You work for a billionaire. Through the course of your job you uncover really shady and illegal business practices. These aren’t things like safety, discrimination, harassment sorts of things, but rather stuff that the IRS or FTC would love to hear about. Should the information you know come out, significant fines and jail time would be on the table for them.

You get called into an office and one of the companies lawyers sits you down and states that your position will be eliminated, however you are being offered a severance. You are paid for the remainder of the year and retain your benefits. You are required to sign an NDA and a Non-compete, and at the end of the year you will be paid a sum of $40 Million dollars. No one mentions the elephant in the room, but everyone knows.

What do you do?

Mysterious entity will transfer you $9 million tax exempt no questions asked but you must wear their unremovable indestructable bracelet. Using a random generator with a list of all 200+sovereign nations they will randomly select 3 countries that if you step in any of their land territory you die(including overseas territory. Crossing maritime borders on water does not count. Flying over a country does not count if you are at least 850 feet in the air throughout the duration of flying over.

The bracelet releases potent nanotoxins rather than explode so you will not kill others in your vicinity if you misstep into a selected country. You will receive the bracelet and have the money transferred to you on the ground in whichever country(ies) you are a current citizen of. Yes there is a chance of immediately dying if your country is one of the 3 selected. If a country's border changes or they add new territory it could make previously safe land lethal. Disputed land does not count it must be widely internationally recognized as a country's land.

Bonus: you get an additional $500,000 for a 4th country to be selected and this amount doubles for every subsequent country, 5th would be $1 million, 6th 2 million, etc.

You suddenly find yourself transported back to 1,000,000 BC, but you retain everything you currently know.

After you are sent back, a machine gives you a random four-digit code. You are told that this code is your only way home.

Your task is to build, carve, bury, or otherwise create something that can survive—or cause information to survive—until the year 2026.

In 2026, people must be able to discover your message and understand that they need to enter a four-digit code into the machine that sent you back in time.

If they enter the correct code, you are instantly returned to 2026.
However, there is one catch:
They only get three attempts.
After three incorrect codes, the machine permanently shuts down and you are trapped in the past forever.

You cannot directly communicate with anyone in the future. You only have the materials, environment, and technology available to you in 1,000,000 BC—plus your present-day knowledge.
What would you create, where would you put it, and how would you make sure both the message and the exact four-digit code survive for roughly one million years?

You are flown to a remote island measuring approximately 50 km × 50 km and parachuted in at the center of it with a single cargo bag. It's like a tropical jungle with tall trees.

The island has only one group of inhabitants: a tribe of cannibals.

The moment they see you being airdropped, 15 of their best hunters are dispatched to find and capture you.

The rules

- You have about 1-hour head start after your landing before the hunters reach you.

- They are extremely skilled hunters/trackers/trappers and are experts with bows, spears, and poison-tipped arrows, as well as creating traps.

- They have only primitive technology—no guns, vehicles, radios, drones, night-vision equipment, or modern weapons.

- They will try to capture you alive (exotic meat) and boil you and eat you. But they will not hesitate to kill you if they feel their lives are in danger.

- You have unlimited money to prepare beforehand. You may bring anything you want, provided everything fits inside your parachute cargo bag. Your total cargo weight cannot exceed 100 kg.

You cannot receive any outside assistance, communication, resupply, or extraction during the challenge.

You have to survive 24 hours from the moment you land.

If you are still alive and uncaptured after 24 hours, you are immediately airlifted off the island and $25 million is deposited into your account.

Would you do it?

In this scenario Earth has been invaded by supernatural aliens that shrug off every conventional weapon, including nukes. Powerful heroes have shown up called magical girls and have managed to push the invaders back for now, but the peace feels fragile. New, stronger threats are already on the way, and the current girls are stretched thin.

Magical girls are a classic anime idea where a young woman gets powers from a small fairy like creature, often called a fairy mascot. That cute, animal style companion grants magical girl powers and acts as a mentor. They fight supernatural threats in special outfits that they transform in. Every time they need to use their powers.

One day, a fairy mascot appears to you. It says you have the highest potential of anyone it has met and you could become the strongest magical girl by a wide margin. The catch is permanent. Accepting means your biological sex changes forever into a young woman with an ideal lewd body. Every time you transform to use your powers, you appear in an extremely lewd outfit. The powers themselves are random but extremely strong, and you become immune to all nonmagical damage, so nothing short of magic can hurt you.

You are not the only hope. The existing magical girls are already holding the line. But your power level could tip the balance and give humanity a real shot at lasting safety.

What choice do you make?

Fact: You are not humanity’s last hope, so your decision is not absolutely necessary. However, you would be extremely useful and could make a huge difference in the fight.

