    That is by far the shittiest version of the “which pill/superpower/xyz ?” that I’ve seen.

    “No more fat”, “Have many followers” and fucking “Increase 5cm height” nearly gave me an aneurysm. This meme is a good pick for the community.

    source
    • Valmond@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah what does even “no more fat” means? You can’t eat fat any more? Or all the fat is removed from you (which would kill you)?

      Also, get me a -5cm height for my 198cm, that would be perfect.

    • ryedaft@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think “many followers” means being famous?

      And the “increase 5cm” has a strategic new line. I thought for about 0.3 seconds that a rude had snuck in.

      • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        No, many followers really means that. It also implies that you’ll need a much larger bathroom.

      Hey now… I’d totally take the extra 5cm. Maybe 15cm.

    That calls for a monkey’s paw

    1. There’s literally no more fat in your body. Your cells burst, you die immediately.
    2. You’re not able to gain weight, but you still lose it. Every time you sweat, breathe out, go to the restroom - you lose weight. In a matter of month or two, you die from exhaustion.
    3. Now you can’t buy groceries and really anything you want or need and are forever reliant on others to provide you with anything you didn’t yourself produce.
    4. The height increase is achieved by all your organs instantly extending, causing internal injuries and disabilities and now many physical stresses can kill you.
    5. You’re so strong you cannot adequately measure it, and have to be very careful not to break everything around you.
    6. You’re always happy. You’re never able to grieve, or reflect, or do anything. You’ve lost any reason to progress, or even really sustain yourself. You die in bliss on the streets.
    7. Followers are invading all of your personal life. They doxx you, follow you everywhere, try to document every moment of your existence. You cannot have peace and solitude ever again.
    8. You forgot your ex. You also forgot every good moment in your life you ever had together, and are left wondering what is that void in your brain. You will never know what happened. But someone, somewhere out there who is your ex will.
    9. Inflation came strong, and now everyone has millions upon millions of dollars. Too bad they’re only worth a few rolls of toilet paper.

      There are people who cannot grow or simply don’t have any fat cells. It’s a surprisingly debilitating condition, but you don’t immediately die from it.

      source
      • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Fats are a normal component of any cell membrane, and if we’re talking no fats whatsoever, there would be no membrane to speak of.

    • Kuma@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      This is what I thought too when I read them, the last one (money) was the only one I didn’t see any problems with. It made me think about the post about picking a superpower and the first comment was your side effect for using it but this was the other way around, pick your side effect haha

      Oh definitely 1 then

  • mosiacmango@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    1 & 2 are the pill, unless 2 also stops you from putting on muscle mass. That or “no more fat” taken too literally will just kill you, as humans need at least 4-5% body fat to live.

    source
    • Xanis@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Super strong likely means mass and/or density, which means more calories needed to maintain. Unless it’s some magic. Either way, that and money means you can eat until you’re happy. The only two pills I’d want out of those given.

      The way 2. is written is basically a death sentence.

      What they presumably meant is “never exceed your ideal weight no matter how much you eat”

      source
  • shneancy@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    1. feels like a trap, once you butn through all your fat you’ll be impossibly unhealthy

    2. is a trap too, if you stop gaining weight from eating then you might trap yourself in the same situation as above

    3. unless you hunt for food, bad idea

    4. decent option, but it doesn’t mention if there’s any pain during the growth period

    5. good option, as lomg as you have control over your strength

    6. very bad option, sounds nice but you will go insane

    7. doesn’t say if online or IRL, having many followers IRL is not desirable

    8. dangerous, erasing any meaningful memories is dangerous

    9. the only good option with no consequences i can think of. i’ll take 3 of those

    • iAvicenna@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Mostly agree, easily can reduce it down to 4,5 modulo fine print. I don’t agree with the last if a lot of money means billions and if you want to keep it all for yourself. Wanting to own billions is a mental disease imo.

      source
      • shneancy@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        oh nah lol, i’d just keep a decent amount of money to live comfortably + bit extra for the occasional adhd “new hobby” shopping spree. if “a lot” means billions, the majority of it i’d most likely donate to charities or give away to friends and random people, i have no desire to hoard wealth

        source
      • LarsIsCool@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        In somewhat of the spirit of the IRL followers. Getting millions of coins dumped on your head is also not preferable.

      • shneancy@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        i don’t think a pill can give you more followers either (not without first setting up a cult and/or a drug enterprise)

  • frog@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I think 5 and 9.

    i don’t really want the rest.

    source
    • Stovetop@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Agreed, those are my only two choices as well.

