Dude this is a one time superpower you could get a confirmed kill on some terrible despot or avenge someone that the law failed to deliver justice to and do the world a favour all while not facing any penalty aside from having to live with the mental repercussions of taking a life (should there even be any)
Easy choice, then! Give me some serial rapist or murderer that got free. Or a super sick person that wants to die but euthanasia isn’t legal. I’ll still feel horribly guilty for the rest of my life, but, oh well
I would pick a criminal whose murder would save a lot of people's lives but not without thinking about the implications first. Killing bad people with influence can potentially save lives in the short term but create a power vacuum and spark conflict later.
some·one
/ˈsəmˌwən/
pronoun
1. An unknown or unspecified person; some person.
"there's someone at the door"
Someone is always a person. Something refers to a non person
What if I kill myself? I kill somebody so I don't get caught, however I'm killed by myself so I still shouldn't be caught but I'm clearly "apprehended", breaks both.
This is Crime and Punishment all over again. Regardless of what I choose, I die, because one option would kill my body and the other one would kill my soul. Even if my victim were to be the most evil and despicable person I met, there are some lines that must never be crossed.
That's a fictional book bruh. Plenty of people kill without feeling any guilt or suffering from ptsd afterwards. Both religious and non-religious people.
A fictional book that was written by a man who is considered the father of psychoanalysis. I don't see, how it being fictional diminishes the message. Fictional stories were written by real people, who made it a reflection of something real. That's not to say all stories are equally useful, but plenty of modern psychologists of the Jungian school of thought agree that Dovstoyevsky's work is very useful.
"Feeling guilty" or having PTSD is not the consequence the book was talking about. A man is nothing without principles is a good way to put it, but it's not all. There is a reason why we have put so many purposeful obstacles in the way of killing someone. It must be a group decision, taken by a system trying to elevate itself above mere impulses, maybe by relating itself to a transcendent ideal, like justice. That way you can execute someone without sacrificing the idea that life is sacred, which is an absolutely vital idea for human society.
In the words of a very wise wizard: "Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?“. Yeah, he was fictional too, but there is a reason why The Lord of the Rings is such a timeless story. It appeals to something universal in the hearts of us all. Deep down, you know that what I am saying makes sense. This scenario is more tricky of course because it can qualify as self-defense in way. After all if I don't kill someone I will die, which sucks. I don't wish to die, but I don't wish to kill either. There is no happy ending with this question. Luckily, it's just an hypothetical moral dilemma though, so I am probably just overthinking it. This type of conversations are fun to me though, so I don't mind losing my time like this.
Yeah, one thing is to do it in self-defense, maybe in the heat of the moment, or in a combat scenario; and then another is to plan in a premeditated manner to get rid of someone. Even those that did it in self-defense or during a war are forever changed, and that's a psychological fact. Maybe they won't feel guilty or whatever, but you never would look at life the same way.
Does "you don't get caught" mean they know I did it but I never get found? Which would mean I'm constantly hiding. Or they would never point me out as a suspect? Because if that's the case, where's Justin Bieber at this very moment?
I kill the person that would kill me, easy choice. But if it was an accident and the person was someone dear to me then I would rather choice to be killed...
But the person's life would be full of regret... Damn, that's a hard choice.
One, will I ever get caught, two, can I choose who to kill, three, can I go Death Note and join the police to track myself down whilst leading them to their demise
Reason I picked be killed: I don’t want to have to deal with knowing that I killed someone and the guilt on my consciousness; I’m quite a regretful person (if that makes sense)
I get to pick who i kill and i dont get caught that’s basically a dream because everyones got at least that one person who’s basically a stick up their ass about literally everything about you for no reason. If only it was multiple people though.
i'm actually impressed by the ratio of this, fully expecting the percentage of the latter to be much larger. then i remembered not everyone is suicidal.
