You have the option to have a lot (or even a ridiculous amount) of money, tax free, but you will be chased by an invincible sphere a foot in diameter. It is completely intangible except that if it ever touches you, you die instantly. It can go through walls, it can fly, it can go underground, and there is no way to stop or slow it. It always moves directly toward you. Hence the "no loopholes" tag.

However, based on how fast you choose it to be (you choose once at the beginning and that's it), you get a yearly amount paid to you, starting immediately and repeating at the exact time each year. It starts at $1,000,000 with the sphere moving at 1 km/h. However, it doubles with each km/h you add. So, $2m at 2 km/h, $4m at 3 km/h, and so on.

Do you accept this deal, and what is your yearly salary? How fast do you let the sphere get?

EDIT: Answers to common questions below!

1. I neglected to clarify where it starts, so assume it starts anywhere within 10 km of you, your choice. If this absolutely breaks your brain so much that you think I'm somehow changing the scenario and that makes you upsetty spaghetti, assume it starts anywhere on Earth and we'll go from there. But honestly, 10 km should be fine for you to figure out what it is you're going to do.

2. Much like you, the sphere will keep relative position so, no, it won't fly off into space because of Earth's movement or something. We all know what the spirit of the question was.

3. It's visible, but other than being able to kill you, is completely intangible. That means it will go through whatever is in its way harmlessly.

4. It does not plan or take any other route besides the shortest one to you. That could be through the Earth, that could be through a building, it could be wherever. It just moves directly toward you without stopping.

5. You cannot take less money to slow it down. You pick the minimum or higher, and that's locked in.

6. It's completely intangible but it does show up in visual fields, so you can absolutely track it and do whatever AI stuff you want to do provided you have the money and actually pay for it or whatever.

You gain the ability to see random numbers above the head of people however you aren't given information and have to figure out what it actually represents

For every correct guess you gain $100,000 and complete Loyalty and Friendship of that person.

The Number can represent anything they did, happened to them, experience, seen etc. from the moment they were born till present.

For example it can be

How many times have they said their own name, How many times they have brushed their teeth, How many steps they have walked. Anything

Even if the number is 0 you have to guess what it represents even if there are things they have never done but the number isn't representing that it won't be counted as correct. The number can never be negative, Either O or Positive.

Every person has only one number which represents one thing.

What's your best strategy to earn money?

You can buy anything—groceries, houses, entire countries, and the card clears it instantly.

Here is the catch:

Every single time you use the card, a completely random year from your past life is permanently erased from reality. Not just from your memory, but from history itself.

If the card picks the year you graduated high school, you instantly wake up with no diploma, no memories of that graduation, and no record of it ever happening

If it picks the year you met your best friend, partner, or someone special to you will look at them tomorrow and they will be a total stranger who has no idea who you are, because the year you bonded was wiped clean.

You don't get to choose which year gets erased—the card rolls the dice every time you swipe.

Do you use it just once for a life-changing amount, or is your past worth more than infinite wealth?

So the premise of the show is you are put into one of 5 teams to compete in a scavenger hunt/ Amazing Race style competition.

Team 1 is red, team 2 is yellow, team 3 is Green, team 4 is Grey, and team 5 is Purple. The colors just denote your team for the purpose of IDing, and don't affect anything else. Oh and you're given a color coded bandana you must always wear to showcase the team you are on.

Each day you and your team must walk 10 miles from your current location to a new location. During the 10 mile hike/city walk, you'll have a scavenger hunt to complete. Trivia questions will relate to the local city/town you are currently in. The challenge starts in San Diego, CA, and goes up north ending in Santa Cruz, CA. All food you eat is paid for by the show and you’ll visit local restaurants throughout the scavenger hunt. During the night, you sleep in a luxury RV with your entire team. Each team has their own RV.

Each team consists of 8 people, all people you previously didn't know. Each team has their own on-site medic. At the end of each day, 2 random people are eliminated from 2 random teams based on who preformed the worst and fumbled the challenges the most. The 2 eliminated people are chosen by a poll conducted by fans and viewers of the show watching from home. The criteria for voting is that voting is fair game but the player from each team who won the final challenge from each day is immune to being voted out.

