6:32 just wish you were completely immune to fall damage permanently and then you never have to waste another wish. you cant change the fact that you'll be thrown out of an airplane with a 1% chance that your parachute wont open, but you can easily change the chance that you survive even if your parachute doesnt open
yeah, that's the big flaw with that button, they do not specify that dying if the parachute fails cannot be affected by wishes, it's only the parachute failure that is out of your control.
even if we factor "your wishes dont work when you're falling" you can just wish for the plane to never go high enough to kill you and have a crew ready every day just to catch you
Love the point Alpha made at 5:53 about I would rather lose someone I love to cancer than for them to lose me to cancer, I had a brain aneurysm a couple years back and honestly I think it was harder on my friends and family than it was on me edit: Also, easy answer to the 6:35 one, just make your 1st wish "I wish I could fly"

The chances of someone you know diying, are so ridiculously low by killing 100 people randomly that you might as well fear that a lightning fell on them.
I hear some people's usual adblock ain't working anymore since apparently the companies responsible for ads for example can pay some of the adblock owners to _not have their ads hidden._ so glad mine still works for all sites though.
21:43 Break the space heater, it never said he always has one, nor that he'll always follow you, he'll just follow you everywhere, you can leave him at the entrance of a building... Or the space heater very well may have no effect since your always at the comfortable temperature, meaning you can go ahead and rub your hand against the heating element of his space heater to mock his failed attempt to ruin your homeostasis.
Fun fact, following a court case revolving around the ford pinto, a popular vehicle that had a known design flaw its gas storage at the back of the car, leading to explosions from even minor collisions often killing or maiming anyone in the back seat. The company lead determined the price of lawsuits would be 30% less expensive than the cost to recall the vehicles (like the button). So now the minimum cost of human life must be valued at $1,000,000 per human when making risk assessments.
5:51 this is exactly how I feel and Ive thought about this kinda scenario way more than is probably healthy, but yeah I respect Jacobs take so much since I feel the same
But in regards to the button, I can only see this as a tempting scenario if you follow a “better them than me” kind of logic, which I do not. It’s not like you’re the only one affected anyway; that partner also has their own family that has to grieve.
for the one where you're skinny but others see you ass fat, do you think you would slam into door edges cause you think you fit or do others see you just phase through
i'd imagine it's like the Somebody Else's Problem Field from h2g2, where they can see the reality of the situation if they focus on it but their opinion won't change because the whole thing is a mental blind spot
7:10 easy loophole, the day beforehand just wish that you can no longer take fall damage, so that when you roll the 1% chance, even though you can't wish yourself out of the situation, you're already invulnerable to the fall damage of hitting the ground
That question regarding the loved one and ♋️ (using that just incase youtube deletes it), as someone who has lost someone that close to me, I 1000% agree with your reasoning. I know what it's like to go through that, the emotions you feel. It is truly one of the worst things imaginable. And if I truly loved someone, I wouldn't want them to go though with that pain. I've dealt with it before, so I can deal with it again as long as my partner wouldn't go through that same pain I did.
Consider this. What if, with imortality could let you domension hop? once our universe has stopped expanding, it will start to shrink. you could get dragged to the supermassive black hole at the center of our universe and get sent through into, possibly, another universe.
I think lots of these are really skewed. I got one that's "you can breathe underwater but that's because you turned into a mermaid" and 47% said yes...like...bro you just live in the ocean forever now
Humanity's strongest soldier is self explanatory. Take every soldier, warrior, or a similar fighting role in Earth's history, and boom, you are now stronger than all of them. Honestly, being 5'2 and that strong sounds pretty fuckin based.
17:35 I immediately decided to not push the button, because the "upside" is more of a downside than the downside is, because it seems like mind control or a love potion or something else fake like that.
25:39 I get random bursts of happiness on occasion, but zi like feeling sad sometimes too... Though I could go without the unknowing upset numbness I have frequently...
10:42 it builds up, however to prevent bloating it compresses itself, so you always feel like you gotta go, but you can't, as the matter condesnes into a black hole (which doesn't qualify as a disease) and you colapse in on yourself.
While it would be groundbreaking to know what goes on inside animals’ heads, the reason why I love my pets is because exactly that - they’re my pets. The relationship changes once they start talking as Jacob was getting at

26:00 It took me over 5 long years to write my favorite song! I'm not sacrificing my ability to listen to and further improve it for sniffles resistance!
Never being surprised means almost always being bored. Unless you really enjoy meditative tasks like wall painting where the successful outcome is always the same. But you have no reason to talk or mess with anyone as you already know every reaction.
Nahhh man just because you're not surprised doesn't mean you know exactly was coming. It's not like you're surprised by what someone is saying every single time you talk to them, right? Even if you don't know what they're gonna say
26:20 So I get deported, but wealthy... So basically I can buy a mansion for myself and a bunch of my closest friends and live in some of the more underappreciated hidden gems of the world... ... ... Nah, I'm too attached to my home.
24:52 As a person who made a Tumblr account and never used it, I see no downside. If someone hacked it during that time and brings something awful up I'll laugh and say: "Oh yeah, I forgot I had a Tumblr account... No, that's not my doing it's a hackers free for all ground wielding my name now."
12:18 This one is actaully great, because I have watched enough Antiques Road Show to know that the things that even slightly differ might be worth 100,000 more than regular stuff, so imagine having the only PS6 with a black and white monitor IN THE ENITRE WORLD. Not only would be people find that odd, the company that makes it won't even knoe what happened to make it only glack and white meaning it could be worth loads (collector's wise) then regular next gen consoles.
16:06 doesn't this just mean your relationship with spiders etc will remain unchanged but you won't be bothered by bugs? or does it mean arachnids will be even more aggressive than before?
I have to take a shower every day because you can't live in this extremely hot and humid country without doing so frequently. That's why most people chose to not press that button, it's not about ego.
6:29 well... i could just wish to have wings beforehand and now having a parachute is rather an inconvenience travelling around the city is kinda painful with all of that traffic and public transport so having a way to move around quickly and independently would be very convenient... maybe it would also allow to perform some jobs, however i actually had some ultra realistic dreams and i swear using wings is exhausting
I like the question wherein you get to be a "super soldier" but you're 1.6m because it assumes the reader is already tall if you're already 5'3" or shorter, it's just a straight upgrade lol
Honestly the one thats:"insects will leave you alone BUT arachnids wont" it doesnt say arachnids will be out for you it just says they wont leave you alone which they already dont do. This just means i dont have to deal eith mosquetos and stuff and still dont have to was worry about 90% of arachnids
