weather of the area and for the first 48 hours there will be no predators in a 1 mile radius.

If you take the deal, what items do you bring and roughly how do you survive?

We've all seen the movies and read the stories.

The person becomes obsessively attached to you, can't bear to not be by your side for a second, and will go to any extreme lengths to get you back. This is an inevitable curse in the end.

My version is lighter. What you have the power to do here is get a person to like you, take an initial interest in you based on what they know, and they could see themselves being with you. They will approach you at the earliest reasonable opportunity.

So you'll be past first date status from the gitgo, but let's get to know each other better before jumping in the sack kind of thing.

They can still break up with you, and you can still break up with them. Be good to them and you'll probably keep them, but you still have to maintain the relationship and meet them half way.

But a change to them is still made. It has to be, presuming that this person had no interest in you prior and this couldn't have been effected on your own.

The magic has to remove any and all reservations about dating you, and also give the person a nude towards noticing, and liking your personal qualities.

The change in their overall personality depends on just how much of a leap it was for them to see themselves with you, and the nature of the changes.

There's a chance chance that they won't otherwise seem any different, but at least in some small way, this isn't FULLY the same person.

Is the love real? It's really not, but then, they don't know that.

If you break up (doesn't matter who dumps who) they'll be set fully free from the spell 30 days later. At which point they may, in effect, wonder what lead to that initial attraction in the first place.

And of course there are natural consequences. How their friends react, the possibility they have to break up with someone to be with you, and it's the 6'4 Quarterback of your universities division 1 football team, you know, usual stuff here. Do your recon, look before you leap kind of deal, and decide what you're willing to deal with.

Would you, or was there ever a time, when you would have done this?

A rich billionaire offers you a game. It is a one time offer to play the game. You are given four options to choose from:

A) risk it for the biscuit: You get a 25% chance of winning $11,000,000, but a 75% chance you have to pay them $200,000.

B) a coin flip: You get a 50% chance of winning $4,500,000, but a 50% chance you have to pay them $100,000.

C) the odds in your fabour: You get a 75% chance of winning $2,500,000, but a 25% chance you have to pay them $50,000.

D) walk away: You get a 100% chance of winning $0 and a 0% chance of loosing anything. You just walk away.

All winnings are tax free, paid into your bank account, no questions or negative legal implications. Any money you have to pay them must be paid, you can't declare bankruptcy or run away, you can choose to pay it over time at the current interest rate, or upfront if you have the cash. All percentages are 100% random and there is no way of skewing the odds to be more or less in your favor. You can have up to 1 week to mentally / financially prepare.

Which option do you choose? What's your strategy?

Okay hear me out… what if, right, I hired some strippers, stay with me, and I delivered them to the White House? Now, you must be asking yourself, “hm there’s no way they would let strippers in the White House!”, to which I say, what if they did. I mean what if they are just like “you know who we’re here for” like that has to go straight to the Oval Office. And, let’s be honest, Trump ain’t turning down any strippers. End scene.

• Once you accept, you receive the money and the police knocks on your best friends door and will take them
• If you don’t have a best friend you are not qualified. If you consider multiple people your best friend it will be the first one you think of
• You cannot warn your friend and they won’t be able to shorten the sentence in any way
• Your friend will know they went to prison because of you. It is up to you to explain the true reason or not

A man approaches you and offers you a deal. You will receive x amount of money in return for eating 1 standard log of human feces. It is fresh and you will meet a stranger who will poop into a plate in front of your eyes. You have a knife, fork, and spoon. No condiments and no water allowed.

What is the LEAST amount of money the man needs to offer you to accept this deal?

You’re offered the choice between saving the person most important to you in the world, could be your significant other, best friend, child, etc. or 1000 complete strangers. They’re not anyone you know, nor are they in any way associated with anyone you know. Other than the knowledge of what you did, there will be no impact to your life, and no one will know what you’ve done unless you tell them, in which case they will magically believe you completely, and will react in accordance with their own personality and values.

If you would save your favourite person regardless, what is the number that would make you waver and potentially pick the strangers to save?

If you would save the strangers, would you be more tempted by 500? 100? Same question as above, what number would you decide to save the person you care about?

Household means: home unit. So, if you live by yourself, you are only making the decision for you. If you live with roommates, you can decide what to choose as a group, but only one person goes to push the button. If you have a spouse/children, same thing: one person pushes the button for the group.

Basically: do you trust humanity enough to do the right thing and push the yellow button? Or ensure your own household’s survival and push purple?

Updated to add: can someone more Reddit-savvy than me please start a tally?

Every centimeter is roughly worth $80,000.

How much of your height, in inches, would you give up/purchase? Assume there is a button you can press that allows you to choose between giving up and gaining height, and how much of each.

ie. If you are 5’11, you can become 5’9 and gain $400,000 or if you are 5’7, you can become 5’10 by paying $600,000.

