You can choose which part you want, however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there). What part would you choose and why?

I guess K is the least risky option

Remeber kids, bad humans are far more dangerous than scawwwy Australian animals

You're all cowards I'm rolling the dice on C and I'll be chilling in Tokyo with my waifu body pillow while yall get eaten by snakes in K.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was born in C, not recommended.

(People's Republic of China)

Restrictive firewall, no porn, hard to get western media, so you'd be stuck with ww2 sino-japanese war tv drama or some cringe romance stuff.

With a population of 1.4 Billion (well, minus the area covered by "E"), you'd most likely end up there.

Did I even mention video games? Yea... that's gonna be tough to get, definitely no online multiplayers (even if you somehow got a VPN, the ping is gonna kill you).

And your VPN could fail at any time even if you do get it.

Also, OP didn't specify you get to choose your gender, so if you're born as a woman in Japan... good luck. (Don't ask why camera shutter sounds are mandatory on Japanese Phones)

Gotta go with B. The US might be shit and you might be out of luck in Mexico too. But you'll still be able to earn enough to emigrate somewhere else.

E would be close second for me. China, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand aren't bad. But you might get unlucky and end up in Burma.

K. Coincidentally, I was actually born in K.

People around here seem so scared of south america. It's mostly a nice place to live.

Id say K first because developped countries and low poverty areas.

G second because i lived the island life for a few years and it's pretty chill, beyond the underdevelopment and obesity.

H, B and E third, poor countries but not that bad, beyond overpopulated poor areas, Argentina is great and Mexico is good, US is neutral, Canada is win.

D and J fourth, you can live a decent life in those aera but with a very large bit of luck, majority of people live in poverty, oppression, or starvation. South Africa has some racism, but it's not that bad as a place to live.

A>F>I>C

is this loss?

K. Australia is quite chill.

The swooping magpies might be an issue though.

G would be safe. I would be even more morbidly obese than I already am, but I would be safe. (If I would spawn on an island)

B, land of tacos

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

That's a really interesting question! I admire the creativity :)

I think it would have to be K though, as that includes Australia and New Zealand, so no chance of being born in a developing country, unlike the others. I assume the Polynesian islands are not too great to live in, but idk.

K. Australia seems cool.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I moved fromcJ to K and can highly recommend K. K is excellent.

North Iraq is pretty decent ngl. Lived there for a few years. Would still chose C and gamble for a Nordic country tho.
