#Not a hypothetical

[technofinch]

There's a small jar of honey on my desk. It's been there at least 2 days. The desk space is semi-communal but primarily recognized as mine. It's unlabeled. No one has said anything to me about it.

To every article that’s like “The economy’s so great! Wages are going up faster than ever, people are still spending like they think they’ll have money tomorrow, why is everyone so upset and saying the economy’s bad?”

Listen.

L I S T E N.

If the cost of living is going up faster than our wages, that means we our being priced out of our literal cost of living.

It don’t matter that I got a bigger salary now if I’m holding onto LESS than I was a year ago despite the increase because my rent skyrocketed and I can’t afford eggs.

And if you have no hope that you’ll be able to hold onto your wages in the future, if there’s no point in saving because you can never save enough to survive in a crisis, then of course you’re gonna spend money on the things that bring you joy right now rather than hold out for a hypothetical future where you can afford to live a comfortable and happy life.

A question for the abuse survivors, did you lose the ability to recognize when you're happy? I feel like someone took an eraser to my amygdala.

Did you get yours back?

if someone’s threatening you with a knife and you push them away from you and they come back and assault you and threaten you more, you’re not “even” because you pushed them, right? right??

Obligatory Pinned

Contrary to the blog URL, this isn’t JUST about belly, it’s about any of the 3 B’s being big. Booba, Belly, or Butt. Mostly belly tho. How this blog works: Whenever a hypothetical pops into my head or somebody submits one I like, I will post a hypothetical. Thats it! You are free to reblog with or even draw your answer/reaction! Suggestion for responding: Your real genuine reaction is always much more interesting than a half response, just saying “I’d die” or “I’d smush you under my belly” or something isn’t very interesting. I wanna hear how different people would react to their dreams (or nightmares) coming true IRL! A few notes: 1. Everything is sized with the AVERAGE body in mind. You can either leave it at that scale or change it to match how big you are IRL. A beach ball belly would scale up or down if you are bigger or smaller than the average 2. Everything is made under the assumption that whatever it is wouldn’t kill you unless otherwise stated by the hypothetical. Unless explicitly stated or implied you wouldn’t pop unless you were actively trying. 3. Things are left to the imagination! If something clarifies the size you grow to but not what you fill with then you get to choose! If you really want, edit the hypothetical when answering! 4. The assumption is that everyone is an androgynous agender beanpole. Thicc thighs, a preggo belly, or a nice pair of booba aren’t gender locked. These are good questions to ask about any hypothetical posted here: 1. How would I react? 2. How would my family/friends react? 3. How would I hide it from said family/friends? 4. How am I feeling if this were to happen? Happy? Sad? Thrilled? 5. WOULD I hide it? Why or why not? 6. If I could change the situation, why and how? (ex: permanent belly becoming on demand belly) 7. How could I use this? 8. How does this affect my day to day life? How much impact would it have on me? 9. What if this happened to somebody I knew instead? How would they react? How would I? 10. Maybe this was intentional? Why did I do it? How did I do it? 11. Maybe this was accidental? What happened to cause it? 12. Maybe this was caused by something/someone other than me intentionally? What caused it? Was it malevolent or benevolent? How did it do it? 13. If it happened overnight or instantly, how would my reaction would differ from if it happened over time or vice versa? 14. How do I think this would feel? Painful? Nice? Strange? Maybe relief because it solved some body dysphoria? Or maybe grief because it’s causing dysphoria. 15. If this could actually happen to me IRL, would I want it to? 16. What other things might happen to me because of this? What is my reaction to that? 17. What are some alternative situations and how would I react to those? (Ex: would I react differently to being suddenly full of water rather than suddenly full of air) 18. What might be some lasting consequences I face for this? Additional: Reblogging spreads awareness of this blog, more people answering means more responses to read. Owner of this blog is Ace/Aro, I won’t give you flak for making a more... Charged response... But at the very least add a content warning man.

YOU! Are granted the power to suddenly own ONE video game franchise, and to hire the best people who have ever worked on it (and/or anyone else you want in on it).

What video game franchise are you rescuing--er, acquiring?

We should have some

how do we feel about a cis girl using he/him pronouns

[prokopetz]

I think we're starting to dilute the meaning of "terminally online". Like, no, it's not terminally online to have eccentric opinions about a popular TV show – people like that existed before "online" was a thing. Unless we're talking at least an "it's homophobic for gay furries to have rat fursonas because they're depicting gay people as vermin", the onlineness falls well short of terminal.

hypothetical 1

you have £1,000,000 to distribute evenly between a number of people. you decide how many.

all the recipients will be total strangers

you will never meet them after they receive the money, nor find out what they do with it.

they are chosen uniformly at random from the entire population of the world

the money will be in a form they can easily access, converted to their local currency.

for simplicity, the number of people must be a power of 10.

if you don't distribute this money in this way, it will be destroyed.
