How screwed are you?

I can’t wait to visit Starfleet Medical to get my back and stomach fixed, live in a post scarcity utiopia, see other worlds, and study whatever I want.
EDIT: I think the worst thing will be contemplating the metaphysics of transporters. But maybe I’ll just never take one.
- My own meme and it applies here.
- Oh... Can I change my answer? I wanna be in Star Trek, too.
  
  monkey's paw finger curls
  (It's the Section 31 movie universe)
  If there were no jackass genie or monkey's paw shenanigans, I'd want to go to the Lower Decks universe specifically.
- Lmao I'd be off to requisition a runabout lolol fuck this planet lmao
  
  I’d find some small tropical moon and set up orbital defenses
- Really depends on the time period though. There were quite a few unpleasantries even in that universe. Klingon War, Dominion War, Borg,...
- Ok, Bones
- Anyone care to join me at the Holodeck, I have a vampire & werewolves novel... XD

Factorio.
I'm fucked, because I'm also terrible at optimizing my factory
- Nah its cool factorio guy doesn't HAVE to leave.
  No pollution, no biters.
  Very doable.
  Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.
  You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.
  Eternity awaits.
  
  Yeah the only thing stopping you is the laws of physics which are seemingly different here. This could work.
  
  I'm pretty sure you can't pick up landfill without mods.
- Counterpoint
  This planet is unprocessed, and I will be the one to refine it. The Factory Must Grow.
  
  I don't know shit about factorio really but this is still really funny and I feel like I understand it more now and it makes me wish even more that I liked playing it
- You only have to optimize the factory enough to protect yourself. If you can progress faster than the biters, you're probably fine.

LOTR. Entirely depends on when and where I show up
- You're a ring on a chain around the neck of a Hobbit.
  
  Well then it'll take divine intervention to kill me
- Congratulations, you're born as a mighty Uruk-Hai warrior! In the distance you hear trees yelling
- ... as Shelobs sex-slave hopefully ...

Dark Souls/Elden Ring
It's not like I can die so it's not that bad. It's worse.
- Elden Ring is the world that is entirely devoid of hope, where many golden eras are all long past like millennia ago. There maybe another golden era coming, but it could just be a gilded age.
  
  Melina has hope, and gives reasons for it if you talk to her down near the three fingers but before you interact with them. There's just no hope of the status quo ever being fixed.
  
  FromSoft fans who have been around since Kingfield in the late 90s: "always has been" (because from hit gold with the old and decaying fantasy world with dwindling hope in its inhabitants atmospheric vibe and keep reusing it)
- I would totally retire to Majula, pet the kitty, befriend the blacksmiths daughter.

SCP fan

Cyberpunk 2077. But I don't have to wonder about it. Its happening already.
- At least Cyberpunk got joy girls and working cybernetics. We get Gilead and cyber trucks that short out from a car wash.

Discworld's fine by me.
- I feel like my life would t be any different. I’d be a wizzard with an annoying job dealing with people who don’t understand magic and all the familial obligations.
  I’d be fine, which is nice, but I’d just be me in another universe.
  Maybe I’d be longing for a less weird universe. And that makes me sad.
  So I guess I would t like to live in Discworld universe. I wouldn’t be the wyrdest person there.
  
  Well, if you're a wizzard, then you probably can't spell (that's the joke)
  
  Would you be working with Hex?
- Just don't call the librarian an M-word and stay off the streets of Ankh Morpork at night.
  
  Need to be careful during the day, as well. And no eating Dibbler's sausages!
- Came here to say this.
  It get a job with Moist Von Lipwig and learn all I could
- Their university leadership are slightly more coherent than mine - I'll take that life.

Me as a fallout fan, probably longer than I should lol
- Considering how fast I died by rats in the original, I'm fucked.
  
  That was me on 7 days to die. My ass! More like 20 mins to die.

Star Trek? Hell yeah. The Borg might be a small problem and the Klingon, but no cooking, no cleaning, no need for money.
- Being turned into a Gorn breeding sack? Kinda into it
- no cooking
- I consider the Borg to be a goal, not a problem.
  
  I am introvert. I cannot even imagine having people mind connected 🤣
- I am confident we will get there. Have faith.
  
  Of the heart?
  
  I don't know. It seems that it is going towards the Star Wars universe though.

Me as a drunken dwarf risking my life so the company I work for gets more money: Rock and stone!
- Rock and roll and stone!
  
  Stonie Hawk is that you?
- For Karl!
- Sometimes I wonder if moving dirt and shooting bugs is a good way to make a living...

