This has got to be one of the best options, seeing as most of the ones it ends up with would be cool if everyone could do.

Every spring you turn into a tree. The process takes several days, allowing you opportunity to find a good spot to root. After you lose your leaves in autumn you change back into a human again. You only age while in human form.

This would have some drastic repercussions to society if it happened to everyone on Earth. My main concern would be agricultural - farmers wouldn't be able to tend their fields during summer, and the rooting/de-rooting times might even interfere with planting and harvest times. We'd only need half as much food though, so that may somewhat ameliorate the problem. Another concern is personal safety in tree form. If everyone's a tree, what happens if there's a major fire in the city? What about the inhabitants of drought-stricken areas? Caterpillar infestations eating leaves, or worse, elephant infestations knocking trees down? Not to mention the infrastructure damage from all those roots growing and retracting every year and from everything being left unattended during the summer.

So, although having it happen just to me is sucky, it might be best in the long run.

Having this happen to everyone on Earth instead of just me would actually make it somewhat safer for everyone. We'd all turn into werewolves at the same time (assuming it's the standard full-moon thing) so nobody would get hunted by werewolves, and since it happens to everyone else too _I_ wouldn't be hunted by _non-_werewolves. If it's not the random rampage type and we keep some semblance of our wits about us it could even make for an interesting sort of monthly holiday.

If people can understand beaker then it its not really a big deal. If you personally speak like him, you'll sound silly, while if everyone does, it won't make a difference. In fact it would be good because everyone would speak the same language. However, if people can't understand it. The personal one would suck, but the global would lead to the total collapse of society.

On the downside it's going to basically destroy civilization and leave large numbers of people stranded far from water, with difficult prospects for surviving.

An unkillable spirit of vengeance keeps striking you repeatedly with an ordinary tablespoon. Each blow is only a minor annoyance, and you can run away from it for brief periods of time, but it will always follow you and will never, ever stop.

I could see this working out relatively well as a global thing. Humanity would simply become nocturnal, though people working at particular jobs could stay "awake" through the day by staying indoors or maybe wearing protective clothing.

I live in a city that's quite far north so things would get kind of interesting here - during the winter I don't normally see the Sun anyway (it's dark when I leave for work and when I come home), and during the summer there'd be only a fairly brief window of darkness at night.

Never have to go to the washroom again

Much as I'd like to think this would solve world peace, I hear some people enjoy using the can, so I won't be so rude as to take such pleasures out of their life.

bryan.derksen

It says never *have* to go to the washroom, maybe you can still go if you *want* to.

I have no particular examples, mind you, but I recognize that sometimes there is a need to urinate on something that comes from reasons purely beyond the physical.

Hm. If this happened to everyone on Earth it would result in lots of hardship and death, large swaths of the world would be uninhabitable for some or all of the year. So the altruistic thing to do would be to take one for the team and be the only obligate nudist. But on the other hand that would suck.

Well, it's not exactly a cure for world hunger, but it's at least one meal we can all share. Perhaps this strange evening when everyone on Earth had the opportunity to sleep with a full stomach, united in the taste of macaroni and cheese-like sauce, will do more for humanity than the mere physical sustenance it provides. Perhaps we will finally realize, in this momentary respite from our most desperate and base needs, that we could all afford to care a little bit more about each other.

Except for the lactose and gluten intolerant, of course. Screw them.

Actually, I think this pairing makes sense. On the one hand you could find out that the Loch Ness monster is real but you'll have to prove it to everyone else to get them to believe you, on the other hand everyone finds out that it exists simultaneously. I can see plusses and minuses to each side of this.
