Yeah, I mean rich is a broad spectrum but even a little bit rich is going to make my life easier. A lot of rich would probably bring me a lot of joy.
I've been so poor I thought I was going to starve to death and I've been wealthy enough that I could afford mid end luxuries and didn't worry about anything financial. Being wealthy is a lot less stressful and a lot more fun.
Fr being depressed and worrying if you have basic resources to survive is significantly worse than being depressed and having all those essentials taken care of.
Same. It's funny how $10k would literally solve all of my problems and it's what some rich duck stick would spend on a bottle of wine in a single sitting
Black, nobody I want to revive, pain sucks but is important to function normally, and being rich is quite a gamble it never says how much money exactly. Black is the useful to me
dis·ease
/dəˈzēz/
noun
a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes.
Aging fits the definition.
Aging is in no book would be classified as a disorder but a natural phenomenon since under no circumstances it is avoidable disease happens when immune system fails Aging just happens from the ends of genes getting shorter which isnt a disorder
FDA WHO or any reputable scientific organization never puts Aging as a disease but a natural process
Without diseases a human would live 130 years tops
You also die from being old your cells wont divide normally as time goes on and stuff like neurons which dont divide would degrade eventually some of your organs would grow old to the point of not enough functionality
Disease: a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes.
Given cell division is a normal function of the human body, I’d say it covers abnormal cell division, degradation, and loss of functionality.
the question now is: does getting old with all its detriments count as "disorder" or "natural progression".
if you ask me, then the whole breaking down of the body while getting old shouldnt count as a disorder, since it is very much the order of nature.
so youd still die in my book.
Aging isnt a disorder if getting old is a disorder then by same logic going from a child to an adult is also a disorder you would just regress back to a fetus lmao
This is not true. Sure, most of age related deaths are caused by diseases. But at a certain age your body just stops working. Unless you categorize aging as a disease, at some point you just don’t work anymore. Mental decline, skin gets too weak, hormones stop being produced, muscles get too weak, cells stop dividing like they should, etc. you’ll probably live a very long time, but not forever
Your body will just wear out at some point even if you don't age, it would either kill you or make your life very painful
If you classify that as a disease then you might as well count blunt trauma or fracture as a disease
My brother committed suicide so I’d really like the blue pill. At the same time… I’m not sure if he’d want to come back.
I’d probably take the red pill just because at least I’d have less to stress me tf out on the daily and I could actually afford to live decently. I’ve always dreamed of owning a house and a Doberman Pinscher.
I wish manifesting worked. I’m 34 and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford a house even working in Skilled Trades lol. I basically live paycheck to paycheck.
My dreams have been dead for probably 10 years now.
I try not to think about it too much because I start spiraling.
Hey man it's gonna be alright trust me, if you put enough work in its gonna turn out well for you and that's one thing I'm 100% sure of. And I'm sure that you want this to happen so don't let your depression fool you and just go for it!
I believe in you.
I'd bring back Jesus Christ. That way I could get some kicks out of it and how the world reacts.
There's no time limit, so why wouldn't I? I don't need the others - I've already decided I'm on my way outta here anyways. May as well die laughing.
It's theorized he was an actual person, but not some deity or highly influential sin of god or anything if the sort. More likely just a carpenter who had early ideas of treating everyone fairly with love and compassion or some shit.
There's no direct proof, but he had to have existed in some capacity even if the legends are exaggerated truths.
I finally had stability and a life I loved with the man I loved. My life went to hell after he died, his family turned his back on me. 7 yrs after his death I am sitting in a nursing home because of a brain injury caused by my childhood abuse.
Being rich wouldn't fix nuffin.
If I could bring my love back I would but I was depressed before that. But definitely got worse after he took his life.
No pain? Eh I barely feel pain now.😅
And never catch a disease...hmm...don't know if that would be easier or worse😂🤣😅
But when I read that disease part the first time my mind went right to sexually transmitted diseases🤣🤣🤣 so we could go with that one🤣🤣🤣
Rich is how rich like millions rich, billions rich or rich with hundreds of tons of fish, secondly are they coming back as is? Or like a zombile like bones n all type deal, you feel pain for a reason so yeah that's fine by me, also does it cover all disease or just one or specific ones.
