  • 3 and 5.

    5 because it would even work on toasters that can do more than just toast, i.e. a toaster plus computer.

    3 because the other pills don’t sound useful. And it doesn’t say how often I can use this teleportation. So I assume through repeated teleportation I’d be super fast. If it doesn’t also teleport my cloths, I’d probably not use it too often though, apart from changing cloths (the 17.78 cm should be barely enough). It would also be interesting to fly using repeated teleportation. Though if my speed is not also reset through teleportation, I’d still fall, and landing would be dangerous. And if cloths and similar are not teleported with me, I also couldn’t take a parachute or wings with me.

    For Mario, I totally agree. But Bowser is a king himself, so why would he fall in love with a princess just because she’s a princess? I think his plans to marry her are rather for geopolitical reasons: A marriage would lead to a merge of both kingdoms, and the first born Bowser Jr. (who doesn’t have Peach in his blood line) would eventually inherit this bigger kingdom.







  • Man made (aka human made) is obviously anything made by a human. So let’s rather talk about natural vs. artificial.

    Here, the concept probably boils to the idea that humans have a consciousness, and a free will, which are not part of nature, but something special. It’s kinda religious.

    But artificial could also have a more generic meaning of something extraneous doing things in an ecosystem, and changing it in completely new ways.

    It’s like in a game where the players are controlled by users. The users are not part of the game and can create things that would never come to existence by means of the game’s nature, i.e. via procedural world generation or NPC AIs. So e.g. villages in minecraft are natural, but user-built structures are artificial.

    Note though that goods produced by nature are not strictly better than artificially created goods. To name two examples: (1) Carrots harvested from a generated village in minecraft are no different from player-planted carrots. (2) Medicine is not better just because it’s extracted from plants.
