If You Have Choice then Which part would you choose to be born in?
(piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)
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?
Beat meat to it!
I can't tell if everyone else got whooshed, or if we're getting whooshed.
I was also wanderying that nobody commented it yet...
This thread caused me to look up WTF y'all were talking about, and yeah... It does look like it's a whoosh. But I suspect a lot of people are like me and had no idea what loss.jpg is and have never seen it before.

Holy shit that's a sneaky one
K seems like the "safest" option.
Flying venomous poisonous 48-legged spider-roo might change your opinion.
No one said anything about having to stay there, and Australia-only at least basically guarantees the option, unlike let's say many African countries.
They seem to do fine in spite of it, honestly. And no large predators of any kind.
They
Flying venomous poisonous 48-legged spider-roos? Yeah, they feel fine...
:)
There's not a lot* of dangerous critters in that part of Australia, most of them live further north.
No mass shootings though

K is the only area you're guaranteed to be born into a first world country, therefore giving you better passport privilege to move where you want to go if you don't like it.
Monkey paw, you get born as a fish, and spawn-captured/killed immediately.
Yeah but you might be born as an aboriginal tribe member, which the Australian government isn't exactly the nicest towards.

I'm at a loss.
G. Just drop me in the ocean man I want out
You were born a tuna! Yay!
Congratulations, you now live on Moruroa.
It might be a decent option, I guess. Island countries aren't rich but they have some advantages in other areas. Personally knowing the president sounds cool.
K is honestly the only truly safe option.
G. Be among the first to be eaten by Dread Lord Cthulhu when He awakens.
Or you're just born on an airplane
Which is a good deal, honestly. Air passengers are heavily selected for at least moderate wealth.
why not both?

K
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.
B contains mostly lower population areas in the US and Canada, if you go with B you're almost definitely gonna be in Mexico.
A is interesting, you have a good chance of being in the US/Canada or western Europe, but it also contains a fair portion of heavily populated areas in western Africa that might not be ideal.
At least the US is big enough that you can still fuck off to live outside of governance if you wanted. Free life is a pipe dream

I guess K is the least risky option
Remeber kids, bad humans are far more dangerous than scawwwy Australian animals
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. Coincidentally, I was actually born in K.
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)
H
Boooooo.
Looking at this chart I realise once again that I maybe didn't win the lottery but got most of the numbers right.
K is best
C. It contains China's eastern seaboard which is the dominant prosperity region of this century. The stable long term planning and responsible investment into people is unrivalled and only beginning to pay back return on that investment.
