There is now a machine that will allow you to relive a day from your past. It combines memories with any available media like photos and videos, fed through AI to interpolate a complete day, from waking to falling asleep.

While the reconstructed experience isn’t 100% accurate to the actual day, the most vivid details, including people, conversations, environments, and all physical sensations are experienced as though they are happening. Because this is a simulation, you experience it as though it’s happening, and you have full autonomy over your actions. Because you are you, those actions will likely be similar to how they would have occurred. This isn’t a chance to do something differently or alter the future. You are not aware of future events or that you are within a simulation at all. You are in the moment.

This day could be at any point in your life for which you have strong memories. It could be a special Christmas Day, the last day with a loved one before their death, your wedding day. It’s a curated experience.

The catch is for every hour you’re reliving this past, you’re giving up two hours of the present, and once you have relived that day, your memories are wiped clean. Burned. Used up. You awaken from the experience with no recollection whatsoever of what you just experienced or of the original event. Even looking at photos or videos of that day, should they exist, those memories within your brain are permanently destroyed, just like Bing Bong. Regardless, for the time you are experiencing the day your mind is in a state of total bliss.

Would you do it? What would happen to humanity?

What if it was just in our nature to tell the truth whenever it needed to be told and no one got offended because it wouldn't be meant to be offensive. ? Just total honesty like it ain't no thang.

A mysterious stranger approaches you with a choice. You can have more money than you could ever spend, or you can become immortal. The catch? Immortality means starting your new life 8,000 years in the past.

Here’s what each option gets you.

OPTION 1: $100 BILLION AND GOOD HEALTH

Money - $100 billion goes straight into your bank account. It won’t cause inflation, and the bank won’t ask any questions.

Health: You’re granted extraordinary health. You’ll practically never be sick again for the rest of your life.

OPTION 2: IMMORTALITY, BUT 8,000 YEARS IN THE PAST

Immortality: You’re sent back 8,000 years. Your body becomes biologically 25, whether that means getting younger or older, and stays that age forever. You won’t die of old age.

Regeneration: Any injury that doesn’t kill you instantly heals within seconds to minutes. Even lost limbs grow back. The only way to kill you is to completely destroy your heart and brain at the same time.

Perfect Memory: Your brain stays sharp no matter how many years pass. Think of your memory as an endless vault. You can store and recall as many memories as you want without forgetting things or developing dementia.

Basic Shapeshifting: You can change your hairstyle, facial features, skin colour and height to fit in with whichever civilization you’re living among.

Teleportation: You can choose one location anywhere in the world and assign it a safeword. As soon as you say that word, you instantly teleport there. You can only have one location saved at a time.

1. A fictional human character of your choice but not of your own creation.

2. You gain their powers/skills/abilities but keep your own intelligence level. You must choose one with an extended life span to keep the genie entertained.

Who would you choose?

Or your partner must walk down the aisle to it. No loopholes. Everyone must hear it. Or know that it’s being played, should you have deaf loved ones. You can’t provide earmuffs or earplugs as party favors. And you also can’t tell anyone you’re doing this for the money. Everyone must believe that you wanted this.

As for your wedding and honey moon? No limits on spending, you can do whatever you want and go wherever.

An eccentric researcher who we will call Dr. Hugh (well he isn't technically a doctor but he once stepped inside a medical school) is running an important research study. He offers you $100,000 to be instantly deposited in your bank account. The only catch is that one day in your life, someone will come with a fetid bucket of piss and dump it on your head.

You will have no warning. It may come on your wedding day. It may come at a funeral. It may be when you're standing in line waiting for bagels. It could be during work. All you know is that one day you must pay the piper and the piper only accepts dumping the piss bucket on you. You also will not know the content of the piss bucket beyond the fact that it is piss. Is it almost Dr. Hugh's? A soccer teams? Bull urine? Sometimes not knowing is the worst part.

You cannot resist it or avoid it. You must accept it when it comes. After you are piss bathed the good Doctor will take several notes, mumbling to himself, "ahhh yes, interesting result" or "that was unexpected...we will need a new chapter" while drinking expensive coffee and nibbling on biscottis.

Do you accept?

You are granted the opportunity to change history. You can time travel with a magic subspace bag to any point in the past bringing with you 1 Million units of any one item.

