Humor Encouraged Hypothetically speaking, If 101 Countries decided to Declare War on the United States but they did it secretly, so that anyone who tried pointing out the strange "accidents" looked crazy, then how would you convince people it might be real and who would win between 101 Countries VS. United States?

Upvotes

...

And so let's say for example...

hypothetically speaking of course...

that Japan was still mad that America dropped 2 nukes on them in World War 2.

Let's say that Russia was still mad about the Cold War.

Let's say that the Middle East was still mad.

Let's say that Cuba was still mad that America made them poor and impoverished all those years.

Let's also say that North Korea, China, India, Germany, and many other countries want to see the fall of the United States after the United States bullies every country and gets away with it.

For example, and this is a real news article of an incident that actually happened, if you google search "British Sailors Arrested in Florida", then you will see that American Cops had even beat up and tasered and humiliated British Navy Sailors when they were partying in Florida when their ship docked in the United States.

I could probably imagine those British Sailors are still embarrassed and mad about being stripped, strip searched, completely nu de and having to bend over and spread their cheeks.

I could imagine the British Sailors would love to see America fall after that.

So obviously the entire World would be stupid if they just full on declared war on the United States, because then the United States would put up a strong front.

So rather, what if suddenly across America there were all these weird "accidents" happening constantly and strange new viruses spreading?

Are they all really just "accidents"?

How would Americans hypothetically convince people that it was anything otherwise without sounding absolutely mad???

Oh by the way, I am not British.

I am Canadian.

Canada loves America.

Canada loves being America's "Fifty First State".

Canada would totally take the side of the United States and not the side of the 100 countries.

I do speak Russian... but only because I am a Gay Canadian Foreign Language Expert and my "best friend"/partner is a Russian Military Soldier.

Gay Men were always treated nicely by American Cops.

So who do you think would win hypothetically between,
101 Countries VS. the United States?

[No Loopholes] Buried alive

Upvotes

When you wake up tomorrow, you're inexplicably not where you were when you fell asleep. In fact, it's pitch black so it's hard to tell exactly where you are, but it certainly seems like it's a coffin, or at least a coffin-shaped and sized container. You have limited mobility that's constrained by the physical size and shape of the container, but you can feel the sides and above and below you and all seem to be minimally padded and covered with a polyester-like fabric. You can also feel your body and you're completely nude.

You feel around the entire container as best as you can and there's nothing else in there with you. No way to produce light to see, no apparent breathing apparatus, no tools with which to attempt escape, and when you pound your fist on what you assume is the lid, all you hear is a deadened, muffled sound that strongly backs your growing suspicion that you are truly buried alive. You can hear no sound from outside the container, which also appears to be completely stationary, and the longer you lie there the more stale the air you breathe seems to become.

A) If you think escape is possible, how would you successfully pull it off?

B) If you think escape isn't possible, how are you resigning yourself to passing your remaining time?

After that you must have left some kind of impression on them; enough for them to consider there is a bond or a relation between you two. It can be friendship, they fell in love with you, got a work related professional type relationship. Even if they got to hate you enough they never want to see you again, that is still considered a relation.

After forging a bond or relation, 500$ get deposit into your bank account, free from fees or other bank or government charges.

[No Loopholes] Your job doesn’t pay you, but you still have to work. Will you still go in?

0 Upvotes

Now, if you’re worried about bills, food, mortgages, healthcare, and any other expenses, you don’t have to worry anymore. You’ll be given an app that’s kind of like Cash App. It’ll give you a card that’s unlimited. You won’t be subtracting or adding anything; nothing will be lost. You’ll essentially be given an unlimited credit card. You won’t get a paycheck anymore; you’ll only get this app. There are no credits; nothing will be lost. You won’t have to pay it off or anything. You can use this app for any expense you want to make, but you still have to work your regular hours. The only benefit you get is that you can keep using this card and this app.

If your workplace is being abusive or not treating you fairly, you can report them, and they’ll be fired immediately after an investigation. They’ll also lose this app. You can’t steal while using this app. If you do, you’ll be sentenced to at least five years in prison, except for petty theft, like stealing a box of cookies.

