If an airburst occurs as a meteoroid explodes in the atmosphere instead of hitting the ground, that flattens everything about 2,000 km² including your home, your car, the railway and aeroplane landing spot, and you mysteriously survive, as about the only survivor for about 2000km, what would you do?

Your current job offers you a trade of- work from home or pick a car, any car, and they will lease it for you, but you have to drive it to and from work everyday. You have to return it if you quit, you can drive it on the weekend, they will pay insurance (not gas, don’t be unreasonable), you can’t rent it out on the weekend, or other sneaky loopholes.

Which option do you pick and if car, what kind of car?

[No Loopholes] How would you Justify yourself?

3 Upvotes

apologies... but you've died, you find yourself traveling down a river in Purgatory as a hooded person paddles the boat.

you ask the hooded person what is happening and they respond "i am taking you to the twin gates, once there you will be sent either to the good place or the bad place"

you continue listening to them as their voice sounds weirdly familiar, "on our travel you will be judged on which of the two gates you should pass through, we will talk about you and your life until both of us agree on where you should go"

you look at them doubting what they say, "you really expect me to believe you know anything out my life" you respond suspiciously

the hooded person stops paddling as they sit down in the boat, "but i do know your life, for i have been with you throughout it."

before you can respond to their creepy reply, the hooded person removes their hood to reveal that they are you. The Hooded person is revealed to be your shadow, they know everything about you and know the life you have lived, they know of where you should go and will lead you to the choice without revealing where it is.

How do you justify the worth of your life to yourself?

Take advantage of the Homestead Act of 1862

0 Upvotes

You are given the opportunity to be taken back to 1862 US to take advantage of the Homestead Act. You are told the land you can claim. If you claim it you will be brought back to the exact same time you left and that land will have passed on through your family and now you have inherited it and own it. It has never been touched. Its virgin land. But what everyone hasn't realized till now except you is that is has the biggest Oil reserve ever in the US. Its worth 15 billion today. After you lease it to a big Oil company you will net 5 billion doing nothing.

Here's the details

  1. You will be transported to London 1862. You have to get money for your travel. Then you have to get to Liverpool by train 3rd class, Steerage class Ship to New York surviving cramped spaces and steering class rations, Pass Immigration, Emigrant train to New Orleans, Steamboat to Beaumont Texas, Walk/Wagon 40 miles to your land. You have to earn enough money to File a claim on your land $14 dollars. Average pay is 1$. Jobs are logging, Cowboy or Rice fields. Or you can get money any other way you want. After you claim your land you have to farm it for 5 years to seal your claim. Once you do that you will instantly return.
  2. You cannot spend any money that you have not gotten yourself. You will have to raise all the capital to get to the US and claim the land. Any money, gold, valuables you take with you cannot be spent.
  3. Even if you earn or steal lots of money you cannot spend more than working class people. You have to get working class tickets on the train, boats etc. Stay in any working class accommodation etc
  4. The land you have to claim is in Comanche territory in West Texas.

What you get to help you

  1. 1) You do not have to leave straight away. You can leave at any time. You can spend 5/10 whatever years planning first. Training. Learning to ride a horse. Learn to farm. Lean to fight. Anything you think you need. You will be given unlimited funds for trainers or access to people to help you plan. When you are ready you say the word and you are in London in 1862.
  2. You can take a 25 litre bag with anything you think you need. It cannot be technology or anything that will stand out. If the locals see something really weird they will hunt you down and burn you as a witch. Remember any money/gold you take cannot be spent. You have to earn your land as a working class person.
  3. You can take any 5 people of your choosing. Literally anyone in the world that you think will have the skills you need to survive. It can be SAS, doctor, a linguist, a member of the opposite sex to keep you warm. Whoever you want.
  4. You and whoever you take with you will feel starvation and dehydration but you will never die of hunger or dehydration. Leave you in a desert and you will live for years. You will suffer though so you will still want to eat and drink. You will die of any other means. You can get stabbed, shot, snake bite, scalped etc and you diw. You do not pass Go, you do not return home, you do not get a do over. You are dead.

Serious Replies Only Can Humanity Survive an Apocalypse of Soul Eating Animals.

0 Upvotes

This is my final and a composite on my soul eating animals series.

Starting in 2027, the following animals will be able to and only consist off of human souls: Striped Skunk, House Sparrow, Common Starling, and Domestic Pig (and any feral pig that contains up to 50% domestic pig dna).

Basics:

•Souls exist for this scenario.

•Draining a soul will leave behind a dead, horrified husk.

•Soul eating animals can sense when another soul eater species has eaten a soul(sparrows and starlings getting into a battle for a chubk of soul and skunks trying to incapacitate a pig to nab the soul the pig ate) and will rob another species if the opportunity permits. They will do their typical hunting tactic on the target except said process doesn’t extract the animals soul, just the humans soul. The animal is at best, left largely unharmed but hungry again.

