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?
@futurebird 100 times larger would have me terrified of doing some Clifford the Big Red Dog shit, except it's a realistic world, so people I accidentally step on would be capable of dying. I'd also be worried about running into the same fate as every other film with creatures taller than most buildings. (I know you said we won't die but I can't imagine a military wouldn't be on my ass if I started stepping on people's homes, whether I wanted to or not.)
Meanwhile, 100 times smaller means I can effectively disappear from society for a week and my bed becomes the size of a city block from my perspective. I usually have snacks in the room, so I can just subsist on junk food for the week. Water might be difficult unless I was able to prepare ahead of time, but the most unpleasant thing that could happen to me still sounds no worse than if the inverse happened.

A few dozen boxes of cereal mixed with sticks of butter should be enough calories to keep the tummy from rumbling for a bit.
Water might mean popping a hydrant, unless you live near some nice clean lakes.
@futurebird @DamonWakes @btrinen
it will be a catastrophic event when I'll need to go to the toilet.

@futurebird I mean smaller is the only one that makes sense really. Couldn't afford the food bill to go big. Also, while I think I could trust my spouse to leave me in a habitrail for a week, I don't think the US military could go a full 10 minutes without murdering a giant trans person.

@futurebird @GreenSkyOverMe Cool, thanks a lot! I‘ll let you know about the surface tension problem as soon as I‘ve solved the issue with my power plug and the oversized receptacle I didn‘t think about.
This plan sounded better when I was bigger.
@zappes @futurebird does voltage scale down? Maybe a button cell can be your outlet.
-
@futurebird 100 times larger of course! Think of all the data centers and warehouses you could just hulk smash.
@akamran @futurebird pleased that I wasn’t the only one to think of the work I would do as a kaiju for a week.

Either of these options will kill me.
Too big: there's nowhere in my city where I could bed down. Square-cube law says I'd break if I tried to stand, too. (Also, my required medication dosage would increase extremely alarmingly.)
Too small: my cat would eat me.

@unitof @futurebird I‘ll try it as soon as I can find a really tiny blade for stripping the wires of my power cord.

@futurebird 100 x smaller every time. I can literally just stay inside all week, which is my ideal week. Otherwise I’d be forced to stay outside for the whole week, which is a nightmare scenario!
-
@Geisseltierchen @futurebird yeah, you could also be eaten by a bug.
@averageGuy101 I will fight with a sting from a hawthorn! @futurebird
-
At 200m tall I don't think a bullet would kill you. It'd hurt, but who would be brave enough to get close enough to try? You could pick them up by the shirt and pluck their gun away.
@futurebird You really believe the army would stop at bullets to get rid of a giant?

@futurebird@sauropods.win 100x smaller. finally, affordable grocery.

@futurebird small. Big would be shot dead so fast, small I could hide and not be killed. Though the thought of encountering bugs while small is absolutely terrifying, I would need some help.

@futurebird Smaller, because when you are 2cm tall your grocery bill is roughly zero.

@futurebird thank you for specifying because i never know what "x times smaller/less/etc." means -
@futurebird thank you for specifying because i never know what "x times smaller/less/etc." means@futurebird anyway there's a reason why so many custom unreal tournament levels are enormous kitchens and bedrooms while i've never seen one of tiny cityscapes and continents

@cstross @futurebird but remember the Movie Logic applies. So you could probably stand.
Not sure if the "no adverse health effects" provision protects against the medication dosage increasing though.

@futurebird bigger.
I'd spend the first few days rounding up a bunch up a bunch of men who like to belittle women. I'd dump them in zoo enclosures in their pants and get a normal-sized friend to make signs telling the world what they did.
I'd spend the rest of the week rounding up anyone heard defending them. -
gnawing works I think.
But the cold of the ice cream might be a little dangerous. You could get very cold just by being too close to that delicious glacier.
@futurebird get me a big coat, a spade, and a pickaxe!

@futurebird Smaller. Why: 1) I have ZERO interest in being any more visible than I already am. I have zero interest in consuming more food. I have zero interest in accidentally squishing rare plants and the occasional slow puppy.
Also I would absolutely adore visiting the woods as a tiny person, and riding on my dog's back. I am 100% confident my dog would not try to eat me if I smelled the same.
I could do micro art!
