Addiction is categorized as a disease by most medical associations so I’m going to say absolutely
So not only that but depression anxiety etc. orange pill is slept on
That can happen whenever in my real life too lol. I’m just taking one major contributor to death out of the question. I mean imagine being immune to cancer? The common cold? The plague? You’d live for a very long time, if you don’t get murdered ( which most people don’t )
I don't think I *want* to be that smart. 250 is smarter than the smartest people in history. You would be completely incapable of making and keeping friends due to having no peers. Being completely unable to stand conversation with other people would be so lonely.
It sounds miserable.
Honestly, I can't believe that is anyone's answer. Think of what you can do with basically any of the other ones. We basically already have partial disease immunity thru antibiotics and modern medicine, and it'll only get better. If we're all gen Z here it's likely even many cancers etc. will be curable by the time we are in peak risk ages.
Picking grey requires making multiple assumptions that I don't think I'd be comfortable with making.
- The assumption that there even are multiple dimensions
- The assumption that those other dimensions have complex life
- The assumption that some of those dimensions can support human life
- The assumption that some of those dimensions are much more advanced than ours, to the point where they have cures for all diseases
- The assumption that, of those dimensions, the diseases that they have cures for are the same as the ones that exist in our dimension, our at least that their cures would work on our diseases
- The assumption that of those dimensions, there exists at least one that simply gives out the cures to anyone for free with no questions asked.
- The assumption that you'd have complete control over which dimension that you'd be able to travel to
Dimensions are components of spacetime, not an alternate universe. You already possess the ability to travel three of the known dimensions. The fourth, time, is the only one you might gain access to if you take that pill.
But String Theory says we create new dimensions ~~whenever the current iteration of String Theory once again fails to accurately describe a new discovery~~
[The current hypothesis is that there are 11 possible dimensions in the universe.](https://interestingengineering.com/science/how-many-dimensions-does-our-universe-really-have)
So technically would this super power basically be time travel and teleportation combined?
If yes, then this isn’t even a competition. Way too over powered.
In a sense, yes. If you occupy a dimension outside of the 4 we are familiar with, such as the 5th dimension, you would be able to access all points in spacetime simultaneously. You could literally be present at the origin of our observable universe. You would observe whether everything we know came from a singularity or is simply one of many random origins that happened simultaneously as spacetime expands.
One thing we have learned, is that true nothingness is unstable. Once spacetime has expanded (which it is perpetually doing) to the point that there is literally nothing within a given point in spacetime, it becomes unstable. This implies that the instability will cause the nothingness to become something to reassert stability, which may well be where all matter and energy in the universe originates from. This ability would answer many, many questions about the nature of our universe and teach us what the ultimate fate of life could be.
This, is a wonderful question. I just started a book called "A Brief History Of Everything" in which the writer is speaking with someone about how it is possible multiple universes have come and gone and this just happens to be the one we can exist in. There may be more universes even currently existing that were created in the cycle of birth and death of galaxies.
He states however that this just happens to be the one we CAN exist in. Like for instance an universe in which it is more difficult for hydrogen atoms to bond, then the universe may never have left a gaseous state. TOO easy to bond? Then we run out of Hydrogen as it bonds itself out of existence.
If we look at histories most influential intelligent people we find that a lot of them were at around 140-200 IQ.
Now, if we were to add 50-110 IQ to that (and presuming no government decided to vanish you to either do tests on or ask for your help) we can presume you'd be able to learn and solve extremely complicated quantum and math questions that boggles even the brightest of this era. Solve those > manage to get the funding to make a normal sized quantum computer > make a super quantum computer > possibly it'd be able to do the equations and problem solving required for the other pills which are possible and give you a definitive answer of "no" to the ones that are impossible with the materials on earth.
Some of them don't seem overly complicated.
Prowess: a super steroid pill.
Future sight: solve chaos theory (with a super quantum computer MIGHT be able to, if you're able to feed it enough information. It'd likely still be a guestimation though since you'd need basically every single variable in the world at the same time).
Charming and attractive: some pill that'd make your hormones interact positively with all or most other people (hard but probably even possible with today's technology)
Immune to diseases: a crisp fix pill against all known diseases.
Never hungry or thirsty again: sounds more like a negative than a positive (since it's the body telling us we need something) but think there might already be a disease for that, otherwise just deactivate the part of the brain that tells us to feel hungry or thirsty (a super quantum computer should be capable of this)
Talk with animals: have the super quantum computer analyze enough different sounds for every known animal for a while and it should be able to recognize patterns to the degree that it could give you some simpler sentences or noises and pitches that mean different things. Not exactly you talking with animals but you might be able to communicate barely with some of them, or at least learn to recognize certain sounds (for example for "food" or when they're feeling playful).
