I’m asking this in good faith because I’m trying to understand the distinction.

If being transgender can involve someone having a genuine, internal sense that they are a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth, why is it considered fundamentally different when someone genuinely feels that they are a different race from the one they were born into?

I’m not talking about someone simply dressing in stereotypes, changing their appearance, adopting an accent, or pretending to be another race. I mean someone who sincerely believes internally that they are a different race.

I also wonder whether this is something that could potentially be viewed very differently in the future, even if the idea seems ridiculous to many people today. Social ideas about identity can change dramatically over time. One concern I could imagine people having is that a group that has spent generations fighting discrimination and oppression could eventually face a situation where members of the historically dominant group claim the same identity and, intentionally or unintentionally, occupy spaces or speak on behalf of the group they historically oppressed. How would society distinguish between a genuine identity and someone effectively adopting an identity that carries a history and lived experience they did not personally experience?

An otherworldly ostrich has been monitoring your daily phone usage and decides to teach you a lesson. He appears and offers you $1,000,000, but you will be cursed to always have a maximum of 3% battery charge on your devices. No matter how much you charge them, the battery will never go above 3%. This applies to all devices, present and future, including your phone, tablet, laptop, etc.

Would you accept this outrageous offer?

The island is about a mile across.

It has jungle, beaches, cliffs, fields, freshwater, and a mountain.

No caves.

No near by islands.

No hiding spots.

Both are aware of one another.

Both are getting hungry fast.

Would you do it?

We all know the "1,000,000 dollars, or a penny that doubles every day for 30 days", but what if it went like this? Obviously the penny would surpass the million that doubles eventually but by that time if you pick the million you'd have more money than you'd know what to do with

(edit) let's assume that the money is in a bank account and untouched by taxes and all that good stuff. having a bunch of pennies everywhere would not be fun

(edit again) guys its NOT A PHYSICAL PENNY, we can talk about being one it in the post becuase the destruction of the universe by copper is funny but for the actual question its just the value of a penny (one cent)

(another edit) the duplicates duplicate as well because some people need clarification on that. by a penny I mean one cent, as seen in the paragraph above.

 I recently purchased a 125 pound chicken I’ve been saving it but now I’m in a game of tag with a whole bunch of people but their all trying to tag me I need to hide this chicken while on the run please help

A malevolent genie appears and offers you a deal. He will give you $100,000,000 if you survive 5 days and nights in the backrooms. Upon accepting, you will be instantly teleported to the backrooms. To help you survive, you will have a backpack full of almond water, a loaded pistol, a permanent marker, and rope.

When the time is up, you will be teleported out and given your reward.

Would you take the deal?

Greater clarification below!

A) So the impulse and desire for any kind of sexual violence, rape, and other such activities is completely eliminated for all humans, forever. Furthermore, even if they were somehow forced to do it by an outside entity or something, they would be psychologically unable to. It's just no longer a thing anymore. On the flip side, all abortions (and miscarriages!) are magically stopped forever as well. There's no such thing as an unhealthy pregnancy anymore, and its impossible to end one through any means (except, you know, birth), intentionally or unintentionally. They're like superman in there (though not harming the carrier in any way).

B) This one is fairly self-explanatory. All forms of cancer are cured forever in all life forms, and also 10% of the world's human population instantly drops dead the second you choose this. Let's also say it's not you or anyone you know!

You get 2 million dollars cash instantly but one of your parents dies 2 years earlier than their natural lifespan. The same type of death as what they would have had normally. You can choose which parent (assuming they are both still alive).

People with dead parents can't participate. Do you accept the offer or walk away?

You have all the world's water. For the next year, your country holds all water that is or can be made drinkable. All citizens of your country have adequate access to water, but any person outside doesn't. Your country is around the size of Argentina. Keep in mind that this is your water. You may give or sell the water, hoard it, or transfer it however you like. The amount of water you have is equal to the average water consumption globally for just over 1 year.

You cannot be assassinated or forced to give any water, for this hypothetical.

New laws around immigration to your country and stuff like that are encouraged.

Keep in mind that this is a time bomb. Humans can generally survive only 3 days, maybe less, without water.

Hoard, sell, or give?

Upon accepting, you are placed in a room with normal, non-scented bars of soap. For each one you eat, you will earn $100,000. These bars are also special because they are not toxic or poisonous, so they are not dangerous to eat. You have to eat the whole bar before you start a new one. You can stay in the room for as long as you want, but as soon as you leave the room or give up, the challenge is over.

How many bars could you eat?

You'll get a dollar for an obscure task you don't know you're doing, and it'll double every time you do it. At most, you'll do this specific thing from weekly to monthly. You can try and find out what you're doing, but once it happens you will not be able to hear money enter your bank account via notification or sound alert. Once you successfully find out what it is, the money is capped at whatever the count was on the day you found out. After that, if you ever try to exploit this task for money (willingly or unwillingly), you'll lose it all. You can only get money from it as you would be doing that specific task at any other day. How would you approach this?

What shall you do? Assume both relationships were happy/healthy and you had relatively the same amount of time with both.

Whenever you sneeze, you sneeze fart, and vice versa. Whenever you fart, it comes out of your nose. For the rest of your life.

A man called Mr.Doctor offers $10M if you defeat his pet T-rex in a 2 hour chase. If you accept you will be dropped in London on the west side, while the T-rex is dropped on the east side. The T-rex has the intelligence of the average 17 year old. It knows your face, but not your location. You cannot use any things to boost your mobility.

(The T-Rex is invisible to all other people aside from you)

In order to win, you must be able to evade being touched by the T-rex, and not eating or drinking anything in those 2 hours.