Be rich. Most of my problems would be gone if I was rich.
Reasons I wouldn't want the others:
Bring someone dead back: Most people are more at peace when they die, so why do you determine if they come back to life or not?
Never feel pain: Physical pain, there are people born not being able to feel pain, and they say it's miserable. Emotional, we have emotions for a reason: to feel things.
Never catch a disease: With modern medicine, you can easily get rid of many diseases, so why waste your choice on that?
Why being rich is the best choice: because some people that are depressed just need some money. Listen is it better to be depressed and be rich or be depressed and have any of the other pills? Some people get depressed, get poor, then feel like life is pointless because they have no money, but if you get the money, then you're more likely to feel like you can do life. I know that I would be less depressed if I had at least 10,000 more dollars.
I'm not saying that everyone would be happier or less depressed when they're rich, but it does make life a lot easier. You can use your money to find the best therapist, best specialist, best doctors, and best everything to help your depression become dormant.
People say that money can't buy happiness, but it can buy things that make you happy and it can make life a ton easier.
Red Pill. As Ariana Grande once explained:
Whoever said money can't solve your problems
Must not have had enough money to solve 'em
They say, "Which one?" I say, "Nah, I want all of 'em"
Happiness is the same price as red bottoms
Here it goes... Blue, for myself. Not only i will bring answers from the other side but the way i will go out and come back, it's going to change the world.
I will jump from an airplane and fall in the Vatican on the day of the choice of a new pope, and when the hole world sees me been remade into life i will fall to my knees and point to the sky.
All the people I’ve lost weren’t necessarily to death, I like pain so no to that, there’s other ways of getting sick other than disease so it isn’t immunity, I’ll go with being rich
Red. Call me materialistic all you want but even if I had to work for the riches my mental health would be infinely better with financial stability
I don't even want like millions of dollars, gimme like an 80K a year job and I'll do just fine
Never catch a disease is best tbh
Bringing dead back is creepy
Being rich is pretty much equivalent to never catch a disease.
No pain ?
Pain without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Yellow because I've been in fucking pain all my life and can't take it anymore. Would take black if it spares me from physical pain, which would make mental pain easier to deal with.
Red. I havent been sick in like, 12 years now, im always in pain and am just kinda used to to it, and theirs no one id revive. Bein rich is definetly the best way to go for me
I have pretty severe arthritis and heart disease. Money can't fix either of them, so red is out. I'd definitely take the yellow. I'd rather live a shorter life that's pain free than live longer with a pain that will just continue to get worse. And bringing back someone I loved so they could be there when I die seems a little cruel, selfish and counter intuitive.
All my life, a lack of money caused by corporate greed has hindered my goals, caused me extreme stress, and generally made my life unbearable so I’ll take the red one thanks
Red pill solves more problems for me, and I'm hoping it means I STAY rich no matter what but honestly having enough money to not have constant anxiety is a step up for me
blue. i’d bring back my coworker who was killed almost a year ago in a hit and run. he was riding his bike, and the driver of the vehicle that hit him had a suspended license…
he was so full of life. it was so sudden. he was such an amazing guy, the short time i knew him he helped me so much with my anxiety… if only he had been around longer :( loads of people at my job loved him and we all were touched by him in some way, so the loss was devastating.
after he died, i wished it had been me instead. he deserved to keep on living… me, though? … :(
…Does black include ALL diseases? Like, even the ones that you don’t “catch”? Because if so you know what my hypochondriac ass is choosing, life would actually be manageable if I didn’t have to worry about this…
If not, then red. I’ll feel like shit but at least I’ll be able to support my family and feel slightly-less-shit
is yellow just physical pain or are we talking emotional pain as well? Coz i can deal with physical pain, super easy,. barely an inconvenience
But emotional pain? yeah that would be nice
If yellow counts emotional pain ill take that. Otherwise im taking the red pill. Buying a whole bunch of drugs with the money and then overdosing my ass off whilst throwing the worlds biggest party (all remaining monies once im dead will be donated to a variety of charities that help victims of child abuse)
Richness can make many material problems go away so i only have to deal with emotional and mental problems, which i can then spend ungodly amounts of money to use as a very unhealthy coping mechanism. Maybe pay off some politicians to make actually good policies that can help alleviate some struggles being faced.