Speed yourself up: feels like a super steroid pill might help you achieve this.
Traveling to different dimensions: this one is trickier. First you'd have to prove other dimensions exist, something we can't prove or disprove as of yet. A super quantum computer might be able to but might not be able to. If it were though, it could likely recognize some of the differences between the dimensions and help you either readjust your body to comfort with another dimension or help you build a portal to access it/them.
Ability to fly: crisp your DNA or implant different organs (real or manmade) until you're closer to a bird or bee than a human. Don't think a pill would be able to do that, at least not without permanent changes.
There, all pills or alternatives to all pills unlocked through a 250 IQ :D
While 250 IQ does get the point across for “super smart” culturally.
250 IQ means literally nothing for actual intelligence. It merely tests knowledge, not intelligence. Because we don’t actually have a concrete understanding of intelligence. And knowledge does not equal smart.
It does help, and actually super intelligent people will generally gain large amounts of knowledge via seeking it out throughout their lives.
Also IQ of 100 is ALWAYS the most median IQ because the scale adjusts to the average. So of course the smartest people tend to be around 200-250 IQ, because that’s the topmost the scale.
No matter how intelligent, you can't defy reality. If these pills are made by some good beyond our rules I doubt you could make any of the others no matter how intelligent
The only problem with increased intelligence is can see is that it makes you very lonely. I am actually Gen X and they thought it a great idea when I was a kid to keep all the “smart” kids together. It had its advantages (bullying was less rampant), but a lot of kids didn’t get to know or operate with “normal” kids.
My son who is Gen z is having problems with this at times in college now. He is interested in things a lot of his peers are not. It’s hard to explain, but a 250 IQ would mean everyone around you was basically developmentally delayed from your perspective.
I think everyone is sleeping on orange pill. Immune to all diseases? Im assuming that also means like getting the cold, flu, covid, cancer, mental health diseases like depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, they are technically diseases to the mind because youre mind does not work properly/normally. You could eat any food, cant get food borne illnesses so even if youre poor and have to eat out of a trash can you can survive eating anything, cant get any diseases from it! Same goes if youre travelling you cant get sick from unknown germs or bacteria that the locals develop an immunity too but youd get sick being a tourist, cant get sick(this happened to my mom even with precautions). You out wanting to go for a picnic or camping? Dont worry about any bites from wild life cause rabies cant get you, or something like a little lone tick giving you lyme disease cant get u either. Sorry but I hate being sick with a passion, Im taking the orange pill.
Probably because death is so universal and so prevalent everywhere that weve just accepted it as a normal thing when it isnt.
(This is just my opinion, dont take it as a fact. Im incredibly scared of growing old and dying so its just heavy cope)
I agree it’s a good choice, but I feel it’s important to point out that neurodivergence isn’t a disease. Depression, yes, but ADHD? Nope. It’s not wrong, just different
It’s not, while ADHD does have its downsides, it’s also gives as much as it takes, and most importantly, at least for me, it’s become a big part of who I am and how I deal with things
I have depression, anxiety, ptsd and AuADHD. I'd give up those first three in a heartbeat, believe me, but I don't think your logic applies to mental "diseases" because the examples you have are not diseases. ADHD is a mental disorder, not a disease. Similar types of neurodoversity such as autism, is classified as a developmental disability. PTSD is again, a condition/disorder, not a disease. I don't think you intended on being ableist but that's where you arrived. Please refrain from using language such as "disease" when referring to ADHD, other types of neurodiversity, and serious trauma-induced conditions because while I know we're just doing fun and games here, such language especially in casual settings works to further alienate and other us. Again, I don't think this was your intention, but I thought I'd give my two cents as a person with the disorders you mentioned so that you won't make the same mistake in your everyday life. /gen
Agreed. To be able to explain to my furry kids why I have to leave them alone sometimes or why we can't go for a walk at the moment but we'll go at a certain time would be worth everything.
Plus I would have been able to talk to my favorite bestest little girl who meant the world to me and I had to put down last year due to cancer. I would have asked her how she felt and could have used that information to make her as comfortable as possible for the time she had left.
No other choice comes close.
This is close to the top for me. There have been so many times in which I’ve wanted to tell an animal that what they are doing/about to do will bring harm to them, but I can’t do anything because they cannot understand me.
Being able to talk to animals would be depressing AF considering the current mass extinction event with wildlife and factory farming for domesticated animals. I worked at a fish hatchery for a time, I always had a nagging thought, "if fish could scream... This would be as loud and horrifying as the worst factory farms."
Birds reporting their losses during migration, habitats and centuries-old breeding grounds demolished. Whales and dolphins able to explain how loud and polluted the ocean really is.
Communication would add another level of empathy that would radically change how we view human development
If we are being 100% realistic, I feel like this is BY FAR the best choice.
