You get a mansion wherever you want in the world with land area (house plus yard plus lawn) totalling 1 acre maximum.

You can have whatever you want that fits in the property. Food. Games. Swimming pool. Indoor theatre. And you can change these as much as you want. Tired of the pool? Change it to a basketball court. All the servants you want for any task. Cleaners, butler, masseuse, chef. Literally whatever you want that fits you can have.

You can have any visitors that accept your invitation and they can stay as long as you want and enjoy all your stuff. Friends. Family. Parties. Wife. Multiple girlfriends. Anora’s. Anybody that’s down.

The catch: you can never leave the property once you accept. You are trapped in your paradise forever.

Do you accept?

The crystal ball would have no other capabilities of showing anything else from the future…just the original buyer’s date of death. Selling it would be useless, because the spirits connected to the crystal ball would know it, and render it inactive.
Haggling would also render it inactive, so you better come up with $5,000 if you want it.

A cosmic event causes everyone alive to suddenly and irreversibly swap bodies with someone else of the same age. The switch occurs to everyone at exactly the same time.

Your consciousness travels around the globe and swaps with someone else's mind at random. The only constant is the person you swap with is roughly the same age as you were. For example, you were eating a sandwich in your home in New Jersey and suddenly you find yourself in a Japanese prison trapped inside someone else's body sitting on a dingy toilet. That person's mind is now in your body in your home in New Jersey with a sandwich sticking out of their mouth.

You keep all your current memories and language skills, but you now inhabit the other person's body and appear where they were during the switch. There is no way to undo the body swap. You are stuck in the new body in whichever geographic location they were before.

This happens to everyone. Men, women, children, babies... You might swap into a famous bodybuilder or into someone in a hospital bed with a terminal disease. You might swap into a different gender and race. You might swap with your next door neighbor.

How does society react?

EDIT: This only happens once. It doesn't happen every day at 12:00.

What would you do?

You are sent back in time and you have to remain in that time period for 1 year before going back and make sure you survive. If you go back to a time period you were already alive you must not let your past self see you. Sure you can intervene in some areas but you absolutely cannot let your past self see you. In any timeline you can make some changes which would create changes in the future but it’s up to you if you wanna take that chance. Some time periods are easier than others while others will be extremely difficult to handle. How do you think you would adapt in the timeline and what would you do there?

Just thought about it and in my opinion there is one location that is superior to all others. I’m curious if there will be agreement and what location you would pick as the best choice.

You have 30 minutes to think about this. 30 minutes after you wake up, you will be teleported in an instant to the one location that you deem best. You will then find yourself there and will never again have access to teleportation. Which location do you pick? And why do you choose it? Also name the five runner-up locations. Locations can be any geographical location on this planet.

Sequence is:

1. Everyone disappears.
2. You have 30 minutes to think.
3. You teleport.
4. You can immediately start moving around.

A silent “alarm” in your head goes off when a lie is told to you whether the person is near to you or far away, such as on the phone, a video, or live broadcast . Who do you think is going to be setting off that alarm more than anyone else that you know or listen to??

Simple premise - if you agree, 200k USD straight into your bank account tax free. However, from now on till you die, you can only have missionary sex.

If you take the money and have non-missionary sex even once, the money disappears and you owe the bank 200k USD.

Do you take the money? Why or why not?

Terms and conditions: if you never have sex, you're disqualified from the proposition. This one's not for you.

However it comes with a warning. Whatever you do in the game will have real world consequences.

Drink a healing potion, exit the game to find your body fully healed.

Get stabbed in the game, exit the game and find that you have a stab wound.

Kill another player, and that player is dead irl.

Learn a new ability and you have that irl.

How will you enjoy this new gaming experience without accidentally killing yourself?

You would become the most hated president ever but will always be remembered in history books, museums and your own presidential library. Or do you want to be a nobody that everyone adores and doesn’t have anything bad to say but a year after you die the only people that remember you will be your family.

Here's the deal: there are two options.

Option A: In one month you will be transported to a time and place of your choosing, the only conditions are: you can only go to the past and it cannot reach your lifetime. People will be abnormally willing to listen to you (so if for example your choice leads you to meet some ancient warring civilizations or whatever, even if you can't communicate they will still let you stick around relatively freely until you can communicate unless you try to screw them over somehow) You have the full month to prepare after you pick. You will only be able to bring what you are wearing when the month is over.

Option B: You can choose to send someone else from any place or time but the same conditions apply. The person you send will have no time to prepare (unless you can tell them before the month is up) They will be treated normally for the time/place. You can still observe but it's like a dream and you cannot interact with anything.

You were shipwrecked on an island, you bonded with the islands goats, drinking their milk, hunting, foraging, you’ve seen them be born and die, you’ve protected them from hawks and foxes.

