A genie offers you to make 3 wishes. However, after you make your third wish, he will randomly pick 2 of them and grant them to you. The third wish you made will be granted to the next person he gives that offer to, while you will be granted the ungranted wish from the previous person he met.

The catch is that you don't know what the previous person's wish was, and the genie isn't going to tell you until after you made your wishes. If you are concerned it could be something that will mess up your life, you can leave without making any wishes and get nothing. If you try to "loophole" things to ensure you will be the only benefittor from everything while the next person doesn't benefit from any of your wishes, the genie gets mad for you cheating and revokes the offer, cursing you with eternal bad luck on his way out.

Do you take the wishes, and if so - what do you wish for? If not, why not?

You must pick one non-human animal to compete in an Olympic shooting-related event (i.e. the Rapid Fire Pistol event).

Assume your country provides you with the funding to train an animal and to hire a gunsmith to make an appropriate firearm for them to compete with.

The animal must not be enhanced whether it is through chemical, electronics, mechanical etc. means, though non-electronic soft earplugs for hearing protection are allowed.

You, as the animal's coach, are allowed to be physically present and to guide them through the event.

If the animal shoots you (accidentally or otherwise) that is considered a DNC.

Which animal would you pick to train? How would you make them a gun to compete with?

For the sake of argument, you can answer pretending "I wait until my child is old enough to choose by themselves" is or is not an option, but I think the second is a more interesting thought exercise.

The tail will always be roughly your child's arm's length and a finger's width, fully prehensible and controlled by them. It will be covered by skin that matches the rest of the body's skin. It will cause no health problems. It will start right at the end of your child's spine. For the sake of argument, you can pretend you know all of this beforehand.

If you agree to have the procedure done, only a small scar will be visible and there will be no complications down the line.

Do you choose to amputate your hypothetical child's tail at birth? Why/why not?

The genie is GENUINELY on your side, there will be no tricks. The only stipulations are the wishes must seem plausibly real to your new self (so no superpowers or anything physically impossible, but you could wish to be a rich ultra-attractive super genius or something).

Any negative consequences from the wishes will still happen, for example if you wish for your new family to be rich, they may end up leaving you with nothing. You could also grow to be a worse person. For any unused wishes the genie will pick for you and use his own judgement to better your life, and you WILL be starting over no matter what you do.

If you try to use any loopholes to get more wishes, seemingly impossible things, or even keep your memories, it MIGHT work depending on the method... but then the genie will switch to malicious compliance mode and try to ruin your new life, so tread carefully!

What wishes do you make?

You cant have both. Id pick animals can understand me.

it was even in your tenancy agreement that you would not touch the paprika. any contact you have with the landlord at some point he will always mention the paprika, reminding you NOT to touch the paprika. not to EAT the paprika. not to go anywhere near the paprika.

he even implies he will know if you touch it.

... do you succumb to the curiosity and try the paprika anyway? do you do anything else?

Ok so I got kinda existential with this one

Here are the rules and details:

You will be placed in a chamber without internet connection or windows. The chamber is roughly 30square meters (foughly 100ft) in size. With a 3meter (roughly 10 feet) tall roof. There's a bathroom, and a robot vacuum that keeps the floors clean. In front of you, a huge screen that covers a whole wall, and the most beautiful hi fi sound system you've ever heard. A table with a pause button. You have a clock which tells you the time, a bed, and there are different measures that will help you manage your circadian rythm. Such as adaptive lighting; not only on the space but also on the screen; and background noise if requested.

You may hit the pause button if you want but... it is just a pause button, it won't skip media, it'll just interrupt the play ack

All the media (movies,series,youtube videos,streams,tiktok,instagram posts, reddit posts,music) are stored and ready to play. The playback doesn't have any particular order and you can't see how much playback time is left Media that is music focused is treated different (as explained later in the post) except for music videos, which will be treated like regular media.

Every weekend you are allowed to recieve and send letters from loved ones, with the purpose of not completely isolating you and keep you and your family updated. With a limit of 4 recieved and 4 sent letters per month. Safe to say, you cannot recieve any items outside of letters you can read. You may only write or read letters while music is playing (except music videos as mentioned previously) or while the playback is paused.

If you want you dont have to look at the media, but you can't make time go on faster. On top of that, if you're not looking, you're not allowed to mute, and viceversa. In this case, trying to cover your ears if you're not watching will result in a loud, debilitating phantom ringing induced by your brain implant. And as i've said, goes both ways, preventing you from avoiding the playback.

A device has been implanted in your brain to detect when you're asleep, and also to help induce your sleep. This device also allows individuals without hearing to be able to hear again until the playback is up.

