My cat is best.

I understand that everyone's cat is the best and stray cats are also the best, but my cat is the best.

The wizard who runs thought experiments gives you a magic orange tree. Once a day, this tree grows a single orange that, when eaten, restores the person who eats it to perfect or near-perfect health. The fruit loses its magical property if divided between multiple consumers, or if it is frozen or artificially preserved. The tree produces no more than 365 fruits per year. Any cuttings or seeds sprouted from it produce non-magical, ordinary orange trees; there is no way to increase the absolute number of fruits produced. What is the most ethical way to distribute the fruit?

Give it out to whomever you personally like best

Give the tree over to a public authority to control according to its rules

Auction the fruit on the open market

Give the fruit to applicants who meet specific moral and personal criteria

Distribute the fruit by lottery

Give it to those to whom it will grant the most quality-adjusted life years

Give the fruit to the most important people in society

The fruit can't be distributed fairly, so no one should get it: destroy the tree

If I missed an option, pick the closest one and complain to me about it in the notes.

#of those the obvious one is to give it to whoever it'll give the most QALYs#but auctioning might outperform if you also commit to giving the proceeds from the auction to the most effective cause?#also would be logistically simpler than finding the right person every day

earhartsease

auction off each orange and use the proceeds to fund free healthcare and medical research (and an island in a lake of lava protected by seven dragons to protect the tree obvs)

bidding reserve is set really high so only the stupidly rich bid on it

we're not saying this is the best solution but it's not a terrible one? also job creation scheme for dragons

#well the most ethical is random lottery but if i had the tree i would be giving it to people i know first and their loved ones #because obvs but i have feelings #dudes be duding #that's non-gen-specific dudes obvs #this is a hypethetical and i am human and important to understand how people would act

In every universe, you are lovable. Some people just be dicks sticking to marketing tropes.

Eileen Gu and her iconic Bubble dress at the Met Gala 2026.

The Olympic gold medalist freestyle skier showed off the high-tech Iris van Herpen gown featuring thousands of glass bubbles that released actual bubbles as she walked the red carpet.

Hidden within the garment, microprocessors precisely coordinated the release of pressured gas bubbles, sequenced through a dedicated digital interface and calibrated to operate autonomously. 15 000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles were individually bonded in place with UV light, releasing constellations of bubbles that floated into the air.

Music: Herbie Hancock, Bubbles

What they don’t tell you about getting into bird watching is that once you get into it, you do not get to decide when you bird watch. You can be on the beach of some distant tropical country with nothing planned except relaxing. But then you see a Common Fluttering Nut Buster and you’re like fuckkkkkkkk holy shit guys the Common Fluttering Nut Buster is not supposed to live this far west holy shitttttttttt

You can also be in the middle of a Glasgow council estate and then there's a BLACKBIRD and I am watching just to see how its life goes.

I do think it's kind of funny when plot summaries are like "character A encounters the last person they expected...their ex." Idk about you guys I'd be less surprised if my new coworker/roommate/random dance partner was my ex than I would if it was, like, Megawati Sukarnoputri the first woman president of Indonesia.

runawaymarbles

Any of my exes could plausibly attend the same conference as me. But I'd be really surprised to encounter former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

shakibone

Which of these would surprise you more to find on the doorstep?

Your ex

Megawati Sukarnoputri, the first woman president of Indonesia
