Spiders won't kill eachother. All spiders regenerate for the next time.

Never had a brain or heart. No illness is possible. Legal and sold in restaurants. Prepared in a fine dining restaurant.

A mysterious phenomenon causes every male human on Earth to gradually lose his intelligence. Scientists confirm that the process is irreversible and that within exactly ten years, every man will have the cognitive abilities of an average chimpanzee.

The decline happens progressively, giving humanity a decade to prepare and adapt. Women are completely unaffected.

Rules:

• Men gradually lose their ability to speak, read, write, reason abstractly, and understand complex instructions. Their memories and acquired knowledge fade as their intelligence declines.
• They retain their human bodies, physical strength, coordination, emotions, instincts, and basic social behaviors.
• They can survive independently, find food, form social bonds, communicate through gestures and sounds, and learn simple tasks.
• They can perform basic physical labor, but only under supervision. They cannot operate complex machinery or perform jobs requiring human-level reasoning.
• They retain normal human lifespans and reproductive capabilities.
• All future male children are affected by the same phenomenon, while girls develop normally.
• There is no cure, and no way to prevent or reverse the transformation.

Scientists announce their findings immediately, and governments worldwide accept the prediction as certain.

Humanity has ten years to prepare for a world where approximately half the population can no longer participate in modern civilization as independent, intelligent adults.

What happens to civilization? How will women reorganize society, and what role will men have in this new world?

Your voice is completely gone any time you try to speak only your lips move, but there is no sound. Let's assume you have no knowledge of sign language either.

If you knowingly consume strawberries or anything with real strawberry in it, you die. If someone sneaks strawberry into your food or smoothie or you otherwise unwittingly consume any strawberry you instead get horrible diarrhea and moderate food poisoning.

Any strawberry flavored candy, dessert, etc with at least 0.1% real strawberry or strawberry juice in it counts.

Your next 3 massage sessions, whether done by a massage chair, your companion, or a professional masseuse gets the pleasurable sensations and brain chemicals like dopamine amplified by 15% with no side effect/come down. It kicks in after being massaged for one minute straight and the 3 sensation enhanced sessions can range from one minute to one hour.

Step family and adopted family counts, also there are two rule sets.

One where you have to obey the requirements, such as needing to be 35 years old or older and being born in the United States.

The second one allows anyone to become president.

Either case they need to obey term limits and the country’s other rules.

If you choose the 1/10,000,000 chance of living in a 5 star mega mansion then a fair d10 dice would appear in front of you and you would roll it 7 times and if it lands on 10 all 7 times you would live in the mansion, otherwise you would live in a small tent.

Neither is not an option in this scenario.

Which option do you choose?

The genie offers you the ability to acquire any skill instantly based on the market price. To illustrate, I spent $2000 learning how to drive, and by spending this money. I acquire the skills I need to drive with the proper license.

One can spend to acquire any skill under the world. So you could immediately graduate with a degree in law school. However, this does not guarantee you to pass the bar exam, as the exam is not part of the law school. One can acquire the knowledge at a medical school, but it does not necessarily make you a top surgeon.

The ability is unlimited, as long as you have the money to pay for it (whether by borrowing or paying it yourself).

What will you be learning?

You're set for life, you can have basically anything you like within reason (no nukes or entire countries), you're mostly immune to the law (can't kill people in public) but you're treated like a joke by everyone including those you're closest to. No one will take you seriously or respect you, no one will ever take your side. Even animals will disrespect you, all dogs will bite your ankles as you pass and flies will try to enter your nostrils. No one will be affectionate towards you unless you pay them and even then with extreme disdain. Basically you'll have to be content with being alone with extreme luxury and drugs for the rest of your life. Do you take the deal?

edit: the animals just disrespect you like birds will steal your meal but not poke out your eyeballs

A runaway train is approaching a split in the tracks. On one side are 10 young children, aged 3–7. On the other are their 5 single mothers and 5 older siblings, aged 12–14.

The children belong to five families, each consisting of a single mother and her three children.

Track A: 10 young children aged 3–7, two from each family.

Track B: 5 single mothers and their 5 oldest children, aged 12–14.

There are 10 innocent people on each track.

If the train takes Track A: The ten youngest children die. Each mother survives alongside her oldest child, having lost her two youngest.

If the train takes Track B: The five mothers and five older siblings die. The ten youngest children survive, orphaned, with only their younger siblings remaining.

If you refuse to divert the train: It derails at the junction, killing all 20 people.

There are no fathers or other family members who can step in to raise the surviving children.