You are barely allowed contact with other human beings. You will get visited by staff, which will serve you with your basic needs, like food, water, maintaining hygiene of the space and also nurses/doctors will come to check on you: however they are not allowed to communicate with you in any humanly or meaningful way. You are allowed tools like razors, tweezers or whatever BASIC products you might need to keep your image if you need to. Clothes, bed sheets, towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Are all provided, no need to worry. In case you have any disabilities or health issues and/or you depend on certain medications or special needs, those will be provided to keep you fit, if so you choose.

-You get three meals a day, and you get to pick the food! however: portions will be controlled, as your diet must be balanced. This means calories will be counted to adjust for your body's daily needs. This is all in efforts to keep you from getting sick... -You may opt out from the controlled diet but in doing so you're voiding any guarantee to get medical attention for conditions that MAY be attained to your own choice, for example: if you picked dietary freedom and get diabetes, it might be assumed by the staff that it was because of your dietary decisions without any further analisis. So be careful with that.

-Necessary dietary supplements (vitamins,minerals,etc...) will be provided aswell.

-You may exercise while you watch everything go by: a threadmill is provided, otherwise you can excersise using your own body and the ground if you wish. Excersising will obviously elevate the amount lf calories you can take in a day. However you are not forced to exercise if you dont want to!

-You can't sleep through the content. The moment you fall asleep, your brain implant detects it and stops the playback. Resuming it only when you wake up.

-In case the media requires you to read, it will be read by a text to speech bot (which you can mute) that reads at about 200 wpm. Making skipping long posts, E-books or other content you've read before impossible to skip through quickly.

• Music content will only play in a fixed specific time window that you can customize (eg: from 2pm to 5pm) this is so that if you wish, you can read through books, comics or manga of your choice, though this won't change the amount of time you'll spend in there. When it comes to live shows you aren't forced to be watching, and you can read if you want. But this isn't the case for music videos, even life performance-esque music videos (like radiohead - creep), which you can't read through and aren't part of the fixed customizable schedule. When it comes to music there will be NO repeats. Meaning it doesn't matter if you have streamed the song thousands of times, you will only hear it only that one time. Music will merge with music videos if available, but this doesn't count for live performances which will be treated differently. If youre starting to run out of music or visual media, these schedules will be accomodated to fit, making it so that, if you're running out of any type of media, you might get music outside the regular fixed schedule to fill the space and vice-versa.

For media you have never finished watching , like for example, a 40 hour video essay that only watched 5 minutes of it, you will only have to re watch those 5 minutes. This goes for all forms of media, you only have to re-consume what you've consumed. No more, no less.

Any attempt of you escaping will result in frustration or simply execution. You can choose to get euthanized or simply die with the tools you have at disposal, like asking for a poor, but tasty diet that will slowly kill you for example!

How cooked are you? Or how comfortable are you? How long do you think it will take for you to get out? You think you could bear it? -> You can pick between taking your own life or someone else's. -> if you chose to pick to kill a loved one, you can pick it or you may ask for the pick to be at random

If you do not, you are sent to a hell like dimension after death for eternity.

Here are the details. You will be given a completely healthy but otherwise average body for whatever sex/gender you choose to be. But staying injury free at that point is on you. No illness or issues your body if you had any before. And your body is now completely average. Height, weight, ECT... So no huge downside but no help there. (maybe you can add a few inches up or down above average... but keep it within 1-2 of average. No being 7 feet and joining the NBA as a cheat code.

To be considered a success you must either win an Olympic medal. Make a pro team at the highest level for at least 1 year total. If an individual sport, you must finish top 10 in your weight class or sport at least once at the highest level (it can be less in a more competitive sport... but you need to be good enough to be clearly a good pro who can make a good living).

It must be a sport that is reasonably well known AKA, not made up and one you can make a living wage at and sponsorships I suppose can count.

What is your plan?

Edit: To be clear... what constitutes high level i want to leave a little vague. But i want it to be more than just being a pro. For instant getting a boxing license and being a pro boxer doing 4 rounders shouldn't count.

You have been contacted by a serial killer for a job offer. This particular serial-killer is a multi millionaire and he can set you up for the life.

Your job is to decide the target for your new Boss. That's it.

Boss likes the challenge. Tougher the task, more he enjoys it. More powerful the target more he will like it. He does not much care about the right and wrong but is smart enough to know that he can't just kill anyone at anytime. He is not trigger happy or loose canon. Act of killing is not important to him. It is managing to do it against all the odds.

You realize that your Boss is hyper competent. He has not failed any his kill yet. He is methodical about it and often makes his kills look like accidents.