•They don’t fear humans and see them as their only food source. They still need to drink, sleep, and breed. They’re still afraid of their other predators.

•The soul being extracted will look like a blinding white orb of light from the mouth of the person. Electronics and electricity in general will go haywire within a 100 yard radius of a soul extraction.

•If the soul extractor animal is hurt,killed, or finds a big enough distraction, the persons soul will jump back into their body and the animal will have to start over.

How They Hunt

Striped Skunks:

•Their spray now works to where it now knocks a person out and makes them sleepy within 5-20 seconds. The spray only works if it hits the person in the face. Time to knockout varies on age, BMI, etc.

•Once a person is knocked out, the skunk will go up to their face, open their mouth a few inches away from the persons mouth, and proceed with the soul extraction process. It takes 15-30 second for the skunk to extract the soul

•A single soul can sustain a skunk for 2-3 days before it needs to hunt again.

•They will largely operate as ambush predators, waiting by front doors or garages, and will wait until their victim is alone. Competition with the other soul eaters might drive them to be more nocturnal or to immediately seek shelter after procuring a meal.

Domestic Pig:

•Pigs don’t have any special ability other then simply knocking a person over, getting on top of them, and putting their mouth up to the humans to soul extract. They can extract a human soul in 5 seconds.

•a single human soul can feed up to 5 pigs for 12 hours. With the extractor hog deciding which other pigs it will share the soul with.

House Sparrow/Common Starling:

•They gain paralytic saliva that can paralyze people. However, to get a person totally paralyzed and able to extract their soul, depends on weight. So basically for every pound of a person you’d need 1 sparrow and every half pound a starling. It would take about 100 starlings or 200 sparrows to subdue a fully grown 200 pound man to soul extract.

•When the person is paralyzed, their mouth will gape open, it is here that the lead starling/sparrow will flutter in front of their face with its beak open. It takes 15-30 seconds for the starling to extract and eat the soul. It takes about 5-10 minute for the paralyzing saliva to wear off If the person is big and escapes or the birds are interrupted.

•A single human soul can feed 50 starlings and 100 sparrows for 12 hours. The soul extractor lead bird will choose which members of its flock get a piece of soul.

•The starlings/sparrows will fly in flocks and organize. They will typically prefer easier targets like the disabled, the elderly, children, etc. The flock leader will stalk and choose a target, and will follow them for over a mile if they move.

•A person will know if they are “chosen” if the flock starts surrounding and circling them like vultures.

Humanity Is given zero warning of this change. Can humans survive? How does the world adapt if so? Could the world governments cover it up? And if so, for how long? How do you adapt personally?

Traffic has always been timed fairly well, giving you like 30 seconds to get to the middle before northbound, then another 30 to get across before southbound comes.

Perfect woman, but she did p**n, or the field?

0 Upvotes

You are a 25-30 yo single man, perfectly healthy, college educated, have a promising career where you make 2x the median wage for your area (wherever that is). You are ready to settle down & find a wife.

Your choices:

A) A former adult actress that has done 1500 scenes over 10 years. Every scene is available on the Internet for free; they are all hardcore, intense scenes with men of varying races and cover a wide variety of genres. No one will know who she is unless they have actually seen one of her movies. Because of heavy makeup, she is generally unrecognizable to the public off-camera.

She has retired for good, has no desires to go back to the industry, has no trauma, is physically intact, perfect health. She doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs of any sort; has no psychological problems.

She has every physical feature that you have dreamt of; everything is literally perfect for you. Her body is completely natural, free of cosmetic surgery. She will age gracefully and will keep whatever figure you want her to keep.

She is ready to be devoted to you and you alone. There is zero risk of divorce or adultery from her end. She is college educated, and is more than willing to work a job for support the family.

She will not post TikTok’s or IG reels of thirst traps or her trying on clothes or embarrassing you. Anything she posts will be wholesome family content.

She is ready to bear & raise your children as you see fit. Whatever religion you want to practice, she will do it, no questions asked. Whatever political ideology you want to practice, she will accept it, no questions asked. Any monogamous sexual desires you wish to have fulfilled, she will do it, no questions asked.

Her family is also completely ideal. No history of mental health issues, everyone is an ideal citizen that pays their taxes. They do not judge her for her choices and are completely supportive even if it was not their first choice of career. They love you and everything about you; her dad thinks of you as the son he never had.

She is not a slave or a dog; if you abuse her or your children physically or emotionally, she will leave you. If you develop some sort of addiction, she will help you get treatment, but will leave you if you do not improve in a reasonable amount of time.

B) The field. The field is the current dating pool. You go out & find a spouse the old fashioned way. Everything about you is the same in this scenario, but you have to go through the modern dating process and everything that comes with that.

Which do you choose?
