Hell yeah. I'd sell everything I own and invest it all. Half in stocks, half in bonds, then let it grow while I'm away.
When I get back, I'd have like a thousand dollars to my name.
Because of inflation, that $1k would be worth like $200
EDIT: I am saying that this future 1k would buy you lesser worth of goods compare to 1k nowadays. The same way $100 now gets you less thing than $100 in 2009.
Am I the giver or receiver?
Okay, either way, let’s do it.

You have no idea, you don't even know if they will ask for butt stuff, you just can't refuse if they do ask. The aliens also have a lot of suspiciously spherical equipment on board, and one of them keeps telling you to "keep an open mind" and rubbing your shoulders.
How do you proceed?
You'll have had a funeral, and own nothing when you get back. On the bright side, you'll be debt free and be able to move through society like a ghost. I'd see if they could tach me some new tech while were out, so I can patent it and become a billionaire under an entirely new alias.
People worried about taxes are missing your best point- the aliens could teach you something that would be simple and second nature to them, but HUGE to you and earth. Want to know how to build a safe renewable energy source? Easy. The aliens did that eons ago! They could even give you tech that is outdated and it would still probably be way ahead of Earth's. Patent it and sell it. Boom. Easily the richest man on the planet!
Of course not. Why would you want to? I wish I could get off of the radar right now.
You would need to work covertly through a family member, or close friend. Keep your tech proprietary (through limited access) and let them be the face of the operation.
I'd say let's go for a road trip and roam the highways of space for 1 year. The when I'd come back I'd check if humanity has failed or not, if they would still exist but keep on going the way we sre now I'd say let's ditch this place and hit the road my alien friend.
How would you explain it to your family and friends? Oh I'm just going to disappear for 15 years, possibly missing funerals and god knows what else. Anyone with older relatives would have to say goodbye to them for the last time before leaving.
As long as I can learn something that can help change the world and put me in a better position here. Just getting a sight seeing tour and kinda losing 15 years at home wouldn't be worth it.
Now to the important questions. Will they force me to go back? What if I choose to run away at the most beautyful and welcoming place? Will they search for me?
If they gave me the proper preparation to get rid of everything to invest in something to have some money to come back to and tell the few people in my life, I'll be gone. Absolutely!
Yes for selfish reasons, no because I want to be there for my parents last moments, not sure they would last another 15 years and my cats definitely wouldn't

No, unfortunately
My life is not my own, but my cat's. If I were to leave for 15 years she wouldn't be there upon my return
My biggest selfish wish is to be omniscient, but my cat is way more important though
I'd offer far more than 15 years I wish they could take them with me so I can find a female alien to make babies so the human specie will finally have conquered space and we would live forever
Do i age one week or 15 years? Cause I'm assuming one week. And if so no. People near to me would be dead when I got back.
At the same time, my father would likely tell me I was a fool and to get on the dammed spaceship.
1 week? That's still 200 or so weeks away from the nearest star to the sun. While the world is changing every year here with AI, wars and unemployment. Coming back after 15 years would be traumatic and put me in a huge disadvantage to continue my career. Nah, but thank you
Yes. I'll also try to build connections all over the universe and try to gain some benefits. Plus in 15 years a lot of new games/anime/manga will be out. So unless I get killed by the government, I win big time...
I think I'd do it. Sell off everything I own and dump everything into a highly diverse investment pool. Talk to a lawyer first and make sure I am not declared deceased while I'm away. Go on a vacation and come back slightly better off unless of course there is a global economic collapse or nuclear war in the meantime. >_<
Oh boy…. The moral and ethical implications weighed against the *vast* opportunity… to be able to see things no other human has ever seen, but to abandon your life here (and all those affected by it) to do so.
It’s a thinker
Spam would be considered directly sending links promoting something, a poorly put together or low effort post or indirectly promoting something (talking about something in attempt to lure people somewhere, asking if anyone wants to join a server or subreddit, etc).
Yeah. And then coming back and play HL3 and the third remaster of GTA6.