      • I feel like the first two are basically the same thing and are also asking for a monkey’s paw sort of scenario to happen.

      • I don’t want to stop shopping because there are things I want that can’t be obtained for free.

      • I’m not the tallest, but I don’t feel any particular need to be any taller.

      • I don’t want my emotions regulated to always be happy, because then you basically never truly are.

      • Followers are overrated and creepy.

      • And I’d never want to forget an ex because I’d end up losing a lot of good memories in the process.

      5 only says you gain strength, controlling it may be a difficult task

      source
    • tobis@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      5 could monkey’s paw kill you like most of the rest of these. I think 4 8 and 9 are your best bet if you have to pick 3 and you want to survive.

      source
  • wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    1 is the monkey’s paw answer and a trap. Fat is necessary for survival. Fats literally make up the outside of every cell in your body.

    2 is still dangerous, because it might just be tapeworm eggs.

    Is 3 just a servant who shops for you? Or is it just that you are no longer addicted to compulsive shopping?

    4 Will cause you the most agonizing pain of your life as virtually every body and muscle gets ripped apart and re-knit, and as someone who’s 6’4, it has its upsides, but having literally everything made for people shorter than you REALLY sucks, from doorways and light fixtures, even to rollercoasters which nearly remove your legs because of awful design (or just won’t close over your shoulders)

    5 is nice. Go with 5. It’ll be painful, but potentially worth it in a pinch, as long as it also grants you control of that strength.

    6 is another trap, since small amounts of stress are actually really important, and in order to be constantly happy, your brain would lose the ability to feel it unless it continually increased the dopamine drip. Eventually, you would kill for the ability to stop.

    7 I mean, sure, if that’s what you want. Would be nice to know what kind of followers? Are they going to be religious and try to pull a Life of Brian on you?

    8 is the worst, because you have no control over the extent of the memory wipe. This is existentially terrifying

    9 is the safest, but then you go and read that post about why winning the lottery means you’re fucked.

    source
    • renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      2 would eventually kill you, just more slowly than 1. Unless you never forget to eat and are always able to.

      source
      • AA5B@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        How. Two is just don’t gain weight. It doesn’t say anything about losing weight or about healthy nutrition. For those of us with a tendency to gain, this is all positive.

        My most pressing health concern under my control is my weight. As an adult already overweight, I would be very happy to at least never weigh more than I do now

      • samus12345@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Depends on if the descriptions are jackass genie rules or not. If it’s being genuine, it means you won’t gain any excess weight beyond what’s healthy. 1 and 3 seem like descriptions ripe for abuse as well.

        It says you can’t gain weight. I’m already overweight, and about max for what I can be to keep my job (military) and not totally break down. So if “can’t gain weight” means this is my max weight and no matter what I do I can’t go past it, that makes a comfortable hard stop for future efforts toward dieting.

    Revenge of the MonkeyPaw:

    1 you are allergic to eating fat and can no longer eat any fat whatsoever.

    2 your body has lost its ability to process nutrients, making you starve to death.

    3 you’re banned from every store on earth.

    4 only your neck gets 5cm longer.

    5 but only in your dreams.

    6 you can not feel anything but happiness - no pain, anger, sadness, nothing but joy.

    7 and you’re awaiting your trial as you’re a KKK NeoNazi kult leader.

    8 you get Alzheimer’s disease.

    9 but you cannot access it because the government froze your account due to being investigated in a money laundering scheme.

    2 (as long as that means I can’t go past my current weight, not that every time I poop, sweat, or pee I lose weight I can never regain) 5… and I guess 9. I’m doing okay, and I’ve never had a strong need for “a lot of money.”

    5 isn’t even because I want to have super strength, it’s more to be able to compensate for my jacked up joints and being overweight.

    I would trade any of the three of these for “cure my sleep apnea” though.

    1 sounds tempting, as long as it’s just the insulation, you know? I don’t know a whole lot about biology, but I feel like if you immediately removed all fats from your body, your cells would just die (all the lipids disappearing). But if you could remove all the fat listed in the “body fat percentage” and made it so I could still get some fats quickly (for a healthy amount), I’d take that over 2. Once it’s there, it makes it so hard to get rid of, but I feel like if it was gone in one go, I could keep it off.

    Wow, my decisions for “magic pills” would be kind of depressing to 20-year-old me. At least with the exception of my health I’m reasonably content.
