r/hypotheticalsituation

so,a Wizard comes and offers you a Curse/blessing and it is:

if you commit a crime (it can be any crime)

then you will face no consequences and the entire Concept of that Crime will disappear from the collective Human mind,you will also forget that the crime existed and the Crime will become physically impossible to do by anyone and no one will do it again

but you will remember how you did the crime

this means that you can end any crime you want to but you will live with the guilt of doing it forever

also,after committing three crimes

the Curse/blessing with expire and you will go back to your Normal life

which three crimes would you choose to do in order to Erase them?

The scenario - once every calendar year, at any point in the year, you will be 'jumpscared', similar to what you might see in a horror film.

This can happen at any point in the year without warning, and can take any form (e.g. you may be tucking yourself into bed at night and will spot a faceless figure standing at the end of your bed, or you may close your bathroom mirror and see a a person standing behind you). The person will never hurt you, and will simply disappear after the scare. Others cannot see the jumpscare.

Upon encountering your annual jumpscare, $50,000 is deposited into your account.

Would you do it?

Here's the offer. You get $10 million paid into your bank account. The catch? The very next morning, you wake up and you weigh a whopping 350 pounds.

The rules:

You CANNOT go on the GLP jabs at any time (no ozempic, mounjaro, wegovy, etc), or you will lose all the money. You also cannot have gastric surgery. The only way you can lose the weight is through diet and exercise. Your body will behave as if it's been morbidly obese for at least five years (rather than overnight) although you will not have any issues preventing you from exercising. To drop the weight, you will also have to overcome a five year food addiction, so the challenge will be both physical and psychological.

What do you say? Deal?

Starting from RIGHT NOW, you have 1 Week, to steal SOMETHING.

Whatever you steal, He will trade it to you for 1,000 the amount it cost to buy it. You can steal it from ANYWHERE but your household.

What would you steal and from where?

You would receive 250 million dollars, no tax or anything, but for the rest of your life, on a random time on a random day of the month the room your present in, no matter what size the room is, will become weightless/without gravity for up to 1 hour, everything and everyone present in the room will become weightless but after the hour, gravity in that specific spot will return.

if your standing outside for example, the surrounding area around you that would be affected/weightless would be 50 feet of the area around you. everything else past that won't be affected.

but if you're standing in a closed stadium, or in a office space, the surrounding area/room (not the whole building) the room and area around you will become weightless.

Would you take this offer?

You’re allowed to permanently upgrade one core human trait to 200% of peak human potential.

But to balance it out, you must permanently reduce one different trait to 50%.

This applies for life.

You can choose from:

Intelligence (learning speed, memory, processing ability)

Physical Strength

Charisma (social influence, likability, persuasion)

Speed

Endurance / Stamina

Examples:

200% Intelligence but 50% Charisma

200% Strength but 50% Intelligence

What combination are you picking

Inspired by another hypothetical about what would happen if Earth stopped rotating, I want to know: what would happen if the Earth stopped orbiting and became locked in one place on its existing orbital path?

In this hypothetical Earth would still rotate as normal, but we would lose all ties to the 'year' or the seasons. What might happen? To our environment? To humans?

This is a deal you can't say no to. A supernatural being has forced you into it, but at least they're offering a prize for your pain.

You will be subject to one from of torture. You are allowed to choose the method, but it must be a real form of torture used at some point in human history. You arent allowed to cheat and choose something that would end very quickly/with little pain (for example the guillotine wouldn't count, something that wouldnt be a significant mental/physical challenge for just 1 day wouldnt count)

The being will teleport you back in time to when it was happening, or to the place if its a modern form, and you will be accused of a crime bad enough to be punished with that torture. You will experience the torture until you die, or if its not something that kills you, for 1 full day.

The prize for going through this is enough money to last your whole life. You will never have to worry about bills or expenses of any kind again and will magically have enough money to buy anything you need. You cant use this ability to buy a mansion or live a very extravagant life, but you will be able to support any upper-middle class lifestyle for free, and can choose to work for more money if you want to try and get rich.

But, the being also offers you an alternative. You can give up the infinite money prize, and instead take $1.5 million. One time payout of tax free money that doesnt replenish, so you'll probably have to work again.