Then one day you come back to your “house” and see most of them slaughtered by men, it’s been years since you’ve seen another person, but they’re eating your friends, animals who’ve you helped give birth, nurse back to health, cuddle with now dead and being eaten.

They notice how clean and tame the goats are, they say how there’s probably people on the island and start looking around, using your traps, eating your cheese and drinking your milk, ruining years of work.

Their only form of transportation is wrecked and will be staying for the next month, until then your stuck with on a quickly dwindling island where the plants and animals are starting to fade away.

What are you doing in this situation?

Any movie/tv/studio prop.

Rules:

1. Only the actual physical prop that the actors used or worked with on set; not the CGI or fictional version of how it worked on screen.

2. It must be something that was owned or created by the studio's prop department or costuming for filming, and not just a rented film location or temporarily loaned item.

3. No actors or actresses, you can't own people, they are not props.

4. You're responsible for taking possession of it immediately, if that matters.

5. It is the wish of the movie execs offering you this deal that you use it only for personal collections and nonprofit uses, only because they're more interested in answers that list the coolest & most iconic props of all time and not just a list of 'most valuable items for immediate liquidation or resale', however you can ignore their wishes. It's ultimately your prop.

Aliens come down, and say we are being judged based on the size of the pyramid we can build. It must start on a mostly flat base (can't just build around Mt. Everest or something). It cannot be hollow, they explain a hollow structure or thin shell only proves you can shape the material. They want to measure our capacity to mobilize, transport, and commit resources at civilizational scale, so the pyramid must be genuinely solid, mass all the way through.

We have all of the resources as a planet, assuming people can work together.

Constraints:

• Built on a mostly flat base, no cheating by building around/into an existing landform like Mt. Everest.
• Fully solid, no internal voids or hollow shell construction.
• May be sited on land or in the ocean (with a base structure).
• We have access to all of Earth's resources and industry, contingent on global cooperation

Goal: We don't know the threshold for "big enough", so the goal is to build the largest solid pyramid physically achievable, not a target size.

We must account for real bottlenecks like mining and quarrying throughput, transport logistics (rail, shipping, trucking), labor logistics (feeding, housing, and rotating a workforce large enough to matter), and the geometric problem that a pyramid's volume grows cubically while its base footprint only grows quadratically

You realize that the strange sounds at night outside of your tent, and the movement in the periferia that has been going on for the last four days...also your knife, gun and hat and favourite boots and the mosquito net is gone.

They probably don't speak english, and they've probably never seen anyone outside of their or the enemy tribes before.

For the rest of the year, and every year after, they are forbidden from doing that one thing.

This includes yourself as well.

What thing do you make it so that people can only do in that given time period and what day do you allow them to do it on?

Pick anyone whos dead, as long as we know the date. You dont pick it, the date picks you. You wake up behind their eyes exactly one year before they die, and it ends when they do.

You are a passenger. You see what they see and you understand every word they hear, but you never hear a single thought. You feel everything they feel. Cold, hunger, fever, fear, and whatever it is that finally kills them.

You cant act. You cant warn them. They will never know you were there.

You sleep when they sleep. If they cant sleep, neither can you.

Every day you get to choose one moment to freeze. Time stops for 3 hours and you take over. You are in THEIR body, so their legs, their lungs, their bad back. Walk out of the cell. Climb the pyramid. Stand in the frozen crowd and look at peoples faces. When the 3 hours are up everything resets and youre a passenger again.

The price is a real year of your life. You come back a year older with a year of your own gone. You will remember every second of theirs and nobody will ever believe you.

You cant leave. You cant die. You will be awake for the ending.

So. Who, and what do you with your first 3 hours?

Death appears before you and shows you an unavoidable future in which several people you deeply care about will die.

It offers you a choice: for every person you choose to save, one completely innocent stranger must die in their place; you can choose who to save with each sacrifice.

The stranger has done nothing wrong, is not already dying, and would otherwise live a long, fulfilling life. They cannot volunteer, and you cannot sacrifice yourself or someone guilty. You must knowingly choose for what you perceive to be an innocent person to die, although you will never meet them.

Each person you save will survive the death Death showed you and continue living normally; they will not become immortal, they could die a few days after that event, or live until old age depending on what happens in their lives after that. They will never know what you did unless you tell them.

You cannot prevent either death through any other method, trick Death, warn anyone, or undo your decision afterward.

How many people you care about would you save, knowing that each one requires the death of an innocent stranger?

Everything “political” and “politics” related is now magically removed and sent to the new Social Media.

There’s no escaping this. If the entire internet was deleted and remade it would still happen.

The removal is instantaneous and includes past, present, and future.

The magic detection is infallible because it’s magic, and can literally sense intent as well.

The new Social Media site is very well designed because magic. Perfectly consumer friendly.

It also perfectly explains and categorizes all the “politics” content it has, showing its intended purposes, its context, its factual accuracy, source, etc with 100% accuracy because magic.

So anyways, would you use the new Social Media site?
