Just thought I'd add a little game to spice up the forums a bit. :D
'Tis a very simple game:
---> as the title suggests, you answer the question above you, and then ask a question of your own :smirk:
To start the thread off, what is your favourite novel? :smirk:
Supreme_Idler joy of life, superstar of tomorrow, ttnh, lohp, rtw
Who's ur favorite villain...?
fayu_lovly adolf hitler
Would you prefer to see the world burn or for it to freeze up?
Difficult... Burn up, I suppose, so I can ride out of the flames, looking epic (until I burn to death)
Would you like the ability to use the internet whilst you sleep, or the ability to escape onto the internet at any moment (obviously being allowed to come back out whenever you want as well)?
Neverfire7 Neverfire7 Obviously the ability to escape into the internet at any moment :smirk:
Do you watch the animes? :scream: If so, what is the last one you watched?
Thriller Paradise
RolandooTheRussian I wonder who you are m8
Karvo04 I'm rolando
RolandooTheRussian (come on guys, read the rules! Answer the question above, ask one for the next person below. If you want to chat, do it on another thread or in the discord :sob: )
What languages do you speak? :smirk:
Supreme_Idler English :ok_hand: But I'm also fluent in the language of love (No, I'm not talking about French...) I can understand bits of French and Hindi and another minor language.
What's your most hated food/dish?
Neverfire7 Hawaiian pizza......cheese gives me a weird taste but I can ignore it cause I love the other stuff on pizzas, but fruit on a pizza is just crossing a line....tastes horrible.
Which hero do u know? In your community not on-screen
Supreme_Idler Sorry :(
What do you mean in your community?
It can be my parents if you're talking about them.
Numbers or letters? xD
"Numbers or letters" is that your question? Oppadaisukiesixty9
Favorite online game?
DaoistSimple My brothers and I used to cramp around a small laptop screen playing a small game called 'Bullet Time Fighting'. No one really has the time to do that anymore, so I'm rather fond of the memories I have.
What's your favourite Western novel?
Neverfire7 The Great Gatsby. Hated it when I was a student in high school, loved it as a teacher in high school. Love the message of it: The American Dream is dead, God is dead, innocence is dead, and none of that ever even existed in the first place.
Having 'physical relations' whenever you want for the rest of your life with no real emotion to it, or a single night just talking with someone you wish you could spend the rest of you life with?
ImperfectInfinity single night just talking with someone you wish you could spend the rest of you life with?
Anyday.
Would rather be able to only come outside from 3 am to 3 pm or only able to come outside from 3 pm to 3 am?
Neverfire7 3 am to 3 pm. Sleep is most important.
Die now with a 50% chance of transmigrating into life with everything you want (magic, cultivation, looks, money, you name it!)? But the other 50% is a horrible life.
Or play it safe and live the life you currently have.
IIXXII Life isn't fun without taking risks so I'd choose 50/50chance.
If you die and reincarnate which would you choose a life of a goat or become an eggplant?
An eggplant... For obvious reasons.
What is your hobby?
Piano i guess. Since it's the only one i can play.
If you were to be reincarnated as the MC of any novel who would it be and what is 1 thing you'd do differently?
The mc from overlord. I will atleast make one of the people in the guild to stay until the end when the MC got teleported into another world or I will choose not to mess up Albedo's settings. She's pretty disturbing with her obsession of Ainz
Favorite anime?
Code geass
Apple or Anroid?
NewCultivator Android
Favorite supporting character?(in anything)
Genos of One-punch man ------- oh how he is so persistent
In what way would you like to die? mwehehe
Very quickly... no pain at all :sob:
Wine or cheese? :smirk:
wine... i don't eat cheese alone aaacckk
facebook, instagram, or twitter?
Tishtishit Instagram. I've never been 'quippy' and from the very 1st I didn't like the interface of Twitter(very strong reasons as u can see)....Facebook is dead to me(but some funny vids).
Marvel or DC?
Al_theGenie marvel
If both ur mom and dad were in danger, who would you save(u can only pick one)
Jzrrztt_ My dad passed away a long time ago (God rest his soul)
So easy Q.
