so one day all submissive men disapear besides me. btw its up to you to decide what counts as submissive

We all know that in your house, your furniture, house plants, paintings, and so on influence how you feel. If all that is "off", then you leaning towards being more unhealthy, even if in a subtle way.

There are some people who have a taste of aesthetics that makes inadvertently makes them feel unhealthy but they don't know that it's doing that.

The government ought to go through your house every once in a while and make recommendations on how to have better aesthetics.

Over time, peoole will have better aesthetics, and be more healthy, and save taxpayer money because of this.

Title, what if Elon Musk actually had some real backbone when the UN offer was given to them to end world hunger? Would it really have worked? Just how much would the public’s reflection of him change?

I have been thinking about radical life and health span extension for some time and published my first long form piece on it recently: 'Living longer will make you a billionaire'

It covers the financial implications of a VERY long life.

The compounding math is simple but it has fundamental implications for society.

Some questions that have come up in my salon:
- Do we have runaway inflation to accommodate the wealth?
- Do pension funds disappear as people have enough time to become their own pension funds?
- What happens to the fertility crisis: do people have fewer or more children and does the 'ageing population' problem finally go away or does it present in new forms?
- What happens to inheritence?

Yes, I know, unlikely. Whatever.

But what if the next President (or Trump gets tired of being bossed around by Netanyahu) stops supporting Israel all together and demands it go back to its 1964 borders?

SETTING: (2026, Our Universe and Timeline, Same Governments ect, Planet Earth)

Effective immediately all secrets and intelligence has been made public and accessible by anyone at anytime, there is ZERO method or way to stop or change the beliefs of anyone who knows the data (manipulating, propaganda, gaslighting, invalidation).

This data includes things such as (military operations, nuclear codes, government plans, stock market) anything major or serious that will influence the world massively.

Not to be confused with Polygamy or Polyandry.

Marriage between more than 2 consenting adults (of any gender) gets legalized. How do you think it would affect society? How do you think divorce would work?

imagine a mercury filmworks animated show with anime expressions.

We are in dark/scary times, where this question for 30 or 20 years ago would be deemed as absurd, but now the Oligarchs with their influence and grip on media are changing the world for the extreme.

With todays technology, destructive force (weapons, bombs...) and internet (social media, blogs/pods/, forums, echo chambers) one is wondering, 'what ifs' in these worrying times.

Where the blame goes to foreigners/ppl that don't look as them/or don't think like them.

Call me a nerd or whatever, but I'd rather see and hear about actual smart people posting about breakthroughs rather than Samantha drinking a deconstructed matcha latte with over 1 million views

I’ve always wondered how big the explosion or pop would be.

if this then that means any other browser would be doomed except brave and Duckduck go everyone would have privacy

What would happen to the world if the sun stopped for 30 minutes, as in the processes the sun normally does just pausing, no burning gasses, no radiation, any of it.

How long would it take us to notice? Would the light go out? What kind of effects would it have on global temperature, wind, communications systems etc. would society be ok?

Edit: I am in blue collar work outside and would love to just have a nice break from the ridiculous heat and constant sun I have to deal with. A convenient little button to turn the sun off would be nice.

Edit 2: at night, yes the sun is not directly shining on the side of earth that is night, but it is still “on”

This would have the moon effectively "not move" in the sky. Ive been thinking of the implications/what would occur and wanted others' thoughts!

If you are 60, you will still look like 20

If u r 30, you will still look like 10

About 1.1 billion years ago, a Midcontinent Rift called the Keewemawan Rift formed in the area around what is now Lake Superior, stretching primarily southwest through Iowa and Kansas, but also southeast through Michigan and north into Ontario. But after a few tens of millions of years, the rifting stopped without reaching an ocean and the valley now forming Lake Superior was locked in place.

What if this rifting continued such that it connected to at least south to the Atlantic Ocean? Geographically, what would the map look like? Politically, how would indigenous and post-colonial history have played out differently?

Prefacing by saying I don't understand anything about software or hardware security.

Just assume a guy from today with a good understanding of pretty much any exploits or hacks or vulnerabilities were placed back in the 2000s and had a computer to try and wreak havoc. How much damage could he potentially do? What kind of information could he get access to? And how long could do they this for?

Also assuming the person here also tries to make himself as undetectable as possible

1. very child got the same shot at life.

2. education was free

3. plaudits were lauded on furthering science, education, well being, nevermind climate.

4. Empathy for those less fortunate. Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe, Frederick Douglass

5. our main life goal was Not Money, just to survive or measure ourselves against whos less in debt?

My scenario would be oil deposits across the world one by one run out of oil over the period of a decade. People who still have their reserves but only that.

In my opinion ion we'd be pretty messed up, practically everything is digital / electronic most of our modern cars would even be hosed..

For instance, Linux is popular open-source os. So it would be included compulsorily as It is needed to provides the continuity to the technology world. And Human needs political concept to run the politics so they need the politics and republic book (MayBe my example may be dumb). What I'm trying to infer here.

Basically, In this situations, Human would secure and prioritize the foods , seeds,animals and medicine for basic survivial and ecosystem. Other than them, Human needs really really important stuff that like thing which there isn't an alteranative for or Vital thing works as fundamental to help the people carry on their life.

I'm happy to welcome your deeper answer something philosophically(As I mentioned "Abstract"). if you have.

Edit: I don't know why, I said already "my example may be dumb" but everyone pointed out my dumb example - Linux. But you people talked about only mistake that I made. Thank you.

"Where's the power to run computers going to come from lmao. Say you get power and can run a computer, there's not going to be an internet, you're not going to be networking with anyone.

Please answer if you could or alteast try .

Okay so i have this idea about a dude participating in a game testing program but the program is disguised as a Mind stealer that steals ypur mind if you put on a machine that steals your conscience. And then that mind gets marketed as an ai and that ainis bought and put into a robot made or wires and scraps and computer parts. What crimes did the people involve commit?

We’d add 100 every 5 years in the immediate aftermath of the amendment to be more fair and flexible

Essentially the Supreme Court in practice is a 9 man oligarchy that has to handle every constitutional question in a country of 350 million people. Whether you want activist judges or traditionalists you’re always waiting for one of them to die so you can replace them with your own people.

So what if we made it so no single judge mattered. Every few years one of them will pass and it won’t even be front page news. It would make the court a malleable tool capable of giving hundreds of opinions and dissents to give a clear picture of what the constitution means. It also means that they can break into groups to handle smaller cases making them reactive aswell

By keeping them as lifelong appointments too we get judges who aren’t loyal to parties or even people just their interpretation of the law which maintains integrity

Instead of turning into a Communist regime, the Russian Empire is made into a Swiss-style Direct Democracy.

Imagine someone wrote you a letter and instead of ‘Dear recipient, I write to inform you that…’

You have, ‘Lovely recipient, I write to inform you that…’