If you press the button and choose to give up height, the money is instantly deposited into your bank account and you can use it as you please, and vice versa for deduction, and your height is reduced as soon as you confirm your decision.

If you don’t have enough money, but make the purchase, there won’t be any interest, but you’ll be in the negatives and any income you make will cover that deficit first before being used for any other purchases, so you’ll have to have a system in place beforehand for daily necessities or relationships that can cover the sort.

The change won’t alter the proportions of your body, and your leg size, torso size, arms size etc. will magically conform to their proportional increase or decrease.

So, how much are you willing to exchange, if at all, and why?

Also you want that baby and does not want to abandon it.

You can answer prayers, any prayer you want. The only exception is your own prayers and prayers from others that are about benefitting you. The trade off is that the more prayers you answer the more divine power and omnipotence you gain. Meaning you begin developing more powers until you eventually become 100% omnipotent. You will lose your humanity though, so your emotions will fade and empathy will disappear. Other humans will seem insignificant to you and their problems will seem trivial. Your own power cannot restore what once made you human.

What would you do?

Scenario:

You get $100 dollars for every kill you get in online Call of Duty multiplayer, but 1 day is subtracted from your total number of days you will be alive for every death you get in that same match.

Rules:

• You still eventually die however you would’ve died in the future, whether it be old age, disease, accident, etc. It will just happen x amount of days earlier than it normally would have. However, assume you at least have another 5-10 years left of your life guaranteed to avoid any immediate real life deaths.

• At the end of each online COD match, the money earned from your kills is instantly deposited into your bank account tax/liability free.

• Assume normal matchmaking based on your skill level. You also cannot back out of games once started. Connectivity issues (getting kicked from a game due to a timeout error, etc.) result in the stats for that match being forfeit. No money/days will be added or taken away in that scenario.

• Days are subtracted from your life total at the end of each match.

• You can play as frequently as you would like, but every time you enter an online match, the scenario takes effect. The scenario ONLY applies to online multiplayer where other players are playing with/against you. No zombies, campaign, etc.

• Informing the lobby of your situation at any point during the game is prohibited.

For example, say you play an online match of Call of Duty and your stats at the end of the match are 25 kills, 15 deaths. You would then get: 25 kills x $100 = $2500 15 deaths x 1 day = -15 days from the total amount of days remaining in your life.

Playing again with the same stats would result in $5000 and -30 days, and so on.

Would you take this deal? If so, how often would you play and for how long?

Bonus: If you wouldn’t take this, is there another game (competitive multiplayer) that you would take this deal?

(EDIT: Apologies for some comments I think I misunderstood. A 1:1 K/D definitely comes out to be trading $100 for a day. Which, by itself, is not the best deal. I was thinking along the lines of subtracting a set amount of time you were comfortable with giving up at the end of your life (a week, a month, a year) and seeing if the money you’d end up with be worth it! And that definitely varies based on K/D and people’s values. I appreciate everyone’s responses!)

Yep, now we have Monkey Dynasty.

It's only because more people than not believe in them.

Whichever religion and belief has the most true believers is true but that can change with the numbers.

Being an atheist does nothing for you unless you can get most people to honestly become atheists.

What do you do?

During that five years, you won't have to worry about money. If you're currently employed, your job will be waiting for you when the five years is up, if you want it back. All your bills will be paid and you'll get enough money to live your current lifestyle.

• If you choose to spend the time consuming media, you'll have access to any book, movie, music, game, or other media ever made. That includes free tickets to live theater, cinema, sporting events, concerts, etc.
• If you choose to spend the time creating, you'll have whatever materials and resources you need, a dedicated space to do your work, and an appropriate venue to share it with the public.

In either case, you have to treat it like a full-time job, devoting at least eight hours a day, five days a week, with the same amount of days off you'd get in a regular job. The genie will be your manager, checking that you're obeying the spirit of the agreement. (e.g. it's okay to spend some of your creative hours thinking and being inspired, but they'll bust you if you take a year-long vacation and claim you were just getting ideas)

If you violate the terms, the deal is off. You go back to your normal life.

Do you take the deal? Which do you choose? Consume or create?

If you choose to accept you receive 200 thousand dollars in your local currency every year til you die, but every single day you will find something disgusting in your food. It might be something small, like a piece of nail or hair, but it also can be something horrible, like a cockroach or a tail of a rat. Sometimes you will see it straight away, but sometimes you only feel it once your chewing it and it is in your mouth.

No matter what you do it will happen every day in one of your meals, you don’t know which one. It happens even if you home cook your meals. If you decide not to eat for a day, your not gonna find anything obviously, but you’ll be hungry.

You have to pick one or the other:

1. 32 millions USD. Tax free.

Or

2. Have the ability every day to pause the rest of the world for four hours. You pick to pause whenever you want and you don’t have to pause if you don’t want to. During this time any non living thing will work if you interact with it, so TV and streaming services, appliances, etc. HOWEVER, you cannot steal during this time and if you do you lose this ability and are caught.

Which do you pick and why?
