read the future. make a ton of money on the lottery, because when you're rich, you can do anything you want to anyways 😉

living forever would be cool, but it would suck to live forever and be poor. plus, chosing when you die = suicide = going to hell
 
Stop time but only if I don't age when everybody else is "frozen." Otherwise I could be 50 when everybody else is 20 🙁
 
Live forever. If you live forever, you will eventually get two of the other ones (knowing the future and flying (assuming technology progresses to that point)), and you'll live long enough to appreciate it.
 
Didnt vote - its a tossup between:
--> Be able to stop and start time, for indefinite periods, freezing everyone else but not yourself
--> Read the future (up to 20 years)

especially because he eliminated freak accidents! You die "when your choose"...that's REALLY hard to beat.
 
Do you age when you stop time?

I picked stop time. Think about all the stuff you could steal. Or you could be a super hero and save people about to get hit by bullets, cars etc.. Knowing the future sucks. The only thing knowing the future is good for is to pick stocks and make money, but you could steal money by stopping time anyways.

I didn't pick live forever because it would suck to see all your friends/lovers/kids die, over and over again.
 
"I didn't pick live forever because it would suck to see all your friends/lovers/kids die, over and over again. "

Excellent point. Although living forever would give you vast, unimaginable knowledge and scope over the course and history of human events. It might be worth it to be a loner.

Also, if you chose immortality, you could do some pretty incredible stuff...get launched to Mars and walk around... nothing could kill you. I'd be down to kick it on mars... bring a beach lounger and a little dune buggy or something.