If a train was barreling down a track and there were 5 people tied to the tracks ahead, and you were on a bridge between the two, next to a fat/large/hefty person. If u threw the hefty person onto the tracks the train would definitely derail and not injure the five. What would you do? and why?
Al_theGenie
easy 1vs5 the fat person is dying, I could let do nothing and 5 people would die or I could kill 1 and save 5 people.
If the fat person was your dad/mom/best friend and the 5 people on the rails were your siblings/close friends who would you choose?
Al_theGenie Hehe... Sneaky trolley problem.. :wink:
Olivia :thinking: I would probably say that I'd still push down the parent/ best friend... But in reality, we'd both probably be screaming for help and then watch them die with tears streaming down our faces.
If there was a train headed towards five people, but you could pull a lever to redirect it onto another track to kill only one person, would you?
Neverfire7 I would (though conflicted). If in the same situation an AI was in charge and made the same choice (considering how automated stuff is becoming nowadays) does that make you feel differently about the choice?
Al_theGenie Although I feel an AI shouldn't be in charge in such situations (due to their lack of emotions and thus lack of fair, human justice), I feel that if it made that choice, it would be most correct, for an AI to make, as it follows the path of utilitarianism, on the spot, something that AIs probably would and (to an extent) should be programmed to follow (best action to benefit the majority). Of course, the concept of utilitarianism has its flaws... Even so, there's the thought of no emotions in it, so it's a frightening thought.
Oops... Sorry for the long answer...
If you were in a burning building and you had to pick one or the other and then leave, which would you choose?:
1) The only person (other than yourself) in the building, a child
or 2) A famous painting that could be sold for millions, which would then be able to help even more children
Bearing in mind, that when you choose one, you get it in perfect condition (the child has no burns or trauma, the painting is not damaged) and the one you leaves behind burns to... Non-existence, shall we say.
Neverfire7 The child. I'm not an AI, I would worry about about my mental stability later. What if I?......and so on. Plus what if after I save the child it becomes a sensational story leading to the formation of a large charity foundation, with connections and continuous support (basically sth money can't buy).
And I honestly don't think I could think that far ahead in such a situation, I'd reflexively go for the child.
Basically, A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Follow up to my last question what if the 5 were elderly retirees and the 1 was a child/teenager, does that change ur choice and do you think it would change the AIs?
Al_theGenie Good answer
As for your question... Ooooph... This is really gonna hurt me... I know what you're trying to say... The potential of life in the child is far greater than the potential of life in the 5 elderly retirees. Whilst there are more lives in the elderly group, there's only one life in the child's group... Hmm... The child has a lot more potential than the elderly people, however, the elderly people have a lot more unique knowledge than the child. I don't know if the AI would choose the greater number of lives, the greater amount of knowledge or the greater amount of potential. I've got a feeling the AI would choose the elderly because they two factors in favour of them, whilst the child only has one.
As for me, I'd probably choose to save the child. I know that's probably the cruel thing to do, but... thinking about it, I don't know why I'd choose the child over the elderly...
Ugh, sorry for the long answer again...
Related to your question, what if the 5 were normal children, with normal education and living circumstances, and the 1 was a child prodigy (who would definitely later grow on to be a leading scientist or something for humanity), the same age as them? What do you think you'd do? And what about an AI?
I'd save the prodigy no question. 5 normal people in exchange for one who could possible save the world with something they build or whatever maybe the prodigy might end world hunger. AI would probably do the same thing.
Would you sacrifice yourself to save the human race or if you decide not too you gain godly powers but you are forever by yourself the only living human on earth?
Geass11797 Definitely sacrifice...even without the forever alone thing I believe I can do whatever with my life and if I choose to value the common over myself, it's ok to sacrifice. But if I don't value them, I'd let them burn.
Would you rather be famous when you are alive and forgotten when you die or unknown when you are alive but famous after you die?
Neverfire7 Honestly I don't have life figured out yet but think about it like this .....we have no idea where lifewill take these 5...they could be the bodyguard that gives his life to save the prodigy later in life...but that's extreme. The potential of the genius is capped. We already know how he's gonna turn out....we know nothing of the normals, they could be under achievers or exceedingly over in another field.....excellence is more than intelligence.