Most of the other pills are effectively flashy superpowers that would make you a worldwide target for every government and military. Some of them (look into the future) would probably drive you insane.
The red is incredibly underrated and people seem to not realize how it would benefit them
- never have to worry about money, employment, job
- never have to worry about being lonely
- option to become famous if you want
- everyone likes you all the time, nobody would ever suspect you of wrong doing
- you essentially have a mild form of mind control that wouldn’t make you a target
- most people picking the red would end up being very happy and fulfilled in their life, because society would conform to your will
The financial, social, and even legal freedom you get from this is just beyond anything else offered here.
You would worry about being lonely though.
Fame also can be very irritating when you just want to have a private life like everyone else without lots of unwanted attention coming to your door - and every other damn place.
And not everyone would like you either.
Also, a lot of "attractive" people can have really awful personality traits which makes them off-putting even to their own partners. Then you end up at square one. Lol
Good thing you’re also super charismatic
If it was just “you’re really good looking” I’d agree. But they specifically say you’re also attractive in terms of personality which means your instincts and default behavior will always be loved
People can be jealous and vindictive towards charismatic people.
A few of the popular ones have been even killed.
I don't think it's this automatic pass to happiness.
But I think at the same time people will also defend and protect you because you’re attractive and charming.
Sometimes even if you have shit behavior deep inside, but you’re pretty and good with words (kinda a manipulative charm) then there’s almost always a security to happiness and success. You will ALWAYS have people who will side with you. You can never be isolated.
Not only that, but if you're smart, you could use it to get in a position to make smarter people make the rest. I saw a similar argument made for the blue one, but why do the work yourself?
If you have decent looks, brown is even better. You know who's interested in you, how to manipulate them, and even their passwords. Not only would you be popular with the opposite sex but you'd even be able to detect corrupt popiticians and blackmail them. Depending on how the ability works, you could even read their minds and predict their moves, which would also make you a fearsome opponent at poker and chess
If I may give a counterpoint, I'd say that corrupt politicians are already pretty easy to detect and that their behavioral patterns are already known well enough to be able to know exactly what crimes they get up to in their free time and who they're taking money from just from what they're saying on the job. I'd also argue that if you knew *everything* about someone, you'd probably lose respect for them pretty quickly, even if they are actually good people, because everyone has some parts of themselves that they keep hidden for good reasons even if they're completely innocent and just weird.
You would also be one of the best robbers in the digital age. You can look at them and know their bank passwords and credit card numbers along with their security questions.
Green. Assuming whatever energy my body uses or doesn't use gets managed in the most efficient way possible, it effectively gives me the ability to work on body training until my muscles get sore without having to worry about dehydration or hunger giving me a headache. I also can spend more time doing other things since I don't have to eat or drink anything. It also gives me the ability to survive literally anywhere given I have the appropriate clothing for the weather. I feel like green makes several of the others kind of redundant.
I’m doing orange. My biggest fear as a bi man is STDs and since my family also has a long history of cancer and heart issues, orange is the best choice for me.
Black pill will help you win the bets, so you will make unlimited money with near zero effort, which makes useless blue, red, violet, white and brown because with them you obviously should work more and they are pretty limited. Orange, green, yellow and cyan are even more useless because almost all of that can be done with money (ability to fly would get boring after a while, like everything). Pink and grey may be chosen by people who are interested in world exploration.
My initial pick was red but this is actually a pretty good point. You could probably fake the effects of red with that power depending on how it works. If a given decision has multiple options, can you see the results of all of them? If so, the future writes your speeches for you
it seems like a random 5 minutes. is it like assasains creed where you can control your future self to look around? is it just a random pan shot? do you know everything around the whole planet for those 5 minutes? vagueness made me pick other pills
10x speed is a curse if you age and get tired 10x faster, otherwise it is OP.
immune to all disease is OP, if aging is a disease.
interdimensional travel is OP with the multiverse interpretation of quantum physics.
if the previous are not OP, give me 250IQ.
Black. Use that glimpse into the future to make incredibly lucrative trades in the stock market to amass massive wealth. Use that wealth to better the lives of myself and everybody around me. We do live in a world that revolves around money after all
Green seems like the best on the surface, but there's a difference between being hungry and thirsty and actually requiring nourishment. I'm afraid I would die of dehydration before I get to the benefits of not having to eat
If green is literally face value, its meh. If the intent was no more required eating or drinking, its value shoots up immensely. The amount time you would save is immense. Not to mention no more heat stroke.
Theoretically, Purple can also partially mimic the effects of Red (some people find strength attractive), Orange (improved physicality in turn improves the immune system), and Yellow (better reaction times).