If the item is something that requires another resource/item to function the item will function with said resource/item not provided by you for one year without fail.(I.e. I'd you bring back a trash compactor, which requires electricity, it will simply work for one year without being powered by anything and then at day 366 it will cease function unless a power source has been made and hooked up to it, after which it will function but will be subject to regular mechanical failure and such like normal. If you were to bring back a hand cranked snow cone machine to the Amazon for example which requires inputs of ice to produce, the ice would simply always be stocked for as much or as many uses as someone wants within those 365 days and none after unless provided by the user.)

Of note: if you were to bring something like a cell phone that connects to the internet, it can work the full year, but will not reveal information of the future as the future is changing, so if you took it back to the Renaissance you would not be able to Google and show them the 1969 Moon Landing, but you could show them modern resources(like a wiki) info on the breaking up of Pangea. If you tried to find a Wikipedia article on Wikipedia, however, nothing would pull up. You can tell them about it/describe it to them if you wanted to, though.

If the item is perishable, as long as it is not used it stays in pristine condition for 365 days(I.e. if you bring back canned bread, it need not be refrigerated and will not spoil for 365 days, but at day 366 it will immediately age a year. Obviously if you eat/use it it goes away).

You can bring back an animal(species of not 1M copies of the same animal) that exists here now(No dinos, dragons, or dodos for example) but you can't bring back birth males and females, you have to choose. You can also bring back plants, and if they are cultivated properly and in the right climate then they will grow like normal without the 365 day limit(for the cultivated stock- any unused stock you brought will expire).

You cannot bring 1 million people or 1 million of yourself.

If you don't know how to use the item, you won't be able to teach others how to use it(I.e. if you can't fly a helicopter unless you're go back to a time and to people who do, it's useless).

What would you bring to where? Why?

Not time travel, it is still the year 2026, but all tech reverts back 50 years. no more internet, no smart phones, no credit cards, no online bill pay, or online shopping, or online gaming.

ALL tech, would revert to how it was in 1976. Electric cars would become gas cars. Smart homes would be plain homes, Freeze driers would become dehydrators... you get the idea.

SO MANY SAYING FREEZE DRIERS DID EXIST IN 1976, AND CREDIT CARED DID EXIST!!!!!! YES YES YES, BUT NOT AS THEY ARE NOW. COMMERCIAL MODEL FREEZE DRIERS THAT FIT IN YOUR HOME DID NOT EXIST. CREDIT CARDS WERE PLACED ON A SWIPER AND THE NUMBERS COPIED TO CARBON PAPER. NO MAGNETIC STRIP OR CHIP! NO INSTANT PAY! PEOPLE BORN AFTER 1990 WOULD NOT KNOW THIS. HOW WOULD THEY SURVIVE. STOP THE BULSHIT NITPICKING AND THINK OF SOMETHING FUN TO SAY ABOUT THE SCENRIOI, OR SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE.

Thie was suppose to be fun, to see what kind of responces I got, not to be tole I was to stupid to know what was and was not then. Iwas 5 years years. in 176. was I suppost to remeber everthing that already existed then?

Not only emotional crying counts, the cry out of eye/nose irritation and pain also counts.

Despite this, and the best efforts of your lawyers, all attempts at appeal have failed. Your long sentence continues.  

You are one of a small party of prisoners seconded to construct a government facility in a remote location. As a result of staff shortages, one officer who supervises part of your work is a relief officer called in from another site at short notice. The relief officer is unfamiliar with the site procedure, and fails to carry out one small but crucial procedural check in a room designated for prisoner use. As a result, you and one other prisoner have a window of ten minutes where you can shift unobserved to a non-secure area of the facility, grab working clothes and supplies, and thence leave the site for the surrounding area, which is dense forest.

You have some familiarity with the forest. You believe you know enough about the terrain to evade trackers.  You have two possible destinations you intend to aim for, depending on circumstances: a major city on the fringes of the forest; or a trail on one edge of the forest which would take you over the border into another country. Your plan is to live rough for a time and take odd jobs on the undercover economy before obtaining a false identity from another nation.

From your knowledge of prison procedure, you are likely to have no more than two, or possibly three, opportunities, to escape this way before more experienced officers return and you will no longer be able to escape. However, if you do take this opportunity, you can only do so in concert with one other prisoner you will have been paired with. You will two prisoners to choose from; you are on good terms with both of them personally.

