    It’s such a wild undefinable description that differs from person to person, even from environment to environment.

    Yes, that’s why it’s a magic pill. I already interpreted it two different ways - if it’s granting the “wish” in the spirit of the clear intent from the phrasing, it won’t be harmful, but if it’s being literal, you’re gonna die.

        Okay, not just phrasing, but the overall presentation. Because these pills are presented as desirable things that you can only pick 3 of, it would make no sense for any of them to be negative.

          Desirable is another incredibly subjective thing don’t you think?

          Most of these doesn’t sound desirable at all to me.

          You consider them desirable because you imagine their effect as something positive.

          So I wouldn’t say they’re presented as desirable and positive as much as you want them to be.

            If the effects aren’t intended to be positive, why is it asking you to choose “only 3”? You can decide they’re not positive to you, but they’re clearly intended to be.

              Why do people play “would you rather?” Why do people play “marry, fuck, kill”?

              It’s fun to mix and pick options and see what others would do.

              If the game was “you get all positive and negative things ever in existence” well, that just wouldn’t be very interesting now would it?