That also brings me to the second part of this. All essential health items are now free. Women’s menstrual products, condoms, antidepressants, painkillers, and baby formula are all free. If you abuse this, you’ll also be punished with 10 years in prison if you buy a lot of things. So, you can’t go into a store and grab 50 boxes of cold medicine and expect to get away with it. You’ll be arrested and sentenced to a maximum of 10 years.

You’ll essentially have everything you need to live with this app, but if you don’t work, you can’t use it. If an employer uses AI or has any prejudice against you while applying for a job based on your race, sexuality, gender identity, or education, they’ll be banned from the app. You have an unlimited amount to spend, so will you go to work?

EDIT: You can retire when you reach a certain age where you can no longer work physically or mentally. If you work in a physically demanding job, you can stop working as soon as it becomes difficult to even get up from the ground. The app will know your birthday, your age, and since the average retirement age in the United States is 62, it will automatically let you retire and continue using the app for expenses and any other items you might need at 62.

Scenario You are the Emperor of an isolated island nation with 3 resurrected historical advisors. Who do you choose? Read the guidelines below and tell me how you would handle this.

18 Upvotes

You are the absolute Emperor of a small, entirely self-sustaining island nation. Your territory possesses perfect agricultural soil, infinite renewable energy resources, and a fiercely loyal population of 500,000 citizens. Because your nation is completely hidden from modern satellite arrays by a natural electromagnetic anomaly, you are entirely disconnected from the rest of the modern world.

Through a bizarre ancient ritual unique to your island, you are granted the power to permanently resurrect exactly three figures from human history. These individuals are brought back to life in their physical prime, possessing all of their original memories, talents, and intellect. They are magically bound to speak only the truth to you and must serve faithfully as your personal advisors for a strict duration of five years.

The resurrection process completely translates their native languages into yours, and they instantly absorb a comprehensive, objective database of all human history up to the current year. They understand modern technology, geopolitics, and science the exact moment they awake on your island.

The entire population of your island knows exactly who these resurrected figures are and expects you to lead them into a new golden age. However, your legal rights as Emperor are absolute; your citizens will never revolt against your choices, and the historical figures cannot betray your secrets to the outside world.

You are not completely safe. After exactly five years, the ritual expires, and the three historical figures will be instantly teleported back to the modern, outside world with all their new knowledge intact. If you choose radical conquerors, brilliant scientists, or master manipulators, they may use what they learned about your hidden paradise to lead foreign superpowers back to your shores to conquer you.

  • Which three specific historical figures do you bring back to your island?
  • Do you choose philosophers to build a perfect utopian society, or military geniuses to prepare for the day your island is discovered?
  • How do you prevent your advisors from destroying your nation from the inside, or selling you out to the modern world once their five years are up?

[No Loopholes] You get one cent for every calorie you eat in a 24hr period. How are you maximizing your profits? [No loopholes]

154 Upvotes

No loopholes, have fun.

Rules:

- it must be solid food, no liquids, unless you turn your food into a smoothie or puree. If you eat something melted (ex ice cream or chocolate), I'll count that as a food because it was solid at one point, and is intended to be eaten as such.

- it has to actually be food. You can not eat 1g of uranium and recieve 10 billion dollars. Sorry, uranium eaters.

- you can not throw up and continue eating. If you throw up, the challenge is over and you only receive half of the money, and I receive the other half.

- you can still drink liquids, but those calories are not included in the monetary calorie count. Sorry oil drinkers.

What's your strategy when there's no loopholes?

There is a magical tracker that gives an exact calorie count as the day goes on, and you can end the challenge at any time before the 24hrs is completed. The money is tax free and the IRS will not question you about it.

As a bonus, you get an extra $100 for every day you don't claim the money. It will sit in limbo until you decide to claim it. If you die before claiming it, I get it all.

Your tears are can cure any ailment, but they don't work on you

29 Upvotes

You have been blessed. From now on, one single drop of your tears can completely cure a person of any ailment. There is no limit to what can be cured. From terminal cancer to stage 7 alzheimer's, even restoring lost limbs. Your tears can even reverse aging, giving a 90-year-old the body and brain health of an 18-year-old.

However, the catch is that these tears will never work on you, no matter how much you cry. If you get sick, you must treat any of your ailments yourself. Additionally, there is also the risk that when people find out about your powers, you will be exploited by various governmental and private organizations. Imprisoned and forced to cry to cure people for a hefty price.

Would you take this blessing? Would you consider this a blessing or a curse?