So will you take this job?
Will you be able to make the nerve to decide the target knowing that you will be sending someone to early grave?

Conditions :
- Your Boss won't ever kill you so you don't have to live in fear of that (unless of course you decided to turn him to police). You will infact become BFFs after 10 successful hits.
- He will not kill anyone unless you decide for him.
- He requires at least one target in every 6 month from you.
- You must give him targets that are infact doable. It is expected that you do some initial research on the target before giving to Boss. It is not just about giving a name.

For those who don’t know how to play chess, your queen is generally your most powerful piece, and in most cases it’s advantageous if you have your queen and your opponent doesn’t. There are exceptions to this, but in this scenario you’re not in an exception to this, in terms of the game, as you can take their queen for free, and while you can’t yet see a sequence of moves that leads to checkmating your opponent you will most likely win soon after if you take your opponents queen.

Your opponent tells you that if you don’t take their queen then after the game they will give you $1,000,000,000, and they tell you that they have a bio weapon and if you take their queen then they will release the bio weapon upon the world and this bio weapon will completely wipe out humanity. If you try asking your opponent why you should believe them they say, “Trust me bro.”

Do you take your opponents queen because their claim seems unbelievable or not take it because you don’t want to risk having the bio weapon released and are hoping that they honor their promise of giving you the $1,000,000,000?

One of the guys says “Took you long enough!” Angry. “Come grab this end and tell us what to do with this piece of sh*t. I ain’t never had to disappear a body before. Tell us what you want us to do.”

What are you gonna do?

like its not real but it will feel like real life. but its just a simulation

There are three buttons, the moment you touch one, the other two become inoperable.

Upon use, a metal floor will appear, allowing the chosen to go free, the other two will roast alive (they are over a pit of fire)

Man 1: carries with him an endless water bottle, always stays cold, can contain anything you currently need or desire to drink. Mimics the taste, carbs and flavor. One drink can stop dehydration, two drinks can sate hungry bellies.

Man 2: carries a laptop with a word processor that can rewrite reality. You can stop, remove, edit or rewrite portions of your life or someone else's life. Never runs out of battery. Immediately stops working if written in such a way as to commit evil (rewrite world war II so that the Nazis won, creating a racist friendly state etc) or desire to bring it about (for instance, if your grandpa was part of the SS and you want him revived, it will stop working permanently. The computer will go up in a mushroom cloud and take you with it if anything involving children is written for malicious intent. Automatically go to hell, do not collect $200.

Man 3: a purse with infinite space, that always contains what you need immediately and cannot be stolen (vanishes upon being stolen), sold ( can't be captured on camera, invisible to all scanning technology and is illegal to sell on eBay or Amazon) or destroyed (made out of mithril leather)

Who do you save and why

Clarification: using the laptop counts as a loophole.

Imagine discovering a sealed, handwritten letter addressed to you hidden in an old book left behind by a close friend who recently passed away. The letter promises to reveal a secret truth about your friendship and your past that could change everything you believed about that person and your relationship.

You have two options:

Option 1: Open the Letter (Truth)If you open the letter, you will learn the complete truth about a secret your friend had been hiding—something that could explain many strange behaviors or unresolved tensions you’ve sensed over the years. However, the content might be deeply painful or disillusioning, shaking the foundation of your memories and comfort with that friendship. It could bring emotional turmoil but also clarity and closure.

Option 2: Leave the Letter Unopened (Comfort)By choosing not to open the letter, you preserve the warm, comforting memories you hold of your friend. You avoid any potential heartbreak or betrayal that could come with the truth. Life continues unchanged, but there will always be a small nagging mystery, an unanswered question about what that letter contained.

You are presented this deal. You get to choose one of several things that will cost at most $250. Things can still be less, but if you go to buy or pay for something, you have a special discount that will be applied so the price is $250. The catch is, if you buy something that costs way more, you cannot resell it. It is for your use only or for your immediate family, but they cannot own it. Here are the choices:

Medical care. Your current insurance, if you have it, is still in place. But if you develop cancer, or something else serious, all of the treatment for it would cost no more than $250. If you need long term care, $250. If you need a really expensive medication for a long period of time, $250. If you need extensive rehab, $250. This extends to your immediate family, children, spouse, parents.

Traveling. You can fly anywhere you want, or travel any way you want, and it will cost $250. First class ticket to Dubai? $250. However, this applies to just your travel. Your hotel, activities, food, etc are not part of this. But your travel from point A to point B is not going to cost more than $250.