I'm definitely dead the moment the Vogons destroy Earth to make room for a hyperspace bypass.
- Not if you befriend an undercover alien writing for The Guide!
- You never know, you could turn out to be the most important person in the universe. Happened to me once, you know. Wouldn't recommend it.

So... Do I stay as I am or do I become a pony when I end up in Equestria? 🤔
- Cum, let's do some friendship!
- There's no shortage of fanfic about either option, last time I checked (circa 2012)
  
  Oh I know that much. I'm still on fimfiction.net 😂 it's just nice to have clarification as to what kind of fic I'm going to end up in 😂

Eve online
Very screwed
- Avoid the null zones and be a peaceful asteroid miner? Oh, and try to make enough to pay some mercs. Just in case
  
  I'd be fine as a capsuleer but the odds of being a normal human in that universe are astronomically high.

Each zelda game is wildly different when it comes to the state of the world so i can't say for sure. All i know is i need to protect my pots from that maniac in green
- +1 for Zelda fan. But just be pot seller and you're set for life.
  
  I'll take a half.
- Hide a chicken in one of the pots, never have trouble with that maniac again.
- Just leave the area and come back to your pots being respawned. Infinite money glitch

My favorite fictional universe is Star Trek, but right now I'm really into The Expanse and that's probably more interesting.
Keng mi luck mi gonya kom sif wabelta nakángego ere setashan dédeya wowk tumal wit rashang ereluf unte owkwa showxa kewe mi livit suck da big felota. Kowltim tenye luck pashang mal. Unte nawang pochuye mi fo mi belta so mal.
- I am a trekie too. I only hope to not get reincarnated on one of the planets that got razed to the ground for backgroundstory.
  Additionally it could be devastating for the federation if one trekkie gets assimilated by borg
  
  I mean, immigration within the Federation is free, right? Just move to Earth. Earth is mostly fine
  
  What if you are reincarnated as the crystalline entity?

Pokemon seems awful
Ever present terrorism, most towns don’t have food
Animal attacks are more common and dangerous
- If you take them at face value and not as a gamified abstraction, sure. "Pallet Town" having three buildings is unlivable but it isn't shown that way in non-game media.
  The organized crime is rough but that usually gets sorted out by a child at some point so just keep your head down.
- These terrorist organizations are at least nice enough to let you attempt to capture a relatively weak pikachu for over a decade. My boss gets mad if I go over my 15 minute coffee break.
  
  Not up to date on pokemon lore by a longshot but iirc Jessey and James are actually just nice people who really like pokemon and do their jobs badly on purpose.
- Ever present terrorism
  No one said you couldn't join them
  
  I guess I hate ugly people enough to join Flare
- That doesn't sound that bad
- The anime version seemed pretty nice. I actually got pretty depressed for a few days when I was a kid and realized I would never live in that world.

It's nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is..
I have never put much thought into one I'd deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such.. But I don't think I'd be able to pick just one.
- Multiverse it is.
  Crucially, you don't automatically get to travel the multiverse. You just know it exists now.

Elder Scrolls... So here's hoping I land somewhere in Cyrodiil with a long gap in between major catastrophic events.
- I'd be living in Solitude.
  
  I always liked Falkreath. I was born on a full moon though, so I'd probably fit in just fine.

Brandon Sanderson's cosmere. Kinda even chances between being instantly killed, enslaved, selling my soul to make a living or being stuck in the same office job I already have, but this time I'm Magneto.
- Of all the worlds we've seen, when and where would you prefer to be put, assuming you have the same likelihood as a random person to have access to the magic system)?
  I would probably want to be put on either Sel (specifically the area with soul stamps from the emperor's soul, since that's the only magic I can think of that everyone can use) or the world from Yumi and the nightmare painter (since that's just a relatively normal near-modern city).
  
  It’s a really shitty decision but I’d probably go for the shattered plains pre-Alethi, I absolutely love the vibes of the chasms and exploring with esshondai sounds fun. Just gotta remember to gtfo before dalinar shows up for the second time and hope I don’t get murked by a salty ancestor looking for a meat suit
  
  That's a tough question. Nalthis would be cool - technically, anyone there can Awaken as well, as long as you accumulate enough Breaths, which also give you cool passive bonuses. But also I want to see magic powered spaceships, and we don't have enough books set in late eras yet.
- Good news! You appear as adult Feruchemist with full metalminds. Bad news, you've just been kidnapped by a bunch of Steel Inquisitors.
  
  To be fair, with full steel and Fortune, good luck reacting or predicting where I'll be in the next second.
  
  With full steel and iron, and knowledge of the lynchpin spike, you might be able to take them all out before running out, depending on how much steel you have.
- Yea, I'm on Roahar. Time to find out how hot men's food really is!