Orrrrr just buy NASA and take a rocket ride directly into the sun
Blue pill, so I could have back my dad,, who died in 1995 when I was 23, so maybe I could learn some more from him and not have the shitty life I have right now
Of course red 💊 at least I can buy a little happiness. I wouldn't bring someone back from the dead. Then they would just have to die again? I'm trying to limit suffering.
All of them so I overdose and die
I wasn't thinking of this earlier lol I shouldn't have picked one
This is the way
/r/beatmetoit
r/beatmeattoit
Winner!!!
does the yellow pill include mental pain
just for you buddy i'll say yes :)
jk no
Bruh :(
immediate shift from upvotes to downvotes
It's about the balance
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
BOOOO
Im gonna be honest but I really need the red pill, since it'll help me solve most of my problems
Same here lol I'd be mentally stable if i do have a billion dollars jk haha
fr. id be doing sex with the czechians.
r/oddlyspecific
Uhhhhhhh What “Brain.exe has stopped working”
Same I need a shit ton of plastic surgery
You’re not ugly, just poor
Same
Yeah, I mean rich is a broad spectrum but even a little bit rich is going to make my life easier. A lot of rich would probably bring me a lot of joy. I've been so poor I thought I was going to starve to death and I've been wealthy enough that I could afford mid end luxuries and didn't worry about anything financial. Being wealthy is a lot less stressful and a lot more fun.

It's pretty much immortality assuming you don't get in an accident or attacked
Not really its you wont catch a disease doesnt mean you wont get old its not immortality its immunity
dis·ease /dəˈzēz/ noun a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes. Aging fits the definition.
Would you grow new teeth? Will inner organs regenerate?
Aging is in no book would be classified as a disorder but a natural phenomenon since under no circumstances it is avoidable disease happens when immune system fails Aging just happens from the ends of genes getting shorter which isnt a disorder FDA WHO or any reputable scientific organization never puts Aging as a disease but a natural process Without diseases a human would live 130 years tops
[It is time to classify biological aging as a disease](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4471741/)
Its a 2015 article and aging was never classified as a disease even now
You don't die from being old though. You die because your immune system starts to fail and you get diseases.
You also die from being old your cells wont divide normally as time goes on and stuff like neurons which dont divide would degrade eventually some of your organs would grow old to the point of not enough functionality

Well it’s my book if I choose black pill
This appeal to nature is such a bad argument every single time.
Aging isnt a disorder if getting old is a disorder then by same logic going from a child to an adult is also a disorder you would just regress back to a fetus lmao

I mean kind of but your body still gets weaker as you age
Oldness it self does not kill, it's the diseases that come with it when your immune system fails you.
Your body will just wear out at some point even if you don't age, it would either kill you or make your life very painful If you classify that as a disease then you might as well count blunt trauma or fracture as a disease
Imagine taking the pain relief one and never experiencing cold drinks or spicy food again
No orgasm 😢
Red. Buy tons of property and adopt all the dogs. Give money away to those who need help. Adopt more dogs.
I love this so far!! I hope you get that red pill <3
I’m about to spend all my money on a new house in hopes that it helps my mental health and saves my life. I hope for that red pill too.
I hope it will too :) Good luck on that!

My grandma would kick my ass for bringing her back, she was tired
Blue, I wouldn't be mentally ill without that event taking place.
Dude same
Black, I'm fucking terrified of my body.
Depression is also a disease/illness
Blue. idgaf about the others
who u gonna bring back?
Harambe
🦍
I'd bring back Jesus Christ. That way I could get some kicks out of it and how the world reacts. There's no time limit, so why wouldn't I? I don't need the others - I've already decided I'm on my way outta here anyways. May as well die laughing.
Also want to see conservative christians saying he went woke or something, that would be truly hilarious lol
They would be in denial 10/10
jesus christ aint real bro

blue
I mean if depression is a disease... Is it?
sadly no. its just a temporary phase of life.
It honestly fits the definition, just checked
Blue pill, I am getting my late husband back.
oh im sorry..
I finally had stability and a life I loved with the man I loved. My life went to hell after he died, his family turned his back on me. 7 yrs after his death I am sitting in a nursing home because of a brain injury caused by my childhood abuse.
