1. It now takes you 45 minutes longer to get anywhere

2. You only have a total of 5 hours of electricity per day in your home

3. You have too much saliva and are constantly and noticeably drooling

4. You must stay in the shower/bath for either 2 minutes or 2 hours no in between

5. You have a constant itchy feeling underneath the skin on your hand

These are all permanent and cannot be fixed or repaired, once you choose you are stuck with it.

Which inconvenient curse would you pick if any?

- Anyone who deeply hates you feels an irresistible urge to slap you the first time they see you each day.

- If you slap them back, or touch them or their clothes in any way in that day, you lose all the money you've earned from this deal, including anything you bought with it.

- It only happens once a day per person. After the first slap, they can't slap you again until the next day.

- They must see you in person within 20 meters. Photos, videos and video calls don't count.

- The slap hurts, but it never causes lasting injury.

- You can pay $17/minute for the HateRadar app, which shows everyone within 1 km who deeply hates you.

- You can deactivate this curse anytime, but you can never reactivate it.

Would you take this curse?

You are offered 0.1 euro (0.11 usd) for every minute you don't look at a screen. (Legally, tax free etc). There are rules of course:

-Sleep time does not count, and at least 8 hours per day are counted as sleep.

-Projectors, movie theaters, ebook readers, smartatches, handheld gaming etc also count as screens. No loopholes.

-If you look at a screen even accidentally for a second, then the minute is not counted. Minutes start at xx:00 and end on xx:59.

-Mechanical wrist watches, books and live theater are allowed.

There are no downsides to this, so you get SOME free money.

My interest is, how do you go about your day given this motivation? Do you adjust your habits and how?

Note: max amount per month is 2880 euros/3215 usd

You’re offered $5 million, tax-free, to work at a large corporate office for 90 days.
The catch? You must consistently be the least productive employee in your department without getting fired.

You’re given a legitimate entry-level office job that you’re fully qualified to perform. Your department has 10 employees, including you, and everyone believes you’re just another regular employee.

The rules:

You must work your normal scheduled hours, attend required meetings, and follow company policies.

You must rank dead last in measurable productivity every single week. If you finish even one week above another employee, you immediately lose the challenge.

Your manager receives a weekly productivity report ranking all 10 employees, so they know exactly how poorly you’re performing.

You cannot deliberately sabotage projects, interfere with coworkers, or manipulate anyone else’s productivity.

You cannot use vacation, sick leave, or other absences to avoid working.

You cannot reveal the challenge, bribe anyone, or offer incentives to keep your job.

Your coworkers and management have no knowledge of the challenge. You’re treated exactly like any other employee.

If you’re fired, quit, or transferred to another department before the 90 days are over, you lose.

If you survive the full 90 days while finishing last in productivity every week, you walk away with $5 million, tax-free, plus your regular salary.

What’s your strategy? How do you convince your boss to keep you around when they know you’re consistently the worst performer in the department?

You can grow taller, but it’ll cost you, every 10cm you gain you lose 5 IQ points. Also one of your hairs turns completely white!

You gain 5% more muscle mass and 4% less fat but if you are a man, lose half an inch of your peepee. For the women, you gain a small bald spot!

You gain 10% more stamina but, if you’re a man you lose 5 cm of your height and if you are a woman you grow taller by 10cm!

You are 20% more charismatic, but sometimes people near you start speaking in your voice, sentence for sentence, without realizing it. After a while, they will start saying words you've never learned, and the air in the room feels wrong every time they do.

You get 30.000 € in cash, legal BUT your pet dies violently. If you don’t have a pet, your appendix bursts.

You never need more than 4.5 hours of sleep, but you lose all your dreams, and if you're a parent, your kid's dreams too.

You are 10% more beautiful, but you're no longer sure the person everyone is looking at is you.

You can switch genders whenever you want, as many times as you like, but every time you do, you lose the ability to find your car keys for exactly one week.

You are free to mix and match! You can also take an offer multiple times!

This is a well known reality TV show and the money is legit.

As for being portrayed negatively, you won't do anything illegal on the show, but you will be portrayed as a bad person/villain. As a result, thousands upon thousands of people will take to online to write mean comments about you. You will also lose your current job as a result of your actions on the show.

Do you accept to be on the show or do you turn it down?

A genie come and give you a choice, 2 quite similar abilities, you can only pick one.

- Ability to heal a person sickness/disease/injury, but only 25% better. They're still sick, but are quite better compare then before.

- Ability to completely heal sickess/disease/injury. The target will healed back to normal, but it's only working on animal, not on human. (No 'human is technically animal' here)

- You can use this ability once per day.
- You can't use it to same target in succession, there's cooldown 1 month to use it against the same target.

Then, which ability you want to pick ?