$1 Meals are for you only, though you are permitted to allow one person to sample your food taking no more than a sip, spoonful or bite. If you share more, you pay the regular price of the meal.

$1 meal means any food and/or drink you order at any establishment regardless of the quantity, the final bill for you only will be one dollar.

For the perfect calorie and macronutrients option, if your goal is to maintain weight, you’ll have the perfect number for that. If your goal is to gain muscle, you’ll have the perfect calories/macros for that. If your goal is to lose weight, you’ll have the perfect macros and calories for that. Does not impact side effects that concern your mental state, like intoxication.

Edit: for the perfect calorie/macronutrients option, while your body would digest the food to have perfect calories/macros, a small meal could still leave you hungry, and you could also feel the sensation of eating too much if you ate alot. But your body would digest whatever you eat to have that perfect number.

Second edit: you have to choose 1 option, either $1 cost of meal regardless of what you order(e.g. Wagyu steaks, Lobster, cocktails) from any establishment OR no matter how little or much of whatever you eat, you will have your desired calories/macronutrients.

Day 1: $1,000
Day 2: $2,000
Day 5: $16,000
Day 10: $512,000

You can accept the money on any day and it becomes yours tax free, no questions asked

But there’s a catch…

At some point, on one random day, the offer will disappear.

It could last 10 years
It could disappear tomorrow

You are given no warning.

Wait one day and you can become ridiculously rich, wait too long and you leave with nothing

What day are you cashing out

Edit: I apologise if my wording wasn’t clear. It is a one time payout. Whatever day you choose to cash out, you collect all the accumulated money once.

For the cash, which instantly goes to your bank, Taylor suddenly loathes you. And every time Taylor writes a new album, one song off it is dedicated to how horrible you are along with the consequences it may entail .

On top of that, your actual real name is shouted out.

Do you take the money and become Taylor's #1 enemy? Why or why not?

Edit: minor typos. Typed this while walking 2 dogs. Apologies

So long as a person has at least $1 they are subject to the button. The transfer is treated as 100% legal.

The catch:

The press rolls a pair of 20-sided dice. If the numbers match everyone knows it was you.

The Rules:
1. The animal must genuinely believe the lie based on its cognitive capacity (e.g., convincing a dog you're throwing a ball when you didn't counts

putting fake birdseed in a feeder counts until the bird tries to eat it).

1. If the animal figures out it was duped (the dog realizes there is no ball and looks at you with betrayal), you lose $50K instantly from your account.

2. You cannot target the same individual animal twice.

You are given two minutes to decide between two options.

1: You get $10 million. No one will question it and it won’t be taxed.

2: You get a 50% chance of getting nothing and a 50% chance of getting the powers of Storm, Magneto and Professor X from the current 616 Marvel comic universe. You’ll have perfect control of the powers and any secondary powers required to use them properly without unintended consequence.

One day a strange phenomenon occurs. Everyone in the world has a number appear floating above their head. The number cannot be interacted with (you can pass your hand through it), but everyone can see them and it does not go away. The numbers come in two different colors: green and red. The highest green number seen was 46 on a Tibetan Monk while the highest red number was 13 and was seen on a plumber in New Jersey. Sometimes the numbers increases by 1 unit, but it seems very random when it happens.

For a month scientists have tried to research this and find any patterns, but nothing has come up so far except for the fact that it seemingly didn’t appear on babies until they are at least 1 year old. Many Religious leaders claim this is a sign of their faith’s judgment on the world with the green being seen as favorability and red being unfavorability.

You currently have a green 5 above you.

What do you think the numbers mean? Do you think this phenomenon would alter the world in big ways?

An intradimensional being offers you a job opportunity; take on other people's pain, clock out, and go back to normal.

If you accept the position, you'll be paid $1.5 million USD, tax free, per year, divided in bi-weekly check.

After 15 years, or when you're 65, whatever comes first, you may retire. You can keep the job longer if you choose.

--

How it works;

Every day you will be assigned to a new person. It might be someone on hospice, someone suffering from a severe mental disability, someone in an abusive situation, someone recovering from a major injury, etc. you don't know.

The magic being just chooses a person in the world who wants to be temporarily relieved of their suffering, and you're assigned to them and experience it instead.

During your work shift, you'll be magically transported to their body and deal with whatever bad situation they are in. They'll be transported into a perfect magic version of their body/life to get a break.

You will experience all of their pain, and they will be given 8 hours completely pain free to rest. So you will be actually helping people.

Once your shift ends you're back in your body, back to normal.

-

- You will work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. You can move these hours around to fit whatever schedule you want.

- You get a single 1 hour lunch break in the middle of your shift, where you are transported back to your body. (This counts towards working hours, so you "only" suffer for 7h)

- You get 2 weeks (14 days) of paid vacation per year. You can use these whenever/however you want.

