Imagine eating single part of a raspberry like an apple!
Having a slice of boba with a tiny dot of whipped cream on it!
@futurebird I suppose you could just swallow big things like a pumpkin without chewing when you decide tot be 200 m tall. But what would happen if you do that just before the week is over?

A mad scientist has a shrink/grow ray and you will be hit with it. You will either be 100 times larger (200 m tall) or 100 times smaller (2 cm tall) for one week.
Because of movie logic you will not die or suffer any huge health impacts, but you must make it through the week.
Do you go big? Or do you go small?
How will you spend your week?
I'd build a nice little lego house and go small

@futurebird 100 times smaller will give me the chance to see how the citizens of my Model railroad really live and whether it make sense to stay there.

The average human sized human walks three miles an hour. One could assume at 100X the height the legs would get you places faster at almost the same rate, so around three hundred miles a day. I could see A LOTTA OCEANS AND MOUNTAINS AND AND ANNNDDD...
@HCBunny @futurebird Isaac Asimov wrote a short essay on the speed of seven league boots. If I recall correctly, he concluded that a person walking in them would break escape velocity and end up in orbit.

@futurebird I voted smaller, because it seems easier to (a) find things to eat and (b) explore without becoming a massive public spectacle, even if all I'd be exploring is my own home. Or maybe catch a ride on someone's trouser leg?
But if I did end up 170m tall, I'd tromp over to an ocean and go swimming, exploring depths not usually possible without specialized equipment.

100x…. Is that enough that vorticity matters? Reynolds number? One of the invisible ways the world is truly different at different scales?
Haven’t had to think about that for a while, can’t remember any details!

With #picaTheCat it's not being eaten I'm worried about. In fact she'd turn her nose up at me. But, she'd want to "play" for hours.
*shudder*

Until we lay on the floor to die, barely moving, like the half dead flies, they got bored of. -

@futurebird "The Incredible Shrinking Man" described the dangers of being very small. But still...

My wife: I’d go small.
Me, just voted larger: “what would you do if you were that small?!”
Wife: make a cozy nest and take a nap. Ride my cats around the house…¯\_(ツ)_/¯ … ok, point taken.

@futurebird 100 times larger. I have people I want to stomp.

@futurebird
200m is two Godzillas high, which would be great for mayhem. If I could make a plan in advance for public goods to pursue for the week, I'd probably pick that (I'm on the west coast, so storming DC on a whim probably isn't realistic).But if it's a surprise like in this hypothetical, small sounds more fun. 2cm isn't horrifyingly small yet, but it is small enough to change some physical constraints (eg safe fall height).
Plus, less likely to end in prison afterwards.
-
@futurebird @blindcoder larger = take that damn ray gun. Do the DC thing. Zap a big slobbery dawg. Feed the big dawg a particularly unappetizing chew toy — they’ll eat cat shit, so it work.

@futurebird If you were 100 times bigger, you would be surrounded by soldiers with tanks and attacked from the air by gunships and fighter planes. If you were 100 times smaller you would be eaten by a spider, a mantis, or a crow. Neither outcome seems ideal. I couldn't choose.

@futurebird One of my kiddos eats cherries like you'd eat a plum. It's hysterical
-
@futurebird if I'm 100 times larger, does this mean my eyes will have an aperture of 600mm ? Sign me up.
@corpsmoderne @futurebird I voted to go large. Our local mountain is said to be the seat where a legendary giant sat to watch the stars. The weather's reasonably warm now, so that's what I do. Watch the stars at night and survey the countryside from my vantage point during the day.
There's a mountain lake and streams for water. Food might be a problem, but I'm sure friends could bring me enough meat, potatoes and veg to prevent me starving. It's only a week, after all.

@futurebird if you're not some galaxy devouring immortal, or something, being bigger sucks, because you'll have less space and therefore less fun. And I'm also considering the grocery bill.

@futurebird I regret choosing before reading your awesome descriptions of being small.
However...Imagine just stomping on these losers. Like just being up there, absolutely stunting on all these little ants and not even noticing they're in awe of you. I would absolutely terrorise these miniature peasants for 7 solid days before I shrunk back down and pretended I didn't know what I was doing. Real talk fuck all these people, you all know I deserve it.

This may be a test for introverts/extroverts?