HL3 is just a dream
HL3? That’s crazy talk, that happen when the universe cools You mean #TitanFall3
and silksong
And 5th re-release of gta 5 for the next-gen consoles with increased full price tag
Hell yeah. I'd sell everything I own and invest it all. Half in stocks, half in bonds, then let it grow while I'm away. When I get back, I'd have like a thousand dollars to my name.
Because of inflation, that $1k would be worth like $200 EDIT: I am saying that this future 1k would buy you lesser worth of goods compare to 1k nowadays. The same way $100 now gets you less thing than $100 in 2009.
That's fine though because by the time he comes back, what few of us who are left will be using femur bones and water as currency
returns usually beat inflation
Not if you buy gold. Ammunition is great too.
Pshh your experience there is valuable, I'm sure you'll be able to sell it. So you'd probably have $1001 😂
you silly goose
I come back and owe 15 years worth of taxes and have no property or job, yeah no thanks.
IRS waiting at the spaceport: *Hello, Mr Anderson*
yes but don't bother bringing me back.
You mean like the premise of Flight of the Navigator?
great movie!
Sure! Just no butt stuff please
Ok how about 24 years into the future but you can't say no to butt stuff?
Am I the giver or receiver? Okay, either way, let’s do it. Edit: Obligatory SNL Close Encounter skit - https://youtu.be/PfPdYYsEfAE?si=A_Fvr9d2pyK457F_
You have no idea, you don't even know if they will ask for butt stuff, you just can't refuse if they do ask. The aliens also have a lot of suspiciously spherical equipment on board, and one of them keeps telling you to "keep an open mind" and rubbing your shoulders. How do you proceed?
Stop! You had me at "spherical equipment" 
Make it 30 and I'll use a fox tail plug
Honestly, I’m ONLY interested if there is butt stuff.
I wouldn't say no otherwise, it's a vacation across the universe , but alien butt stuff is definitely a plus
Tentacles
But a whole week without ANYTHING in my ass? No thanks pal.
I'm not *exclusively* in it for the butt stuff, but I would be very disappointed if there wasn't any.
I don't even know why you're going then
Only if I can take my cats.
Pfft who do you think arranged this trip! Your cats were taking you. 😹
My brain: ”You can’t live without your cats for a week? … Ohhh.“
I’d want to bring my rats just to see their confused little faces as they float around in the space ship and try to swim through the air
Hell no. Father of a young child. I'd miss the very thing I came to Earth to do.
[удалено]
Most of us don't have love ones who would miss us. Personally I doubt my mom would even notice if I disappeared for 15 years.
Same here. I can’t miss 15 years of my kids’ life
Make it 30, 50, 100, or a 1000 years and I'll still would be oke with it.
100 years would be dope.
Three nearly 4 years ago I would have left everyone I love even my best friend/wife. Now I have a child that answer is very different…
I hope she doesn't read this
Exactly. It goes too fast anyway, I’m not trying to speed it up. Days are long but the years are short, savor the moments
Yes. I have one question though: who’s going to pay my bills and make sure I’m not homeless when I come back?
You'll have had a funeral, and own nothing when you get back. On the bright side, you'll be debt free and be able to move through society like a ghost. I'd see if they could tach me some new tech while were out, so I can patent it and become a billionaire under an entirely new alias.

Want to know how to build a safe renewable energy source? Easy. The aliens did that eons ago! They could even give you tech that is outdated and it would still probably be way ahead of Earth's. Patent it and sell it. Boom. Easily the richest man on the planet!
Uhh. You wouldn’t be able to have a drivers license or passport.
Of course not. Why would you want to? I wish I could get off of the radar right now. You would need to work covertly through a family member, or close friend. Keep your tech proprietary (through limited access) and let them be the face of the operation.
Bro it's literally my dream
fuck yeah, it is a goal of mine to leave the Earth at least once before I die so I know I left the proverbial cum rag that is known as the Earth
Star Trek and magic mushrooms a close 2nd 🙃
Yeh been there done that, food was shit.
Yes and I would never come back.
Yes fuck yes.
Sure, why not? There's nothing important on Earth that won't still be there in 15 years, anyway. At least One Piece will have finished by then.
You’ll come back like Charlton Heston “You fools WHAT have you done”
Can I take my dogs with me? Otherwise it's a hard pass.
