You can talk to animals, but they all gossip about you
#5
You can see people’s life spans above their heads, but yours is hidden from you
StumblingThroughLife 1 month ago
Anyone who'd take this deal would have to see the life spans of their kids and family members. A world of Nope.
#6
You could travel to the end of the universe, but you’d never be able to tell anyone what you found
#7
You could control the weather, but it mirrors your mood - rain when you’re sad, storms when you’re angry
#8
You could turn invisible, but you leave behind a faint echo of your voice wherever you go

Great for people that know the art of "shutting the f**k up" I guess
#9
You can fix one mistake from your past, but you’ll forget one happy memory in return
#10
You could end world hunger, but every meal you eat for the rest of your life tastes like ash
Virgil Blue 1 month ago
For the benefit so many people? I think I'd go the "the needs of the many" road on this one
#11
You can read minds, but you can never turn them off
#12
You could predict the future perfectly, but you can’t convince anyone it’s true
#13
You could take away someone’s pain, but you’d feel it instead
#14
You get a perfect memory, but you can’t tell if you’re remembering or reliving
Virgil Blue 1 month ago
I have an Eideitic memory, so good it's pretty close to photographic. That's great at first I discovered, but after losing some loved ones and other trauma and discovering it also collects the emotions of that memory perfectly I wish there was a way to edit them like they so un some SF books.
#15
You could discover the meaning of life, but you’d lose all motivation to live it
#16
You could bring back someone you lost, but they return with no memory of you
Rika 1 month ago
Why do so many people say no ? I think it's nice to have a chance to "re-know" someone. If they loved you before they passed, they'll love you again.

Dead is dead. You’d only be bringing them back to make yourself feel better. That said, I’d love if my cat Mister reappeared.

Yes!! I'd bring back my late classmate from high school (he was 16 when he passed away). He was a wonderful kid, smart and thoughtful. He went to hiking trip on a difficult path in the mountains, he lost grip and fell to his d3ath. I don't care if he doesn't remember me. The world needs more people like him.

If he remembers his family my mom and dad and all others? I'd absolutely ressurect my brother as he was before his accident that eventually k****d him. It will be a long road, but we had so many common interests that I feel I could reconnect with him with the help of my family.

He died aged just 28. If it means his family got him back, I'd be fine with him not remembering me. Their loss is ten times more important than mine, or my feelings.

We have seen this movie and know important questions to ask before saying yes. 10 to 1 it ends badly.
Barong 1 month ago (edited)
Would they come back at the age they died? Do they remember everything and everyone else? It’s great to give someone the chance to live longer, but assuming you were an important part of their life it would be a huge hole in their memory assuming it was yes to the above questions. Also a power like this in the wrong hands could be one hell of a way to get revenge and t*****e someone.
Crystalwitch60 1 month ago
I would say yes n it would be my mother I never knew as she died when I was 8 mths old, but I’d really hate to know she didn’t know me ,as that would be like losing her all over again no thanks

You can become completely fearless, but you lose all sense of excitement
HappyMaskSalesman 1 month ago
Jokes on you - I have depression and haven’t felt excitement in years anyway.
#18
You learn you’re living in a simulation, but if you leave it, everyone you know disappears
#20
You could make everyone you love immortal, but you would die before any of them
#21
You could merge dreams and reality, but you’ll never know which one you’re in

Anyone who has experienced sleep disorders that result in disturbing nightmares knows the toll this takes on your mental health and physical health. I spent many nights watching my husband m****r my children and me without understanding if I was awake or dreaming and then "waking up" to find myself in the same scenario. Turns out my sleep apnea was causing essentially hallucinations
#22
You could stop time whenever you want, but each time one person you know loses an hour of their life
PenguinEmp 1 month ago
Each person I know? I know a great deal many people. The guy at the store knows me. The dude at the bus stop knows me but never been friends. These are dumb questions
#23
You could walk into any painting, but you can’t be sure you’ll get out
Virgil Blue 1 month ago
If they mean the world in the painting, I would like that, but I'd make sure I chose the paintings carefully.
#24
You become the most talented person in your field, but you forget everyone you love
#25
You could make one lie in history become true, but one major truth becomes a lie
TotallyNOTAFox 1 month ago (edited)
I think people underestimate that the truth that could be changed can have a positive outcome. Truth: The holo-caust happend, change that to a lie and you saved millions of lives

You could taste every flavor that has ever existed, but water will always taste bitter
#28
