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?

K > B > F > A > H > E in order of best to worst in my opinion.

I wouldn't really consider the others

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (7 children)

K is objectively the right answer. Probably followed by A with a a bit of a dice roll on West Africa. Who wants to be born in a poor country?

I really like the concept here, but it needs some tweaking.

K is probably most likely to be a good life. B is my second choice.

If I go F, what's the probability of being born in R'Lyeh?

[–] Jhogenbaum@leminal.space 3 points 2 months ago

Probably higher birthrate than the Antarctic

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is there any land it G? Like is it just to small to see or is it a joke option?

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)

Even if this wasn't included I was already thinking of this. A, C and I all seem like they have rather good odds at putting you somewhere in Africa.

B and hope I get a Central America spawn.

Probably:

K>B>H>E>G. They all have decently developed countries whilst ensuring that you don't end up born in a developing country.

For the big slices, F should be best (guaranteed to avoid the worst outcomes).

Born in Antartica would be a neat second playthrough. Polar bears are hella scary but I would definitely boop the nose before I go down.

"I" would include antartica and subantartic islands?

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Nah that's like a bunch of Philippines in there too. The islands near the top of Australia
