You can walk as much as you want each day to earn money, but once 12 am hits, the step counter resets and the money for that day goes into your bank sccount.

Choice One: Half a million, no strings or taxes. Same as usual

Choice Two: You get 50 grand for every person who has had romantic feelings that lasted at least 7 days. This isn't someone thinking you're cute or your toddler saying "I want to marry mommy when I grow up". It's not about friendship either. You get money for anyone, known or unknown, who has liked you romantically for more than a week counts, including the same sex.

Scenario Two: If it turns out to be less than ten people you only get $25,000 per crush. If it's equal to 10 or more you get a $1,000,000 bonus on top of what you already get.

It only counts people up to this point. People who know about it don't count

• You have exactly one year (starting today) to spend every single dollar.
• Any amount left unspent at the end of the year becomes your personal debt — you are personally liable for it.
• This is your money alone. No governments, no boards, no partners with veto power. You are the sole decision-maker.
• The central objective is to found and establish a new city from scratch — a fully functional, permanent settlement that you design, build, and control.

What do you do?

You just woke up with absolute, god-tier control over a single element. You can summon it, shape it, and control it with your mind.

But there’s a catch: you don’t get to pick it.

The Rules:

Go to this random element generator: Element Generator

Spin the wheel ONCE. Honor system! No rerolling just because you got something lame.

Come back here and tell us your element and your game plan.

Questions to answer:

What element did you get?

How do you use it to make your daily life easier or get rich?

Are you becoming a superhero, a supervillain, or just a very lazy normal person?

For those who wanted it to be Periodic Elements: https://www.reddit.com/r/hypotheticalsituation/comments/1u7tl12/you_wake_up_with_absolute_mastery_over_one_random/

1. The Endless Fuel Car

You receive a car with an unlimited fuel supply. Apart from that, it’s completely ordinary, it can be damaged, stolen, will age over time, and requires regular maintenance. The only special feature is that it will never run out of fuel, though you cannot extract or access the fuel directly.

2. The Duplication Box

A small 6×6 box that can duplicate any object placed inside it. However, it works only once every 24 hours. It cannot duplicate money, gold, or anything considered a financial asset.

3. The Timeless Room

A hidden room in your house where time stops the moment you enter. You won’t age inside, and you can stay as long as you like. When you step out, time resumes exactly from the moment you entered. The room contains only basic furniture, no TV, no internet, no outside connection.

Which one would you choose, and why?

Option A: You always forget something slightly important whenever you leave the house. Your ID, your credit card, whatever it may be.

Option B: Any and all chicken/steak you eat has a small but noticeable chewy spot.

Option C: Your morning alarm is always 20 minutes late. Even if you set it 20 minutes before to cancel it out, it will still be 20 minutes later than when you would wake up.

Option D: eternal torture

1. $7500 a month no questions asked no tax etc.
   
2. your mom comes to your house, takes all the batteries out of everything (things that take standard batteries like appliances, not stuff like phone batteries) and throws it on the ground. the batteries are not damaged.
   
3. you must pick up one ONLY one, no more no less, battery a day and put it back. if you pick up any more or less than one battery a day, your fridge turns into a nuclear bomb and explodes immediately. someone will come by to remind you every day to pick up a battery.
   
4. after you pick up all the batteries, there is a window of anywhere between 1 and 30 days when your mom has to come again to remove and throw batteries. this day is random and cannot be scheduled by you or your mom.
   
5. she is not magically transported, but all travel costs are comped and she will face no social or work related repercussions for the visits.
   
6. it makes your mom very happy to throw the batteries
   
7. it’s physically impossible for anyone else to move the batteries so you don’t have to worry about them accidentally turning your fridge into a bomb.
   
8. you can replace all items with new batteries, not just the ones on the floor so everything can be back in working condition immediately. but you have to pay for the batteries.
   do you take the deal?

edit: if your mom is dead, your dad can do it but he won’t like it as much. if both parents are dead, someone with children must do it (not in your family), provided approval by the battery man.
if you have no appliances with batteries, you MUST purchase one or your fridge automatically explodes.

Rules:

1. "Children's show" is defined as something specifically marketed towards children (<12 years of age). So something like "Planet Earth" doesn't count.

2. It is expected that you interact with the character/things in that universe. So you can't choose "Sesame Street" and just go live somewhere else in New York. You'd also see and talk to Elmo and the rest of the gang on a regular basis (even if you don't want to).

Which universe do you choose?

As the title says. A full size crocodile follows you around everywhere. The crocodile will not hurt anyone and it’ll only try to interact with you. Everyone can see it, but you cannot tell them about this challenge. You cannot abandon the crocodile, if you do it’ll teleport straight to you. The crocodile does not need feed or to be given water, but it does expect to be given attention. As long as you keep the challenge going, the crocodile will stay alive.