We already have the power to travel between the dimensions… that’s not a superpower lol. We live in a 3 dimensional universe plus we move through time, which is a fourth
Green. I want to be able to feed me and my family without having to pay so much money. And if we have any food left over, I want to give it to the homeless that I live near, there's too many to count.
Seriously. You could make the world a utopia by making massive amounts of money in the stock market and then setting up infrastructure around the world to sustainably feed people, cure diseases, and stop climate change.
This. This is the function of green. Not *going* hungry/thirsty, not never *feeling* hungry/thirsty, nor not *needing* food and water. Respectable choice.
Black. Can hopefully get confirmation that free will doesn't exist.
The thing is, we don't know how it works. Is it the future where I didn't get the glimpse into the future? If so then it isn't accurate since with the knowledge the future would be different since I would act different knowing what could happen.
If it is the future where I got this same glimpse, then it means I can't change anything, since seeing the glimpse doesn't change anything about the state of the universe now.
Also how do u even see the glimpse? Is it any place or just what I would see in five minutes?
What about like knowing outcomes as to change just your actions. Like knowing who will win a sport and betting on it. Or seeing your death because of an accident and don’t go that way.
Also, is the 5 minutes daily cumulative? So you could use a few seconds multiple times a day to look forward to make anticipated moves that benefit you.
Need more clarity on what black does. With enough control over what you view, it would seem very powerful. First use it to glimpse what the stock market is doing. Trading options, use that to become very wealthy in a quick fashion (and become ruler of r/WSB). Then use it to glimpse key discoveries in life extending technology and pass those onto your personally hired lab filled with scientists, preparing a cure for whatever negatives you face in life. Foresee bad things that'll happen to you and avoid them using your money and scientists.
But if it means you glimpse random moments of the future, or things you can't change, it would be much less useful.
Grey also needs better clarity on what it gives you. Could be useful. Could step into a dimension where you instantly die.
Blue
I want to learn all the things i procrastinate learning so i can know a fuck ton about plants and farming and crops so i can live my dream life in my cabin in the woods. Also learn a bunch about investing so i can just sit back and chill and tend to my chickens and tomatoes😩
I work in animal welfare and rescue. Do you know what I would give to understand them?
"Which family do you want to go home with?"
"Woof. They're all pretty great, but the Johnson's really pull my heartstrings. Woof."
"Has the pain medication kicked in, baby girl?"
"Woof. Yes. Everyone is so gentle. Woof."
"We love you, baby girl. Who beat you with a bat?"
"Woof. Jimmy on the corner. Woof."
"Get some rest, baby girl. I'll take care of him."
"Woof. Use his bat."
Lol, the only problem with the Jimmy situation is the dog can't testify as a witness for you if you beat Jimmy's ass and he tries to sue you or have you arrested. But you made me laugh
grey, i can travel to a dimension (i assume this is similar to hopping universes) which contains the cure for old age, disease, whatever i need and live forever
Hungry or thirsty. Thats 2 basic needs totally eliminated. If Im not eating or drinking, Im also not using the bathroom. That makes 3 basic needs eliminated. Thats hella time saved. Plus the time saved cleaning up after those activities adds even more benefit. I can become a charity livestream god.

Oh my god being immune to disease. No more seasonal cold? No risk of cancer ever? Sign me the fuck up!
Bro for real it’s honestly not even a question
Absolutely I'd choose that one. I wonder if they count addiction as a disease in this hypothetical..
Addiction is categorized as a disease by most medical associations so I’m going to say absolutely So not only that but depression anxiety etc. orange pill is slept on
But you can still get murdered or be injured permanently in so many other ways and have to live with that.
That can happen whenever in my real life too lol. I’m just taking one major contributor to death out of the question. I mean imagine being immune to cancer? The common cold? The plague? You’d live for a very long time, if you don’t get murdered ( which most people don’t )
No cancer, heart disease, or mental illness? I could actually work as much as a normal person. Orange pill is superior.
Is radiation poisoning a disease? If so I could do jobs that no other person could physically do, and make so much bank
Did not even take that into consideration. I chose intelligence as I could take on high paying jobs but that’s even better. Less hours more money
Intelligence and income aren't related, otherwise professors would get paid better
I don't think I *want* to be that smart. 250 is smarter than the smartest people in history. You would be completely incapable of making and keeping friends due to having no peers. Being completely unable to stand conversation with other people would be so lonely. It sounds miserable.
No more STDs, imagine the possibilities
Hookers are 90% off with no downside
If this includes mental illness too, good god never having to go through Alzheimers or Dementia...
Both physical illnesses really, so they’d be included anyway
Can’t believe this isn’t everyone’s answer
Honestly, I can't believe that is anyone's answer. Think of what you can do with basically any of the other ones. We basically already have partial disease immunity thru antibiotics and modern medicine, and it'll only get better. If we're all gen Z here it's likely even many cancers etc. will be curable by the time we are in peak risk ages.
