i wish that all individuals can (with work/effort/skills) output the same amount as whole companies (e.g. creating, inventing, even manufacturing, etc)

You have died and awoken in an afterlife, you are being asked to pick a new body and it can be anything you can imagine. What do you pick?

You have no visual memory of your current body as a side effect of dying, but they say you'll get visual memory back in about ~6-12 months. Until then, you have to pick something new. That's the only rule.

What are you going with?

A new species of intelligent elves localized entirely within your kitchen reveal themselves to you. They could disrupt the food chain and become a menace on the world if you let them out, but they might just get locked in a lab or worse if you tell anyone. You need your kitchen back. What do you do?

Their entire species is localized within your kitchen, and have hidden there for many years. They don't know they can leave, they think the door is a portal only humans can go through (they're intelligent ... but a new species). You could tell them how to leave, but you don't know what the ecological ramifications could be. You could tell scientists, but then they'd likely just be locked in a lab or destroyed.

How do you deal with this?

God wants you to invent a new parasite for any creature with any benefits or drawbacks you choose. Who hosts your parasite, what does it do and why?

Symbiotic relationships are allowed but so are others (e.g. if you want to go for a parasite that targets mosquitos and makes them infertile, that's an option too).

You have admin rights on every website on the planet and are allowed to do whatever you want with full legal immunity. What do you do with this power?

Website includes anything accessible by a browser, you'll have the highest level of access the system provides to any user.

Rules:

- Only applies to web-browser based access (the backend protocol doesn't matter, this is tech-magic after all)

- This includes full write/edit access to all websites, social media platforms, etc

- The power is non-transferable, anyone else will get locked out and lose legal immunity. Technically nothing stopping you from automating though.

What do you do with this power?

$50,000,000 to sweat peanut butter for the rest of your life

that's it, that's the hypothetical. peanut butter will ooze from your sweat glands instead of sweat, and for some reason it'll cool you down just as good. you have to pick the brand, so you at least get a say in the consistency etc. it will soak through your clothes and whatever other nightmares you are imagining but it will be edible so there's that.

$20,000 to have your nails permanently replaced with screens that will display the Windows XP Plus pack aquarium screensaver with actual fish animations swimming between the nails for the rest of your life. They will glow in the dark lightly, and the lightness will reflect reality.

The money is tax free and paid straight into your bank account. Your nails will grow normally, can be clipped to any length, even painted over (but paint and glue will dissolve VERY quickly because of the heat of the screen, and it'll always try to glow over it).

If you put your finger in your ear you will hear the sounds of the Windows XP Plus Pack aquarium screensaver but otherwise you wont notice it.

You find out there's a chip in your brain significantly reducing your intelligence AND it's the source of most of your negative feelings. No doctor will remove it, they say you need it. What do you do?

If you manage to survive removing it or deactivate it somehow, you'll be free of all that self hatred and finally reach your true potential. You'll be at least twice as smart as you are now, whatever that means to you.

The chip lives directly in front of the place where they perform lobotomies. As a bonus, you realize the chip may effect your memory long term, but you have no way of confirming.

You get to decide the true answer to any question that science does not currently know the answer to, and it will become the reality. What do you pick any why?

So long as science does not currently know the answer (by which I mean the majority of scientists in the field would agree it is an unanswered question) you can decide the answer to it. That means when the answer is discovered it'll have always been what you've decided, bonus points if you can figure out a way to "discover" it for yourself!

What are you picking and why?

Any food you eat becomes inaccessible to the rest of humanity for 48 hours after your last consumption of it, and they know you did it. How do you live your life?

Basically, any food you eat with the intention of that being the thing you eat (e.g. if you decide to eat an apple, noone on Earth will be able to eat apples for 48 hours. but if you decide to eat apple pie, it'll just be apple pies). You can satisfy specific cravings this way. You can only be so specific though (e.g. "well done apple pie with cinnamon" is way too specific, just imagine the basic product category).

How do you cause the least problems for people? What foods do you absolutely avoid for risk of worsening food scarcity? What do you eat?

You can change any event in the past, but you need 100 people to believe people it already happened. What do you change and how?

So long as 100 people individually believe what you say happened happened, the present will change so that it always happened. You can pick anything but you have to explain the belief part too!

For whatever reason you wake up one morning and are now fully in charge of Belize. You weren't elected, but you didn't ask for it either. People just hope you don't abuse your power and maybe try to do some good in that time.

Most of the previous leaders vanished when this happened so that's something you'll have to deal with. Technically you could just ignore Belize, but then you're kind of dooming 400,000 people.

What do you do with Belize? How do you handle the situation?
