I like this.

But I don't have any mod points.

So I'm just going to leave this oddly meta post about liking what you just said.

That's like answering "Would you rather have the power of flight or invisibility?" with "Immortality, duh". The exercise is designed to create personal and individual answers to a set scenario. My solution is minimizing pain because I'm not a huge fan of it and I am a practical minded person. In your case you're more of a story teller and would like to brag about going out with a bang. We have different personalities and therefore answer the question in different ways.

Whatever floats your boat, and I'm glad people float their boats differently otherwise the question would be immensely boring.

TL:DR
Theoretical questions require you to stay within the bounds of the fictional scenario, and in this specific case I would always chose the least painful. That is why I voted at all.

Spaceship powered by a constant stream of exploding nuclear bombs? I'd love to watch that liftoff. From underneath a wooden desk.

Now, I picked my option because of a very specific reason and I'm wondering if everyone else did as well...

Because it sounded the least painful.

Thank you, I will.

What do you think the children were soldering?

Is that it?

That is immensely interesting. (No sarcasm)

For the sake of further experiences with the font, here is mine: I'm normally a self-proclaimed fast and proficient reader and reading this font is no different. No harder and no easier. So it does seem to have very individual and seemingly only beneficial results which is very cool.

Read it again.

Micromanaging your life using a time machine, that's actually a quite interesting interpretation of the theoretical scenario.

Personally I'd do something stupid like cheat at the lottery to A) Not work again B) See what happens to the time streams and (maybe) see if paradoxes are possible.

I see a lot of votes for the last option and I wonder how many of them are Doctor Who fans.

Personally I'd see little point of going back in time (and scared to due to the "savage" nature of humanity and rampant illnesses)

And I'd be terrified to go forward in time because by then Time Travel will probably be mainstream and regulated and I don't know what to expect from their technology level. (also new diseases.)

I think I'll stay on my couch.

Nice and safe.

Unless the Doctor drops by... Because nobody dies when they follow the Doctor, right? ...Right?

Well, yeah. Real life shows us that when they don't follow standards and we get waste. And that's what happens. Over and over.

I hardly doubt Apple not following any known standard is a protest against the diversity of standards in contemporary technology.

So if everyone actually DID follow standards things would be less wasteful. That's all I'm saying.

I know of a magical way that can REDUCE it. Standards.

According to Curiosity itself https://twitter.com/MarsCuriosity/status/232524619528167425 there's no microphone. So those sounds were either recorded during some other project or made in a studio somewhere specifically for that video.

That's very neat and all, but a little too much fake production values for my tastes. Curiosity does not have a microphone so the sounds are fake and the video is clearly not natively 30fps.

Again, very neat.