As a gen z with chronic physical and mental illnesses I would absolutely choose that one, it would completely change my life
If you pick grey, you can just go to a dimension where there is a cure already
Picking grey requires making multiple assumptions that I don't think I'd be comfortable with making. - The assumption that there even are multiple dimensions - The assumption that those other dimensions have complex life - The assumption that some of those dimensions can support human life - The assumption that some of those dimensions are much more advanced than ours, to the point where they have cures for all diseases - The assumption that, of those dimensions, the diseases that they have cures for are the same as the ones that exist in our dimension, our at least that their cures would work on our diseases - The assumption that of those dimensions, there exists at least one that simply gives out the cures to anyone for free with no questions asked. - The assumption that you'd have complete control over which dimension that you'd be able to travel to
Okay, I can make those multiple assumptions, so I am any day taking that grey pill.
Will I be able to survive in different dimensions?
You can, except in the dimensions where you can’t.
You'll know which ones those are when you get there.
I feel like most dimensions would spawn kill you
Nah just gotta pick the right one, just don’t fall in the river of styx
Yeah, you figure it out pretty quick.
Just go to the dimension that has maps for all the other dimensions
Ok. What if you can't survive that one?
Not in the dimention where oxygen is replaced by cyanide.
imagine the people that live in that dimension breath cyanide
Doesn't mean I do tho
Dimensions are components of spacetime, not an alternate universe. You already possess the ability to travel three of the known dimensions. The fourth, time, is the only one you might gain access to if you take that pill.
But String Theory says we create new dimensions ~~whenever the current iteration of String Theory once again fails to accurately describe a new discovery~~
Who know science work differently in different dimension In dimension without atom, how do thing form?
Dimensions are not a universe. They are physical positions in spacetime. We're not even certain there is a multiverse. "Dimension" is the wrong word.
so its a time machine pill? what would come after time?
[The current hypothesis is that there are 11 possible dimensions in the universe.](https://interestingengineering.com/science/how-many-dimensions-does-our-universe-really-have)
So technically would this super power basically be time travel and teleportation combined? If yes, then this isn’t even a competition. Way too over powered.

Once spacetime has expanded (which it is perpetually doing) to the point that there is literally nothing within a given point in spacetime, it becomes unstable. This implies that the instability will cause the nothingness to become something to reassert stability, which may well be where all matter and energy in the universe originates from. This ability would answer many, many questions about the nature of our universe and teach us what the ultimate fate of life could be.
I don't know, but it seems like a lot of people are confusing dimensions for alternate realities...
This, is a wonderful question. I just started a book called "A Brief History Of Everything" in which the writer is speaking with someone about how it is possible multiple universes have come and gone and this just happens to be the one we can exist in.

You know that if your IQ was over 250
Did you ever watch "The Mist?" No thanks
If Green Goblin can so can you.
Not if Lovecraft was right.
Blue so I can Fabricate the other pills
intelligence doesn't solve every problem.
But it can make stuff to solve other problems
some
If we look at histories most influential intelligent people we find that a lot of them were at around 140-200 IQ. Now, if we were to add 50-110 IQ to that (and presuming no government decided to vanish you to either do tests on or ask for your help) we can presume you'd be able to learn and solve extremely complicated quantum and math questions that boggles even the brightest of this era.

Tbf all solvable problems require some form of intelligence
No matter how intelligent, you can't defy reality. If these pills are made by some good beyond our rules I doubt you could make any of the others no matter how intelligent
You're a bummer.
You won’t be able to make any of those pills with an IQ of only 250. Except purple. But that’s just called steroids
The only problem with increased intelligence is can see is that it makes you very lonely. I am actually Gen X and they thought it a great idea when I was a kid to keep all the “smart” kids together. It had its advantages (bullying was less rampant), but a lot of kids didn’t get to know or operate with “normal” kids. My son who is Gen z is having problems with this at times in college now.

Sorry but I hate being sick with a passion, Im taking the orange pill.
and if aging is a disease…
I’d say a bullet is a disease too….
Guevn the fact that aging is caused by cells dying and there are animal species that dont age It is a disease
but "death of natural causes" is old age, is it not? therefore it is not **legally** a disease
Probably because death is so universal and so prevalent everywhere that weve just accepted it as a normal thing when it isnt. (This is just my opinion, dont take it as a fact. Im incredibly scared of growing old and dying so its just heavy cope)
Now that is genius
I’d be hyped because I don’t have to take the 5-6 different meds I do know, asthma? Gone. Epilepsy? Gone. Severe Chronic Allergies? Gone
I agree it’s a good choice, but I feel it’s important to point out that neurodivergence isn’t a disease. Depression, yes, but ADHD? Nope. It’s not wrong, just different
It's not?
