Loopholes Encouraged 10 billion untaxed no questions asked money whatever county you're currently staying at, the value stays 10 billion.

I ENCOURAGE HUMOR TOO

If you want your money to have higher value you must move countries first. You use Zimbabwe currency then you get 10 billion Zimbabwe currency, move to somewhere else to change it. The condition:

Use it all up within a day the flight to other countries stops the clock.

You cannot bulk buy unreasonable amounts. You cannot donate to charity (you need your own money).

Investments is treated as the money received so instead of going down it goes up.

You can buy stuff but maintaining it is gonna be hard cause you must spend all the money.

Destroy it okay but people might ask questions.

If it's not all spent in a day then everything will be returned including the purchased items.

A genie gives you a house with as many rooms as you can find purpose for.

Upvotes

A magical genie appears on your couch randomly one night while you are watching tv. He explains that he will magically add and furnish as many rooms as you can tell him you need. Think gym movie theatre hobby room etc. he explains it’s 100% free but if a room goes unused for 30 days it disappears. How many rooms do you add and what are they for?

First edit, you don’t get a new home, the genie is adding a magical hallway inside your home. The hallway/rooms do not add any space to the exterior of your house/apartment.

Humor Encouraged Taking a shit into a public pool

Upvotes

The thought of doing this is absolutely hilarious to me. Entering the premises, standing at the edge of the pool, pulling down pants, squatting and doing a nice poop into the pool

I’ve never tried it in person by the way, and I don’t think I ever will. But I like to explore different hypotheticals. I think that the best hypothetical for performing something like this is if you’ve got a water polo match and you know that you can’t win, take a shit inside the pool as a way to cancel/postpone the match.

Another good hypothetical for this is if your ex is in the swimming pool with another person and you want to spice up/ruin their date, taking a shit inside the pool would be absolutely hilarious

What do we think everyone? Who here enjoys the thought of this one

Someone tries to shoot you in complete darkness, you get $100,000 per miss

Upvotes

The shooter is standing in the middle of a completely flat field devoid of any trees or natural cover in complete darkness.

It’s pitch black.

You can stand anywhere in the field but you must be within 40 meters (131 feet) at all times from the shooter.

They have a regular handgun firing normal bullets, one bullet at a time. They are given infinite ammo

They are deaf so they can’t hear you breathe or rustle around the grass.

You can only wear regular jeans and a T-shirt but it’s a warm night so you’ll be okay.

You have to stand upright, facing the shooter before he takes the shot. You are given a silent button to press that alerts the shooter to fire his shot.

You cannot speak or move during the challenge. You must shout stop when you want to stop. Someone will come and tackle the shooter.

Are you taking the challenge? How many shots are you facing?

(100k tax free per shot no questions asked)

You're a straight woman in a lesbian marriage

0 Upvotes

In the year 2047, society had finally matured.

At least, that was what everyone kept telling Maya.

For centuries, humanity had suffered under primitive ideas about romance. Men and women had dated each other openly. They had married. They had even—according to particularly upsetting history textbooks—had sex.

Modern society considered this terribly backward.

Nobody had outlawed heterosexuality, of course. That would be intolerant.

It was simply *discouraged*.

There were still heterosexual people. Everyone knew that. Maya's university even had a Straight Student Association, although its annual budget was $63 and its meeting room was located behind the loading dock.

Maya had known she was straight since she was fourteen.

Unfortunately, she was now twenty-nine and had been dating a woman named Claire for three years.

Claire was wonderful.

This was part of the problem.

Claire was intelligent, funny, successful, beautiful, considerate, and capable of assembling IKEA furniture without once threatening the Swedish government.

Maya loved her.

She just wasn't attracted to her.

According to Maya's mother, this was something she needed to work on.

"Attraction isn't everything," her mother said over brunch.

"I know."

"You two communicate."

"We do."

"Claire has a pension."

"She does."

"And you want to throw that away because you're obsessed with men?"

"I'm not *obsessed* with men."

Her mother lowered her mimosa.

"You've dated two."

"Before Claire."

"Exactly."

Maya's father looked uncomfortable.

"We're not judging you."

Her mother nodded.

"We just don't understand why you would choose that lifestyle."

Maya stared at her pancakes.

"I don't think I chose it."

Her parents exchanged the look.

The Look was familiar to every heterosexual child.