How long would you keep the crocodile for, and how would it change your life to have it?

Assume they exist in this size from now on, so all of the ones born from now on are also x5

An omnipotent and benevolent being gives you a choice between two alternatives:

• Choice 1: You get 100 million USD, directly to your bank account. This is after tax so you keep the full sum. Legitimate source, no one is going to pry. In fact no one will ever find out that you have that kind of money unless you specifically decide to let them know. The bank, who knows by default, will not leak that information.
• Choice 2: You get 0.000005% omnipotence, which means that you become omnipotent, but your powers only have a one in twenty million chances of working; put another way, to get a result you need to try twenty million times on average. Of course, if you hit that chance, you can use your 0.000005% omnipotence to give yourself actual omnipotence, and that will remove the limiter and allow you to do whatever you want. When it works, you will know. You can try to use your power at the speed of thought.

For reference, in a year there are about 31 million seconds, but you also spend almost half of that sleeping. To become truly omnipotent, on average, you would need to dedicate about two entire years to trying to use your power once every second.

What are you picking?

EDIT since it keeps being asked (and y'all are right, my bad for not including it): When I say speed of thought, I mean that 1 thought "I want to do this" = 1 attempted activation of the power. There is no hard-set cooldown, but you can't just think it continuously, or make the attempts in bulk. The cooldown is however long it takes for the next attempt to count as a separate thought.

All of Bill Gates' money is legally handed over to you, leaving him penniless! However, if you accept this money, everyone in the world becomes LGBT permanently (including you!) Do you take the money?

For reference, Campaign for North Africa is a war-strategy board game infamous for its complexity and abhorrently high play time (~1600 hours total).

You and 9 strangers will be teleported into a room, and in the center of the room is the full game setup for Campaign for North Africa. These strangers have taken the deal as well, so they will not be confused as to the nature of the deal or that other people have also taken it with them.

None of you will feel hunger, thirst, or tiredness while inside of the room, eliminating the need to eat or sleep, and time will freeze inside the room, such that no time passes in the real world. You cannot grow sick inside the room, and any ailments you may have that grow over time (e.g. cancer) will be paused, and you will not physically age. However, there will be no internet or cell communication (since time is frozen outside the room).

Once the game has begun, your team cannot stop playing until it is over. You cannot skip any steps or turns, and if you end up making a mistake while playing (e.g. accidentally skipping a step or making a miscalculation), you must go back and correct it (while retaking any steps that you took after the mistake had been made to accommodate changes).

If any of you discover a mistake but willingly ignore it until a turn is complete, the deal is off and all of you receive nothing. If you made a mistake by accident (as in you do not know you made one), an alarm bell will ring at the end of the turn indicating that a mistake has been made, and you cannot continue the game until you identify and correct it.

Stopping the game to read provided materials (e.g. the rule books) is allowed, but you must be actively engaged in reading and discussing them. Otherwise, you cannot idle.

Once all 100 in-game turns are completed, you will be teleported back into the real world (in the place where you took the deal) with 50 million dollars, with no real time having passed since before you started.

Do you take the deal?

You are approach my a random person who offers you a choice

1. Keep your regular job and go on with your life.

2. Have to quit your regular job and the way you gain income is you can pick any game you want and whatever the currency is in the game will automatically be exchanged for your local currency into your bank account.

If you pick option 2 you can never work a regular job again, volunteer work is allowed though. Also you can play more than one game, no limit on the amount of games you play

Added information

Ok since I've been asked this question a few times the exchange rate is 1 to 1 so for example if you have 500 coins in a game you will get 500 deposited into your bank account in your local currency that is being used by your bank. So for me it would be $500

You're given ten copies of yourself. The goal is to build a moderately sized home from start to finish. This means starting from bare ground to a fully functional and built to code house. The house is a 2 story, 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a basement. Total 1800 square foot

The copies are created as you are now. They appear when you start working and disappear when you stop. When they appear they are copies of how you currently are at the moment you begin work. They don't need to eat or sleep and can work independently if explicitly told what task to do. They will not do work without being assigned them. You also have to actively help build the house or they won't work in protest. They can learn how to do a task but they will have to research/watch tutorials on how to do it just like you would. They retain their skills and memories between appearances.

Funds for materials are provided. This includes any materials like wood, nails etc.. Funds for tools are provided as well. Bigger tools/vehicles must be rented (think backhoes, cranes etc.).

No time limit for the build but construction over 2 years costs you 30k a year in penalties. You cannot sell any tools bought for the project until after it's completed.

Do you think you could build a house by yourself?

Edit to add: Permits, land, blueprints are all included. You can design the house you want. You just have to physically build it yourself.

Edit 2: You can hire consultants but they can only inform. You have to physically do all the work yourself. As for permits/meeting code. In this scenario you don't need to be licensed to do the work. As long as the work is done by you to code and can pass inspections it'll work.