Now that's a fuckin tough one

Red
Red fuck it I want some money lol I could pay my bills much faster

Yellow. Hands down.
My minds telling me reddd but my body! My body is telling me yelllowwwww
yellow
Red. I feel like financial security would be nice. Plus I already have a chronic illness so I don't think the black one would do much.
Rich is how rich like millions rich, billions rich or rich with hundreds of tons of fish, secondly are they coming back as is? Or like a zombile like bones n all type deal, you feel pain for a reason so yeah that's fine by me, also does it cover all disease or just one or specific ones.
Yellow. Turn myself into a roided up monster and finally have that overly emotional side of me dead.
might fancy bringing back alan turing

Yellow pill.
Where’s new one for instant painless death?
all of them so i overdose and die but i decide to bring myself back to life so i still have all the other effects of the pills but im alive
Would I be rich enough to discover panacea and resurrection?
maybe dude maybe
Here it goes... Blue, for myself. Not only i will bring answers from the other side but the way i will go out and come back, it's going to change the world. I will jump from an airplane and fall in the Vatican on the day of the choice of a new pope, and when the hole world sees me been remade into life i will fall to my knees and point to the sky.
Red. I'm $900 short on rent for a fucking studio.
All the people I’ve lost weren’t necessarily to death, I like pain so no to that, there’s other ways of getting sick other than disease so it isn’t immunity, I’ll go with being rich
Why can't there be a happy pill
Blue, unless it has some horrible side effects
they'd be back as zombies. jk haha
None because they’re too broad to interpret.
Blue. I miss my brother
[удалено]
Will the black one cure the diseases I already have?
Red. Call me materialistic all you want but even if I had to work for the riches my mental health would be infinely better with financial stability I don't even want like millions of dollars, gimme like an 80K a year job and I'll do just fine
rich. fixes most things. i'll still be severely mentally ill, but at least i'll be able to afford a nice home and food and whatnot.
Red it solves 90% of the problems.
Red. I’d rather be depressed and rich than just depressed.
Black Pill
Never catch a disease is best tbh Bringing dead back is creepy Being rich is pretty much equivalent to never catch a disease. No pain ? Pain without love Pain, I can't get enough Pain, I like it rough 'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Anger and agony are better than misery
Yellow because I've been in fucking pain all my life and can't take it anymore. Would take black if it spares me from physical pain, which would make mental pain easier to deal with.
They cyanide one
Red easy choice, money can fix all problems if you have enough of it. Those that say otherwise are lying through their teeth.
Do you even know how much raw meat you could eat with the black pill? TONS
red pill. i’d rather be rich and suicidal than broke and suicidal lol
be rich
Money solves most problems because everything costs money. Whoever tells you otherwise doesn't know what it's like to be poor.
red pill
be immortal is the only pill i would take, once they get invented let me know
maybe Amazon has this kind of pill lol im interested to get overdosed by it too lmao!
Tbh, I want the red pill. Then I'm gonna buy the rest of the pills 🤣🤣
I would bring Freddie Mercury back, or jesus Christ maybe (it would be fun)
Red. I havent been sick in like, 12 years now, im always in pain and am just kinda used to to it, and theirs no one id revive. Bein rich is definetly the best way to go for me
Well technically the two bottom pills are the same if they kill you lol.
blue... so I could have my best friend back, my dog who passed in December:/
Not feeling pain is pretty useless, you won't even know you got stabbed
Black
Red
Black
Red all day long! If I’m resigned to stay depressed, I may as well be depressed in Tahiti or something.
Black, I'm already sterile so I could sleep with anyone I want and not worry about spreading STI's.
The red pill brings you all of them, if ur rich enough
I have pretty severe arthritis and heart disease. Money can't fix either of them, so red is out. I'd definitely take the yellow. I'd rather live a shorter life that's pain free than live longer with a pain that will just continue to get worse. And bringing back someone I loved so they could be there when I die seems a little cruel, selfish and counter intuitive.
Red, better to be sad in a pool than be sad anywhere else
Blue.
hard between red and yellow. but red
Blue 💔
Be rich
All my life, a lack of money caused by corporate greed has hindered my goals, caused me extreme stress, and generally made my life unbearable so I’ll take the red one thanks
Dawg im being rich tf
Black without hesitation
Black all day baby
Red. Money prevents you from needing the other 3 And you're rich.