It’s not, while ADHD does have its downsides, it’s also gives as much as it takes, and most importantly, at least for me, it’s become a big part of who I am and how I deal with things
I have depression, anxiety, ptsd and AuADHD. I'd give up those first three in a heartbeat, believe me, but I don't think your logic applies to mental "diseases" because the examples you have are not diseases. ADHD is a mental disorder, not a disease. Similar types of neurodoversity such as autism, is classified as a developmental disability. PTSD is again, a condition/disorder, not a disease. I don't think you intended on being ableist but that's where you arrived. Please refrain from using language such as "disease" when referring to ADHD, other types of neurodiversity, and serious trauma-induced conditions because while I know we're just doing fun and games here, such language especially in casual settings works to further alienate and other us. Again, I don't think this was your intention, but I thought I'd give my two cents as a person with the disorders you mentioned so that you won't make the same mistake in your everyday life. /gen
PINK no questions asked
“Whats up cat?” “Oo oo aa aa me hungry, me want food. Give me pink tuna”. “Yo cat, remember what I told you yesterday?” “No”
Gold
“cat, i love you” ”and..?”
Army of crows here I come!
You get 2
Agreed. To be able to explain to my furry kids why I have to leave them alone sometimes or why we can't go for a walk at the moment but we'll go at a certain time would be worth everything. Plus I would have been able to talk to my favorite bestest little girl who meant the world to me and I had to put down last year due to cancer. I would have asked her how she felt and could have used that information to make her as comfortable as possible for the time she had left. No other choice comes close.
Exactly. If only i could explain to my cat that the vet is well intentioned and that we aren’t leaving him there forever…
My dog cooperates so well with going.
This is close to the top for me. There have been so many times in which I’ve wanted to tell an animal that what they are doing/about to do will bring harm to them, but I can’t do anything because they cannot understand me.
You’d go crazy if farm animals could communicate their suffering to you
Being able to talk to animals would be depressing AF considering the current mass extinction event with wildlife and factory farming for domesticated animals. I worked at a fish hatchery for a time, I always had a nagging thought, "if fish could scream... This would be as loud and horrifying as the worst factory farms." Birds reporting their losses during migration, habitats and centuries-old breeding grounds demolished. Whales and dolphins able to explain how loud and polluted the ocean really is. Communication would add another level of empathy that would radically change how we view human development
red
If we are being 100% realistic, I feel like this is BY FAR the best choice. Most of the other pills are effectively flashy superpowers that would make you a worldwide target for every government and military. Some of them (look into the future) would probably drive you insane. The red is incredibly underrated and people seem to not realize how it would benefit them - never have to worry about money, employment, job - never have to worry about being lonely - option to become famous if you want - everyone likes you all the time, nobody would ever suspect you of wrong doing - you essentially have a mild form of mind control that wouldn’t make you a target - most people picking the red would end up being very happy and fulfilled in their life, because society would conform to your will The financial, social, and even legal freedom you get from this is just beyond anything else offered here.
You would worry about being lonely though. Fame also can be very irritating when you just want to have a private life like everyone else without lots of unwanted attention coming to your door - and every other damn place. And not everyone would like you either. Also, a lot of "attractive" people can have really awful personality traits which makes them off-putting even to their own partners. Then you end up at square one. Lol
Good thing you’re also super charismatic If it was just “you’re really good looking” I’d agree. But they specifically say you’re also attractive in terms of personality which means your instincts and default behavior will always be loved
People can be jealous and vindictive towards charismatic people. A few of the popular ones have been even killed. I don't think it's this automatic pass to happiness.
But I think at the same time people will also defend and protect you because you’re attractive and charming. Sometimes even if you have shit behavior deep inside, but you’re pretty and good with words (kinda a manipulative charm) then there’s almost always a security to happiness and success. You will ALWAYS have people who will side with you. You can never be isolated.
Not only that, but if you're smart, you could use it to get in a position to make smarter people make the rest. I saw a similar argument made for the blue one, but why do the work yourself?
yeah, red is like a constant +5 stat increase type of deal.
Red is my pick too. I feel like it would help in many situations. The charisma part in particular.
If you have decent looks, brown is even better. You know who's interested in you, how to manipulate them, and even their passwords. Not only would you be popular with the opposite sex but you'd even be able to detect corrupt popiticians and blackmail them. Depending on how the ability works, you could even read their minds and predict their moves, which would also make you a fearsome opponent at poker and chess
If I may give a counterpoint, I'd say that corrupt politicians are already pretty easy to detect and that their behavioral patterns are already known well enough to be able to know exactly what crimes they get up to in their free time and who they're taking money from just from what they're saying on the job. I'd also argue that if you knew *everything* about someone, you'd probably lose respect for them pretty quickly, even if they are actually good people, because everyone has some parts of themselves that they keep hidden for good reasons even if they're completely innocent and just weird.