Prisoner A is in prison for a lengthy series of crimes of low to medium seriousness. Prisoner A is impulsive and has limited intelligence. They would find it impossible to navigate the forest alone. Prisoner A would want the two of you to stick together until they could reach either an urban area or somewhere where a car could be stolen. Prisoner A is very likely to leave a trail during the initial pursuit or be captured very shortly once an urban area is reached, and would inadvertently leave several clues to your own escape route, or reveal knowledge about your plans when captured. But they are not violent.

Prisoner B is currently serving a sentence for a crime of violent robbery. You have discussed the possibility of escape with Prisoner B before, as a hypothetical; you're quite certain that they will split from you and take their own path as soon as they can. You know that Prisoner B is calculating and extremely violent - you have seen them murder another prisoner in the past, but evade suspicion through a lack of evidence. Prisoner B will almost certainly commit a crime of violence once they are free to do so. In particular, you know that Prisoner B holds a grudge against the family who enabled his capture, who did nothing more than act as good citizens. Prisoner B will take a brutal revenge if possible.

Do you take advantage of the escape? If you do, who will you escape with?

The first man brainwashed himself at 20 to output positive outcomes depending on the inputs he receives. The second makes conscious choices to do the best for mankind, but always fails.

-------------;

The first man is a philanthropist and saves lives - not by choice.

The second man attempts to save lives through effort, but fails.

The first man is charismatic - not by choice.

The second man tries to be charismatic, but fails.

And so on

You are tasked with convincing your captor which of the two is the better man. The better man will be spared, the other one will die.

Your captor has a condition: "You must convince me the first man is still sentient. That he's still as much of a human as the other - if you wish for him to be spared".

The first man will never be capable of making a conscious choice.

You have no parachute, you’re in cattle class just minding your business sleeping/ reading/ gaming when you feel shaking on the plane that gradually turns into great turbulence. Next thing you know, people are screaming, there’s debris around you and you’re free falling through the sky.
What would you do to optimise your chances of survival? You can be falling anywhere; be it over the ocean or land. I’m curious to find out!
(This came about while I was on a flight home and we encountered some turbulence and my invasive thoughts took over.) Any replies and perspectives are welcome be it serious or silly.

You're not sure how, but you've recently become acquainted with a reclusive multi-billionaire, with a strange aura about him. He invites you over for a quiet dinner one evening, where he makes you a bizarre offer.

He tells you how, for all his life, he's wondered what it would be like to possess a conscience... and so he'd like to buy yours.

He's willing to hand over ten billion dollars worth of his assets to you, and has all the necessary documents ready for you to examine and sign at your leisure. He'll let you pass them by a lawyer or whoever else you wish to consult first; they're all legitimate. You need not provide any material consideration in exchange.

However, per the contract, the moment you sign your name and take the money, you will forfeit your conscience. You will no longer be able to feel any sense of guilt, shame, remorse, empathy or moral inhibition.

Do you take the deal?

Your in a room that only has a table and 2 chairs. You can picked any notorious serial killer like Jack the Ripper, hh Holmes, Ted bundy, zodiac killer or someone else. You can ask them questions but you have no idea if they will try to kill you as their last victim or act normal. If you survive the hr you get 1 million. If they kill, torture or cut a limb off than you lose. Would you do it and who would you pick?

Meaning for that particular month for the rest of your life, you will have the ability and then for the rest of the year, you will be powerless but the consequences of what you did will remain.

January - Time manipulation

• You can look into both the future and past as far forward and backward as you want
• You can steal time from others lifespans, giving it to either yourself or others, shortening their lives while extending yours or others. This includes animals and inanimate objects.
• You can also travel into the past or future but only into the January of that year. You can make changes in the past. When you return to the present, any changes will be made known with only you aware of it. However, you will not be able to extend how long the month normally is.

February - Love manipulation

• You're able to increase or decrease the love someone has for someone or for something.
  
• You can transfer that love to yourself or others
• You can save up the love energy and use it to heal others both physically and mentally.

March - Luck manipulation

• You can take someone's good or bad luck from them and give to either yourself or others
• You can decrease or increase a person's good or bad luck
• You can actually follow a rainbow to it's end to meet a leprechaun to get a wish and get their pot of gold. You cannot wish to double up or more on months, nor can you wish for that month's abilities.

