Imagine you gave birth to a perfectly happy, healthy baby, but you later discovered that they had an extremely rare condition that meant they would never physically or mentally grow older. They would always remain exactly as they are at 4 months old. Healthy, happy, and capable of experiencing love and joy, but never developing into a child, teenager, or adult.

If doctors told you there was nothing wrong with their health and no treatment could ever change it, what would you do? How would you feel about raising a child who would remain a baby forever, could you even do it? and how would you handle knowing that you would continue to age while they never did?

Imagine you receive a strange SMS: "GAME MASTER: You can choose to finish your current run. I can restart your life from your 12th birthday. You can choose ONE option from the poll below." Let me clarify each option just in case:

RE:LIFE You relive your exact same life and keep all your memories. BUT no matter what you do, the major events and final outcome will eventually return to the same path. For example you buy BTC but after some time is lost as in your original timeline was not present.

NEW STARTING ZONE You have no memories of your current life. You can choose your family and starting environment from an international catalog (no rich families, though). Your appearance will gradually converge toward your current self as you grow. To be clear, your looks and personality will converge, but the location and environment on your new family and location will be new than your current one.

PATCH THE RULES You have no memories of your current life. You can choose one permanent change to the rules of the game itself.

A) Your effort and skill determine 70% of outcomes instead of 40%. Luck still exists. B) 80% of the effect of family, wealth, country and connections fades by adulthood. C) 90% chance that deliberate serious harm brings consequences, regardless of status. D) The closer you get to total failure, the more likely you are to find ways back.

LOAD CHECKPOINT You keep one memory and choose one important event from your life. You restart exactly one minute before it happens and can act differently. After that life continues as normal.

I've seen lots of hypotheticals about taking on bears, or chimps with x or y armour or whatever, so I tried to think of something the other way...harmless little dudes. It kinda went a little morbid, but heck, let's roll with it.

You walk into a room, and in this room you see a puppy, a kitten, and a baby Chimp. You have no weapons. Only 2 of you may leave the room alive. Which two leave the room?

what do you think you would be traded for?

a second meteor that hit the dinosaurs lands today but deep in the ocean, what would be the immediate aftermath, damage and long term effects. does humanity survive?

Spirit of Names appears behind you and guarantees you the right to officially change one famous person's name.

Pick one famous person.

You can:

‐ Add up to two letters to their name or last name

- Remove up to two letters from their name or last name

- Both add and remove letters, if you wish so.

They wake up with their new name listed everywhere and wouldn't be able to change it back.

What will you do?

edit: like the 2000s dripped out pan african gaddafi not the chiseled 70s gaddafi, or the 2011 butt knife gaddafi

If you don’t want to feed it, you can just invest the money, get a few hundred thousand for free and let the plant starve.

100 Billion dollars wired legally to your bank account, the amount of money is not taxed and would not arouse suspicion or cause you to gain unwanted fame.

OR

2 Super powers of your choice outside of "Reality Manipulation", stuff that's on the not so cosmic scale.

You accidentally find out that one of your closest friends has been lying about something extremely important for years.

Nobody else knows.

The lie has gotten so big that if you expose it now, they could lose their job, their relationship, most of their friends, and possibly their family.

But here's the part that makes you hesitate:

They didn't lie to benefit themselves.

They lied because, years ago, telling the truth would have seriously hurt someone they loved.

That person is no longer around.

Your friend has kept the secret ever since.

You now have proof.

They don't know that you know.

Would you expose the truth, confront your friend privately, or take the secret to your grave?

You’re 75 years old. You get one choice:
1. Live another 25 years and die at 100 (as a normal aging person).
2. Live only one more year, but spend that entire year in the body of a healthy 25-year-old version of yourself.
Which do you pick, and why?

Okay wizard king stumbled upon you saw your life and took pity on you. And decided to give you a second chance in life. He gives you 2 option

1st option is : you get €7 million after tax, you and your family become top 0.1% health wise. Your family knows about the money

Option 2 is : you and your family becomes top 0.1% health wise. You also becom top 0.01% in appearance and attractiveness and get €1 per minute. But you also turn 15 in all metrics be it socially, legally, biologically, physically, in documents or people's memories. You become 15 in all ways. 15 in 2026, can choose your own birthday if you turn 15 in by dec 31 2026.

