This scenario is probably not that common as this is the first time I've dealt with it since Xbox 360.

I purchased a gift card at my local convenience store about a week ago. The cashier had issues, scanned a second card and got both cards mixed up by accident. I figured, no harm done I'll just add the card info and if it doesn't work, do it to the second.

I proceeded to enter the information and the first card said "not activated" or something along those lines, so I entered the next and it worked fine. About 5 minutes later my account was locked, account recovery was blocked, not a single customer service rep to assist me, just their AI help that kept telling me to recover my account despite it being blocked. Apparently there was suspicious activity on my account.

Fortunately, hours later I was able to access my account. I'm sure someone will mention what I could have done to find the right card, but for those like me, be careful if you ever find yourself in the situation of having a non active card.

You are told you must reawaken in a world where everything is as identical as possible to the world now but without the invention of the fork or the spoon. Whichever you choose will have never been invented nor will it ever be invented.

They aren't the only things that disappear though, if you choose to remove the spoon, you also remove plates, losing that which forks thrive in the best. You'll be left with forks and bowls. If you remove the fork, you also remove the bowl. Leaving you with spoons and plates.

To break it down simply

Forks and bowls or spoons and plates

Sporks are also gone in either scenario.

It applies to spoon and fork adjacent objects.

You must choose the cupped or the pronged.

You are none the wiser that one is missing along with everyone else.

A storm hits and the power to the White House goes out. The back up generators aren't working so the only light is by candle, flashlight, etc. Michael Myers starts randomly in the lawn in the shadows. His objective is to make it to the center of the White House by any means necessary. His goal isn't to kill along the way but if he has to, he will.

There is no back up coming. Whatever security is on the premise is the only security allowed, so no military saving the day. Security is alerted that someone is on the property, but have no clue it's Michael Myers.

Security gates, etc don't work with the power off. This version of Michael Myers is whichever has the best stealth feats from the films. For example, the motion light does not pick up his movement in 2018. Obviously it's night and Halloween night.

I'd have liked to see Jon Snow and The Hound. I'm sure Sansa and Arya told Jon about their adventures with The Hound. I'd like to think it would go completely opposite of Jon's reunion with Theon. Instead of giving forgiveness, giving praise.

*The Scenario*

​

You and 4 other randomly picked strangers in the world get teleported to a room.

​

You are told that if all 5 of you manage to meet up within a distance of 15 feet at the same time, you are given a large sum of money. Name your price, double it and double it again.

​

However, every second before that moment, you lose a second off the end of your life. (Worst case scenario, your natural lifetime cuts in half.)

​

*The Hypothetical Question*

​

Before being teleported back to where you were initially, you have a vote to opt out. If 3 of you opts out, deals off and it's like nothing ever happened. 2 people chose opt out 2 chose to stay, you are the deciding factor.

​

*Additional information*

​

If the vote is to take the deal, all 5 members are forced into the deal.

​

If you take the deal, the two strangers who decided to opt out will still try to meet up.

​

They have no ill will towards your decision to force them into this.

The rule is for the number of living people. So if one of you 5 die, the rest only have to find each other.

​

You were given no chance to communicate before being teleported out. You know their face and that they have the same goal as you.

​

All 4 strangers are average mentally aware adults, so no 2 year old toddler who has no clue what's going on.

​

You can use social media all you want. If you can get a gathering of enough people to make a hashtag meet up at the Eiffel Tower on this date and time, go for it.

​

You aren't necessarily from the same country or speak the same language.

I honestly believe less social media time can benefit a lot more people than the ones willing to admit it, but like all addictions they can't put their phone down.

I think every Sunday for 24 hours, social media should be shut down. By shut down, I mean you can't add anything through posts, comments, tweets whatever. You can still go back to older posts and read them. Even that might be too much, but I understand if someone wants to find an answer to a question and an old Reddit post pops up.

For anyone who doesn't know, it's Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro, etc. a.k.a games known for their difficulty. Also they make other games, but I'm talking specifically their souls like games.

You get offered 1 million dollars to beat 3 random Fromsoft games in one day. Every day you don't accomplish this, at midnight, the day resets and a random batch of 3 Fromsoft games is required for the next day. It could be one you just played, it might not be. You cannot break free from the Groundhog loop until you complete the 3 games.

If you have beaten more than 2 of their games instead you bring in someone who doesn't fit this criteria and guide them through the challenge. (You split the million with your partner because you have an advantage of prior experience.) Your partner is aware of the deal and is on board.

All games are provided but only on the days they are randomly chose so you can't practice one game in advance.

Bonus: There is one alternate choice to escape without completing the trial. The same rules apply but you have to beat Ghosts and Goblins once. You only get 3 full days (24 hour attempts doesn't have to be one after another) at this game before your entire deal is void and you are ground hogged for life.

Would you take the deal?

When I say version of Batman, I don't mean Batman in his ultimate galactic forged earth crusher gear, I mean a specific version with that version's normal capabilities, if that makes sense.

Mockery versions of Batman don't count. It has to be an officially recognized version of him.

The two worst Batman's get 1 week prep time with access to all footage/knowledge we have seen of the best Batman.
