    1. feels like a trap, once you burn through all your fat you’ll be impossibly unhealthy

    2. is a trap too, if you stop gaining weight from eating then you might trap yourself in the same situation as above

    3. unless you hunt for food, bad idea

    4. decent option, but it doesn’t mention if there’s any pain during the growth period

    5. good option, as long as you have control over your strength

    6. very bad option, sounds nice but you will go insane

    7. doesn’t say if online or IRL, having many followers IRL is not desirable

    8. dangerous, erasing any meaningful memories is dangerous

    9. the only good option with no consequences i can think of. i’ll take 3 of those

      Mostly agree, easily can reduce it down to 4,5 modulo fine print. I don’t agree with the last if a lot of money means billions and if you want to keep it all for yourself. Wanting to own billions is a mental disease imo.

        oh nah lol, i’d just keep a decent amount of money to live comfortably + bit extra for the occasional adhd “new hobby” shopping spree. if “a lot” means billions, the majority of it i’d most likely donate to charities or give away to friends and random people, i have no desire to hoard wealth

      Except how do people generally get money from taking pills? Hint: it’s not often because they are happy with the results.

        i don’t think a pill can give you more followers either (not without first setting up a cult and/or a drug enterprise)

    1 & 2 are the same pill, unless 2 also stops you from putting on muscle mass which would be a real negative. In the same vein, “no more fat” taken too literally will just kill you, as humans need at least 4-5% body fat to live.

    If you read them kindly “dont gain weight from eating” means you will burn fat just day to day, eventually hitting equilibrium. “No more fat” means you won’t gain fat, so you can just eat excessively and youre at equilibrium. Neither affects you at a calorie deficit, and both do the same thing at a calorie surplus.

      Super strong likely means mass and/or density, which means more calories needed to maintain. Unless it’s some magic. Either way, that and money means you can eat until you’re happy. The only two pills I’d want out of those given.

        1 is much better all around, assuming that they mean you “instantly drop to an ideal body fat percentage” and not “all of the fat on your body disappears forever”

      The way 2. is written is basically a death sentence.

      What they presumably meant is “never exceed your ideal weight no matter how much you eat”

      Yeah, “Don’t gain weight from eating” would mean that any dieting you do would be permanent. You lose 1 oz, that 1 oz is gone forever.

      Super easy to lose weight that way, but also, potentially risky in that you could unintentionally diet away all of your body fat and not be able to replace it.

      Even if you’re a consistent overeater, you’re going to have days where you can’t hit your target and lose more weight.

      Sounds more like a curse than a blessing.

      You’d be lucky to make it to your mid 60s unless you started out very overweight and didn’t try to crash diet your way to “normalcy”.

      Agreed, those are my only two choices as well.

      • I feel like the first two are basically the same thing and are also asking for a monkey’s paw sort of scenario to happen.

      • I don’t want to stop shopping because there are things I want that can’t be obtained for free.

      • I’m not the tallest, but I don’t feel any particular need to be any taller.

      • I don’t want my emotions regulated to always be happy, because then you basically never truly are.

      • Followers are overrated and creepy.

      • And I’d never want to forget an ex because I’d end up losing a lot of good memories in the process.

    That is by far the shittiest version of the “which pill/superpower/xyz ?” that I’ve seen.

    “No more fat”, “Have many followers” and fucking “Increase 5cm height” nearly gave me an aneurysm. This meme is a good pick for the community.

    1 already covers 2, and I have enough of 6. Happy all the time would probably turn me into an even lazier person. A little concern now and then keeps me engaged with the world.

    1, 5, 9. Health, strength, $$$$$.
