I'd choose 4,5 & 9

[drunkanroot@sh.itjust.works]

9,9,6 with lots of money causes sadness

[redwattlebird@lemmings.world]

Hey now... I'd totally take the extra 5cm. Maybe 15cm.

[double_quack@lemm.ee]

5, 6, 9.
I would take 5 as "emotional/mentally"

[laranis@lemmy.zip]

#4 three times. The rest seem fleeting (money) or attainable through hard work (strength). Unlike others in these comments, I think being happy constantly would be its own type of hell.

But being tall is like being attractive. It is life on easy mode. As a slightly-less-than-average-height person an extra 6 inches would probably be the most permanent, positive impact any of these would have.

After 9 you can just buy all the others or the process described

[lud@lemm.ee]

I choose 5 and 9. I really have no interest in any of the others.

[chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

My issue with 6 is that it feels like a monkey paw. There are times we shouldn't be happy, like tragedies happening to others, deaths ,etc. While being overall happy in life sounds great, always happy sounds like a cognitive issue.

Check your weight in the morning then later in the day. It always fluctuates, with your overnight fast/ not drinking water making you lose some weight if you couldn't gain any but could still lose weight, you'd eventually wither away.

2, 5, and 9 for me

[freshlight@sh.itjust.works]

I would, too. It's just....
At least write something like "increase own height by 5cm".

[anomnom@sh.itjust.works]

I thought this was Linux land, surely it’d be ZFS no?

[wildcardology@lemmy.world]

2,5 & 9. Plus money always makes me happy so I get 6 for free.

[alloi@lemmy.world]

if i chose six, i wouldnt need any of the others.

[moopet@sh.itjust.works]

You could do that with any of them. Super strong? Crushes friends when trying to hug them, etc.

[onion_trial@europe.pub]

Easy: 1, 4, 5. I don't care about the rest, don't need it or find it scary.

[onion_trial@europe.pub]

I understood it as your strength being controllable (like you're used to). The happy pill kinda sounds like you couldn't

[freedumbparkway@my-place.social]

@kingpepe8006 6, 9

[allero@lemmy.today]

That calls for a monkey's paw

1. There's literally no more fat in your body. Your cells burst, you die immediately.
2. You're not able to gain weight, but you still lose it. Every time you sweat, breathe out, go to the restroom - you lose weight. In a matter of month or two, you die from exhaustion.
3. Now you can't buy groceries and really anything you want or need and are forever reliant on others to provide you with anything you didn't yourself produce.
4. The height increase is achieved by all your organs instantly extending, causing internal injuries and disabilities and now many physical stresses can kill you.
5. You're so strong you cannot adequately measure it, and have to be very careful not to break everything around you.
6. You're always happy. You're never able to grieve, or reflect, or do anything. You've lost any reason to progress, or even really sustain yourself. You die in bliss on the streets.
7. Followers are invading all of your personal life. They doxx you, follow you everywhere, try to document every moment of your existence. You cannot have peace and solitude ever again.
8. You forgot your ex. You also forgot every good moment in your life you ever had together, and are left wondering what is that void in your brain. You will never know what happened. But someone, somewhere out there who is your ex will.
9. Inflation came strong, and now everyone has millions upon millions of dollars. Too bad they're only worth a few rolls of toilet paper.

6. is just MDMA