Vacation. Just the reverse of above. Anywhere you travel to, your accomodations cannot cost more than $250. That doesn't mean you can be permanently on vacation. It is reasonable and the entity granting this will know what is and isn't reasonable. Luxury 5 star hotel? $250 total. This also applies to any Airbnb or anything like that. This doesn't count towards other costs of your vacation. If there are things included with your stay, like if it's all inclusive, that's fine.

Car. You can purchase any car you like and it will cost no more than $250. If you are married or something, you can gift one car to your spouse or SO. However you cannot own more than one car at a time. You cannot resell it or gift it to anyone but your SO. You are responsible for all gas, insurance, repairs, etc. If you want to get a new car, you have to wait 6 months before you can. Same rules apply for your SO, but you have to do it, they can't go buy it. If it breaks down in those 6 months, you have to pay for repairs.

Food. Any restaurant, grocery store, etc. You can go to the nicest, fanciest most exclusive restaurants, and your check will never exceed $250. You cannot host more than 3 other people. You have to pay and cannot accept money from your party of up to 3. It has to come from you. If you go to the grocery store, you can buy anything you want, but pay no more than $250. You can't resell anything you buy though. Or accept compensation in any other way.

This choice lasts for life and you get one chance at it. You cannot use your discount to profit or anyone close to you in any way. There's no loophole that allows you to. What is your choice?

like if you only had 1 chance to use it on someone

best person is pretty subjective, but in my mind since its such a rare thing to revive someone there must be a "best person" to use it on

Let’s say you’re on a walk and you’re by yourself.

Doesn’t really matter the point is in that moment you were the only person aware of this situation.

Don’t answer reflexively and really think about it.

What are the options here?

1) you walk away.

2) you try to help it.

3) you capture it.

4) you kill it.

Pretty straightforward, yeah?

Now let’s expand on this.

What is the nature of the alien?

For the sake of conversation let’s say it’s one of those big headed gray aliens.

So it’s not an animal and it’s probably way smarter than you.

Now you have to ask yourself exactly what the nature of it being there is.

I’ll do you a little service and tell you right now it’s not there to conquer the world. If a species can travel the universe I promise you annihilation or invasion is out of a question. If they wanted to do that they would do that and we would be powerless.

Some more than likely it would either be a tourist or a zoologist.

And think about that for a second.

If they don’t want to be found out and you’ve literally done just that then where does that leave you if you help it get back to it people?

Seems likely they would kill you if you got it back to its people. Or at least neutralize that threat, whatever that might be.

So walking away is not the worst choice.

If you choose to help it does that mean you call 911 or do you try to communicate with it to figure out how to get it back to its people?

If you do call 911 consider the ramifications of all that entails.

The government might not take kindly on you knowing something you’re not supposed to.

If you detain it you could be starting a literal intergalactic media shit storm.

If you kill it, they might come back for you.

Really truly consider all the ramifications of the situation.

What would you do and why?

• You would still have to go about your normal life, you can’t lock yourself inside all day.
• You cannot take a shower or bath of any kind, this also includes using baby wipes to wipe your yourself.
• You cannot use environmental substitutes such as washing yourself with the rain.

Once you accept this challenge, it starts the next day, and when you quit the money immediately gets transferred to your bank.

You will receive either $1000 a week or the amount of money you’re currently making per week, whichever is more.

But for 365 days you are kept in a literal Skinner box.

And what you are conditioned to do is entirely up to you at the beginning.

Learn a skill, become fit, write a book, learn a musical instrument, whatever.

It’s 100% up to you.

They will provide whatever resources you need to accomplish your goals, and will hire whoever you need to make sure you succeed.

When you go in that box, they will control your diet, your routines, and anything else they need to do to make sure you accomplish it.

You are given whatever rewards and punishments that are necessary but never cause any permanent harm.

And you may not opt out until the task is complete or the year is up.

This does not necessarily mean solitary confinement, as interactions with others could be one of your rewards.

What do you do it?

That’s it, 2 billion for eating the whole apple. You gain all knowledge and truth. Your only risks is insanity because everyone around you appear “dumb.” And your stuck in 2025 where we are pre Idiocracy(movie)

You need to commit a small crime like jaywalking first. Batman will give you the worst beating of your life. You'll be in a coma for one month, then spend 10 years slowly recovering from severe injuries and brain damage.

During recovery, you'll be paralyzed but gradually regain the ability to walk. After 10 years, you'll be completely healed and magically become 18 years old again with a perfect healthy healed body. A billionaire of the name Bruce Wayne will pay all your medical bills and give you $250 million. (This is an offer you can refuse)

Batman would become real and all of DC basically if you accept this deal.