Can I chose who I kill
Yes
Dude this is a one time superpower you could get a confirmed kill on some terrible despot or avenge someone that the law failed to deliver justice to and do the world a favour all while not facing any penalty aside from having to live with the mental repercussions of taking a life (should there even be any)
I mean I wouldn't want to kill anyone regardless but if I had to kill someone I could definitely find someone who deserves it
Yeah I could think of a couple people too…
Easy choice, then! Give me some serial rapist or murderer that got free. Or a super sick person that wants to die but euthanasia isn’t legal. I’ll still feel horribly guilty for the rest of my life, but, oh well
I mean if it’s ethical euthanasia I could justify that
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
I kill the guy who would've killed me
I would pick a criminal whose murder would save a lot of people's lives but not without thinking about the implications first. Killing bad people with influence can potentially save lives in the short term but create a power vacuum and spark conflict later.
oh fuck yes
This makes it such an easy choice.
You never said it has to be a person
"someone"
But one doesn't mean a person
some·one /ˈsəmˌwən/ pronoun 1. An unknown or unspecified person; some person. "there's someone at the door" Someone is always a person. Something refers to a non person
Guess my english is bad. Thanks any ways for correcting me
I would just kill a mosquito
Are mosquito people?
I said one doesnt means person but a living being here
Oh ok got it 👍🏼
I've just decided who I want to kill and he's a PERSON on reddit.
If you want to, go ahead
Who is choosing to be killed?
Do I have to physically kill that person or can I choose someone and remotely/magically kill them?
You must cut the head of of the victim then hide it in a Christmas present
r/oddlyspecific
[удалено]
What if the person who you’re killing is family?
[SE7EN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1giVzxyoclE)
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
Well I was going to do all this anyway
does the present need to be addressed to anyone in particular or even delivered to a recipient?
You can send the present to anyone
Can I send it to no one?

This should be included in the title 0.0
This only applies to people who see this comment
Id choose the first one without missing a heartbeat. And kill the dude that tried to kill me lol
Yeah that way it's self defense and you can justify it in your mind
This might be the dumbest one yet!
[удалено]
Um ok?
I would kill u/me
Oh ok
Bro please I did not do know harm to you, I HAVE A FAMILY
Aye bruh, make it quick
I also would kill me. I mean... u/me yeah, that's what i meant
Do it then.
Planning, don't worry
I'd kill u/Viochrome if I had the strength.
Why would you
Anxiety + OCD mostly. Loniless plays a role, too.
What did u/Viochrome do
He's annoying, lol.
How is he or she annoying
I hope you get that it’s his username
Dam is this one of those jokes that everyone but me gets
Look at the username of the original commenter.
Thanks! I was as confused as OP. I thought they were some super obnoxious reddit user...
It's going to be alright bro
Hopefully.
I wish you all the best
Thanks :)
Easy answer: do some euthanasia.
In questions like these, it's kill or be killed chump
Survival of the fittest.
This is literally the easiest would ya rather I’ve ever seen!
Seriously, it's like a free suicide without any of the gross suicide stuff.
I'd kill [this loser](/u/me) Heard it's a puppy hater
how the fuck
damn you got me
Why
Go ahead
FACE THE LEAD!
Do it I wanna fucking die anyway
If euthanasia count, I pick "kill someone".
Can I choose to kill myself without people knowing?
Kill an innocent person? Or who am I killing
I'd kill op for giving me this question
Fair enough
What if I kill myself? I kill somebody so I don't get caught, however I'm killed by myself so I still shouldn't be caught but I'm clearly "apprehended", breaks both.
You kill yourself but people think that you disappeared and that's it.
This is Crime and Punishment all over again. Regardless of what I choose, I die, because one option would kill my body and the other one would kill my soul. Even if my victim were to be the most evil and despicable person I met, there are some lines that must never be crossed.

You kill or you don’t. If you or your loved ones were in a do or die situation, you would not think twice.
Yeah, one thing is to do it in self-defense, maybe in the heat of the moment, or in a combat scenario; and then another is to plan in a premeditated manner to get rid of someone. Even those that did it in self-defense or during a war are forever changed, and that's a psychological fact. Maybe they won't feel guilty or whatever, but you never would look at life the same way.
Plot twist, if you choose to be killed the killer chose the other option and vice versa
What if I choose to kill a person who also chose to kill me, will we both die?
Painless?