You must choose which track the train takes. Doing nothing means everyone dies.

Which track would you divert the train towards, and why?

Both choices save exactly ten lives, but the consequences for the surviving families are very different.

The boss is a manipulative psychopath. If he knows, then your five years of hard work for the promotion ment to occur next month was for nothing. And you'll get fired, in this economy!!

Physical intervention outside the bosses officedoor: Stop them from reaching the door by force.

Escalate: Enter the office yourself uninvited, and lock the door behind you so your colleague can't get in to tell about it.

Confess: Admit what you did and try to explain yourself.

Lie: Invent a convincing excuse for why you were standing there that makes the colleague look real bad.

All thoughts are able to be heard as if they were being spoken outloud (it's kinda like a hypothetical speaker is taped to your head broadcasting your thoughts) It's spoken in about an average inside voice, with no way to alter it's volume

There's a demon that has the right to control you for exactly one minute once a week and makes you take off your pants and underwear and spank yourself aggressively and continuously for an entire minute, there won't be any legal consequences

the demon chooses the most embarrassing times, when you're in a very crowded street, in the elevator with your coworkers " who aren't your friends that'll laugh it off ", in the family gathering, just the time the demon thinks will be the most embarrassing

if you spend 1 week isolated in your house/room to prevent this from happening, by week 2 the demon will be able to do it twice in the same week, week 3 thrice, week 4 four times, it stacks infinitely, and you can't hire someone to buy your groceries for you or do any kind of possible human interaction for you

you don't get your paycheck if you change your lifestyle for the purpose of going around it.

you can make a deal with the demon to make it increase the number per week and increase the money, optional though

2 times a week = 2x the original 1.5k 3 times a week = 3x the original 1.5k etc..

If you accept, you must immediately quit your job regardless if you’re in the middle of a job/assignment.

A completely fair and unbiased coin is then flipped in the air.

If it lands on heads: You instantly win $10 million

If it lands on tails: You get nothing AND you can never reapply for any job that was in the same sector as your previous job

Would you accept the deal?

You’ve been arrested and charged with murder, but haven’t been convicted. The court is giving you a choice between being in jail or having armed guards accompany wherever you go until the trial.

If you choose the first option you would be stuck in jail until your trial but you wouldn’t have armed guards accompanying you wherever you go.

If you choose the second option you would be allowed to walk free until the trial, but armed guards would accompany you everywhere you go.

Which option do you choose?

Bit of a dark one, but here are a few clarifications for this hypothetical:

1. You are still you, same age, same appearance.

2. In your new life, you have some passive, median income, working from home and not interacting with anyone. You live in your current city in a decent apartment. You're not poor but definitely can't afford much.

3. There's no physical evidence you've ever existed, no photos, social media account or anything.

4. You do legally exist, you've paid all your taxes and have no criminal record.

5. As said in the title, nobody knows you. You have no way to convince anyone that they used to know you. If you contact your spouse, kids, parents etc, they'll probably think you're a creep and might call the cops on you.

Your dilemma:

A. This is your life now. You might struggle making new friends or improving your very basic situation, but it's a fresh start, for better of for worse.

B. You're opting out. You're telling the evil spirit you're not interested, you get a good meal, go to sleep and disappear. You're not even dead, you're just as inexistent as your memory. No pain, no fear, just the big nothingness.

What do you choose and why? Make any assumptions you want.

$500 million dollars of solid gold bars. (3.7 tonnes or 3700 kg) appears on your front lawn. That’s about 300 solid gold bars

If you are able to keep it hidden for 5 days you can keep it no questions asked.

Upon accepting the challenge, time instantly freezes for everyone but you and up to 4 other people of your choosing to help move it.

You must hid it anywhere within your city/nearest city.

The gold must be hidden in a way that you could retrieve it yourself if asked so no dropping it in the middle of the ocean.

You can hide the gold together or separately but the second a single bar is found the challenge is over and you walk away with nothing.

Once you are done hiding it, time unfreezes and everyone in your city is instantly alerted that $500 million worth of solid gold bars are hidden in your city and if they can find it they can keep it.

The people you choose to help you hide the gold have their memories instantly wiped and can be on the hunt for it.

Are you accepting? What’s your plan?

Your father tells you you come from a long line of debt owners. The biggest account is the US national debt. He tells you that during your great grandfather time the debt was low so the government slowly pays dividend to the different owners. But during his time the debt has grew so much that they decided each of owner of the debt gets a no limit charge card for daily spending. They believe that instead of paying back interest, letting the owners spend their own portion of the debt is a quicker way to pay off this debt (cause there would be reckless spenders)

Now your father is passing this charge card to you. There are no strings attached except some of the debt owners want to keep the debt level high so they can forever keep this unlimited charge card. Your family was likely part of the ones who want to keep the debt level high instead of spending it all ... thats why you've lived your life the way you've been living up until this moment.