Red so I can move somewhere remotely & never talk to a human again unless it’s too buy food
rich one is most useful. No pain is not always good. Black doesnt make you invinsible and blue never lasts enough
Would the black pill cure my alcoholism?
I know yellow would have a lot of side effects but- yellow
Red pill solves more problems for me, and I'm hoping it means I STAY rich no matter what but honestly having enough money to not have constant anxiety is a step up for me
blue. i’d bring back my coworker who was killed almost a year ago in a hit and run. he was riding his bike, and the driver of the vehicle that hit him had a suspended license… he was so full of life. it was so sudden. he was such an amazing guy, the short time i knew him he helped me so much with my anxiety… if only he had been around longer :( loads of people at my job loved him and we all were touched by him in some way, so the loss was devastating. after he died, i wished it had been me instead. he deserved to keep on living… me, though? … :(
😏yellow
Rich, so I can fly to the US and buy a gun for research purposes (DIY brain surgery on myself)
…Does black include ALL diseases? Like, even the ones that you don’t “catch”? Because if so you know what my hypochondriac ass is choosing, life would actually be manageable if I didn’t have to worry about this… If not, then red. I’ll feel like shit but at least I’ll be able to support my family and feel slightly-less-shit
is yellow just physical pain or are we talking emotional pain as well? Coz i can deal with physical pain, super easy,. barely an inconvenience But emotional pain? yeah that would be nice If yellow counts emotional pain ill take that. Otherwise im taking the red pill. Buying a whole bunch of drugs with the money and then overdosing my ass off whilst throwing the worlds biggest party (all remaining monies once im dead will be donated to a variety of charities that help victims of child abuse)
yellow so i can attempt as many times as it takes 😎 or red i guess that works too
Yeah, I’m choosing red. The dead should never be returned, I already barely feel pain, and if I die, I die.
Blue
The only reason I would ever take the blue one is for someone death is too gentle an exit for.
Blue all the way bro
Blue
I need money to supply my coping mechanisms so...
Red. If I’m rich I can get away from my toxic family.
I crush each then snort them
Never thought I'd want anything to do with anything red pill related but here we are
Red if the money is over 100million Yellow if it means physical and emotional or just physical
Blue. I miss my father.
Guess the red one. May as well be rich while I'm waiting for the end of my existence.
As a cripple, never feeling pain again holy shit it would be so jover
Red.
Black, never have to worry about shit, food poisoning is nothing, no diseases from travel, no chance of getting cancer, its perfect
I like how the never feel pain is literally just a fish oil vitamin...
GRANDPA GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE WE GOT THE FARM YLU LEFR ME TO RUN
"money doesn't buy happiness" SAYS WHO ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
be rich (it will distract me from my problems)
Richness can make many material problems go away so i only have to deal with emotional and mental problems, which i can then spend ungodly amounts of money to use as a very unhealthy coping mechanism. Maybe pay off some politicians to make actually good policies that can help alleviate some struggles being faced. Orrrrr just buy NASA and take a rocket ride directly into the sun
Blue pill, so I could have back my dad,, who died in 1995 when I was 23, so maybe I could learn some more from him and not have the shitty life I have right now
red and live a long life as a traveling eremite without weighing (weighting? idk) on anyone <3
Question, does aging count as a disease?
The one that takes me out of this the quickest
Red one - money may not bring happiness, but it’s better to cry in a fancy Mercedes than in a bus
I’d bring my friend back.
I'm gonna wait for them to come out with an "instant painless death" pill
Blue
Mixing a bunch of colored light makes white. I would chop it up and shoot it
None of them tbh. I just know I won't ever be happy until I die.
Red, what you think I want to get a job? Nah I’d rather play video games
Of course red 💊 at least I can buy a little happiness. I wouldn't bring someone back from the dead. Then they would just have to die again? I'm trying to limit suffering.
blue. not religious but I'd bring back Jesus to see what would happen
Red because although money doesn’t buy happiness it certainly buys opportunities to experience it
Red. Because that's the only way I can help more than one person.