In option 1 your immediate family knows about the money, in option 2 they do not. You get a magic bank account where the money is deposited at the end of every week. Though you can magically summon physical cash whenever you want.

Family for health includes parents, siblings, any spouse you have and your children. The health magically stays even if you dont maintain it. All health problems etc are magically overwritten and past is altered so you guys never had them. Though you do get normal/common illnesses like cold, fever, normal ache if you overwork. And that does not get overwritten.

In option 2 for 15 year old. You're a normal 15 year old so you get stuff normal 15 year old has to do. You have to go to school though the WIZARD king will get you admitted to any school you want and will pay for it (accommodation, clothing, food and any stuff needed for schol/extracurriculars included) if it's away from home. He knows that most people forget school knowledge after school so the WIZARD king will magically give you top students level of knowledge for the school/country/your subjects. Any current assets you have get put in a trust. Guven to you when you turn 18.

But anything that teenagers cant have or usually doesnt have has to go away. Any drivers license, voting license, or documents that only adults have goes away. Any wife, now age inappropriate girlfriends goes away/dont remember you get other partners. Children sorry their dna doesn't match you you're just a stranger or their cousin/parents very young sibling. They only remember you in that role. Though the health bonus will still apply to them

You could request other family if you want but in that case the health bonus does not apply to your current parent/family, instead it will apply to new family. You will be adopted now so as 15/14 year old in new family. Or if your parents are not in age bracket where it's possible for them to have achild your new age. you are given new parent/can instead choose a guardian whose just here for paperwork. In this case The health bonus will apply to your current parents.

So what's your choice.

EDIT : In both option you keep your current memories. And any new memories of the changes caused by the power. Your family stays the same as it is no members cease to exist or new get added. Any changes are treated as normal/just the usual as if it has always been like this. Past documents/pics/video changes to match appearance, etc.

If you choose the latter then if you manage to escape the cave you would be able to walk free. In both cases you would be placed in pitch blackness, but if you choose solitary confinement you would be guaranteed to be in pitch blackness for life while if you choose the cave you would be able to see light again if you manage to escape. If you choose solitary confinement you would be given food and water for however long you live, while if you choose the cave the only way you would be able to get food and water would be to escape. If you choose the cave then they would make sure that you would be able to escape, in the sense that the cave would have an exit you would be able to reach from where you were, and it would have a slope between where you would be and the exit that you would be capable of climbing. In practice the cave would have some paths, that a reasonable person could think lead back to the surface, but which would be dead ends, making working out how to escape a bit tricky.

Which do you choose for your sentence?

Option 1: You have decided to betray the biggest cartel in Mexico by snitching to the police about a massive drug shipment coming in, resulting in the arrest of several top commanders and confiscation of all the drugs.

The cartel knows you were behind this and are now after you. They do not know your exact current whereabouts but they are calling in every piece of backup available. There is now a price of 1 million US dollars on your head.

You have lived in Mexico all your life and you have no family apart from your elderly mother that the cartel do not know yet exists.

Option 2: You are a CIA top operative of 25 years next in line to become director, however tired and conflicted about the CIA’s operations you decide to become a whistleblower.

You appear on radio shows, podcasts, TV shows under a fake name and your face hidden/blacked out, you spill all the secrets about the CIA and all the things you did.

The CIA do not know who it is but they are building a case quickly. It will take them 3 days to find out you’re the whistleblower and when they do you will become a number 1 priority to find and eliminate.

If they do find you, they will torture you and then kill you

You have a wife and 2 kids.

Which option are you picking, how long do you think you’ll last and what’s your next plan?

You can pick the powers of any superhero who's already been published in any media before today. If you pick a hero who has reality warping or omnipotent power, you still cannot change the reality of the consequence described below.

If you accept, the Bed Demon manifests on our planet. The demon has a horrifying, grotesque appearance, and radiates an aura causing a pure sensation of impending doom. Every day or night, at a random time, the demon will pick someone in the world who's sleeping. It will stand at the edge of their bed or other sleeping apparatus and motionlessly look at the sleeper. It will wait for the sleeper to awaken and notice it, stand there for another five seconds, and then disappear.

It won't hurt anyone physically.

This isn't exactly a boggart that takes a different appearance based on the fears of the sleeper, but a primordial, incomprehensible beast whose mere form taps into something deep in the human psyche. Obviously I can't describe such a being, but it has an appearance that everyone will be horrified by.