What are you doing to do? Are you going to live a debt free life or will you go on a spending spree for your own benefits?

You're given a red pill or blue pill.

If you take the blue pill, and you're given $1,000,000 as a gift. You can spend it anyway you like.

If you take the red pill, and you're told that if you die, you'll respawn (Groundhog Day style) at the start of the same day you died, cured of whatever killed you (hit by a train, shot by a gun, cancer). You have knowledge of the events of the day you died but nobody else does. If you don't die, you get to the next day. Like everyone else.

If you choose red pill, you will be able to be a bit of a super hero, or super criminal. You will however live life forever until you are the last human alive. You will witness the rest of human history, and once every human has died off, you will keel over and die.

It could be millions of years.

Which do you choose?

Basically I want to hear wacky things people would do with the respawn power.

EDIT to address the most common question: when you die and respawn you have perfect health. Your outward appearance will appear to be a Rasin type of person. You may not be attractive as a 200 year old, but you will be the richest person ever.

Let's say you're a higher being and u want to make Grog and Grogina to have sex to start population, but they don't like each other. It's your job to help them appeal to each other

She is completely immortal and cannot die from wounds, old age, sickness, anything. She will regenerate from a single atom if reduced to that state and the immortality will continue until True World Peace (No Murder or Rape or Torture by a human on a fellow human) is achieved for a whole year. Only then she is made mortal.

If that is impossible then can this be accomplished if she can choose 9 other people to be immortal alongside her? And/or she can do all the miracles Jesus Christ could reportedly do in the Bible giving her faux legitimacy? Like turning water to wine.

Edit: Edited out no physical violence upon a fellow person as the definition of world peace- Too unrealistic.

You HAVE to get to work (otherwise a cyber demon will spawn in your room and then its game over). no calling in sick, no medical leave. Survive route 66, get to work, get paid, survive the drive home.

Doomguy is in hell so he's not on call.

Correction: not at a, it's at least one

other than that, loophole away.

Your car comes with the BFG already mounted to the dash. however, the demons have a very, VERY high health pool (normally it takes 2 but due to the disparity, you need 8 and the charge is drawn from your car battery)

Scientists experimenting with a quantum computer accidentally trigger a worldwide phenomenon while researching the quantum teleportation of human DNA.

From that moment onward, every newly conceived human embryo is exchanged with another embryo somewhere in the world before implantation.

The effect is permanent. Scientists announce their discovery to the public after a short delay. Unfortunately, reversing the phenomenon would risk destroying the entire universe.

How it works:

• Every exchange involves exactly two pregnant women. Their embryos swap places during the earliest stage of pregnancy, before implantation.
• The women can live anywhere in the world. Distance, nationality, ethnicity, and ancestry have no effect on who gets paired with whom.
• The exchange is reciprocal. If an American woman receives a Chinese couple's embryo, that same Chinese woman receives the American couple's embryo.
• Each embryo is exchanged only once. After implantation, pregnancy proceeds normally.
• The children retain their original DNA. Their genetic parents can be identified through DNA testing.
• The pregnancy works like ordinary gestational surrogacy. The woman carrying the baby does not change its genetic ancestry, but her health, nutrition, and prenatal care can affect its development.
• The exchange itself causes no medical complications. All the usual risks of pregnancy still apply.

Imagine you're an American couple expecting your first child.

Your baby is born with East Asian ancestry, even though neither of you has that ancestry. DNA testing confirms that the child is biologically unrelated to either of you.

However, thanks to the reciprocal exchange, you know that the woman carrying your biological child is the same woman whose child you just delivered.

That gives you a clue. If the baby has Chinese ancestry, its biological parents may live in China, although they could also live anywhere else in the world.

You can register the child's DNA, search international databases, and try to find the other family.

But there's a problem.

What if the other family doesn't want to exchange children? What if they love the baby they gave birth to and have no interest in finding their biological child?

What if you want your biological baby back, but you've already grown attached to the child you've been raising?

And what happens when the two families have radically different living conditions? Your biological child might be developing in a well-equipped hospital or in a region affected by famine, where the pregnant woman cannot obtain adequate nutrition.

What would you do?

Would you raise the child you gave birth to, or immediately begin searching for the other family to arrange an exchange?