You receive $1 billion, tax-free, immediately.
In exchange, once a year, at a completely random moment, you're transported into one of Jigsaw's games.
The rules:
You forget the deal. The moment the game begins, all memories of accepting this offer, previous games, or knowing you're safe disappear. You genuinely believe you've been kidnapped by a psychopath who intends to kill you.
Everything is real. The traps, the pain, the injuries, the fear. You're forced to solve puzzles and make horrific decisions to survive. The games are just as brutal as those in the SAW movies.
Nobody else gets hurt. Some games involve other people, or force you to choose between your life and theirs. They aren't real people, but inside the game you have no way of knowing that.
You can die. If a trap kills you, you experience it as a real death. However, when the game ends, you wake up perfectly healthy in the real world. You have no idea this will happen while playing.
Each game lasts a maximum of 24 hours. Escape early and you're released early. Die, and you'll wake up when the game is over.
Time freezes outside the game. Whether you spend 5 minutes or 24 hours inside, you return to the exact moment you disappeared. All injuries are reversed.
You can't tip yourself off. Anything you set up to remind yourself of the deal is destroyed the moment the game begins. A tattoo saying "It's not real, let the trap kill you and you'll wake up" simply vanishes from your skin. Notes, recordings, implants, prearranged signals: all gone.
You remember everything afterward. Every trap, every injury, every moment of terror, even your own death.
But here's the twist:
After each game, you can pay $25 million to permanently erase your memories of that game.
You'll still remember that you went through something absolutely horrific, but none of the details. No memories of the pain, no images of the traps, no flashbacks.
You make this decision immediately after each game, while the experience is still fresh in your mind.
The deal lasts for the rest of your natural life. You cannot quit, return the money, or skip a year.

The genie won't grant you omnipotence, any reality or time altering powers, or any power that gives you knowledge of future events. Other than that, the genie will grant you any power that doesn't interfere with 100 random people gaining the same power after 1 year and being able to use it as you would.

What superpower do you wish for?

you almost one two, four of a kind only for the unholy bastard to pull a royal flush.

Shotgunner btw. Yes you have advanced warning, no you are not limited by tech constraints.

you can do everything except use god mode. if it makes you feel any better, it's on nightmare mode

The game DOOM, not the upcoming avengers movie

They can deliver it to any location in our solar system. We can have it impact any celestial body at a chosen location or place it in orbit around one.

50% of the asteroid's mass consists of alien propulsion and navigation equipment. The other 50% can consist of any elements or substances known to science, in whatever proportions we choose.

The payload can be layered or protected with other materials, but all protective materials count toward the 50% limit.

Once delivered, the alien equipment becomes permanently inactive and cannot be reverse-engineered. We receive no further assistance.

Everything follows normal physics, including the consequences of an impact and the long-term stability of any orbit.

What size, composition, and destination would you choose?

Edit: To clarify, humanity chooses the exact elements and substances, which must be known to human science. The aliens only deliver what we request. Protective layers are allowed, but functioning equipment, manufactured devices, and encoded information are not. The No Loopholes rule applies.

.... Disappear.

You're walking thru a park in the middle of the day near your home when a stranger walks up to you and offers you a deal.

They will give you 120k to disappear for one year. You're allowed to go home and get 7 items from your home, but not allowed to give any information to anyone on what you are about to do or will be doing for the next year. Your family, friends, work, nobody knows where your going or why you did it. Your also not allowed to contact them for entire time or on the lam also. You must actively avoid entanglements with law enforcement also.

A limo will be parked in front of your home and will take you anywhere within 500 miles of where you live. You have 1 hour to get in the limo and leave, the 120k will be waiting for you in cash on the seat.

You can spend the 120k however you want but it must be done anonymously. You can pay the mortgage, send money to a loved one or blow it all on hookers and blow.

At the end of the year you get a million dollars and for every month afterwards that you disappear you get a extra 25k.

Do you take the deal ? If so how long do you disappear for ? And what do you do while on the lam ?

The fine print .....

If you break any of the rules or give up during the challenge you are required to pay back a prorated portion of the money you spend. For instance if you're gone for 6 months it's 60k at credit card interest rates and bankruptcy is not a option ....

You are giving a one time deposit of $10 millon usd or the equivalent in any currency of your choice. Taxes are already pad on it so you get the full amount.

But for the rest of your life you have to geather your own food. For vegetables and fruits you have to grow and harvest them. Then process them. For meat you either raise it or hunt it, but you have to do the butchering. For fish you have to catch and process them.

You will be provided with one ten pound bag of salt a year, along with five gallons of white vinegar. Any other spices you have to grow yourself. Same with sauces.

Edit: as a lot of people have commented the concern. I will add you get one year to prepare before hand.

You have 1 teleport pad in your house and 1 more at any location you want. If it’s inside a structure, you can teleport to that place, but can’t go outside. If it’s outside somewhere you can go anywhere connected but can’t go inside.
You can’t be harmed using the teleporter and you can bring whatever you can carry. You can use the teleporter every 4 hours, but can never change the location of either teleporter.
Nobody else can use your teleporter and you can’t use someone else’s.
Where is the location of your other teleporter and why would you have it in that location?