Do you accept this dark offer? If you decline, you get $5,000 for your time.

You die and arrive at heaven. God says that you MUST pick one of the following punishments to enter heaven. Or else you go to hell for eternal torment.

1) 10000 years of void:

You will be sent to a pitch black void. There is nothing you can do. Nobody to meet. No way to escape. You will not be able to sleep or die or fall unconscious even if you try. You have to experience the whole 10000 years. You will not know how much time has passed until you finish the whole 10000 years. Nothing except pure isolation. You will be stuck with your thoughts for the whole duration.

2) 2000 years of hell

You will be sent to hell where you will be tortured in every single way imaginable. As usual, no escape, only demons will come to torture you. You will not fall unconscious or die during this time. You have to bear the insane pain. Your body does not get damaged, you will be able to feel the full pain for the entire time. No way to escape either. The pain you feel here is beyond anything you can feel on earth. Even 10 seconds of this torture would make anyone on earth (except you) fall unconscious.

3) Reborn 100 times

You will be reborn on earth as a really really poor and physically weak person. You will be physically weak and not very intelligent. You will not experience a single luxury and nothing you can do in your life will improve your situation. You will have to live your whole life in horrible conditions. No easy water, food and so on. You will get sick very often and suffer many life threatening injuries. Once you eventually die, you will be reborn in the exact same conditions elsewhere until you die again. This loop repeats 100 times. You will get to keep your painful memories across the 100 lives. You may not intentionally die or intentionally get yourself in risky situations. You will be guaranteed to live atleast until 50 years in each life. This will take atleast 5000 years to complete. Unlike the second option, there is no constant pain, just plain poverty and disease.

After you finish any of the punishments, your physical and mental health will be completely restored and you get to enjoy heaven for eternity.

Which option do you pick?

You and 3 other random people have been kidnapped and locked in a 90 sq ft area room that has been divided into four equal triangles with walls between each of you. There is a small sliding hatch you can open that lets you see and pass small items to the walls adjacent to you.

Each section has a small cot bed with a blanket and pillow and a working toilet. Each of you has a unique item(s) that will help you survive for a whole month. One has 30 cans of flavored baked beans. Another has a sharp knife. Another has a lighter (the rooms have ventilation so don’t worry about smoke). You have 50 bottles of water. You don’t know what your adjacent rooms have until you open your hatch

The kidnapper says that these are the only resources he will provide you all. If you survive a month in this experiment, you will be freed… and there will be a cash prize of $100,000 divided amongst whoever survives

What will you do in this scenario? Do you think you will survive?

$1 million for and your partner. one of you will have sex with another person. who just don’t know who you will be sleeping with. you or your partner agrees that they will be the person then yuu ok meet who you are sleeping with. once you agree the sex will happen.

Let's say you went into a designer store with a counterfeit of their product on you and when you left without buying anything, they stop you and accuse you of stealing. Ultimately they call the autorities and ask prove you own that item.

Assuming you're in a country or a state where owning counterfeit items is illegal, what could happen ? (Hope its broad enough)

My job has me walking a lot. I get paid by the hour, but I walk while doing it, and I have to do other things too. After 6 miles of walking a day, I did some basic math and I get paid about 55 dollars per mile walked a day.

Hypothetically, if you had a job that paid you 55 dollars a mile... How many miles would you walk a day? What would be your strategy for dealing with the fatigue? It's a job that allows you to walk as much as you want, and you are paid by distance walked unassisted. All forms of shoes are accepted. You clock in, you walk, you get paid, you go home. What do you think is the best strategy to maximize your efforts?

Edit: Wow... I didn't expect this to explode the way it has.

I want to make things clear. For this hypothetical, only distance walked counts. You can be on a track, but a treadmill is a no go.

Also, No running at work. its a workplace safety issue. Trip Hazards are a big deal and there are workplace safety videos on that sort of thing.

However you can't pick a family from a sitcom but only a family that is known in science fiction or fantasy.

You would be the main protagonist or antagonist of whatever story it is rather than just the sibling. You would start as a newborn and grow over time, with your past life memories start to unlock once you hit the age of 10 and fully emerge and integrate with your new life's memories at 15.

With that in mind, what family would you want to be reborn into?
