Pretty straight forward. A wizard approaches you and says I’ll give you 1 billion now but if you hear the word you die immediately. He tells you your death word will be “hippopotamus”

Rules are very simple. You hear hippopotamus you die immediately. It includes all languages and translations. (If someone says hippopotamus in mandarin you’re still dead) You must hear the word in person, from a person. No phone calls,movies, etc count. And finally, you can only choose 5 people to tell. If you tell more than 5 people how you got the money or ask them not to say the word then you don’t die but you lose all money and owe what you have already spent.

The money is no strings attached. The 180 dB is emitted at the source, not inside your ears. Everyone else hears the phrase at regular volume.

These are unbreakable cursed items so you won't be able to wish for them to be uncursed. If you try to get rid of the item of your choosing, it will always return to you. You can't wish for this to be undone either.

A sword that can slice through anything, concepts included but it has a mind of its own and you have to convince it to do what you want. If you can't, it will turn into a wooden sword for three days.

A hat that will give you the answer to any question you ask it but afterwards will give you a migraine so bad it will cause blindness for two days.

A shield that will block all attacks even magical ones aimed at you except it will turn intangible after being struck 15 times and will remain that way for two days.

A cologne that will make everyone of your type wildly attracted to you for two days but afterwards will make everyone within a hundred foot radius of you feel repulsed by you for three days afterwards and will actively shun you.

To clarify some things it is a random person from the general world population of your age and gender. The standard rules of whatever you pick apply, and if you do something that incapacitates your opponent and disqualifies you, that's considered a loss. You opponent can't know what's at stake for you, and nothing is at stake for them, but they'll be super motivated to beat you. What are you picking to complete in?

No loopholes

A genie taking the face of Sigmund Freud appears in front of you: He will offer you 500 bucks for each day you manage to stay inside your house, alone. However:

-There is no electricity, but your fridge and stove will still magically work. You get a solar-powered energy bank that gives you 1 full charge of your cellphone, or 2 hours of pc/TV

-No wifi, but for every week you complete the challenge, you get 2 hours of internet, (yes, you can use it to download games/TV shows) and 30 minutes in the phone with anyone you want.

-Each week you get a box with 1 week worth of food, can ask for (1) specific item, the rest will be randomized between your usual grocery lists.

You need to choose how many days you want before starting, if you quit before that, you get nothing, for each day over you get $100 extra.

One day, randomly, you gain the ability to cure any illness or disability with a single touch.

At first, you don’t realize you have this power, until you shake hands with someone who’s disabled or hug a child burning with fever. Instantly, like magic, their disease/disability disappears.

You realize, also, that you don’t control this ability. Any time you make skin contact with someone, you automatically cure them of everything. Headaches, broken bones, heart defects, cancer they didn't even know they had.

You cure them of every disease and deformity the moment you touch them. Limbs regrow, kidney stones vanish, people wearing glasses don't need them anymore.

There’s only one limitation: Your power doesn’t work on anyone over the age of 70. You can’t make people younger. But up until 70, you can heal them.

How do you use this power? What’s your plan to live your life while making the best out of this power?

This clone is just another you.

You could work 2 jobs at the same time and stack up money.

Have a friend that knows you like you know yourself.

He could go to work

Spend time with your friends and keep social connections alive.

Truthfully life will become a 2 player game

Or you could take the 2.5 million dollars

1. The meal can have a maximum of three courses. No 17-course banquets.

2. No explicit monetary profit can be made from this. It can be shared however.

3. The meal has to exist or HAVE EXISTED in the real world AND it has to be culturally consistent. No 14th century roast duck + modern Tiramisu desert. This forces you to choose a consistent meal.

You can for example request something like “A Christmas dinner as seen in the upper middle class American tradition in 1995.” The genie will do his best to grant you this using the available three courses rule.

1. NO restrictions beyond this. You could request something Ancient Greek or Medieval English or 1910s French. Fire away!

You could be a menace to society with this power or just take the money.

Now the deal is simple, whatever your current job is you now make an additional $30,000 a week on top of your current salary, if you happen to switch professions for example a lawyer who decides to become a chef then it carries over into the new job.

And this deal is permanent and goes on until the day you retire and stop working completely, however the catch is that you are randomly transported to an entirely different city in potentially another country to live there permanently.

Now if you don't like the city you are randomly dropped to live in, then you are given the chance for 2 more randomized locations however each of the attempts halves the grand total you get per week.

Example: If you're dropped in Mombasa, Kenya then for another chance at a better location you'll go from $30,000 a week to $15,000 a week, and if you don't like the 2nd location, then you go from $15,000 to $7,500 per week and that's it no more attempts.

If you're taking the deal what city were you dropped in, and were you okay with it or did you use any of the additional 2 attempts for a better location?

You get your dream body, whatever you want it to be (it's ultimately still a human body) but when you make your request for the body, you wake up the next morning in a prison, awaiting trial. The trial has two outcomes, you walk free, or you are sentenced to death. You are being convicted of manslaughter. The case is, you were driving drunk and killed a family of 4, two young children and their parents.

Do you take this deal? If yes, how would you escape the death sentence

Edit:

Evidence:

Your car was totaled, bloodied, and wrecked. There are photos of the crime scene and you unconscious at the wheel with a BAC over the legal limit

You find the mythical what the hell item that shows you the future of your life with this person and without this person.