Editing to clarify you can use the teleporter to go back and forth, but can only be used every 4 hours.

Later, you are summoned to the King's court where you learn the one you helped was the Princess or Prince (your choice).

The king thanks you for your help and tells you he will grant you any request ranging from giving you land of your own to learning magic to marrying the Prince(ess).

What do you ask of the king?

You don’t have memories from the time you spent in the future, but you do have the knowledge and skills you attained.

You're in your house. Michael Myers just busted down your front door. He is looking for you. Where are you hiding for the 10 minutes it takes for the cops to arrive?

If yes, you will be instantly transported to a separate dimension composed solely of one room. In this room, there is a single bag of rice weighing 1 kg or a bit more than 2 pounds. You will need to count the exact amount of rice grains present in this bag. If you miscount, you will have to restart, but you will not remember any of your past counts. You cannot leave until you get the right count. Once you count a rice grain, it disappears until you make your final guess, upon which all grains will reappear if you guessed incorrectly.

Time will continue passing in the real world while you stay in this dimension. You will age as normal. If you fail to complete the task before the day you would have died, you will be informed, and as soon as you complete the task you will instantly die. Otherwise you will remain there until you get the right count.

How long do you think it would take? Is it worth it for a million bucks?

$20 million, tax-free, instantly deposited into your bank account.

The price? For the rest of your life, every dog that sees you will immediately become obsessed with killing you.

A Chihuahua, a Golden Retriever, a police dog, even your own dog. No exceptions.
Dogs don’t gain superpowers, but they’ll do everything physically possible to reach and attack you. Once they lose sight of you, they return to normal.
Photos and videos don’t count. The effect is permanent.
Are you taking the money? How would you live?

For the rest of your life, your ability to learn skills and acquire knowledge is accelerated and is tied only to hours spent studying and learning. The learning does not need to be in one hour blocks, any time spent learning will contribute towards your goal. However, the learning does need to be of good quality – focussed, goal-oriented, and pushing the limit of current skill levels. It is likely that you will need outside support to achieve good quality of learning, including reading materials, online research, peer support and coaching. If you spend an hour on poor quality self-directed learning, you might only gain a few minutes of progress.

This applies to every domain in which you apply yourself, and you can choose to develop as many skills as you wish. You are not limited by natural aptitude - if you put in the time, you will achieve the goal. However there are no miracles or superskills.

You will see incremental improvements every 10 hours as you progress, but there will be a significant jump as you achieve each milestone.

After 50 hours, you are better than 50% of people who study this domain.

After 200 hours, you are in the top 20% of practitioners.

After 500 hours, you are in the top 2% of practitioners.

After 1500 hours, you are in the top 20 practitioners worldwide.

You will receive a handheld electronic advice where you can monitor your own progress in any domain, so you know how many hours you need to add to get to the next milestone. If you already have skills, the device will automatically rate your current level and place you relative to your next milestone. This might not reflect the actual hours spent learning previously, if your learning was ineffective.

You have to fund all of this by yourself, including your normal living costs. There are no shortcuts through normal progression, so for example if your goal is to become a top 20 F1 racing driver, you will have to start where you can afford such as in karting, and progress through to where you can either afford to move up, or someone will sponsor you at higher levels – you cannot start in an F1 car.

You can develop skills for any reason of your choosing – you can monetise, seek fame and adulation, progress human knowledge, or just for your own pleasure.

What are you putting the hours into?

Tomorrow morning, you wake up with a seemingly useless superpower.

You can make any nonliving object weigh exactly one pound (0.45 kg), regardless of its original weight.

The rules:

The effect lasts exactly 60 seconds before the object returns to its original weight.

The object retains its original size, shape, and properties, apart from its weight.

You can only use this ability once per hour.

You must physically touch the object to activate the ability.

You cannot use the ability on yourself or another living creature.

Nobody knows you have this ability unless you choose to tell them.

What’s the most creative way you’re exploiting this power?

Simple offer: 6x your current and future earnings or we can hang out for 50k per week (the hangouts are only 3 hours). If you choose the hangout, you’ll be teleported to my location and I’ll decide the activities; you can stop hanging out with me anytime you want.

No research, just what you know right now, you wake up on the bus to boot camp. You must parachute into France, and you must survive to the end of the war and achieve a Distinguished Service Cross. You're in the 101st Airbourne. This is a 4 year campaign. If you can make it out of France and invent drones with your knowledge, all the power to you, but if you invent your way out of your unit you fail and must live out the next 4 years anyway.

Every time you die, and let's hope you die quickly, you wake up back on the bus to basic. You will spend about 3 years in training before combat, so death is costly psychologically. You can not quit once you accept.

Once Germany surrenders, you come back to 2026 with 500 million USD, tax-free.

Is it worth the living hell?

JUST TO BE CLEAR you might have to spend 200 years in war and come out insane