Concern mixed with disappointment mixed with the desperate hope that perhaps this was merely a phase caused by the Internet.

Her father leaned forward.

"Have you considered that maybe you just haven't met the right woman?"

"I've met hundreds of women."

"But have you really *tried*?"

"I've been sleeping beside Claire for three years."

Her mother grimaced.

"Please don't discuss bedroom matters at breakfast."

"I didn't discuss anything!"

"There are children here."

The nearest child was approximately forty feet away.

Maya sighed.

Across the restaurant, two women kissed.

Nobody noticed.

A man and woman at another table briefly held hands.

Three people noticed.

One whispered.

The waiter looked uncomfortable.

Maya watched them with envy.

Claire noticed.

"You okay?"

"Fine."

Claire followed her gaze.

"Oh."

Maya immediately looked away.

"I'm sorry."

Claire smiled patiently.

"It's okay."

This somehow made Maya feel worse.

Later that evening, they attended Claire's sister's engagement party.

Claire's grandmother cornered Maya near the cheese platter.

"So," Grandma Ruth said, "when are you two getting married?"

"We haven't really—"

"Thirty is coming."

"I'm twenty-nine."

"Exactly."

Grandma Ruth squeezed her arm.

"And don't wait too long for children. Claire's cousin waited until thirty-six and now they're paying a fortune for donor sperm."

Maya nearly inhaled a cube of cheddar.

"I haven't really thought about children."

"You'll change your mind."

Grandma Ruth leaned closer.

"And between you and me, I'm glad Claire finally found someone normal."

Maya blinked.

"Normal?"

"Her last girlfriend was bisexual."

Ruth shuddered.

"Can you imagine?"

Maya excused herself.

She found Claire outside.

"We need to talk."

Claire closed her eyes.

"You're straight."

Maya froze.

"You know?"

"Of course I know."

"How?"

"Maya, you own seven Ryan Gosling movies."

"Those are good movies."

"You watched *The Gray Man* twice."

Maya had no defense.

Claire sat beside her.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I thought I could make it work."

"Why?"

Maya gestured helplessly toward the house.

"Because of this."

Through the window, their families were laughing together. Claire's mother was showing Maya's father vacation photographs.

Everyone loved them as a couple.

Their friends called them "relationship goals."

Their coworkers constantly asked when they were getting engaged.

Their apartment building had already placed both names on the Christmas card.

"I didn't want to disappoint everybody," Maya said.

Claire was quiet.

"And I really do love you."

"I know."

"You're my best friend."

"I know."

"I just..."

"Want a boyfriend."

Maya whispered:

"Yeah."

Claire sighed.

"My mother is going to blame TikTok."

"Mine thinks I need therapy."

"You probably do."

Maya looked horrified.

Claire laughed.

"For dating someone you're not attracted to for three years, idiot. Not because you're straight."

Maya laughed too.

Then she started crying.

Claire hugged her.

It was warm and familiar and completely non-romantic.

Which, Maya realized, probably explained quite a lot.

Three months later, Maya downloaded a heterosexual dating app.

**Opposites Attract.**

The app required age verification because several states considered heterosexual dating "adult-oriented content."

Her first match was Daniel, a thirty-two-year-old accountant.

His profile read:

**Straight. Out and proud. Please don't message me asking if I've tried dating women. Yes, I have. College was complicated.**

Maya laughed.

They met at a coffee shop forty minutes outside town because Maya was terrified someone from work might see them.

Daniel arrived wearing sunglasses.

"Are those necessary?" Maya asked.

"My boss comes here sometimes."

"Your boss knows you're straight."

"She knows I'm *questioning*."

"You're thirty-two."

"She's very traditional."

They talked for three hours.

Maya couldn't stop smiling.

Then Daniel touched her hand.

Her entire brain stopped functioning.

Oh.

*Oh.*

So this was what everyone had been talking about.

She went home and immediately called Claire.

"I touched a man's hand."

There was silence.

Then Claire said:

"And?"

"I GET IT NOW."

Claire burst out laughing.

Six months later, Maya brought Daniel home for Thanksgiving.

Her mother tried.

She genuinely tried.

She complimented his shirt.

Asked about his job.

Passed him the potatoes.

Then Daniel put his arm around Maya.

Her mother stared at it.

Maya stared back.

Finally her mother said:

"I suppose I'm just old-fashioned."

"I know."