It would be awesome too if I were still my uggo self but *perceived* as incredibly attractive and charming
Yeah, it seems like an obvious choice for me
250 iq would be awful. i’d like to take to animals, I wanna know what my cat is thinking
why would 250 iq be awful?
you'd just end up frustrated that nobody else makes the same logical assumptions that you do
Im just a regular ass gifted kid and experience this. I cant imagine how bad it'd be for a hypergenius
I totally agree. You’d probably go mad in a week
Ignorance is bliss
Brown. I’d ignore the personal stuff, but knowing everything about people will improve negotiations greatly
You would also be one of the best robbers in the digital age. You can look at them and know their bank passwords and credit card numbers along with their security questions.
Yeah, but I wouldn’t do that
And thats what makes you a hero 🫡
Honestly the most useful pill here. Could be the key to getting everything you’ve ever wanted.
Only if u can choose to turn it on/off.
exactly why i chose it as well
[удалено]
Same, Gray. Maybe I can find a Cosmos where I can be happy
Hear me out, pick blue then you can invent an AGI to be friends with. Then build a rocket and leave this godforsaken rock behind
Green. Assuming whatever energy my body uses or doesn't use gets managed in the most efficient way possible, it effectively gives me the ability to work on body training until my muscles get sore without having to worry about dehydration or hunger giving me a headache. I also can spend more time doing other things since I don't have to eat or drink anything. It also gives me the ability to survive literally anywhere given I have the appropriate clothing for the weather. I feel like green makes several of the others kind of redundant.
Yup, being hydrated all the time would definitely help both my fitness and intelligence (brain function)
I’m doing orange. My biggest fear as a bi man is STDs and since my family also has a long history of cancer and heart issues, orange is the best choice for me.
People are sleeping on this one, no more vaccines, pills or vitamins ever again. You’d never have to worry about eating right.
See, you get it. The rest of the people here just thinking super powers, we are valuing health.
Black pill will help you win the bets, so you will make unlimited money with near zero effort, which makes useless blue, red, violet, white and brown because with them you obviously should work more and they are pretty limited. Orange, green, yellow and cyan are even more useless because almost all of that can be done with money (ability to fly would get boring after a while, like everything). Pink and grey may be chosen by people who are interested in world exploration.
I scrolled WAY too far down to find this choice.
My initial pick was red but this is actually a pretty good point. You could probably fake the effects of red with that power depending on how it works. If a given decision has multiple options, can you see the results of all of them? If so, the future writes your speeches for you
It will be funny to see your face when doctors say that despite all your money, they can't save you from your deadly disease.
it seems like a random 5 minutes. is it like assasains creed where you can control your future self to look around? is it just a random pan shot? do you know everything around the whole planet for those 5 minutes? vagueness made me pick other pills
10x speed is a curse if you age and get tired 10x faster, otherwise it is OP. immune to all disease is OP, if aging is a disease. interdimensional travel is OP with the multiverse interpretation of quantum physics. if the previous are not OP, give me 250IQ.
I’d take orange even if aging isn’t a disease. A pain free life, sign me up.
I'm taking that orange-ish one. That'll come in handy in my career as a doctor.
Black. Use that glimpse into the future to make incredibly lucrative trades in the stock market to amass massive wealth. Use that wealth to better the lives of myself and everybody around me. We do live in a world that revolves around money after all
Blue/first one!!!! Everything else is superficial, the intellectual talent will pay for itself
  99.99999999999999999999923801469758 percentile for IQ
Yellow 10x speed would go crazy
Orange.
Black. Check the lottery numbers and retire immediately
Fly. I would just chill in the sky and listen to music. The ultimate hammock
that sounds so peaceful
White.
Green seems like the best on the surface, but there's a difference between being hungry and thirsty and actually requiring nourishment. I'm afraid I would die of dehydration before I get to the benefits of not having to eat
If green is literally face value, its meh. If the intent was no more required eating or drinking, its value shoots up immensely. The amount time you would save is immense. Not to mention no more heat stroke.
Theoretically, Purple can also partially mimic the effects of Red (some people find strength attractive), Orange (improved physicality in turn improves the immune system), and Yellow (better reaction times).
Orange so i could sell my own blood for scientific research so I get $$$$$
Grey hands down. I can finally live my fanfics
Probably orange. I have bad health anxiety so that'd be a huge weight off.
Orange gang rise up
I’m taking the cyan So many employment opportunities from that And then the ability to travel wherever in the world you want to, would be so cool
Pink
Fly. Simple. Idk about not being hungry. Like where’s the fun in that
I wanted to communicate with animals when I was a kid but after learning about nature I think all I’d hear is screaming.
purple. i don’t care about the effects, it’s my favorite color
Pink, easily.
