Would you be banned from libraries? Would you become the world's most chaotic delivery driver?

This is including every single ant type on earth, no other animals involved, ants keep their original intelligence, and humans get no time to prepare

What would the world look like if only detached houses townhouses and mobile houses are allowed while apartment buildings are completely banned?

Same as the title but to make it more interesting let's change the gender, if you are a man you'll be transmigrated as a woman and if you are a woman you'll be transmigated as a man, what would you do? What will your next steps be? How will you earn? Where will you live? Etc

He’s got a CRISPR formula that will grown you a nice prehensile tail (not one of those nasty rodent ones) and/or body fur. These features are for life, not just for Christmas. If you want paying — how much? He’s almost certain it will work as advertised – it certainly works on hamsters. But he’s a bit evasive about why he hasn’t tested it on himself.

Instead of targeting oil refineries, UA puts constant pressure/threat on Russian civilian airports effectively limiting civilian movements abroad. The elites are not able to travel freely to Dubai/Istanbul or other hubs and domestic travel from western Russia is also very much blocked.

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.

This only applies to people who finished school, are abled bodied and are 18+. If you graduated with a degree, abled bodied and more than the legal age, you are required by law to get a job. So long as the job sustains you and society. There is no job shaming because everyone is provided a lot of offers.

Deliberately refusing to work despite being given opportunities will land you 10 years in prison with menial labor.

These should be the critieria for those who are exempted:

If you're still in school pursuing a longer term degree and 18+ years old, that's fine.

If you're physically, mentally and/emotionally incapable of working as advised by the doctor, you're fine.

If you are a parent who became a stay at home parent while your partner works, that's fine

How would governments religions societal institutions etc make sense of the event? How would it be remembered in history and talked about?

Imagine being born with a limit of 10 million words. Every conversation, text, argument, joke, piece of gossip, and even whisper would reduce that number. Once you used them all, you could never speak or write again.

Would a world with fewer words become more meaningful, or would it lose something essential about being human?

What other parts of everyday life do you think would change completely?

What if you wake up and suddenly realise that you now have the ability to read anybody and everybody's thoughts now, you also realise you can't turn this ability off ? What would you do?

But not on cities or roads it just does not spawn there also it uses the biomass of non native plant and animal species except contained pets/zoo animals and humans don’t get replaced and yes all bacteria and viruses too will get replaced.

I mean we all know that darkness is just an absence of light. So what if the absolute zero is just also an illusion? No one has ever made something in 0 K. Would things really stop in 0 K? And can we really achieve 0 K or absolute zero?

if we were like that after evolving from homo erectus (somehow), how would human history change especially after the 1500s?