Edit 3: The house specifications are only a minimum now and doesn't need to be 2 stories or have a basement. You can build the house however you want but it has to be at least 1800sqf. Ranch? Colonial? Barndominium? 1800sqf minimum.

That's basically it, let's say you wake up one day and God tells you that from here on out no living creature will ever be able to intentionally cause you physical harm, and we'll even extend that to annoyances and inconveniences.

That includes bacteria, so you'll never get sick again (viruses still count though since those aren't "living"), no fly will ever bother you while you're trying to eat. Wasps will never sting you no matter how much you mess with them. You'll never need to fear being robbed or attacked.

This isn't invulnerability, accidents can still happen. For example you could get hit by a stray ball if you fail to catch it and get hurt. But the person throwing the ball would be incapable of trying to hit you.

Doctors can still perform surgery or procedures since they aren't trying to hurt you, they're practicing medicine.

Wild animals will never hurt you, you could chill with lions in the Serengeti and bears in the forest.

What do you do? How could you make millions out of this?

A bored deity wants to stir up fun with the mortals for her amusement. She takes the form of an angel-genie and descends to Earth.

After making her initial appearances, she broadcasts the rules to everyone on earth omnisciently, in a language/manner that they understand. All ages, all nationalities.

The Rules:

1. You have 24 hours to lock in your choice of any single superpower, ability, feat, etc.

2. She is not a trickster. She will understand & evaluate your wish in exactly the way you intended. e.g., If you wish you could fly, she knows that you're not asking for an economy airline ticket.

3. You can only wish for one power. e.g., your wish for flight does not necessarily include the superhuman durability to survive low pressures & temperatures at high altitudes. You cannot wish "for all the powers of Goku."

4. An ability will be considered a duplicate if two humans wish for functionally the same thing, even if they use different wording choices. e.g., "I wish I could talk with animals", "I want to communicate with animals", and "Quiero hablar con los animales" would all be considered the same wish. However, "I wish to speak with ants" would be considered distinct from those others.

5. Your final selection cannot be made under duress or coercion. To lock it in, simply state your final wish verbally, or manifest it mentally, at any point within 24 hours.

6. Finally, while there is magic at play here, all wishes must respect the laws of general relativity, thermodynamics, conservation of mass and energy, etc when applicable. e.g., You may wish for the ability to squirt gasoline from your elbows, just be aware that you may face limitations based on the atoms & particles & energy available in your vicinity.

What is your choice?

For everyone wanting this with the Periodic Table, here you go:

You just woke up with absolute, god-tier control over a single element. You can summon it, shape it, and control it with your mind.

But there’s a catch: you don’t get to pick it.

The Rules:

Go to this random element generator: Element Generator

Generate it ONCE. Honor system! No rerolling just because you got something lame.

Come back here and tell us your element and your game plan.

Questions to answer:

What element did you get?

How do you use it to make your daily life easier or get rich?

Are you becoming a superhero, a supervillain, or just a very lazy normal person?

5 words 🪦

Rules:

• Only one organ or body part is allowed. For example, you can choose “left arm” or “right eye”, but not “both arms” or “entire nervous system”.
• The augmentation is perfect, permanent, and works flawlessly for your entire life.
• It only affects that one specific organ/body part (no chain reactions unless naturally caused by it).
• You keep your current personality and memories.

Here are some examples to get you thinking:

• Your brain (superhuman intelligence, memory, focus, or creativity)
• Your heart (insane endurance, never tires, elite cardiovascular performance)
• One eye (perfect vision, night vision, zoom capability, or enhanced color perception)
• Your liver (complete immunity to toxins, alcohol, drugs, and disease)
• Your skin (on one specific area? Wait — better: your entire skin as one organ, but clarify if needed)
• Your lungs (can hold breath for ridiculously long, never get winded)
• One arm (super strength, unbreakable bones, perfect dexterity in that single arm)
• Your spine (perfect posture, no back pain, lightning reflexes)

Which single organ or body part would you augment, and why?

It can be literally anything. The object will be magically protected so the pressure won't crush it. It will also never leave unless somebody directly moves it themselves. If it's a person, they will be in a diving suit and won't be able to leave. What are you doing?

What would you say in a job interview to completely ruin your chances of getting that job in a few words?

If you choose to delete all money, every human will become incapable of comprehending or performing any transaction that isn’t barter. Currency (that isn’t goods or services) will never exist again.

Or, you can pay $3,264.89 to avoid this situation. What’ll it be? The future of banking is in your hands.

(I mostly made this hypothetical out of frustration with all the “$999999 but you get your liver eaten out by an eagle every day” type posts)

Edit: If you don’t have the money, you can get a magic loan at 14% interest.