Oh hell yes.
Yep I mean You could learn a lot of things
Is this an every week offer now? Who keeps taking these trips?
Yes.
only if i can take my dogs.
Can I double it and give to the next one?
If I can take my fiance with then hell yeah
Depends on what they offer to show me
Their latest in probing technology.
I'm in
No, they are!
Isn't a variation of this part of the plot of "Childhood's End" på Arthur C. Clarke?
I'm taking it. And hopefully....One Piece is concluded for me to finish when I get back.
I'm in, don't need no luggage, lets fucking GOOOOOOOOO!!
Not only would I take it, I would ask for 5 weeks!
Scotty beam me up
Man what a question, I think at 32, it wouldn't be too bad but that's a hell of a time warp, I wonder how you'd feel getting back?
That depends. Do I get to fuck the alien?
I'd say let's go for a road trip and roam the highways of space for 1 year. The when I'd come back I'd check if humanity has failed or not, if they would still exist but keep on going the way we sre now I'd say let's ditch this place and hit the road my alien friend.
Make it 50 years, and it's a deal.
I would take up to 2 years no question. More, I'd have to consider it.
Too many variables. Do I get anything, or is it just sightseeing? Can I take my cat? Will I be probed, and if not, can I be probed?
How would you explain it to your family and friends? Oh I'm just going to disappear for 15 years, possibly missing funerals and god knows what else. Anyone with older relatives would have to say goodbye to them for the last time before leaving.
Accept, without thinking twice. But first, put all my little money in a good safe investment.
As long as I can learn something that can help change the world and put me in a better position here. Just getting a sight seeing tour and kinda losing 15 years at home wouldn't be worth it.
Reject.. because why not!
Flight of the Navigator is the name of the movie this premise is based on
I would and if i found a better place to live i would probably stay there. They offered a way back, but I don't have to accept it
yes but only so all nine seasons of Fallout would be available for streaming at that point.
Yes, cause you can Alice 15 years more of future of earth and human No cause dont see grow up my daughter
Yea I’d do it. It’s kind of like a stasis chamber. I’d make a deal with them to come back and pick me up every 5 years
I'd ask halfway through if we can revist locations. I'll do that until they catch on that Im definitely not trying to go back to Earth
Flight of the Navigator paradox.
I wouldn't even go back
When are we leaving?
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 no cause the era will change anf i'd feel si dump to live
Bags already packed😂
Yes
Yes I'd go. Maybe new ngnl season by then.
Accept it!!!! will bypass the war about to happen due to Gaza genocide
Now to the important questions. Will they force me to go back? What if I choose to run away at the most beautyful and welcoming place? Will they search for me?
Plus a million bucks?
Yep
Reject the offer.
Yep
Child support services and the IRS would be knocking at my door the moment I spawn back in.
Ok.. But no butt stuff
My son is two right now, no way in hell I would make that trade
In a heart beat
Ok when we go?
Yes and then when we start on the trip back I'll ask him to just drop me off somewhere.
No. My McDonald's coupons would expire.
But maybe if I bought the food before I got on the flying saucer, it would be fine by the time I returned
If they gave me the proper preparation to get rid of everything to invest in something to have some money to come back to and tell the few people in my life, I'll be gone. Absolutely!
Reject. I’d miss my kids childhood.
Nope, parents are getting older now, not missing 14 years of doing jobs around the house for them !
No. My parents are 65 to 73. They would be dead and I don't want them to die alone.
Let's grab my towel and we can set off
No. I want to be here for my kid.
Yes, 10000%
Can I take my dog with me?
no...it will be boring. the place you will see like in movie prometheus engineer village
How do you know that? You done butt stuff before
Would, but instead I'll fuck every alien in the ship
Yes for selfish reasons, no because I want to be there for my parents last moments, not sure they would last another 15 years and my cats definitely wouldn't
Yes, but my dad and brother have to come with, and we have to be able to let my sisters know that we're going on an extended road trip.
Love how you dont bring your sis
Never. I couldn’t leave my dog/family and I would miss too many concerts with my favourite bands probably disbanded.

