    #2 is straight up torture. No matter how much you eat, you cannot stop losing weight. Your body no longer retains nutrients as it passes right through you

    It says you can't gain weight. I'm already overweight, and about max for what I can be to keep my job (military) and not totally break down. So if "can't gain weight" means this is my max weight and no matter what I do I can't go past it, that makes a comfortable hard stop for future efforts toward dieting.

        Depends on if the descriptions are jackass genie rules or not. If it's being genuine, it means you won't gain any excess weight beyond what's healthy. 1 and 3 seem like descriptions ripe for abuse as well.

        1: Thinner!

        3: You can no longer get things you need because you are unable to shop.

          2 (as long as that means I can't go past my current weight, not that every time I poop, sweat, or pee I lose weight I can never regain) 5... and I guess 9. I'm doing okay, and I've never had a strong need for "a lot of money."

          5 isn't even because I want to have super strength, it's more to be able to compensate for my jacked up joints and being overweight.

          I would trade any of the three of these for "cure my sleep apnea" though.

          1 sounds tempting, as long as it's just the insulation, you know? I don't know a whole lot about biology, but I feel like if you immediately removed all fats from your body, your cells would just die (all the lipids disappearing). But if you could remove all the fat listed in the "body fat percentage" and made it so I could still get some fats quickly (for a healthy amount), I'd take that over 2. Once it's there, it makes it so hard to get rid of, but I feel like if it was gone in one go, I could keep it off.

          Wow, my decisions for "magic pills" would be kind of depressing to 20-year-old me. At least with the exception of my health I'm reasonably content.

            There are people who cannot grow or simply don't have any fat cells. It's a surprisingly debilitating condition, but you don't immediately die from it.

            Fats are a normal component of any cell membrane, and if we're talking no fats whatsoever, there would be no membrane to speak of.

            It's not just about the storage cells.

                        1 would kill you pretty quickly. You physically need to be able to store fat from food, plus it sounds like it might just delete all the fat you have, which would kill you immediately.

                        I understood it as no excess fat. So maybe 5% but no less.

                          Yeah a lot of this depends on whether it's a monkey paw situation but as is the question isn't what you want, it's what the pill literally says it does.

                            I see it from a biological perspective. Weight gain is derived from absorption of nutrients. You gain and lose weight all the time. As soon as your intestines no longer hold food you are no longer absorbing nutrients and therefore are losing weight from just existing.

                            I cannot argue with your interpretation of a made up magical pill. I just see it from another perspective.

                            Perhaps you would enjoy the no fat pill more since that's how the body store excess energy.

                              Excess weight is literally fat. That is how the body stores excess energy.

                              Not sure if you can live without any fat or not. Would have to look into it.

                                  Yes I read it the first time. It's such a wild undefineable description that differs from person to person, even from environment to environment.

                                  But you interpret the magical pill how you want. And I'll interpret it how I see fit. Deal?

                                    Yes, that's why it's a magic pill. I already interpreted it two different ways - if it's granting the "wish" in the spirit of the clear intent from the phrasing, it won't be harmful, but if it's being literal, you're gonna die.

                                        Okay, not just phrasing, but the overall presentation. Because these pills are presented as desirable things that you can only pick 3 of, it would make no sense for any of them to be negative.

                                          Desirable is another incredibly subjective thing don't you think?

                                          Most of these doesn't sound desirable at all to me.

                                          You consider them desirable because you imagine their effect as something positive.

                                          So I wouldn't say they're presented as desirable and positive as much as you want them to be.