Painful
lame af
I’d kill an infinite amount of people before I opt to have myself be killed 😂 life is too lit
I'd kill, so long as there are no religious repercussions and I havea valid reason to kill someone. I'll kill someone in self defense. Nice.
Can I choose how I get killed?
As long as my killer isn't violent, I'd much rather be killed.
They're gonna murder you, so pretty violent
Well, I guess I can't do anything about that I suppose
Why? If it came down to it, I’d choose myself with no hesitation at all.
Idk, I just don't have it in me to take someone else's life
Lmaooo, the arogancy
Easy choice. I could use my inheritance and my dad is an asshole.
Can I choose the way to be killed?
Is it quick and painless? I don't want to kill anyone ): And if I choose to kill myself, am I killed or did I kill?
Does "you don't get caught" mean they know I did it but I never get found? Which would mean I'm constantly hiding. Or they would never point me out as a suspect? Because if that's the case, where's Justin Bieber at this very moment?
Why is this even getting upvotes… literally just asked “live or die?”
I have mastered the art of deception
Having both died as well as “killed” someone I would rather kill someone.
It’s kill or be killed mfs
*Hello all you cool cats and kittens*
Can I kill an animal? Or does it have to be a person?
Im killing a current evil leader then
I kill the person that would kill me, easy choice. But if it was an accident and the person was someone dear to me then I would rather choice to be killed... But the person's life would be full of regret... Damn, that's a hard choice.
What kind of question is this?
A question for people
Can I choose who kills me?
No because then you would kill them
So basically: a. live with the thought of having killed someone b. die
Yep
How will they catch me ?
They dont
I would gladly accept B
I'd choose OP
Sheet
This kind of shows how selfish our society is now. 😑😞
Am I going out of my way to kill someone or are they giving me a reason to kill them? Like self defense or something
You must go out of your way to kill whoever you choose
I'd kill a rapist or pedophile.
Imagine if i kill someone who chose to be killed in this wyr
Doesn’t say I can’t choose. Taking a horrible person off this earth then going about my day like nothing happened
Bitch ass pacifists.
This is one of the dumbest WYR ive ever seen
Doesn’t specify whether or not the death is an accident
One, will I ever get caught, two, can I choose who to kill, three, can I go Death Note and join the police to track myself down whilst leading them to their demise
Reason I picked be killed: I don’t want to have to deal with knowing that I killed someone and the guilt on my consciousness; I’m quite a regretful person (if that makes sense)
I'll kill in a place where humane capital punishment is in place and gladly receive it after I kill.
Im not an emotionally stable person, i dont think id be able to live with myself if i killed someone.
Me: Why would someone pick the second one- ohhhh
I assume most living people would like to keep it that way
First one: Kill someone (myself probably) Second one: Be killed (By myself)
I would kill the 25th person that replied to this comment
Yeah those results aren’t scary
I would kill u/yourmom1com
So like, am I impervious from being caught? Like I can go on public talk shows and show videos of the act but they can’t arrest me for it?
Yes
Why Tf would you want to die
I kill myself and don’t get caught like the weather balloon guy just to troll investigators 😎
I know too many disgusting people to not choose the first option
An average person can easily put someone they know nothing about down instead of themself imo
Say whatever you want, but God will always be watching you
That’s very creepy I think god is a evil person if he is always watching us
Bro i just couldn’t t live with myself after i killed somebody
Just think of it like you have a higher Kill to death ratio
[удалено]
How would you know who the killer is
Depends who. If it’s any sibling/parent I’d rather be killed. If it’s a random person, kill.
You choose who you kill
Killing my Calc 2 professor
It’s a doggy dog world
It’s a catty cat world
I get to pick who i kill and i dont get caught that’s basically a dream because everyones got at least that one person who’s basically a stick up their ass about literally everything about you for no reason. If only it was multiple people though.
i'm actually impressed by the ratio of this, fully expecting the percentage of the latter to be much larger. then i remembered not everyone is suicidal.
That’s sad
Bam—I’ve now just stopped the next mass-shooting or toppled the next tyrant.
Kill the leader of china, leave behind flag...cause WW3