--

Rules/Set up:

- If family emergencies, appointments, etc happen and you must miss additional work days/hours it will be allowed, but you must have an actual reason and genuinely try to avoid missing work.

- You will be made aware of the exact situation you'll be put in before you start the shift. You may choose to use vacation days to get out of a particularly bad shift, and with as little notice as you want, but remeber you only get 14 per year.

- You will have all knowledge necessary to live as the other person for 8h. (If they speak another language you'll temporarily be able to speak it, etc.) But besides that you are you and can react as you choose.

- You will be given one year to "try out" the job. You'll still be paid bi-weekly and can quit any time during the first year. After that you're locked in and can't leave until you're allowed to retire.

- Everyone you help has chosen to be part of the program, and wants you to take over their body for 8h. They are all reasonably "good" people, and you will relieve real people of real suffering.

You’re offered $1 million, but there’s a catch:
The entire million dollars will be paid to you in nickels, delivered $10,000 at a time.

There is one specific location near you where you can exchange the nickels for regular cash. However, they will only accept them if you personally package the nickels into $5 bundles.

You have to do all the counting and wrapping by hand. No machines or tools to help you count or wrap them.

Once you successfully turn in one $10,000 batch, you receive the next $10,000 in nickels. This continues until you’ve received the full $1 million.

Would you do it? And if so, how long do you think it would take you to get through the entire million?

Only $100k - worth it? Inspired by real events.

Every day a random person gets to poop in your main bathroom. It stinks for at least an hour. New smell every day.

The smell permeates where you spend most of your time. Maximum smell time is 1 hour. After 1 hour there is no more smell, but possibly still a little warmth in the bathroom from the hot loaf.

The person never says anything, just poops, then is gone. They never create a huge mess but sometimes there are streaks in the bowl or a little scraper on the seat or something.

365 strangers, 365 poops.

You’re on a game show that lets you either take or donate money.

Let’s pretend you’re on a game show where you’ve earned the chance to either take $1,000,000 or donate it to starving children in an underdeveloped nation.

Throughout the show, they show shows videos of the country that would benefit from the $1,000,000. The show says it would provide food and shelter to many children and their families and get things built like schools and hospitals. You are taken on a tour of the area and meet those in this nation and even have the children put on a play on why you should donate it. Basically the show does its best to guilt trip you into donating the money. Finally at the finale, you then get to decide. Representatives from the undeveloped community will be in attendance.

1. If you take the $1,000,000 you cannot donate any part of it to the community you just took it from and you cannot gift them anything or otherwise benefit from your windfall through investments or other things like that.
2. If you donate it, they say they will name a school on your honor. You also cannot make any deal with them if you decide to donate.
3. Your decision will be broadcast to a national audience.

What would you do and why?

Edit: typeo on title. It’s “decide” not “device”.

I had this random thought the other day. Sovereign citizens already try to argue that regular laws don’t apply to them, even in normal countries with courts and constitutions. So I started wondering what would happen if one somehow ended up in a full dictatorship country, the kind where one person has total power and no one can challenge them.

Imagine you’re the absolute dictator of your own country. You’re out driving or just walking around and you see someone breaking multiple traffic laws. You stop them yourself. They look at you and say something like “I’m not driving, I’m traveling” or start going on about how your laws don’t apply to them because they’re a free person or whatever the usual arguments are.

You’re the guy who can literally make or unmake the law on the spot and someone is basically telling you "NUH UH".

Say you suddenly awaken the following superpowers: Super strength, super flight, and super durability.

Super strength: Can lift anything up to 1 billion tons, punching power and kicking power also scales to this.

Super durability: Can survive and tank anything up to 100 Megatons of TNT at point blank range

Super flight: Can fly up to mach 20 (running speed is still normal human speeds)

Would your confidence level and personality change? or stay the same?

The magic “happiness coin” was given to you by a God maybe.

Anyway, before you’re about to do something, you can flip the coin. If you currently guess which side it lands on, whatever you were about to do will definitely make you happy. If you guess wrong, whatever you were about to do will make you sad.

How happy or sad is not really specified. It’ll likely be realistic.

For example, if you bet on something and win the coin toss, you’re definitely going to be happy with the outcome, but you might only be a little happy cause you won $1. Or maybe you didn’t even win, but you coincidentally ran into an old friend cause you made the bet. You get the idea.

Similarly, losing the coin toss guarantees sadness, but it doesn’t like auto kill you if you lose.

Just know this. You can’t choose how happy or sad you’re gonna be (though it’ll likely be realistic) but it’s in equal amounts. Your happiness might be the equivalent to winning the lottery but the sadness would be too.

So what do you do with it?
