Title: which pill do you choose

stolen from bodybuilding.com misc.

My choice is among the pink, black, and yellow pills--though they're all morally problematic.

The orange and red pills are nearly pointless. Want to get high four times a day? Well, then take four bong hits. Want to access the Internet six times a day? Well, then turn on your fucking laptop (near limitless knowledge without learning or understanding is not very helpful [I am ignoring the porn aspect and the ability to showoff {"In Donoghue v Stevenson, the House of Lords held. . . ."}]).

black pill easily. go into a cave, pop the pill, and predict the stock market.
The yellow pill nearly does that by giving you the ability to obtain insider information from directors, officers, governmental agencies, etc. 

You get to mess with people by ingesting either pill-- the preference  comes down to whether you want to learn about a person's past or her future. It also comes down to whether you could handle Looper-like paradoxes. Personally, I was confused at the end of the movie.

Yep. Black and Green for me. Shape-shifting would be cool too I suppose, but non-assisted flight has got to be amazing.

I don't actually want to know what people are thinking. Sports isn't worth the death timer. I can probably get weed and whatever other high already. Accessing the internet with my mind is superfluous (if I were still a student it would have more use). The love pill is creepy, don't want to be that kind of person.

I picked the Orange and Red.  I'd be ballsy and crazy drewsy with the knowledge of Mandark.

Really though, those are my choices.  I can handle being alone.

And blue is a terrible option. Come on.

It really is because it only lets you master a sport and does not increase your height or athleticism (or is that implied). The earning power of the other pills is significantly greater, and without the tradeoff of ten years shaved of your lifespan.

I was gonna say Yellow and Pink, until I saw the "publicly" exception on black.  So black and pink.  Just use the black one safely.   

Yellow -- seems great, but I think black is the better choice overall.

Black -- get lots of money quickly, manipulate life in amazing ways.  Maybe the burden of having that power would be rough though.

Pink -- makes the green pill redundant.  You can fly for one hour at a time 3 times a day or you can shape shift into something that can fly for two hours at a time 2 times a day.  You can use this to access interesting places and do interesting things.  It would be the most fun. 

Blue Pill - yeah, this was definitely on body building forums before

Orange pill -- I'll just fly to a medical state with my pink pill or buy tons of weed with the money I make from using the black pill.  Or just turn into a budding weed plant with weak stems and shake my buds off (might hurt though)

Red pill -- uh, just no.  :lol 

Grey pill -- I wouldn't want true love to happen like this...I'd feel like that person is my slave or something.   Some creative uses of the black pill could substitute for this anyway.

then you take the black pill, look 5 years into the future, take the evolved tech from then, bring it back to current time, implement it, look forward 5 years to see how it evolved, implement it in current time, and so on until you can do both of those things.   develop it in secret, then kill the people who helped you so the public doesn't get ahold of the tech.

done.

Post by: Barry Egan on May 07, 2013, 10:08:15 AM
I choose green and yellow.  It is a little disappointing that green has a time limit, but it does allow me enough time to fly through my morning and evening commute, which would do wonders for my sense of well being.  Plus I wouldn't have to spend money on Metrocards, which have been ratcheting up in price over the past few years. 

Obviously the yellow pill is an ethical black hole, but I think after a few months of being a total PUA-esque nightmare I would use it to expand my ability to empathize with people.  Hopefully.

Gonna have to go with the black pill... yellow seems cool but I don't know if I can handle hearing all the shit-talking about me people keep to themselves. Pink pill would be pretty fun too and make a lot of the other pills redundant. Why turn yourself into a super athlete who has 10 years to live when you can pop a pink pill and turn into one for the length of a game?

Better question, why are you a miscer?

A miscer is a member of the misc section of the bodybuilding.com forums. While most of the bodybuilding.com forums are geared towards the bodybuilding lifestyle, with a few exceptions, the misc section is generally where all the unrelated random topics tend to be posted.

Miscers are predominatley male in the 18-34 age bracket. Although many claim to be avid bodybuilders, a lot do not look it judging by their avatar pictures.

Miscers tend to be a cynical, impatient and fickle lot and do not take kindly to unfunny trolling. Said trolls are often dealt with harshly and negged to oblivion.

Most miscers are looked down upon by other members of the forum because they post almost exclusively in the misc section and many do not even work out. It is also where most of the forums trolls congegrate.

To make it as a miscer your main goal should be providing entertainment to the other misc members. Probably the easiest way would be providing comedy relief or posting something informative or of an 'epic' nature.

Miscer Troll: "What's up my fellow miscers? Are you aware that protein harms your liver? Don't take protein brahs, stay natural like me!"

Miscer: "Negged"

I live in Winnipeg--who wants to fly in this weather?

The ability to fly is awesome, but, ultimately, I can fly by entering a climate controlled plane in which flights last for more than one hour.

On the other hand, if I were to combine the green and blue pill I could dunk like Jordan in Space Jam.

Yup.  Also, I stayed away from the black pill because the combination of mortality and general awfulness would just make seeing the future horribly depressing.

Red is sort of pointless if you own a smartphone.  But I don't own a smartphone, so I picked it.

You can't shapeshift into something that reads minds or predicts the future. Those have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way.

It says shapeshift into ANYTHING. No stipulations other than time limit. I could just choose to shapeshift into someone who has taken one of the other pills. :smug

Yeah I definitely would go with the yellow pill. If only to know for sure when somebody is lying or if a girl might have a boyfriend. Blue and red seem useless and combining yellow with grey, black, or orange would probably turn me into a sociopath or schizophrenic.

So between green and pink, I think I'd go with pink assuming the pink pill still allows me to retain my regular amount of intelligence and doesn't have any overwhelming animal instincts kick in. And is also instantly reversible so no hunters or anything kill me.

Yellow and pink allows for all sorts of manipulation and espionage, be it emotional or corporate. Black pill seems scary to me. I don't want to know the future--I want to control it.

depends on what kind of 'knowing the future,' I guess. If it's like see all the threads and control the future paradoxes be damned, then hell yeah, that and the yellow. I'd bank up, live it up, and then start a religion and rule the world in twenty or thirty years.

If it's the old-timey Twilight Zone knowing the future (in absolutes and usually an awful trick or lesson)...I guess the green? it doesn't say how fast you'd be able to fly. Seems convenient.

chose yellow, seems like it would be the most useful one in daily life. you could find out immediately if chicks are into you and when people are lying to you or to win negotiations and you would find out what people really think of you, which would be rough at first but ultimately would shape you into a better person.
