1 & 2 are the same pill, unless 2 also stops you from putting on muscle mass which would be a real negative. In the same vein, "no more fat" taken too literally will just kill you, as humans need at least 4-5% body fat to live.

If you read them kindly "dont gain weight from eating" means you will burn fat just day to day, eventually hitting equilibrium. "No more fat" means you won't gain fat, so you can just eat excessively and youre at equilibrium. Neither affects you at a calorie deficit, and both do the same thing at a calorie surplus.

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week 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.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I prefer being the monkey paw in these scenarios. Way more fun and you can be creative.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

1 and 2 are definitely not the same

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"

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, "Don't gain weight from eating" would mean that any dieting you do would be permanent. You lose 1 oz, that 1 oz is gone forever.

Super easy to lose weight that way, but also, potentially risky in that you could unintentionally diet away all of your body fat and not be able to replace it.

Even if you're a consistent overeater, you're going to have days where you can't hit your target and lose more weight.

Sounds more like a curse than a blessing.

You'd be lucky to make it to your mid 60s unless you started out very overweight and didn't try to crash diet your way to "normalcy".

[–] frog@feddit.uk 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think 5 and 9.

i don't really want the rest.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week 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

  1. feels like a trap, once you burn 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 long 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

[–] atlien51@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Bro sat here and broke down each option 😭 love it

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] LarsIsCool@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week 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 6 points 1 week 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

I am underweight so 2 would probably kill me. 4 would make my gender dysphoria worse. 7 would be a nightmare since i have social anxiety

Why is there no estrogen pill?

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Because those are real and you can take them for real ❤️

5,6,9 easy.

Some are void if you are always happy.

Skinny, happy, and rich - perfect combo!

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.

[–] JiminaMann@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah yes my favourite trend of monkey paw: removing the fking benefit instead of giving side effects, while making things worse

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, right! The monkey paw does it to someone else most of the time, like "you get the money but someone else dies and the money is compensation or inheritance"

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago

It's more like conservation of karma. You get a thing you wanted at a price you weren't prepared to pay.

Trying to follow those guidelines, I would guess the list would be something more like:

1: Nothing changes, the only difference is that if you would otherwise put on more body fat than you currently have, the excess fat gets turned to horrible uncontrollable diarrhea that hits with no warning, so now you have to be on a diet for the rest of your life or else you'll shit yourself in public.

2: Has to spend the rest of your life eating more than you burn as any weight you lose would be permanently lost, which will eventually kill you unless something else kills you first. This is computed by your original weight, so even if you would be fine with 800 calories, you must consume your current maintenance calories every day for the rest of your life. (See: Steven King's Thinner)

3: You are unable to purchase anything. Every transaction fails. If people do not feed you out of the kindness of their hearts, or failing that, you are unable to barter for goods and services, you will die of hunger and exposure to the elements.

4: You get 5cm taller. People start telling you how much they liked you the way you were and that they feel lesser about you now that you're taller. The new people you meet often comment on how hot/sexy/great/beautiful you would be if only you were a little bit shorter.

5: You become super strong but your bones and tendons can't keep up. Using your super strength is pussyfooting with permanent disability.

6: No, yours is right. "you can not feel anything but happiness - no pain, anger, sadness, nothing but joy" Banger. Spot on. No Notes.

7: Have many followers would be worse if it was just a cult of people who follow you everywhere you go. The only time you can be alone is in your own home, until they realize they can just break in.

8: Forget your ex lover but they forget you too. You eternal sunshine of the spotless mind each other

9: A lot of money but the people you love die. <- This was one of the original monkey's paws, iirc.

No more shopping for groceries, you have to forage in the woods from here on out

Ah, the simple bare necessities!

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 2 points 1 week ago

Yep. No need for anything else really.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 6 points 1 week ago
[–] mcmodknower@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Only 9, the rest are useless/bad for me. 1 and 2 are nearly the same, and not a thing i have a problem with. 3 idk what the benifit of it should be. 4 i am tall enough. 5 would be nice sometimes, but at other times it would only cause you to break things. 6 it would be bad to not be able to cry in bad situations, as these are also part of life. 7 i don't need publicity 8 i don't have an ex 9 you can do a lot with money in this world

I'd pick 459 if I could put the 5cm on my ding dong.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
  1. As long as i can stop smiling at funerals. I'm not unhappy but more is better.

Then 4. 5. Or 9. Are my options.

I'll probably take 9. I have enough money today but I've been disciplined with my spending my entire life. It's just something that I can stop thinking about.

  1. Or 5. Would just be vanity, but if I'm happy I don't really see the problem. Maybe 2. So I don't have to think about that either.

5,6,9. Already have 1,2

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Hit me with the 159, chef.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago
[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

No more fat? Like, for me or for the entire world? Because that’s terrifying either way. I’d die within minutes in either case.

5, 7 and 9 so I can start a revolution. I've made my peace with the fact that most people follow, live and die for people, not ideals and values (only the leaders do, and when they don't it all collapses), might as well play my role with my new superpowers, lol.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

With 5, 7 and 9 I could start a cult.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

5/9/7

Get followers and then ask each one for $1 and tell them to do it monthly to support the greater good.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

5 and 9 pretty op compared to others so most people will choose that. From the others i guess and extra 5cm never hurts so im going with the same as op.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

After 9 the 6 is bundled in for free