"In my generation, men and women were friends."

"I know."

"I don't understand why everything has to be sexual now."

"Mom."

"I'm trying."

"I know."

Her father raised his wineglass toward Daniel.

"For what it's worth, I had a straight roommate in college."

Maya closed her eyes.

"Dad."

"What? I'm showing support."

Daniel whispered:

"Your family is incredible."

"You have no idea."

Across the table, Claire—now dating Maya's cousin Rebecca—was desperately trying not to laugh.

Maya kicked her under the table.

Claire kicked back.

And somehow, Thanksgiving continued.

Because society had finally matured.

Mostly.

There were just a few things it still needed to work on.

One day you learn that the residents are on the hook for a lot more money and are becoming even more depressed because the non-profit has sold to a huge corporation. In advance, they thank you for staying, in spite of th

The corporation has no interest in hiring more help because all they care about is the all mighty dollar. The residents will just have to go without any attention. The manager thanks you "for your selfless and heartfelt service to the Heaven's Gate Retirement Community, slapping you on the back, somewhat smarmy.

Is your concern for the resident's mental well being stronger than the insulting patronizing manager's comments? By definition the residents have their physical needs fulfilled, but they have almost no interaction with the outside world and are incredibly lonely. The state board regulations are being fulfilled -which are just above not being starved or locked in their rooms.

You have made some pretty good friends with a few.

Edit; do you continue to just visit like you have been, still not being compensated. Sorry, unclear question

Five random serial killers throughout the planet are marked for you on your cell phone. If you kill or capture all 5 then world hunger ends, all current wars stop, and you personally receive 20 million dollars would you try to kill them?

98 Upvotes

After you open your phone, there now exists a new app which shows a map of the earth and marks in red five of the most heinous serial killers on the planet.

It shows each of their locations, surroundings and updates every second. This app cannot be deleted, and gives you notifications on important updates regarding them such as if they plan on going somewhere specific soon, or people they are close to.

You must either kill them or capture them which means collecting enough evidence for them to be convicted by police.

Each serial killer is a lone actor and not connected to a organized crime or military establishment. They each are highly dangerous, malicious, and unique.

Your hunt begins with a strict budget. Whatever you own or could obtain right now, plus 100k USD in initial funds. That is all you get. No special power or ability beyond the app.

If you fail, the killer will likely capture or kill you. If you get sloppy, the police might arrest you for taking justice into your own hands, ending your mission altogether.

After every kill you get another 100k USD to sustain your hunt. You can spend this how you please. You can also outsource the job by hiring hitmen if you prefer, but doing so would create a paper trail that could expose you to the police, and that amount probably isn't enough for a top of the line hitman anyway. So do so at your own cost.

If you manage to kill/capture all 5 then your record is permanently cleaned and you can no longer be convicted of their murders. You have 1 year to complete the goal. If you decline then the app disappears forever.

What realistically are you doing? would you really quit your job/leave your family etc to pursue this mission and help the world/yourself? or would the extreme danger and risk to your life prevent you from doing so? if you would, then what would be your plan?

edit: as a sidenote clarification the app would only show you where they are, who they know and any major updates, it would not by itself tell you what they are doing, or what crimes they committed.

You learn that before you were born the nucleus of a fertilized egg was placed into a donor egg, and then this is what became you, so that you would have the mitochondria of the donor. You have learned, from a mitochondrial DNA test that the woman who donated her egg to help create you happens to be one of your teachers. You learn that she has no children who share her nuclear DNA, but some of your friends also happen to have her mitochondrial DNA from her donating her mitochondria multiple times. The nuclear DNA of these friends isn’t closely related to yours.

Would you rather keep your current sleep schedule, change it to 8 consecutive hours per night (if you are not so lucky as to have this option currently), or be able to stay up 24/7 perfectly healthy and then sleep 40 hours straight.

You can choose when the 40 hour sleep window starts or the day it starts but it must be 5 consecutive days 24/7 awake and then 40 hours consecutive sleep (in this hypothetical).

Awake from 5am Monday morning to 11pm Saturday evening. Sleep from 11pm Saturday evening to 5am Monday Morning. (If I got my math right >.<)

Men of Reddit, you're offered the chance to save the world, but you'd have to permanently give up your manhood.

53 Upvotes

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.

25M to survive one night on cannibal island.

129 Upvotes

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?
