Thread: What would you do? Hypothetic Situation

  1. #1

    Default What would you do? Hypothetic Situation

    Haven't posted here in like over a year.

    Anywho:

    OK, someone has a weapon which will obliterate all humans into nothingness, unless they ingest a pill before the bomb goes off. The bomb will not damage the environment, not harm any plant or animal. You get handed 5 pills. Who do you save, if anyone?

    For me:

    My 3 Sisters
    My Brother-In-Law
    A healthy couple

    I'd give my pill up and die. Only way the world can possibly continue and my family (save for my parents) can live without imbreeding.

    All the animals on the planet survive. It's just humans that die.

    I'd destroy the pills.

    You think that you would give up your pill, but in that hypothetical situation, I would be surprised if anyone will. Anway, I would choose:

    Me (What can I say, I'm selfish? And I'M THE ONE WHO GOT THE PILLS!)
    The hottest girl on the planet (need repopulationg, right?)
    A healthy couple from 20-30
    A doctor

    I'd make the existence of the pills known and sell four of them to the highest bidder(s). I'd probably be murdered for them in the process, but either way I'd be proliferating what's commonly considered "evil".

    Yes, I really am this bitter today.

    I'd give it to 5 random animals... like... a kangaroo, a donkey, sloth, Mikky, and a hump back whale. Everyone loves hump back whales!

    Nice way of dooming humanity, Kami.

    Sounds like fun to me, if it was yours to decide. :rolleyes2 *kill again* What am I supposed to do with those things? =P And I'm not an animal...nor am I Mikky.

    I'd choose:

    Me
    Brother
    Another brother
    Little brother's fiancee
    Then...I would like to make babies as well, and I wouldn't want to make them with little bro's wifey, so I'd choose someone I'd like to make little rainbow babies with.

    I wouldn't take my parents, 'cause they'd probably want it this way as well. I know them that well.

    Default hmmm

    My Choice:

    Me: I know it seems selfish, but if it were me, and I couldn't take the pill...I would let everyone go with me.

    A Doctor: Okay, the fact of the matter is, we need a doctor. This doctor can teach doctor things and such.

    The Hottest Teenage Girl Ever: I think we pretty much know what that's all about.

    A Very Healthy Couple - And they would have to be a good looking couple. Maybe we can save the NEW EARTH from ever having ugly people.

    I would save me.
    Some pretty girl around my age.
    My best friend.
    Some other girl for him.
    And some super doctor/scientist/astronaut/comedian/musician/actor kind of guy.

    I find it interesting that no one really wants to save a potential mate with brains.

    Me, Britney Spears, and the three meanest, toughest, nastiest people on the planet. I'd make those three fight it out to death like Rockstar's Manhunt for my entertainment while I vigorously tire out Ms. Spears.

    Or maybe I'd save me, Britney Spears (again, as long as she dresses in that see-through thingy she wears in the Toxic video), that Juliana girl from E! News Daily, Halle Berry, and Angelina Jolie.

    Nah. Really, I wouldn't accept that responsibility.

    Probably my immediate family. Though this raises all sorts of imbredding questions. Besides 5 people is pretty pathetic in terms of repopulating the earth, so I might actually destroy them.

    I'd save me and my best friend.

    I know I wouldn't save any family members; I'm not too attached to them. Perhaps my little sister, though.

    Then... I honestly don't know. People often really annoy me, so I might very well ignore people I see daily. HAH. I'd give them to Levia and Ezellwen. Internet people rule. Levia, as the only male, would have the responsibility of repopulating. INTERESTING.

    I'd say it'd go in this order:

    1. A Random Convict.
    2. A Random Ex-Convict.
    3. A Random Bad-Ass.
    4. Me.
    5. The person who destroyed the human race.

    The outcome is simple, the guy with the fetish for nothingness weapons gets pummeled until the end of humanity.

    You will never repopulate the earth with 5 people, so that's not really a concern. I'd just save whoever I'd be happiest dealing with. Me, Nicky, 3 people who know how to survive in the wilderness.