Pink for sure
Pink. I’ve always wanted that ability! Cyan is a close second.
Im taking brown or red I like charisma builds in games so prolly red
We already have the power to travel between the dimensions… that’s not a superpower lol. We live in a 3 dimensional universe plus we move through time, which is a fourth
Green. I want to be able to feed me and my family without having to pay so much money. And if we have any food left over, I want to give it to the homeless that I live near, there's too many to count.
Just pick black, make a shit ton of money and then solve world hunger
Seriously. You could make the world a utopia by making massive amounts of money in the stock market and then setting up infrastructure around the world to sustainably feed people, cure diseases, and stop climate change.
This. This is the function of green. Not *going* hungry/thirsty, not never *feeling* hungry/thirsty, nor not *needing* food and water. Respectable choice.
either violet or blue-green, i want to be a superhero
Sadly orange 🙃
Black. Can hopefully get confirmation that free will doesn't exist. The thing is, we don't know how it works. Is it the future where I didn't get the glimpse into the future? If so then it isn't accurate since with the knowledge the future would be different since I would act different knowing what could happen. If it is the future where I got this same glimpse, then it means I can't change anything, since seeing the glimpse doesn't change anything about the state of the universe now. Also how do u even see the glimpse? Is it any place or just what I would see in five minutes?
What about like knowing outcomes as to change just your actions. Like knowing who will win a sport and betting on it. Or seeing your death because of an accident and don’t go that way. Also, is the 5 minutes daily cumulative? So you could use a few seconds multiple times a day to look forward to make anticipated moves that benefit you.
Grey so I can find the perfect universe.
Purple for sure.
Cyan or red
Need more clarity on what black does. With enough control over what you view, it would seem very powerful. First use it to glimpse what the stock market is doing. Trading options, use that to become very wealthy in a quick fashion (and become ruler of r/WSB). Then use it to glimpse key discoveries in life extending technology and pass those onto your personally hired lab filled with scientists, preparing a cure for whatever negatives you face in life. Foresee bad things that'll happen to you and avoid them using your money and scientists. But if it means you glimpse random moments of the future, or things you can't change, it would be much less useful. Grey also needs better clarity on what it gives you. Could be useful. Could step into a dimension where you instantly die.
Gray for sure.
Red and brown will make life significantly more fun but i’ll probably stick with just red.
Orange, I hate being sick
Take the black pill and go to a casino
Orange for the love of my life, and brown for myself
Ignorance is bliss. There are some things you don't want to know about people
Brown seems OP
brown pill. I want a video game encyclopedia description of everybody i see
Brown, the most undetectable one.
Pink?
Pink
Pink!!
Pink, and send massive waves of birds to shit on everyone who annoys me.
Blue I want to learn all the things i procrastinate learning so i can know a fuck ton about plants and farming and crops so i can live my dream life in my cabin in the woods. Also learn a bunch about investing so i can just sit back and chill and tend to my chickens and tomatoes😩
that sounds amazing
I work in animal welfare and rescue. Do you know what I would give to understand them? "Which family do you want to go home with?" "Woof. They're all pretty great, but the Johnson's really pull my heartstrings. Woof." "Has the pain medication kicked in, baby girl?" "Woof. Yes. Everyone is so gentle. Woof." "We love you, baby girl. Who beat you with a bat?" "Woof. Jimmy on the corner. Woof." "Get some rest, baby girl. I'll take care of him." "Woof. Use his bat."
Lol, the only problem with the Jimmy situation is the dog can't testify as a witness for you if you beat Jimmy's ass and he tries to sue you or have you arrested. But you made me laugh
None of these really look all that attractive to me
Blue all day. I’ll be rich asf and go down on history books.
At least take them out to dinner first!
grey, i can travel to a dimension (i assume this is similar to hopping universes) which contains the cure for old age, disease, whatever i need and live forever
Green for me please. I forget to eat and drink all the time and with that I wouldn't have to worry about it!
Brown
red!
Either teal or purple
I choose blue.
Yellow. I want super-speed.
Blue ez
I’m kinda lonely. Gimme the red pill.
green or purple
Red because what's the point of success if I ain't got anyone to share it with
Hungry or thirsty. Thats 2 basic needs totally eliminated. If Im not eating or drinking, Im also not using the bathroom. That makes 3 basic needs eliminated. Thats hella time saved. Plus the time saved cleaning up after those activities adds even more benefit. I can become a charity livestream god.
Grey or red. It’s a tough choice but, I think I’m leaning grey. Just too curious about what other dimensions would be like.
Green, I would save so much money on food
Purble
Brown and orange
