    @futurebird 100 times larger of course! Think of all the data centers and warehouses you could just hulk smash.

    @akamran @futurebird I came to the same conclusion. Also I might try to use my size to finally rid this county (USA) of a certain person by flinging them into the ocean.

      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 I believe both would be fatal to me. Being 100 times tall giant I'll probably be put to shot down after trampling a few of my neighbors to death. A 100 times smaller I sure won't survive the week out in the wild being all of a sudden at the bottom of the food chain.
      I would avoid this scientist as much as I can.

        @futurebird I'm clumsy as it is, I would hurt other people at 100x the size.
        So 100 x smaller, if I can be sure no cat is involved and I can prepare a reasonable living space before hand (don"t want to die of thirst because I can't reach the faucet)

          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 does the same movie logic apply to any items you might be carrying while being shot with the shrink/expand ray?

            If that’s the case then i’d definitely go smaller, with a couple of bowling balls, a hazmat suit and the date and location of Elon Musk’s next colonoscopy at hand. You can probably figure out the rest…

            Though the Godzilla option also sounds pretty rad tbh.

              @futurebird if I'm 100 times larger, does this mean my eyes will have an aperture of 600mm ? Sign me up.

                  Was gonna say bigger to at least avoid being stepped over, then I thought I could've hungered due to requiring way too much food. Smaller it is then, so I can learn from the ants and easily find sufficient food.

                      @futurebird I chose smaller because I didn't want to be hungry looking for 100 times the amount of food for a week, and with huge hands have trouble grabbing onto things, whereas smaller I figure I can find something that can sustain me the whole week easily!

                        @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?

                            @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!

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

                                      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 "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.