In exchange, after the torture is done, you will have no memory of it whatsoever. It will be as if it never happened then you'll just wake up one day knowing logically you did the deal, and with $1.5 million.

Either way, you will come back physically unharmed, but if you choose unlimited money all mental trauma stays.

Are you forgetting it?

(if you thought you saw this post before you probably did, re-uploaded for typo in title)

You arrive instantly and safely at the speed of light, but your brain needs to "reboot." For 10 minutes, you’re a frozen statue completely paralyzed and unaware while your consciousness catches up to your body. You're a total sitting duck wherever you land

There are two buttons. You can only press one of them.

Button One.

You get 500 million dollars tax free, no one questions anything.

Button Two.

You get 1 billion dollars but your sex changes. And by this I mean if you are biologically a woman, you turn into a man. You won't have Gender Dsyphoria but you will remember being the opposite sex and have to adjust to your new body.

You'll just be you but the opposite sex. So if you're a tall man you'll be a tall woman, if you're skinny you'll still be skinny, if you're mildly attracitve you'll still be mildly attractive. Everyone will question why you're the opposite gender.

Depending on which button you press, what do you do with the money?

You are offered $15 million USD. However, if you accept the money, you take on a curse for the rest of your life. Whenever you are outside, you will have a severe fear response whenever you see a bird come within 15 feet of you.

- When outside, if you see a bird come within 15 feet of you, you will have an unavoidable and uncontrollable fear response. You will immediately begin screaming and fall to the ground. The fear response will last 5 seconds or as long as the bird remains within 15 feet of you, whichever is longer.

- The curse does not apply when inside of a building (4 walls and a ceiling).

Do you accept?

In the first scenario, your partner is the actual one you have now. They are the same person you experienced everything with. They have no memory of you existing, but remember everything else. If children are involved, your partner's fake memories are of being a single parent. You can show them proof of your marriage and convince them to grow a life with you but they would do it from a blank slate. There is no chance of the memories returning.

Alternatively, your real partner moves on and is replaced by one from another dimension. This partner has all the memories your real one would have had before the amnesia. In this scenario, any children, family members and friends would be unaware of the switch, unless you told them.

Which would you choose?

Basically what would you do if cutting hair was not part of a cultural norm outside of emergencies like industrial accidents, cancer , brain surgery and the like?

5. Indie Band guy (Guy who tries too hard on his indie band, will practice music when you are trying to sleep)

You come across a situation where you're offered a one month fully paid for trip to be gifted to a young loved one of yours to anywhere you choose (one two way flight, but as many trains/ferry passes as you'd like)

But you cannot take this trip yourself. This trip is to be given to your child/grandchild or someone who you view in a similar light, once they turn 18. The person who will receive this trip must go on it alone, and you cannot ask for their opinion as to where they would like to travel - they must have no knowledge of this gift until the moment comes

The child can be currently alive or yet to be born, as long as they are not yet 18. If you have a loved one who has passed away as a child, the trip can also be given to them. It's a hypothetical situation after all

What trip do you choose for them, and why?

What do you think they would do there? Do you choose based on enjoyment, growth, learning?

Edit: if you have multiple kids, assume each one of them can benefit from this deal to avoid jealousy

Edit 2: this trip is mandatory, but you can activate the deal within one month of the child's birthday (but again, they must not know about the trip)

Edit 3: reminding everyone that the trip is to be taken ALONE by your loved one once they become an adult!

One day, a ghost appears somewhere in a random city. The ghost begins screaming at 0 decibels, but every month his scream intensifies by 1 decibel and this will keep increasing every month. He will also never stop screaming and the noise will be constant. The ghost cannot be removed or reasoned with, however it is possible to move the ghost but he weighs 1 ton. How would we deal with this ghost since if the noise keeps increasing every month forever?

you see a genie and he turns you into a cat. he then tells you that he will retrun you to human form, but he's lazy and does it one aspect at a time, so he'll only return 5 aspects before he leaves. what 5 aspcets are you picking? (he can also change your biological gender at no charge if you wish.)