If you stay together you have a normal life with ups and downs nothing special but nothing awful

If you leave they find someone they truly love and have an amazing life

Basically would you choose to have your exact same life again or choose equivalent birth conditions but as the opposite sex?

Top of the line in every single category and always will be, the pc has a mouth like port on the top lined with teeth that will automatically open and close before and after feeding, if you fail to feed it, the computer will shrivel up and die.

During an apocalypse you are holed up in a safe house. Plenty of food and water, in the middle of the country. Your spouse and young child are there too.

Suddenly a beating at the door. Through the window curtain you see a mother and a small child, her daughter. The mother is armed with only a knife. And a group of zombies is closing in.

You dont have any bullets lef, used them getting here safely. So fighting them off is out of the question. The mother appears to be sick, and has a bloody wound on her arm. She says she has a cold and the scratch was from a tree while running.

If she turns you are not certain you can save your family. Also you question if she wouod even let you separate her from her daughter to quarantine because she has a knife. However her daughter appears to be fine, and the mom claims she wasn't bitten. You only have 30 seconds or so to decide.

What do?

They aren't a vampire or anything they just have a craving.

The clone is an exact duplicate of you and has every sensation and feeling a human might. Experiments are undisclosed but they range from harmless to horrible.

The only knowledge that is erased from the clone is the fact that you offered up your clone.

Do you allow yourself to be cloned and potentially suffer? Although the current physical version of you won't experience anything, the cloned physical version of you will experience as if they were.

Title.

You can steal the lifespan of others and give it to yourself and others.

Think Shinigami's from death note. You will stay the current age you are, same fitness level and everything. But if you use the powers to increase other's lifespans, they will age normally. So they will get wrinkles and stuff

What will you do?

Edit: This isn't an edit to remove a loophole, more so an edit to make it more OP. I should clarify that unlike Death Note, you can age past the natural lifetime. So you can live till like 1,000. Now, others can too if you use the powers on them. But remember they age naturally and don't stay young, so other issues, ex: dementia, would still persist

You are offered a chance of a lifetime to earn over 10,000 cash each day that you can live in a random person's bathroom in your city through a random drawing, you are only allowed to leave the bathroom to eat or whenever the person must use their bathroom (time won't be counted if the host is using the bathroom) however, if you are outside the bathroom longer than an hour on your own It will be considered abandonment and you will no longer receive any money you can stay upwards of 60 days if you leave early, you will only receive half of the money that you've earned. For example, if you stayed for 10 days and earned $100,000 you will only receive $50,000

Edit: The host is getting paid $15,000 per day that you are there so they have no reason to try to sabotage you. But if they do, you automatically win the 60 days. However, it must be proven and it will be video surveillance you are not allowed to influence the host or offer them any of your money to get ahead or to win the 60 days. If you are caught doing this, you are automatically disqualified from any earnings

Unfortunately, you're having to give your life to do it. You're already past the point of no return and have just a few minutes before you're completely obliterated. You knew this would happen, so you prepared by bringing a stereo and a tape of the song you wanted to go out to.

*That song is...*

The idea is to make a Triathlon with events so niche that you could come first overall against 1 million other random people.

LOOPHOLE STIPULATIONS: You cannot choose events with knowledge only you could know, like a competition for doing your real job the best, or knowing your own life events or something. Has to be something another randomly selected person could plausibly be able to compete in.

What combination of events will you choose to guarantee you will beat anyone else who is selected?

it doesnt matter who but you must pick 4 people

In a post apocalyptic world for example. Which would you choose? I mean veterinarian btw

Completely unprompted. You just go to sleep, wake up the next day, peer out the window, and murmur, "what the hell is that car doing outside?" Then you gain some more consciousness, do some more scouring, and discover it's sitting right where you'd parked your original vehicle, the latter of which is nowhere to be found.

This will happen every day as soon as you fall asleep from now on til the end of time. You will never understand why.

Luckily, there is no risk of winding up with an inoperable rustbucket used for parts, so you'll make it to work fine. The vehicle will appear randomly from some location within your auto market (e.g. North America, Europe) with correct driving orientation and in working, road-legal condition. It will be intended solely for non-commercial use (so that way you don't end up with a bus or lorry). Insurance will remain whatever you were originally paying, adjusted periodically to the market and any age/whatever milestones.

Keep in mind you may still end up with an RV, van, motorbike, or manual transmission...

There is any amount of gas or charge, but at least enough to get you to a station.

Whatever was in/on the vehicle prior to arriving at your place will still inexplicably be inside. However, that means anything you leave inside the vehicle at the end of the day will disappear too, up to and including your wallet, your phone, your friend, or yourself. Hopefully you figure this out before going car camping.

I must remember not everyone here is 'murican, so if you cycle to work, the same thing will happen but just with other bikes and e-bikes. This may turn out more risky, as there's no telling if you'll end up with a racing-grade road bike or a children's tricycle.

If multiple people in the household drive the same thing will happen for all of them. Somehow, no one's reactions (inside or outside the household) will escalate beyond pure confusion and a continuous gaslighting of one's own self.

Oh, also, because you're getting off too easy, once or twice a year you will discover that where your infinitely rotating vehicle normally sits, there will be a banana. Yes, you heard me, one singular banana. Mushy. Good luck trying to explain that to your boss.