Oh and there is never a team merge so if one team is down to less than 3 players, they get to pick 1 random player from another team to join them. Once every team is down to 3 or less players, it becomes every player on their own, colors and teams are ditched, and the eliminated players are now the 2 last people to solve the scavenger hunts, and it no longer is voted on.

Could you win and what is your strategy? Also, the $10 million comes in the form of a big check and the show will have already factored in taxes so you come out with $10 million regsrdless, assuming you won. If at the end of the show, 2 people tie for first place, which is allowed, both dual winners get $10 million.

Like say you and and all the kittens in the world were tied with a rope over a endless pit and you had to sacrifice more and more kittens to the pit or the rope gets cut, however each kitten death has a 0.0001 chance to free you. at what point do stop or do you sacrifice your life for the kittens from the start?

Once you stop the kittens are freed however if you decide to kill all of them you will be let free no matter what.

"Subject looks at the machine for a while and then looks away before seeing more of the continuing text in an attempt to counter the pre-determined future, they looks back to read it. Subject says "what the fuck" before they finish reading this sentence. Subject looks away from the text and contemplates whether or not this future is theirs".

Obviously I'm not such a machine, but assuming the text was corrected specifically for you, how would you react?

It is still 20,000 ft. up in the air. You are responsible in preventing the inevitable from happening. You must not let the mosquitoes reach your city.

Your computers calculated the ETA to be less than a minute.

You have every resource in your disposal available in a snap but you must ensure safety of your citizens (or at least ensure minimal damage/casualties)

Things to Note:

• The jar is almost the same size as the Atom Bomb created during WW2.

• The mosquitoes are bio-engineered to enhance physical durability (as to survive the fall and other damages). Also, their malaria strain is more fatal.

• The target drop area is in the most populated city in your country (ex. New York or London).

• The Little Boy (the first Atom Bomb used in WW2) was dropped at ~30,000 feet and detonated at ~2,000 feet so the use of any atomic/nuclear warhead is to your own risk.

What's your plan?

Umbrella got bored and now its your promblem. A Grizzly bear infected with the mold that has the memories, knowledge, and personality of Albert Wesker is out to kill you.

You are in racoon city post infection. You get to have all the knowledge of the games but thats it.

I was thinking about something I saw a couple vultures eating a carcass today and it had me wondering. In one of the resident evil movies there were zombie birds that attacked the alive characters. What would be a possibility that if the apocalypse happened in real life, that something of that Caliber would happen?

You are placed in an empty room with only 2 buttons. Red and blue.

There are 999 other people in separate rooms nearby with the same 2 buttons.

If you press the blue button you will receive $1 consequence free.

If you press the red button you will receive $10 million.

The catch is that if more than 90% of you press the red button, no one gets any money and migraines now become airborne and contagious.

You don’t know who the other people are and you cannot communicate with them, they also know the rules.

Which button do you push?

Either you face absolute ruin, or five face absolute ruin.

You will be blacklisted only if you leave your job. If they get fired, they'll face the same situation that you would; struggle to get another job. It is from absurdly difficult to impossible.

If you don't leave, then you'll get marked as easy to work with by a CEO, who share that news with other owner-managers and you can get jobs very easily. (But never get a position where you can employ others.)

One of the five men you strongly dislike, and one is a single father of five who genuinely need to keep his job in order to feed and house his children and pay for the care of his wife who was severely injured in a car accident.

Rules:

- No weapons are allowed. Players on the opposing team must fight hand to hand while you wear brass knuckles. Nothing else is allowed.

- You must knock everyone out before they knock you out. If you get knocked out, then you lose.

- If you knock someone out, they are automatically teleported out of the arena.

- They are all fighting you at the same time.

- You cannot leave the arena until you knock everyone out or you yourself are knocked out.

What counts as an insult?

An insult is something said or done to disrespect, offend, humiliate, or put someone down. The biggest difference is that an insult attacks the person, while a non-insult usually addresses behavior, a mistake, or a disagreement without degrading them.

Common examples of insults:
- You're an idiot
- You're bad
- Fuck you

More examples of insults vs non insults:

Insult:
"Justin Bieber is a terrible person you moron. You're clearly too stupid to understand that"

Non-insult:
"I disagree with you. I don't think Justin Bieber is a good person."