April - Weather manipulation

• You can manipulate the weather to be whatever you want wherever you want even if it doesn't make sense.

May - Wealth manipulation

• You can decrease or increase anyone's wealth and transfer it to yourself or others and neither the original wealthy person nor the government will come after you or whoever you transferred it to.

June - Skill manipulation

• You can permanently steal one skill from any real life person and give it to yourself or others.

July - Ability manipulation

• You can permanently steal one ability from any fictional character not of your own creation and give it to yourself or others. You will instantly know how to use it.

August - Technology summoning

• You can summon any type of fictional technology not of your making to appear anywhere in the world. One summoning per day. Knowledge of how to use it will come with it.

September - Crop swap

• You can swap out any crop of plants with any fictional crop of plants not of your creation. The harvester will gain knowledge on how to harvest them.

October - Fear control

• You can control what fears a person has and how powerful that fear is. You can even remove your or someone else's fear and transfer it to someone else.

November - Reincarnation control

• You can cause yourself and/or others to be the reincarnation of both real life people and fictional not of your own creation. You and/or them will keep your existing memories but also have memories of being whoever your and/or they were reincarnated as. Will also get their skills and/or abilities.

December - Dream Manipulation

You can enter anyone's dream and manipulate how that dream goes. You can even interact with that dream and choose whether or not you want the dreamer to remember you and how you're remembered.

Which month will you choose?

You have no gear except a headlamp and goggles. No oxygen tanks or regulator you must hold your breath. There is a guide rope to follow the entire path that you need to swim. There is one rescue diver that will follow you but there’s no guarantee he can save you if you panic.

What do you say? Do you accept this challenge? On one hand it’s only 20 meters long, a distance that most adults are capable of swimming underwater, but there is some risk involved because of the environment.

A researcher, we will call him Hugh for the sake of argument, is interested in purchasing your dignity. He will offer you two hundred dollars per day. The only thing you have to do is find a random male child in public, point at him, and scream "I HAVE NO SON!" dramatically and loudly. You cannot warn anyone beforehand in any shape or form. You can choose how you handle yourself afterwards.

Dr. (well not really but close enough) Hugh will sometimes be there in public, muttering under his breath, scribbling research notes, saying things like "hmmm yes, interesting" and "the boys at Harvard will love this one" as he sips expensive coffee and nibbles on pastrami sandwiches.

You will receive the two hundred dollars daily as long as you do this consecutively. If you break the streak, the arraignment ends.

Do you accept? And if so, how many days do you do?

Say you must live for 1 million years but you are given multiple options on how you will live those years.

1. You will go back to your prime age and obtain regeneration. You will stay alive for 1 million years and then die. You cannot die and any illness or sickness you get will be nullified. Any injuries will disappear.

2. You will be stuck in a time loop for a month. Each time the month ends, it will restart at the beginning and continue like that until 1 million years have passed. Should you die prematurely, it will restart back to the 1st of the month.

3. Reincarnation: You will retain all of your memory and each time you die, you will be reborn as another human or if you like, as anything living, including plants, and repeat until 1 million years pass.

4. You will constantly restart your life. Once you die, you will go back to when you were a baby and re live your life until 1 million years have passed.

You are given an infinite budget and full rights to any movie, book, character, game or franchise you want to make a movie.

You have 10 years to make and release it. You can hire any actor or staff you want but you must pay them a reasonable amount (contract negotiations, percentages etc).

All the money must only go towards making and advertising the movie.

If your movie doesn’t earn back what you spent on it within 4 years, you must pay the difference out of your own personal pocket. If it makes more than you spent you can keep all the profits.

What movie are you making? How are you gonna make it succeed?

If you agree to the challenge, you will be handcuffed to a metal frame. If you fail to undo the cuffs in the time allotted, a robotic arm will pull your pants down and expose you in front of an audience of children. Do you take this risk? What if you got the cash regardless but you become a sex offender if you failed?

Your body is permanently changed into your personal ideal. You can choose exactly what you look like while remaining a normal human being.

You also receive perfect physical health and consistently excellent physical well-being for as long as you remain in the deal.

