(This is shorter than I wanted it to be because I just spent over an hour and a half I didn't have on talking with a friend.)
If for the first one of these, you give up you make 80$ a day, and for every subsequent one double that amount. (If you are disabled in some way that already removes from you, then for the sake of this theoretical it counts as if you gave it up.)

  1. The ability to jump


    -
  2. The ability to sweat


    -
  3. No more skin oil - No longer waterproof, pretty certain deck unless you can create very specific circumstances, but if you're maximizing profits, it may be viable.


    -
  4. The ability to heal damaged or broken bones - Now, this is feeling like a risk-reward scenario. Is the fear worth the ten dollars a day? No 640? Maybe...


    -
  5. The ability to cut your sleep short - you always sleep for the full 8 (more or less) hours. Nothing can wake you until time passes.


    -
  6. Low light vision - you are now old and have a pension.


    -
  7. Instant reactions - you are now in control of your reactions to things; you always think before you react, remember not to stop breathing.


    -
  8. Having Two arms - Cut one-off, why don't you.


    -
  9. The ability to learn new languages - this includes programming languages, again you become old. At least in steriotype.


    -
  10. The ability to taste - Now how will you use all this newfound wealth?


    -
  11. Empathy - Not a rare exchange.


    -
  12. The ability to improve your skills. - You shall never beat me at chess, and anyone will be able to surpass you eventually. But on the other hand, money.

12 More May be Book Ideas

  11/20/20 14:59, by , Categories: List of 12

Today's color is #34c2fc

I only have time for one post this Friday so no pre-post and I have to write the first post that comes to mind.

  1. The Day That Might Have Been - A series of groundhog day style short stories.


    -
  2. When He May Be The One - A book on relationships, I can't write this, but someone can.


    -
  3. What Might Have Been Great Powers - And why you've never heard of them


    -
  4. I May Be A Creator But... - A group of humans are recruited to create a world for an alien species.


    -
  5. When It May Be The Time - a guide for would-be revolutionaries.


    -
  6. He May Be Evil - The story of the hero who saved the world.


    - (this may be stupid, I don't know what to write here.)
  7. You May Be The Chosen One - a self-help book about how you should approach the world


    -
  8. I May Be The Chosen One- A work of fiction, demonstrating the benefit of self-help techniques from the previous book by example. The main character will be the type of person the techniques are meant to help you become. It needs to be good as a stand-alone book.


    -
  9. A Day That Might Have Been The Last -The times the world was closest to end. And places where empires could have fallen but didn't


    - (Could could probably work better than might in some of these.)
  10. I Might Be Mighty - A coming of age story. As one realizes the impact, they can have on the world around them.


    -
  11. Tales That Might Have Been - Stories that could be the truth but we just don't know.


    -
  12. You May Be Strong As Well - But you won't know until you try. Still-self help in a way but more by giving you tasks and things you might be able to do so that you can know your strengths. Or feel better about getting things done.


    You know actual things to do instead of an approach to doing something you haven't chosen yet.

12 Non-Violent Uses For Barbed Wire

  11/17/20 23:58, by , Categories: List of 12

No clue what to write so this is what it is.
Not that there aren't more effective tools but that isn't the point.

  1. Fruit Juicer (well shake maker) - well you also need bowl or a cup, simply shred the fruit on the wire.


    -
  2. Loosen dirt for crops or gardening - attach it to a pair of sticks and drag it across


    -
  3. Tie Things Together (as with non-barbed wire) - Listen you're on an abandoned military base, or something. Maybe you're stuck surrounded by mine fields and you have to use all you can get.


    -
  4. Get fruit off of trees - likely to hurt yourself but throw it over a branch and try to pull fruit off.


    -
  5. Fence in animals - well duh.


    -
  6. Make a fork out of it - Use a little section as a poking utensil to eat with, I don't see why not to use your hands in this scenario, or a stick but you can try. Wrap some around the end of a stick. That's better.


    -
  7. Cook food over fire - small sections of food on the barbs and rotate a section of wire over a fire.


    -
    (Trap rabbits or other small game - this is technically violent so it doesn't count)
    -
  8. If you find sturdy enough board, or crappy enough barbed wire you can make yourself a chair with a little bit of give. Now you can also make a bed but I'm not that crazy.