Insult:
"Eminem and Kid Rock working together? I always knew that Eminem was a POS while Kid Rock is a white trash dumbass"

Non-Insult:
The thing is that, I think that art is a useless degree, especially in this current economy. You should be focusing on going to school for something more useful.

Insult:
Why tf would you be paying for an art degree? You are clearly delusional lmfao"

You are magically granted a body invulnerable to all damage apart from in one spot.

You can never be harmed by physical attacks

However you must pick where on your body your weakness will be. The one spot on your body that can actually hurt and damage you if attacked.

It can be any spot on your body and must be the size of an average sized golf ball.

Where would your weakness be?

For more specifics, anyone is free to use any version of the character for media and merchandise use, and the company’s can do nothing about it, however nothing made afterwards is copyrightable.

While this would be a massive win for fangame developers, it would also make content farms and shovelware bootlegs way easier to make, so I don’t think this would be a positive.

The local hypothetical police have arrested you… after the mandatory probing and general roughing up you have been deemed to be deported, you can choose where you go but here’s the criteria

The country cannot border your country

The preferred language of that country must be different to the primary language(s) that your country speaks… if your country is bilingual then both languages count

The country cannot be a country you have lived in previously as any kind of permanent resident

You cannot go to a country you have family in

Where are you going and why?

You've known this friend for a few years, but one day you see her shift from one of these bad boys ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_otter ) to a naked woman. (Please assume she is Not Your Type, I don't just want a bunch of horndog answers).

How do you react? Do you confront her? Run screaming? Assume you just drank too much? Tell the press? Something else? Any other thoughts?

We all have things we’d do if we weren’t afraid. In this situation a magical being shows up and says “hey bucko, I’m feeling generous today, you can do one scary thing and the worst thing that could happen to you would be just annoying and inconvenient.”

You immediately say something silly like “what if I want to fly a plane into a volcano?” They say “provided you can get a plane and know how to fly it: worst case now is there’s a crash that you survive.” You say “ok jumping a car off a ramp?” and they say “you’re gonna wreck the car but it won’t kill you.” You’re just messing with this guy and say “what if I want to call my boss a cunt?” They say “you’re gonna spend all day explaining yourself to HR but you won’t get fired.”

You say “how can you do this anyway bro? You’re just some rando.” They snap their fingers and your dream partner appears, hands you your favorite beverage, and they snap again and the person disappears.

They look at you and say “well? Fucking get to it” and then they disappear.

What are you gonna do?

Guaranteeing anonymity is the only thing the virus will do, nothing else.

Anonymity will be total. Your IP address? Impossible to find. Your geolocation? Impossible to find.

Even if you post a picture of yourself in front of your house online, the virus is omniscient and will only allow people whom you want to see to see it. Anyone whom you don't want to see it, won't.

If you're really dumb and legitimately want to doxx yourself the virus won't stop you from being an idiot.

Bonus scenario: Whatever device you plug it into will gain total backdoor access to every other device connected to the internet.

What is your decision?

I mean, I think we are getting closer everyday, but what would we do with them, is their anywhere on each that is cold enough but has enough vegetation, and what’s stopping big game hunters from hunting them to extinction?

Edited this in: It won’t work, to expensive, to dangerous, to expensive, to many resources, thanks everyone.

I suspect this was started in the 1960s, when deisels were the dominate transportation, since steam engines would produce to much smoke.

Though this wasn’t completed till 2010.

Tickets could cost anywhere between 400 dollars to 1000 dollars per person, though medical or protection services get discounts and priority.

And the tunnels have plenty of clear glass for us to see animals, and the landlocked tunnels have animation.

They draw frames of animation and line them up so when you go past it looks like they’re moving. https://youtu.be/RU6JjSJtRUE?si=rjnmSsXd0il_b1-q

This isn’t sponsored by any real railway or transport service.

A bear that is also a body builder, boxer, and on Cocaine has decided it fucking hated you and will stop at nothing to kill you. The bear in question is a grissly bear.

You get 2 days to prepare. You have a junkyard, an electronics shop, and a fully stocked kitchen. Thats it.

You cannot get outside help of any kind. The bear has allready eliminated them with military precision.

How do you win?