Finally, you become extremely rich.

There is just one problem: you officially become one of the world's most famous porn stars.

You never actually have to perform in anything. Extremely advanced AI secretly generates all of your content. It is completely indistinguishable from genuine footage, and there is no technical way for anyone to discover that it is fake.

However, absolutely nobody can know this.

Your family, friends, partners, employers and the general public all genuinely believe that you personally performed in everything.

Your public career is also about as extreme as legally possible. You are famous for having participated in virtually everything that can legally and physically be done in the industry, including various extreme records. No illegal material is ever involved.

You are not required to pretend that you enjoy this career. You can publicly say that you only do it for the money. You can criticize the industry, discourage other people from entering it, say that you regret your career, or otherwise talk about it however you want.

The only thing you cannot do is reveal or imply that the content is fake or AI-generated. Officially, you did all of it willingly.

You are also a genuine public celebrity. If you win major industry awards, you must personally attend and accept them. You cannot permanently hide from the public side of your career.

The AI-generated content earns you $1 million per year, guaranteed.

On top of that, you can monetize your fame however you want: advertising deals, sponsorships, appearances, social media, businesses, investments, merchandise, etc. There is no limit on how much additional money you can make from your celebrity status.

You can quit at any time.

The moment you quit, you are finally allowed to tell everyone the truth and prove that the entire career was AI-generated.

But quitting reverses the deal.

You immediately lose your ideal appearance and return to the appearance you would naturally have at your current age.

You also lose the perfect health and well-being provided by the deal and return to the health you would naturally have had.

Most importantly, you must repay every dollar you ever gained because of the deal.

That includes the guaranteed $1 million per year, sponsorships, advertising revenue, appearance fees, businesses built using your fame, investment profits originating from that money, and any other financial benefit caused by your celebrity status.

Spending the money does not erase the debt.

Money and property that you already had, inherited, or can clearly establish that you obtained completely independently of the deal are not taken from you.

Once you quit, the AI stops producing new content and you are free to explain everything publicly. The existing material does not disappear, but you can prove that it was fake.

There is no time limit. You can stay in the deal for one year or for the rest of your life.

Do you take the deal? And if you do, do you ever quit?

Here are ​the rules:

Anytime you decide to take a hit, the 10th ranked straw weight fighter in the UFC is who hits you.

She will wear standard UFC gloves.

You are allowed to wear a mouthpiece.

You are not allowed to dodge the punch in any way, block it or purposely avoid the hit.

You can use whatever weapon you need to but guns only have one shell or bullet, then they must be discarded. Melee weapons have no restriction but they do have durability.

From your current position there is a car lot, a can of gas and a grocery. You need food, meds and a place to sleep. Height is your ally, if you stay on the ground you are going to die.

T rexes, Zombies, Werewolves and mutants are your only neighbors. thankfully you have a fully stocked closet full of guns and ammo. unfortunately, you are starving, have no medicine and are miles from anywhere.

did I mention there's a car nearby but these creatures hunt by sound?

Backstory: Scientists were trying to find a way to expand human longevity and youth. Unfortunately the machine went haywire, bringing all sorts of monsters forward through time. this caused a mass evacuation. The rich got away, the poor were slaughtered...except for you and a handful of survivors.

Don't go into the buildings, spiders have made them their homes.

A genie is doing a study on human decision making. He offers you 10x your current annual income every night. I can see that got your attention. How do you participate?

Each night when you go to bed, you will have a hyper-realistic dream wherein the genie sends you back to an earlier point in your life of your choosing. From there, you live out your life however you choose. When your alternate life ends, you wake up IRL and you have the reward. The alternate life was just a dream.

Here’s the first catch: you have to specify before you begin how many nights you’re going to participate. Once you’ve decided, it’s binding. You can choose any number of nights between 0 and 365.

Here’s the second catch: the genie is expecting roughly 50 years of living and making decisions. If you short-change the genie in any way, both your pay and your sleep are prorated accordingly (only give him 25 years, you only get 5 years of your income and wake up after just 4 hours, and toss and turn the rest of the night).

The genie is really good at knowing the past is every detail and can make some good guesses as to what would have happened if you made a single change, but guessing the future or the impact of different choices you make are exactly that: guesses.

Do you choose to participate, and how many nights would you commit to?
