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?

B I need access to Mexican food

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Well considering my political proclivities E is a pretty solid choice. Just praying I don't get myanmar or Cambodia

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

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you a big fan of Mexico?

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Bigger fan than most of the other options that was presented.

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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).

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

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are some inhabited islands in g

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

[–] Jhogenbaum@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago

Probably higher birthrate than the Antarctic

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

Can't tell if D or E has a higher percentage of land, but your odds of being born in the water are high for G.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

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).

No risk of being born in water.

D and E has higher percentage of combat zones, so maybe not the best option.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

otoh E contains active warzone and D two of them or more, depending on how you count

In order of preference: K,B,H,A,G,E,F,C,I,J,D

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I choose I. Why? I-C-E-D. Free? Yessiree. Cold and totally bold. Aloned and totally stoned.

I is the place to be. I is the place for me. High is the state of me. I choose I.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 2 points 1 week ago

I'd pick E if I'd land in Thailand. H would be a close second.

K is out of the question with my arachnophobia.

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Feels like B, because it would be the easiest to migrate back to Europe. Technically that is also true for K but you are crazy if you think I am going to the land of biological horrors even for a few days, let alone few years.

G as first choice, J is a close second.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"I" would include antartica and subantartic islands?

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Based on the rules, picking I would place you somewhere in Africa.