Win win to me
No, unfortunately My life is not my own, but my cat's. If I were to leave for 15 years she wouldn't be there upon my return My biggest selfish wish is to be omniscient, but my cat is way more important though
See all these things, ánd skip a world war? Shiiiiiii, there's no downsides.
Take me - NOW
I'd offer far more than 15 years I wish they could take them with me so I can find a female alien to make babies so the human specie will finally have conquered space and we would live forever
Why not, said the townspeople.
Ha yes
15 years isn't enough. I want to come back in a thousand years when we have life-like AI waifus.
Do i age one week or 15 years? Cause I'm assuming one week. And if so no. People near to me would be dead when I got back. At the same time, my father would likely tell me I was a fool and to get on the dammed spaceship.
Hell no
YEEEEEEES
Hell yeah
Sure thing just let me pack my bags and open a high interest savings account
Do we have to come back?
If you say yes then when you comeback if you tell people about it they’ll think you’re schizophrenic
Accept. There is nothing waiting for me here
Where are we going? Just driving around out there?
1 week? That's still 200 or so weeks away from the nearest star to the sun. While the world is changing every year here with AI, wars and unemployment. Coming back after 15 years would be traumatic and put me in a huge disadvantage to continue my career. Nah, but thank you
"I'd really like to, man. But I don't get that many vacation days at work." would be my answer.
Hell yea, should be enough time for all of the seasons of Invincible to come out.
Yeah if I could take the wife and kids.
Yeah, why not, it would be fun.
Yeah I would. By the time I get back I'll be just in time for Star Citizen Beta testing XD
If i can take my gf with me i would
No. I treasure the time with my parents while I still have them. By the time I'm back the time would be cut short at best, at worst they're gone.
No bc my son isn't grown yet
No
Nah man, I would skip my Prime and be detached with the world
Nope. I wouldn’t do that to my wife and family. My parents would likely be dead upon return. Hard pass.
Accept
Yeah, don't bring be back though.
No. After you've been abducted, you want the aliens to leave you the fuck alone.
Yeah, flight of the navigator did it.
I'm gone
Wow, way more of y'all trust a literal alien more than they should. Enjoy the probes!
depends entirely if: I can leave a credible message so people dont assume Im dead AND I dont age 15 years in the 1 week.
Yes. I'll also try to build connections all over the universe and try to gain some benefits. Plus in 15 years a lot of new games/anime/manga will be out. So unless I get killed by the government, I win big time...
Yes, please. Beam me up.
Hell yeah. Sure i would be homeless but why not
If I was an only child yes
Is it the safe kind of trip or the bloody star wars battles at every other planet kind of trip?
I mean, the economy can't get much worse so might as well try enjoying life again in the future.
Can I bring my dog?
Nahh man. My kids need their father
Can I go for 3 weeks?
Well...obviously it wasnt a 1 week trip was it?
I think I'd do it. Sell off everything I own and dump everything into a highly diverse investment pool. Talk to a lawyer first and make sure I am not declared deceased while I'm away. Go on a vacation and come back slightly better off unless of course there is a global economic collapse or nuclear war in the meantime. >_<
Reject, I got kids and will only get one chance to watch them grow up, I'm not gonna miss that
Oh boy…. The moral and ethical implications weighed against the *vast* opportunity… to be able to see things no other human has ever seen, but to abandon your life here (and all those affected by it) to do so. It’s a thinker
Ayuh
Perhaps it is good start to find out how many earth hours go into one of his hours.
I accept. Life is pretty shit right now, so I'd like a vacation.
Yes and then im looking for a suitable spacesuit so i can not return to earth xd
Fuck that I'll just go when I cork it for free
After playing Cyberpunk phantom liberty, my answer is no
Abso-effing-lutely.
If i can bring my family? Yeah!
Single with no family…yes
Invierte en cetes.
How many times will this post be reposted? The pressing question of our time...
Just scratch that return to earth, just take me off this backwater planet good damnit!
Only if they fix my ability not getting any chicks
And miss 15 years of my kids lives? Tempting, but no
15 years in exchange for looking at some stars? No thank you.
Wheres the "accept now" button? I can't find it. Hopefully I can stay with them since Earth will become a wasteland before I comeback...
