Current Events > The ability to teleport, but your IQ drops 10 points after each use.

(+) Yeah! (+)

You can teleport anywhere in the world with no chance of error. But every time you teleport your IQ drops 10 points permanently after each use. In this scenario your IQ starts off at 2,000. And after you officially hit 0. You permanently become brain dead.

Deal. Save it for emergencies and enjoy the IQ boost.

What would an IQ of 2000 even feel like?

If your IQ was 2000, you'd be some sort of supreme being.

IQ is not a valid metric for measuring intelligence

It really isn't. Especially, having an IQ of 2000 doesn't even make sense in human brain terms. I can't even imagine what that would be.

However if it were me becoming super intelligent and getting the ability to teleport but lose some intelligence every time I use it, sure I'd take it. I'd just enjoy the intelligence and save the teleportation for emergencies.

Apple Bee's is more than just a restaurant, it's an experience.

When you step through the door of the restaurant your first time, you are transported into a world unlike any other. The low light of the restaurant casts shadows on the knick-knacks adorning the walls, and the translucent hum of the various screens through the restaurant create a sort of ethereal presence in the restaurant.

Right off the bat, you know you are in for a dining experience like no other.

"Welcome to Applebees!" a cheerful host says to you. "How many are in your party?" You hold up two fingers. "Right this way!" She responds. As you walk to your table, you wonder how she can deal with so many customers, yet remain so chipper, but shrug it off as another wonderful mystery caused by the splendor of Applebees.

The waitress takes your drink order and for a moment, your head is spinning. Do you want a soda? Do you want iced tea? You look at the drink menu and you see a litany of alcohol beverages you have only dreamed about - Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light...

The waitress offers a helpful suggestion of an Oreo Shake, and you say that sounds great. She asks if you'd like a round of water for the table as well. You smile. This is the kind of attention to detail that you expect from Michelin Star rated restaurants, not a Neighborhood Bar & Grill!

As the waitress goes to fetch your shake, you peruse the menu. The pages are jam-packed with the names of delicacies that you can only imagine. Fiesta Lime Chicken? Shrimp N' Parmesan Sirloin? You shift in your seat; you suddenly feel very self-aware that you do not belong in this restaurant. Your palatte does not feel sophisticated enough for these cuisines, and you worry that you will not do these delicacies justice when you enjoy them.

Just at this moment, the waitress comes to your table and all your fears are dissuaded. You order the Chicken Tenders Platter (a local favorite). You take a sip from your Oreo Shake and breath a sigh of relief as liquified Oreos slide down your throat. You lean back in your booth and relax.

Suddenly, you hear a chorus of heavenly voices rise from behind you. You turn around to see all of the Applebees wait staff coming towards you, singing and clapping their hands. "Happy happy birthday, from Applebees to you," they cheer. "We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too, hey!"

As soon as they arrived, the employees scatter, leaving you to dwell on the beauty of it all; the fact that Applebees treats you with such precise, special attention, the five-star cuisine, the exotic decor, and the fact that the wait staff is so eager to share in your special moments with you.

I miss this pasta and I miss chill02.

Somebody got a low score!

oh fuck. didnt read the you start off at 2,000 IQ part so I voted no

---

So the 200 IQ play is to take the ability and use it exactly 180 times, then?

Also 2000 IQ does not make sense as a concept. You're looking at 126.7 standard deviations from the mean with that. There's no test or sample size that ever could give rise to such an extreme outlier.

I have never taken the test, I never intend to, and my thoughts on IQ are available on that site. I've been saying exactly the same thing for years.
