A science wizard from far into the future appears before you and allows you to choose one of the following. What do.

A: You can stop time for one hour a day. During that time you don't age but you can't stack hours.

B: A ring that made it so that you absorbed all the knowledge and skills of anyone or any book you touched but it breaks after 2 years. You keep all the knowledge and skills but you can't take abilities.

C: Each day you get 1000 kilograms of any food you want in a bottomless bag.
You can't get weed but you can get weed cookies..

D: A van that allows you to travel anywhere in the known universe that seats 7 people. You can also breath without oxygen when you're within one kilometer of the car. The van never breaks down or needs petrol.

E: You can rewind time for 1 hour a day. Non stackable and you're the only one who knows.

F: Can turn any photod item into a reality for 3 hours, then it goes back into the photo. No drawings or photshopped. And no repeats of items or photos.

G: 6 pieces of chocolate that give you immortality, and invincibility for 160 years each.

H: A world you can travel to at anytime that's 1/10 the size of earth. You can play god with it for one year, creating animals and plants, caves and lakes. After one year it's set in stone. After that you can invite 10 people to visit when ever you invite them for a year. Then you pick another 10 and so on. World outside slows to almost stop while you're there.

I: You can travel into tvs to make your own versions of movies, play vidya or just fuck stars.

J: unlimited supply of puddi.

The chocolates would be the best way to live forever, as you would probably live long enough for crazy age extending treatments to develop. The ring, however, you let you become a master of fucking EVERYTHING, assuming that is possible. I would travel fucking everywhere, trying to meet with geniuses whose unique thought processes I could hopefully adsorb, In any case, surely just absorbing a ridiculous amount of logic and creativity styled books would put you on par with anyone, allowing you to design and create your own life extending treatments and/or machines, and advance science, math, and whatever by decades after absorbing their relevant material.

B. That ring is pretty good too, but I think it's impractical, you'd learn as much as all the books, knowing all the fact doesn't mean I'm smarter, just maybe make me more of an asshole since I know all the answers, but then, I don't know everything. Cool at parties I guess.

A&E are similar, could use to get rich, especially in trading, robbing, or just get sex.

F&I are similar pretty much, cool.

C is pretty much useless, actually, if I can share the food with other people, I can imagine myself feeding some people in disaster area. That's kind of cool.

You're basically stating that current human knowledge is a "naive conglomeration of trivia" if we assume that people and books contain the majority of current knowledge currently out their(they do) then further advancements will be based off this trivia.

In turn this means that you're depending on this "trivia" to advance technology in the next 960 years. So either you don't consider human knowledge of consequence or you do think it is important, however the two points are contradictory so stick with one and drop the other.

A.

It may be short lived compared to the other options but it can yield some extremely beneficial results. You live a few years longer than you would normally. A small perk compared to what you could actually do and use the potentials of the power. You're essentially invincible because if a bad situation comes around such as you're about to get mugged with a guy with a knife/gun. You can take the weapon and use it to kill the mugger right then and there as well as you can just walk a few miles away from the crime scene.

Robbing banks and other wealthy institutions is a given but you can always give yourself just a bit more time for something important. You can also kill entire armies of men if you have the proper setup within in that hour. Some asshole take the G option and confronts you about your shenanigans? Just stop time and put him somewhere for safe keeping for the next few hundred years. Another guy is after you with the Van? Just wait until they come to you. Freeze time and hijack that motherfucker.

The only person that can "beat" you is the person who chose E. They can revert everything you did in that hour back to when you stopped time and an hour before you stopped time, totally negating everything you did.

A) 365 extra hours per year, that's 15 days and 5 hours per year. I'm 23 so if I live to be 80 that's 57 years of 15 extra days That's 855 days plus whatever the extra 5 hours adds up to over that time. So you end up with roughly 2.5 extra years of life, of which you don't age.

E) The same as A except you age, so by the time I was 80, i'd actually be 82.5.

G) 960 extra years of life, during which I cannot die, get sick or injured. That means I could probably go without sleep without dying, though it would damage my state of mind.

B) You can turn that 2 years into 960 if you choose G

C) You don't need food if you're immortal

D) Mite b cool. I guess it would be like being Doctor Who without the time travel.

first start at the library, touch every thing , then go find the greatest minds in the world and shake there hand, fuck shake every one hand, have the world knowledge and life experience of 1000's of people

It only look slike you would fall forever and not arive "inside" for an outside observer.

You yourself would end up inside.

I like to believe it's colorful in there. Lot's of rainbows. Neat stuff.

B I could probably make myself immortal within 20-30 years. Interdisciplinary approaches are by far the most important of any field. But I've never met a Chemist who could tell me shit about Navier–Stokes equations.

>> No.3048717

A has possibilities but the only things you could really use it for is fast travel (useless) espionage and stealing (E is much better for those two)

B is an obvious choice but information overload is a huge issue. Better to use E to make shit-tons of money and create an interdisciplinary think tank...or a dozen of them

C lolwut?

D I feel ashamed for not wanting this even slightly

E Vegas baby, Vegas. If you steal money using A it could conceivably come back to bite you in the ass. Sure you'll eventually get kicked out of every casino in the world but by that time you'll have millions and you can start day-trading. Before you call this selfish, I will argue that with billions of dollars you can help humanity at least as much as any of the other options.

F if not for the restrictions on drawings/photoshops this would be my pick. With the restriction it's almost useless.

G This one is VERY hard to pass up. I'd still probably pick E and just donate a few billion dollars to the SENS foundation

H This has some potential. Need more detail. Can I stay there indefinitely and live forever? Can people who leave ever come back?

I There is no I

J You ran out of ideas didn't you>

If I don't have to use my time stop continuously, so that I can use a few seconds at a time, I'd definitely stop time.

I'd have to be permitted to move things during time stop, like how stopping time is portrayed in fiction,

I really want to pick D but I'm gonna go with G for a guaranteed and perhaps better version of D

>> No.3049177

For those of you who picked g, how long would you wait before talking the first piece. And would you tell anyone?

These threads were better if two was allowed to be chosen. Then people could think up clever combos.

I'd go for D. All of my dreams fulfilled.

>> No.3049236

I have to go with E.

A would arouse suspicions too much if I'm going missing from place to place too often.
B has time limit of 2 years, thus maximizing absorbed knowledge within that time period would be such a hard task, and having so much skill and knowledge would only burden me.
C has the constraint if the bag were stolen.
I don't care of any alien world so D is out of question.
F is cool, but time manipulation is better, and I have to prepare the photos before doing anything meaningful.
G is the worst. Eating one piece then guarding the rest for 800 years, that would make me insane for sure. I wouldn't get any sleep.
H, SimEarth is fun enough.
I, I rather being the spectator.
J is stupid.

Hopefully with all that immortality, I'll live long enough to get that whole immortality drug humanity will have made.

Some letters are dominated by others.
For example, why ask for 6 pieces of chocolate, when you get a ton of any food there is. Chocolate is food.
E obviously dominates A.
But most importantly I.
I dominates everything.
I make a 960 year-long movie (=6x choc), of a guy who has a van that can travel anywhere in the universe, is god of some 1/10th sized world, and can rewind time and absorb knowledge.
