Poll: Would you take a randomized life over your own?

[noname223]

Randomized in the sense that you get the life of someone else on this planet. It can be any of those 8 billion.
I am not sure. Preferably, I would like to never wake up. But there is a lot of shit happening around the world. And Germany is like winning the lottery. The same problems I currently have but living in India....well I would not want that. I think I keep my life and still kill myself eventually. But I am really not sure whether this would be a smart choice. I would not want to live in Palestine that's for sure.

I mean, I'd like to adjust for 1st world and female because knowing my luck, I'm going to get some Nigerian male wage slave who miraculously lives to 110~

 

[pain6batch9]

Way too dangerous. I'll probably switch and end up as a penguin.

I feel you. Thank you for this comment it made me chuckle. Hugs :)

Too risky... Just thinking about the possibilities sends shivers down my spine.

Well, now, I didn't know we were allowed to set parameters!!

There was a website about if you were born today, where would you be born, but I forgot the web url and couldn't find it when I tried searching it up unfortunately~ :(

 

[Praestat_Mori]

No. Chances are probably very high that my life would worse.

 

[Ironborn]

Fuck it, why not.

 

[Unhumanly.]

With my mental barrier and limitation, I won't have a good life as anyone and anywhere the place, as clueless as always

 

[wCvML2]

No, that would be way too risky considering I could end up in a 3rd world country with shitty options. I work at a job in a 1st world country that has foreign workers from 3rd world countries and the fact they get paid less than me just because they're foreign is horrible. Their contractor gets something like a third of their pay.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm very unlucky so it's extremely likely that any new life I reroll into would mostly be worse.

 

[Blurry_Buildings]

Not over my own neccessarily, but I've always wanted to be a different person

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No. The only type of life that I want is to be a billionaire and be a neet in peace without anybody bothering me. There are only a few people in the world who get that privilege. Chances are that I would just get an average, normie life which I absolutely refuse to live as. The probability is against me

 

[avalonisburning]

I can barely handle the most Weenie Hut Juniors-adjacent version of life some people have in America. If I accepted this deal, I'm likely to just end up as an even unluckier person in India, PRC, or Russia. I would say no.

 

[Davey40210]

If it would erase my mind then maybe. But if it's me, there is no way I would be happier since I'm in quite a good place now compared to 99% of the planet and still miserable.

 

[coolgal82]

i'd love to. i'd love to be literally anyone but me lmao.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

No. Chances are probably very high that my life would worse.

Same

 

[Emeralds]

No. Everyone has their own problems even if they don't always talk about it. I could end up with a worse life. It's a trap to think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

 

[_AllCatsAreGrey_]

Your question is exactly what this dice room does in Binding of Isaac. I've never found it to be a good choice. True random is bad odds. You're likely better off with the choices you've made in the current playthrough.

 

[sserafim]

No

 

[ra1nw3rldd]

i keep telling myself i would rather be in like Gaza or Auschwitz cause no matter what, everyone else seems to have something i dont - real life human connection (and therefore a more meaningful life, even if its full of suffering or cut short)
but when presented with a poll in front of me i realize im just telling myself that rather than it being true

ive been listening to weird experimental music, 'No Wave', like Teenage Jesus & The Jerks just now
the very interests that end up being isolating are meaningful to me, and i wouldnt want to lose them just to become a random happier, more fulfilled person
if i was able to move out and live in the city earlier than surely i would at least know people by now who like The Velvet Underground or Bladee or whatever, or would probably be able to find like a bassist & a drummer

23 years so far havent been worth it but im still trying to find a means of recovery, maybe to somehow move out, maybe even if i could get paid a benefit for being autistic lol (but that would present other problems anyway lol)

 

[3/4Dead]

yeah, my odds for being cis are crazy high.

 

[MentalFuneral]

Lmao no imagine being reborn as a Chinese person who has to work 80 hours a week at the Shein factory just to survive

 

[rozeske]

No because it could get worse, it always does.

 

[Manfrotto99]

Certainly, I have nothing to loose, I could end up taking my life again or I could end up being in a situation that allowed me to live and enjoy life and things I missed out on. I'd take the gamble.

 

[heavyeyes]

Hell no

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I only want non-existence forever asap.

If I were not born yet I would never ask for a random life or even what most consider a "good" life. Non-existence > life

 

[JohnnySack]

hell no, despite me being here i can acknowledge i got it better than most people.

 

[bitofftoomuch]

yeah fuck it.

there's a good chance i'll be worse off, but I already want to CTB so I'll roll the dice for the chance of being free of that.

 

[Melly]

Hell no. The thought of reincarnation makes me want to puke. A big reason I even feel this horrible is because my life seems so terrible and yet somehow most of humanity has it worse. This is so unbearable to me