You mean I get to love on the Discworld on the backs of 4 giant elephants on the back of a cosmic turtle?
HELL YEAH!

Adventure Time so basically the plot of the Fionna and Cake series (which I highly recommend)
- plot of the Fionna and Cake series
  The what now‽‽‽‽
  
  It's on max :) DM if you need either a link to watch whatever or have questions
  
  It's absolutely amazing. Adventure time for adults

Helldivers...
- Sounds of sweet liber-tea

Pokemon fans: 40k Fans Americans:
- Dropping Mr Bean in there is genius.

Fallout. I'm dead before I realize where I am.
- The game was rigged from the start...
  
  Ring a ding ding

I'm an old man in D&D? Yeah, I'm dead
- You could always sell your soul to an archfey or something
  Personally I would be the strongest cleric under Lliira
- Which is far less of a problem in D&D

I'm not certain if I'd be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I'd be fucked either way though since I assume I'd be a rando off screen, and not the main character
- Stardew you'd at least be fucked in the good way. I mean, just look at Mayor Louis and Marnie
  
  what are your thoughts on Abigail?
  
  Nope. You'd most likely be stuck in the city the player escaped from, or the war that Jodi's hubby is in in the first year.
  
  Because of your username, are you familiar with Derail Valley Simulator? It's an excellent locomotive simulator.
- It's pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren't important or interesting and you're polite to adventurers.
  
  I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.
  Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf's house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn't take out me and any random NPC around me.
  Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn't kill me. I don't remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.
  I'm entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

Pokemon fans can go to dog fighting to understand why they might not be as happy as they think. Also imagine that some of the dogs can electrocute, burn and drown other dogs. Also, sometimes they put a chihuahua against a great dane.

Safest bet is to be a child in Skyrim.
Not sure if there's any mods left on the main sites to make them killable.
- Pretty sure there is
  
  There probably are, but a lot of the big ones pulled the plug due to some very unwanted side effects.

Yeah, not sure, Pokemon fans would be as excited, once they're there. They could have basically their universe, if they just organize a dogfighting league and they don't do that.
...I hope.
- Dogfighting of sentient beings. Some of which have the capacity for human speech. All of which show clear signs of experiencing pain. Some of which can have full conversation with you and speak intelligently. Yeah, that's who you're sending in for your personal blood sports. Pocket Monsters indeed. Not the creatures. You, the "trainer".
  
  Tbf, the vast majority of these creatures are significantly more powerful than humans, and many significantly smarter. They seem perfectly okay with it. I mean hell, you can capture and battle with Poke-God himself. I like to think of it more like a sport all pokemon love or some shit than Pal World-type slavery.
  
  Nah it's okay, they're taken care of in the stasis of the ball. What does taken care of mean? Well, they're in stasis, so technically they don't have any needs to meet, so they're totally fine. What is stasis? It's like being frozen, like cryostasis, but not like that. No, of course they're not fully aware of every agonizing second of blackness! Wait, I mean, they're aware, but not able to actually think or feel anything, and they can't even talk so it's not like they're complaining. Some of them are complaining? Fuck idk. ...are we the baddies?
  Jk that's not supported by canon. Well, the bit at the end about self awareness anyways. [I realized after writing this last sentence immediately before this that it could kind of refer to either the Pokémon's self awareness or the self awareness of the person exploiting the Pokémon. I will not be correcting it to clarify which I meant]
  
  “AITE I’M IM!”

I don't think I have a favorite universe - especially not if I get to live as a regular person. I think I'd pick Elder Scrolls

SCP fan. I'm fucked.
- Oh dude. I hadn't even considered SCP. At least you might meet Alan Wake. Never played the games, but I assume he's an interesting guy if he lives in that universe, and has survived multiple games.
  
  I haven't played the games either, tbh I didn't even know there were games.
  I've been reading SCP's for probably over 15 years now though, with varying levels of obsession with it during that time. There is so much lore and interconnectedness now, seeing it grow from just a few stories was incredible.

I think I'd be pretty screwed. I'd most likely be living in some remote, forgotten village, trying to eke out enough of a living to pay the local lord for the privilege, while trying to avoid my home being raided by Aiel, or Seanchan, or Dragonsworn, or one of the other dozen armies roaming the countryside. Or maybe I'd be serving in one of those armies, fodder for the front lines, going up against enemies with no qualms about using the One Power for killing.
There's a tiny, remote chance that I could be studying in one of the schools in Cairhien or Caemlyn, trying to push technology out of the dark ages, which would be pretty cool. But that still comes with the risk of being a target of Darkfriends and the Forsaken, which is less cool.
- The wheel weaves as the wheel wills.
- I'll probably try to channel and then get chased down by a red ajah, then I lose channeling, get depressed, kms. the end

Various flavors of high fantasy -> probably very dead very quickly unless I gain magic abilities once I'm in-universe.

