5 years.

Should be fun for the first year or so, then get incredibly boring, then probably incredibly fun again as I go a little loopy from lack of interaction. But I think I'd come out alright in the end.

In the real world, where I would be the only person with any superpower at all, it would be a 10/10 choice. Tons of creative uses, flying being a good example.

In a world where other superpowers exist, probably like a 5.

Mom and dad decided that I should join a youth league in 3rd or 4th grade. Twenty years later, all I have to show for it is one 300 game and a 791 series (three games).

Hey, 300 is nothing to scoff at. I know people who have been bowling for 40 years and don't have one yet. And they're not slouches, either. I mean league bowlers with 200+ averages.

Think I was 8, got about 2 innings in when one of the employees raised up the bumper rails because we were getting gutter ball after gutter ball and they must have felt bad for us.

They're called "frames."

I was pretty much raised in bowling alleys. My parents met in a bowling league. I had a bowling birthday party when I was 4 or 5. I joined my first youth league when I was 8. I'm 36 now and have been bowling competitively in leagues and tournaments ever since.

I do everything readily available to me in a game the moment it becomes available.

So, for example, if I finish a story mission in GTA that unlocks a new island I will then spend the next 10 hours or more doing all sidequests that just opened up on that island before continuing the story missions.

Though when it comes to things like collectibles, I will usually avoid getting any of them until they're all obtainable. Then I'll use a checklist to make sure I don't end up with like 99/100 and no way of knowing which specific one I have missed.

You don't meet 1 person of an ethnicity and assume everyone of that ethinicity is like that one person.

No, you wouldn't. And scientists don't. The problem is that you're equating things that aren't on the same level.

The "alien" version of your suggestion would be "If you meet 1 life form, then you assume all life forms are like that one life form." And no scientist I've ever heard has suggested that.

A better way to put it would be "If you meet 1 person with a particular trait, then it's safe to assume that there is probably another person out there somewhere who also has that trait." And it would equate to the statement "If you meet 1 being that is alive, then it's safe to assume there are other beings out there that are also alive." They don't have to be the same kind of life. They just share the trait of being alive.

I guess it depends on what you mean.

I still have deep feelings for the first girl I fell in love with. I have no idea where she is or how she's doing, as we lost touch many years ago. But if she called me up today and said "I'm in trouble and I need your help" I would drop everything to be there for her. That being said, if she called me up and said "I want to be with you" I would have no interest in dating her anymore.

Halo theme probably has more mass awareness than a lot of people realize, too.
And although it's not proper "music" (i.e. not a full song), I think the Final Fantasy battle victory chime is also pretty universally recognizable and I've seen it in pop culture media as things like ringtones a bunch of times.

I've been told, multiple times by multiple black friends, that they wouldn't care if I used the word around them. I've also had multiple conversations with them about the word and what each of us understands it to mean and represent.

Context is important. With some of these friends, I will simply never say the word whether they've given me "permission" or not, because I understand that they find it offensive (and, more importantly, why they find it offensive). With others, I'll only say it if I'm directly quoting something and leaving it out sounds more awkward than just saying it.

The ONLY circumstance where I will say it on my own in my own speech is in those discussions directly about the word itself. And even then, it's never directed at anybody in particular and I still try to say it as little as possible because it really just makes me personally uncomfortable.

Recycled air?
I'm pretty sure placing a few hundred people into a sealed chamber for several hours where no air gets in our out will lead to guaranteed death through carbon dioxide poisoning. Nah, airplanes draw in air from the outside through their engines, which is then cooled, demoisturized, and pressurized before being fed into the cabin as breathable air.

It's also heavily filtered and treated before being fed into the cabin. Airplane air is literally some of the cleanest, safest air you will breathe in your life.

if people were asked to leave out either the cheese or the pepperoni out of a pepperoni pizza, I bet you nobody would pick pepperoni over cheese.

Well no shit.

A pizza without cheese hardly even qualifies as a pizza anymore. You're basically telling people they're getting pizza, and then having them choose between a cheese pizza or a piece of bread with pepperoni on it.

Cheese is the most important topping on a pizza. You can have more or less sauce (or none at all), or all kinds of various toppings like sausage, pepperoni, anchovies, etc. and people will still look at it and think "yeah, that's a pizza." But if you hand them that same thing with no cheese on it, their first thought will be "I think you forgot something."

Because in any instance where there isn't anything at all, you cannot be there to observe it.

There may be (and probably are) an uncountable number of other "dimensions" or "universes" where things work differently or there is simply nothing at all. But it's impossible for us to have been born into one of those.
