What if you spent a trillion years in a freezing cold ice bath before being plunged into a hot bath?

Imagine you're transported to another realm where you spend a trillion years consciously sitting in a freezing cold ice bath. When the trillion years are finally over, you're instantly transported back to normal reality and plunged straight into a hot bath.

How do you think that transition would feel after experiencing a trillion years of freezing cold? Would the hot water feel unbelievably pleasurable, or would the experience leave you so psychologically traumatised that you couldn’t enjoy it at all?

I've had a hot bath before after being freezing cold and it honestly felt amazing.

What would you choose to help you keep your sanity during 365 days in solitary confinement?

You have to spend exactly 365 days in solitary confinement.

You’re placed in a completely plain, white room with a bed, toilet, sink and shower. Nothing else.

You only get rice and beans to eat, and water to drink.

You can choose one item to have in the room with you for the entire year.

Would you choose a yo-yo, a Rubik’s Cube, a dictionary or a harmonica?

$10,000 for Every Second You Survive

You’re offered $10,000 for every second you spend in a locked room with a very hungry, aggressive pit bull that hasn’t eaten for a week.

You can say no and receive nothing.

If you accept, you must enter completely naked, covered in barbecue sauce.

Before entering, you choose exactly how long you’ll be locked inside. Once inside, you cannot leave until your chosen time is up.

How long would you stay inside?

After Crash-Landing on a Deserted Island, Who Would You Want to Survive With for 365 Days Before Being Rescued?

You wake up on a deserted island after somehow surviving a plane crash.

You soon discover that one other passenger survived too. You’ll both be rescued in exactly 365 days.

No phones, no internet, no way off the island. Just you, them, and an entire year together.

Who would you rather spend the next year alone on the island with?

Baby hedgehogs from a nest in our garden enjoying some cat food 💚

We discovered a hedgehog nest in our garden, and these adorable babies have been coming out to eat the cat food and drink the fresh water we’ve put out for them.

We named the mother Dorothy, and so far we’ve seen three babies, which we’ve named Star, Sky, and Bernard.

Would You Rather Know Every Secret About Everyone You Know, or Have Everyone Know Every Secret About You?

A: You instantly learn every secret about every person you currently know, including things they have never told you, hidden thoughts, memories, actions, and private information. Everything you learn is completely true.

B: Everyone you currently know instantly learns every secret about you, including things you’ve never told anyone, hidden thoughts, memories, actions, and private information. Everything they learn is completely true.

Only information that you genuinely know about yourself counts as your secrets. Nobody gains any additional knowledge beyond what is revealed by the choice.

Would you cut off your fingers, thumbs and toes for $500,000 each?

For every finger, thumb, or toe you choose to have permanently removed, you get $500,000.

You can, however, double the payout to $1,000,000 per finger, thumb or toe if you choose the hacksaw option.

There are 2 options:

Surgery — $500,000 per finger/thumb/toe

You’re in a hospital and given a general anaesthetic, so you’re completely unconscious and don’t feel any pain while it’s being done. A surgeon removes the finger, thumb or toe using standard surgical equipment.

Hacksaw — $1,000,000 per finger/thumb/toe

You’re also in a hospital under medical supervision. A hacksaw is the only thing used to remove it. You get no anaesthetic, painkillers or any other pain relief, and you stay fully conscious throughout.

You can choose any number of fingers, thumbs and toes, including none. Everything is permanent and nothing can be reattached afterwards.

For example, if you chose to have all 20 of your fingers, thumbs and toes combined removed, you’d get $10 million with surgery or $20 million with the hacksaw.

What’s your choice?

Would You Rather: Everyone You’ve Ever Spoken To Dies, or Everyone You’ve Never Spoken To Dies?

A: Everyone you have ever had a conversation with, either in real life or online, suddenly dies. This includes family, friends, acquaintances, strangers, and online friends. You survive and inherit all of their money, property, and assets, regardless of their wills or next of kin. Any debts they had are erased.

B: Everyone you have never had a conversation with, either in real life or online, suddenly dies. You survive, and everyone you have personally spoken to remains alive.

The rule applies to every living person on Earth. A conversation counts whether it was face-to-face, by phone, video call, text, messaging, or online chat. A one-word exchange counts. Simply seeing someone, being near them, following them online, or reacting to their content does not count.

Would you rather choose A or B?

Would You Rather: Crash-Land With 150 People and Face Scarcity, or Be the Only Survivor With 365 Cans of Baked Beans?

A: You crash-land on a remote island with 150 other passengers, and everyone survives. The island has fresh water, edible plants, fish, and animals that can be hunted. There is enough natural food to keep everyone alive, but finding and catching it is difficult, so food must be carefully and fairly rationed. There is no food on the plane. You will all be rescued after exactly one year, but you don’t know whether people will cooperate or compete over the scarce resources.

B: You crash-land on the same type of island and are the only survivor. Everyone else dies, but there are 365 cans of baked beans on the plane. The island still has fresh water, edible plants, fish, and animals that can be hunted. You don’t have to share any resources, and you will be rescued after exactly one year.

What situation would you rather be in?

Would you rather spend the night covered head-to-toe in olive oil or honey, knowing you can’t wash it off until 7 AM?

Once you choose, you must submerge yourself fully in a bath of your chosen substance. If you normally sleep in clothes, you must wear them during the bath and throughout the challenge.

You must be in bed by 11:00 PM and stay there until 7:00 AM. You may leave the bed only to use the toilet. You may wipe your eyes and mouth as necessary, but you cannot otherwise remove, dilute, wipe, wash, or interfere with the substance before 7:00 AM.

No alcohol, recreational drugs, medication, supplements, or other sleep aids are allowed. You must naturally sleep for at least 4 cumulative hours before 7:00 AM. If you fail, you repeat the challenge the following night with the same substance until you succeed.

As a reward, you’ll receive a lifetime supply of whichever substance you chose.

Would you rather survive 400 days alone on a remote island with scarce food and clean water, and find 400 cans of wet dog food or one fresh, hot pizza in the plane wreckage?

You’ve crash-landed on a remote island and are the only survivor. You won’t be rescued for 400 days.

The island has clean drinking water, animals you can hunt, and a few edible plants, but food is scarce.

Surviving for 400 days using only the island’s resources will be extremely challenging.

You have a can opener and a pizza slicer available.

The wet dog food is chicken and beef flavoured. If you choose the pizza, you can choose whatever toppings you want.
