I would enjoy my newfound (dis?)-ability and maybe make some creative art out of it.

What would you do if you could suddenly see absolutely everything as transparent and see everything going on inside of everything, everywhere?
This would actually be a good thing, because you could see if people had cancer and get them treated right away. I would offer my services to the nearest hospital.

What would you do if you were shrunk down to one inch?

I would be part of the cast for Downsizing 2.

What if you had the anti-Midas-touch with electronics, and every phone you touched would instantly stop working?

I would offer it some tuna, if I could get to the tuna without being made into sushi. The poor cat is in a very unfamiliar environment and is incredibly stressed out. First step is to identify yourself to him as a friend, not a threat.

And that camera holder is very fortunate to still have all body pieces present and intact. The fool was deliberately provoking the lynx to get a reaction.

What would you do if your favorite food was suddenly not available, and would never be available again?

I think I should explain this.

When a lynx perceives a threat, the cat's first reaction is to freeze in place and let his natural camo hide him. If the lynx believes The Threat has spotted him, the second move is to leave the area. If the lynx can not leave the area, the third option is to offer a counter-threat and get The Threat to leave, or at least back off until the lynx can find a way out. If all else fails and the lynx believes The Threat is going to attack, the lynx will become a medium-size furry tornado with razor blades at all the edges.

This lynx was cornered and had already escalated to "counter-threat" level. The camera holder was moving closer, backing off, moving closer, backing off, just to get a reaction from the lynx. When the lynx growled, the camera holder seemed to think it was "cute." Though the camera holder may have just been ignorant of what the lynx was saying, a medium sized feline who is cornered and acting threatening should give enough clues that it needs to be left alone.

I don't think this would bother me that much anymore, as opposed to maybe a year ago because I'm quickly starting to lose interest in the pleasures of food and only focused on nutrients. That being said, I'd probably ignore my cravings and only drink/eat supplement shakes/bars.

What would you do if someone didn't agree with you insisting that they see a medical doctor and absolutely refused to do it, for their own personal reasons?

Depends on that personal reason. If it's reasonable, that fine, but if it's stupid, I would probably try to trick them into entering a clinic somehow.

What would you do if everyone but you and 14,999 other people suddenly got abducted by aliens?

I would sue for discrimination in alien Court. What is wrong with us that we were not good enough for the aliens?


What would you do if robots were able to do every job humans currently do, humans were not required to do anything else for all time and you could do anything you wanted for the rest of your life?

i would take off my thin gloves to use my anti-Midas-touch with electronics to disable the robots after i already had one of the robots design a new program to over write their original codes

then id use my robot army to save everyone who was abducted by aliens after with the flawless strategy of first distracting the aliens by placing a lynx in their kitchen


.... then shrinking them down to one inch while they werent looking with their own weapons before i finish my attack ....


then to make sure everyone i saved was ok.... i would make them go to the doctors even of they refused......

You won't believe what I'm about to type . . .

The night before last night, I woke up maybe about a couple hours after I feel asleep, which was at around 11 or 12, so I woke up at around 3 or 4 A.M. I laid in bed and I had this horrific sensation of pure dread come over me, and I had the "impression" of thoughts coming into my head, as if it were some sort of story that my mind was watching, about an impending alien invasion. From what I saw in my mind, the invasion was going to involve something inexplicable that would cause everyone who experienced it to go insane. It was such a disturbing experience that I got out of bed and started reading the Bible. I read a little bit of psalms and a part of my devotionals that I forgot to read earlier the other day. Never thought I'd ever be bringing this up, but this happened before I read your reply post on this page in this thread, so that's pretty darn weird.

Needless to say, the strange thoughts/mental images went away later on in the day after I had read the Bible that night. They sort of dwindled throughout the time that I woke up, so for most of the rest of the daytime, it was pretty much all gone. Hope to hell nothing like that ever happens, not that I believe that it is likely it will. If it could have happened, it would have happened by now. That's what I think.

I would figure out a way to live off the land and stay there.

What would you do if you met someone who was telepathic and telekinetic ... and they also hated you and were out to get you?

Get some superpowers myself. Then we can epically settle our differences and battle it out, and show em who's boss.

I would have a pet cat-a-mon and a pet dog-chu.

What would you do if all the contacts in your phone suddenly vanished and you had no idea how to call anybody because you didn't have anybody's number anymore?

If I were only alive when somebody was reading the book, how would I know about the rest of time when nobody was reading it?
Either way, I'd probably ask a lot of questions while the poor person was trying to read the book.

What would you do if most of your good friends were replaced by old grumps and there was no way to get good friends in the area anymore? Would you move or just deal with it?

That's actually already happened to me in my life. What did I do? Become a recluse. That being said, I don't really have friends anymore (maybe acquaintances) because these grumps no longer talk to me. They're too busy complaining.

What would you do if you suddenly had very severe lysdexia (dyslexia)?

(I would manage somehow.)

Speaking of which, I know a lot of dyslexics who make dyslexic jokes, and I know a lot of other people who get offended by dyslexic jokes.

What if you had a condition and you got some humor out of it, but other people who did not have that condition got offended whenever you told a joke about your condition?

Maybe something to do with calligraphy? Can't think beyond that.

What would you do if you found out that the whole town you lived in was in a secret cult but there was no way for you to prove that the town was a part of the cult, and you could not afford to move out while meeting your needs at the same time.
