The Hypothetical Scenario Thread

[StarPhoenix]

Porpoise of this thread: for spinning of imaginary scenarios, both serious and comic, possible and impossible, and your responses to them.

Seeing as I am in that sort of mood [again], I'll begin with this:

If your salary were to be paid for doing what you enjoy doing, what would you spend the majority of your time doing.

/@jamin: euphemism is goooood/

earning more salary?
what if all drugs were legal?

[DarkRanger]

what if all drugs were legal?

I actually think it'll sort out 90% of the drug related problems we have as a society.

Darwin Nominees will overdose and rid the rest of us of the burden, plus gang warfare will stop (or atleast drastically drop) because there's drugs freely available.

Might sound insensitive, but not my intention.

What if dinosaurs still existed?

Silly me! I didn't post what i would choose.

If i could do what i enjoy for a living (improbable scenarios are permitted here), i would spend seven days a week reading and visiting libraries, playing games, watching TED Talk videos, and solving crossword puzzles.

What would you do? Would you remine in your current job, or do what you enjoy most?
@DarkRanger: What definition of "drug" are you using? Would this include substances such as caffeine, nicotine, and ethanol? (Sorry Rusty

You mean earn a higher salary for doing nothing? Brilliant! But Zuma beat me to it.

Iwould probably just follow you around all day watching your IRL interactions with people.
I recon a good 2 or 3 years of entertainment there.
I'd laugh, I'd cry, I'd need reconstructive surgery from all the face-palming

I would love to tour the world like the de Boer's in The Travel Magazine TV show. I'd also go to all kinds of exotic places like treks into rain forests or hidden valleys, caves, etc.

I do have that kind of personality hidden somewhere. High school broke me.

drug as in any behaviour altering substance that is generally considered illegal by the vast majority of governments.

here's one -> what if we are the only sentient species in the Universe ( for clarification: no parallel universe scenarios allowed )???

I'm not sure if this should be a separate thread, but here goes.
What if you could kill 1 person legally and replace that 'vacuum' with a fictional character of your choice?

I still have to give my choice some thought.

[rustypup]

I still have to give my choice some thought.

i have a list, (ok, compendium), of possible subjects due for replacement... the only difficulty would be in picking the worst offender...

as to the replacement... Dirk Gently or Mustrum Ridcully

Now THAT, is a conundrum!