    -
  9. Make a pseudo net for washing your dishes equivalent, or for hanging them out in the rain. - Clothing not so much. We need to find a way to blunt these barbs. Well, you can bang them with rocks, so you can also use it to make a drying rack for your clothing, it will still get ripped though, just not as much.


    -
  10. Make a drying rack for meats, or skins - Hunting is a form of violence but this is just the aftermath. (And I'm not completely against violence it's just not the focus of this post.) You also need a pair of sticks or elevated ground but you can


    -
  11. Have a tides rising warning mechanism - Put pieces of wood or ion the wire, or even two lengths of wire, and when the water rises they'll rub against each other making a bit of noise. Now it's probably not enough noise for your purpose but your creative you'll figure out how to make some sort of bells.


    -
  12. Make wooden bells - you still need carving tools but the wire can take the place of string if used properly.

12 Birthday Wishes

  11/16/20 17:38, by , Categories: List of 12

It's my aunt's birthday today, and so I'm writing this for her, but all my other readers feel free to take what you want. But the focus on this isn't originality but what I think is best

  1. I wish you get a sufficient amount of complete REM cycles and that even when you don't, your sleep satisfies you and gets you energized for the next day.


    -
  2. I wish you don't get too bad a hangover


    -
  3. I wish you find freedom and time to explore and create more for yourself


    -
  4. I wish I get to talk to you more often (and to do so, I'll call more.)


    -
  5. I wish your siblings don't drive you bonkers (I cannot say more, they too might read this.)


    -
  6. I wish you find peace to go along with your patience - I know how much idiocy is in the world.


    -
  7. I wish you find even more things to laugh at


    - (I wish I don't sound too cheesy here, but that's a me thing.)
  8. I wish you success in all you endeavor - and that you find someone to share your inventiveness with who won't try to rip you off.


    -
  9. I wish you are able to lessen the idiocy around you through the sheer power of your presence


    -
  10. I wish your friendships multiply despite the lack of allowed social contact these days


    -
  11. I wish you the best of physical health and tha some unforseen enviormental factors help you develop further. I wish old injuries lessen and not increase.

Questions That Everyone Should Try

  11/15/20 19:44, by , Categories: List of 12

At the very least, ask yourself. (Honestly, I'm starting off with zero questions, so a better title would be 12 questions I should try, but I may have asked these before; I just never thought of them in this context. And I'm doing more than 12.)

What was the weirdest (or most obscure or least familiar) piece of music you've ever heard? Where did you hear it, and what culture is it from (or subculture if that is the case)?
-
Why don't you know any weird music? Is it because you are satisfied with your current music library? Or are you just stuck within certain genres and styles and like it there?
-
When did you become who you are today? Is there an event you can trace it back to, where you the same person or someone that could be described the same way yesterday?
-
Do you enjoy making stuff? What was the last thing you made? And what were you making before that?
-
Why did I just think that? (I've asked this before and only ask yourself this, but it's good to ask frequently.)
-
What's the best possible interpretation? If everything went right for you, how would your life look in 2 years? How do you want it to look?
How in 10 years? But that is a completely different question for some reason. (you can question that as well, I sure am.)
-
How long have I been sitting down for? (Posture is important.)
-
What do you wish you learned in school? If you were a teacher, how would you approach teaching that subject? What could you teach that you think children would be better off learning?
-
Do you think we treat children as dumber than they are? Do they rebel against power structures because they feel as if they are looked down upon? Are they?
Were you a stupid child? Could you have been taught more in school or is it a surprise they could teach you something at all?
-
Who is the smartest person you know? (in your opinion.)
What don't you agree with them about, and why?
-
Think of the dumbest person you know?
What do you agree with them about, and why?
-
Who is the most moral person you know?
What don't you agree with them about, and why?
-
(look I found a template I can bring onwards. It's a great template feel free to use it, but not too many times on the same person. Unless you're asking yourself.)
-
Who is the most immoral person you know of?
What do you agree with them about, and why?

I have been too stationary in my life I'll try moving more tomorrow I hope it will bring me to new heights of creativity, or at least catch me up to my old heights, of those two months where I was super creative and productive that make the last half-year look like a joke.
But I like this post very much, at least the last bit, there is a reason I made more than 3 questions based on that idea.

Have a productive week, and I wish you accomplish something whatever it is.