Shrek fans transforming into (fireproof?) asses ...

On the Sword Coast, I'm becoming a light cleric so fast.
- Until you get some experience in, avoid fights with cats

Wheel of Time wouldn't be so terrible except that you lose 400 years of technological progress and you're completely screwed if you're a male and end up being a magic user.
- Just stop channeling until they
  
  But yea, without modern technology, I'd actually have to go outside? And talk to people? 😱
- Yeah, but... Might get a shot at Rosamund Pike.
  
  Personally I'm more interested in Taylor Napier. Or maybe both of them at the same time 🤔

Morrowind for me. If I could get past being killed by stray crabs I think I could settle down pretty well somewhere. As long as I don't get too involved in anything that seems world-endy...
- I would just sit by the lake, enjoying the rain ripples on the water, and listen to the soundtrack.

i hope I'm fit for starfleet.
- There's always the Space Janitorial Service.

Assuming I can find Sam and Dean or stay the fuck away from Sam and Dean I would be safe.

Marvel.
Shit my insurance rates are going up.

I love Cyberpunk 2077 but since I'm German I might be mostly okay

There is one animated meme making the rounds now, posing the question on whether viewers would want a bucolic near-communist solarpunk future where everyone is happy and has their needs met, or a 40k future of massive mechs that can level entire cities on their own.
I say: why not both?
Crunchy outer shell of 40k that is just enough for a healthy defence of humanity, 90+% gooey solarpunk interior that gives everyone else a psychologically healthy and comfortable life.

Great. Me and the brown coats floating like a leaf on the wind...
- let's be honest we'd be mudders lol
  raises grog flagon to Jayne statue
  
  Or working in the mines taking medicine to stay alive
- Depending on when you arrive, it could all just be a wash......

The Expanse fans:
... dies on Eros

I'm good. I mean, there's a hell portal right next to a certain town in the countryside, but even the demons of this world are more "asshole characters and weird animals" than actual-ACTUAL-demons. Plus they seem to have completely handled issues of poverty and such by taming all of nature with magic, even if they still use money and have jobs. Less 'socialism' and more 'post-scarcity society, but with magic instead of tech'.
.... I'm talking about Equestria from Gen 4 My Little Pony by the way.
....... Then again ponies are like SUUUUPER racist, so if I end up there as a human, I think I'd be experimented on.
- With a bit of twisting you get diablo1/2 universe
  
  .... For real?
  I was a child that didn't understand english when I played Diablo, so I'm willing to take it at face value but like.
  For real?

Berserk 💀

Westeros. So pretty screwed unless it's Dorne or maybe Highgarden.

The factory must grow!

Well I'm either getting raped by a deathclaw, get to exist in the same universe as Dagoth Ur, or WELCOME TO ESTALIA GENTLEMEN!
I'm fucked regardless so ya might as well send me in with those backed by Faith, Steel, and Gunpowder!
- get to exist in the same universe as Dagoth Ur,
  MFW Dagoth Ur isn't dead yet
  
  Kill a god? How could you kill a god, what a grand and intoxicating innocence.

I'll be allright, it is just a small silly ring that I have to throw in a burning mountain. That is surrounded by orcs and other evil beings. While the ring is fighting against me and giving me supernatural powers.
Oh and no pressure, only the whole world will be destroyed and everything I know and love will be gone too.
Yea, Lord of the rings. I'm screwed...
- You're way more likely to be a random civilian pressed into service to defend Minas Tirith, if that helps.
  
  I'm dead anyway. But thanks, it may increase my odds slightly.

Looks like me and the homies are getting stuck in the Lethal Company universe. We're probably fine. Unless we work for The Company, then we're fucked.

I'm excited to see if I can channel. Of course, the reds will try to kill me if I succeed... but still worth a shot!
- Depends when right? Like if it was after the events of the book you should be fine.
  That being said as far as im concerned with these hypotheticals, you get the magic/training/pokeballs whatever it is. Of course most of my favorite characters from WoT couldnt channel so.... hmmmm maybe ill hafta rethink that.
  
  Yeah I guess maybe no problems after the books. Hard to say because basically all of that is left unspoken. Could be like the ancient tower or maybe no one power at all idk.

the reapers coming to make nearly all life extinct?
ah yes, "the reapers". sorry honey, I don't believe that nonsense. not screwed at all. life's pretty good in this universe.

Geoguessr.
Ok.
- Is it fictional tho?
- Dementia simulator
