Money to travel and a best friend to share every adventure with. I don’t care if that makes me a hopeless romantic.

Money to travel and a best friend to share every adventure with. I don’t care if that makes me a hopeless romantic.
ZebAsiz
3 and 6. Love and financial security? Yes please!
Violaquin
I’m taking 3 and 9 then traveling the world.
IgnisInvictus
Is number 2 a one time only deal?
Because 2 unlimited, and 4 would be kinda awesome.
MoopsyLD
1 and 2. Use number 2 to gain wealth through a myriad of ways. if its not repeatable then switch to 1 and 3. Next, Hire the people who chose 4 and 9. this would prove to be powerful for past and future language IE aliens. then have them teach me what im able to learn. Next hire the person who chose number 5 to bring various scientists and influential figures that would help me in future indeavors. if only i get to choose then 1 and 2 if repeatable or 1 and 3 like above.
IHaveAGuyForEverything
Same. 6 & 3

3 & 4
StabbyMcMurder
3&4. 2 would be great but with 3 I can come close to that.

1 & 2 I'd make myself about 25 again then travel inside as many bank vaults as I could. Wouldn't need the million yearly then. Tbh wouldn't need to worry about getting caught either. I'd just travel somewhere else and if I never age nobody is gonna recognise me after 25 years in another country and I reappear without having aged a day. I'd be like Dracula but without the garlic/daylight/holy water allergies and without the bloodsucking.

Me, with a chronic medical condition - fuk.

At least with unlimited plastic surgery, they can give you a constant smile to mask your 24/7 pain.
SithElephant
Also, unlimited plastic surgery would be great to raise funding way. way beyond $1M/year for research. No pain, at least, so there's that.
Cry4Night
3&6

I guess 1 and 3. I've already got my soul mate, I am a homebody who's good enough with languages already, wouldn't need plastic surgery if I stay young forever. I have someone I'd like to bring back from the past but it seems like there is no way that doesn't end badly.
Malibloo
If 2 is repeatable, then 1 and 2 means you're practically a god. Immortality and the ability to teleport anywhere at any time? Sign me up.
RuffleMyFluffles
#2 is too vague, what if you can't bring anything with you or there's a cooldown time.
Malibloo
It doesn't specify that, though.
Layinginbed
3 & 5. How has only one other commenter picked 5??
kyzentun
Any capsule you don't pick, you get the opposite of.
sometimesarobot
So if you don't pick 4 and 9 you lose the ability to understand speech and read?
kyzentun
Better choose wisely.
sometimesarobot
Would that be forever or could I re-learn how to read?
ExplodingPortaPotty
1 and 2 seems like the no brainer. With those two you can potentially achieve most of the others. Want money? Teleport into a bank vault. Understand any spoken or written language? You are immortal and you can teleport anywhere given enough time and travel you can do both. Want plastic surgery? See bank robbing. Find and marry your soul mate? With enough time and teleportation you will eventually find and marry them. Only thing 1&2 can't achieve is the time travel one.
SomeDetroitGuy
2 is phrased pretty clearly as a one-time deal.
ExplodingPortaPotty
It is not in anyway phrased clearly. A cursory glance at the rest of the comments would also support that many people are unsure of how it is intended to work.
DigitalDruid255
4 & 9
austinwizardforhire
1 & 2 is tempting or would have been if I didn't have a family.
ilovebigmutts
3 and 6. Mil a year and my soul mate. Sign me up.
alloutofmondays
1 and 3.
Only logical choice, considering 1 million a year and being functionally immortal would allow you to do the majority of the rest.
Teganrose1
1 and 9. Unlike 4, 9 has the potential to revive dead languages, and translators make good money
MaddogDelphi1997
1 and 3. Though 5 seems tempting.
Badgerbadgerson3
Agreed, 6 and 3. If I had to choose just one, 6.
BishopHastur
2 & 4
Ulthirm
1 is pretty tempting over 3 if you think in the super long range altho I'd still wish for the ability to eventually die?
Ulthirm
oh its 2 capsules, then who wouldn't pick 1 and 3?
sometimesarobot
1 and 9
Think of all the historical stuff you could do, just make money off that.
Idontspellcheck
With my luck the million dollars wouls come in pennies.
Trifone48
who goes with unlimited plastic surgery over become any age permanently?
Teganrose1
It might be tempting depending on where you live in the world. South Korea for example has a lot of plastic surgery happening
moonshadowkati
I guess, someone who was not physically attractive at any age but really really desires to be?
ItsActuallyDavidNow
With a permanent age and a million dollars a year, they can get that taken care of.
moonshadowkati
Very true.
TalleyZorah
Someone who doesn't wish to outlive their loved ones.
q2grapple
That cat guy from years ago
ClownishAntics
Just ask for the age in cat years
Coolulder
1 and 3. Live like a vampire, away from people out in the wilderness. Able to study language to speak and read any over time. With that and the money, I could travel where I want. Even afford surgery, if I really wanted but see no need.

smax410
Yeah, I read it wrong and those were the two I was debating between. You can basically get everything else if you desire it with those tools.
OddlyPacific
2 is better than 3 because it allows you to get more money.
smax410
Not really. You’d need to be stealing things. You also need to be fencing/money laundering. Criminal activity attracts attention. Or you need to be working as some sort of courier. Which I don’t want to be working. Eventually someone figures out your shit. From 1, you aren’t immortal, you just don’t age. So you end up permanently a fugitive or worse. You end up in prison. Where they definitely figure your shit out. Now your only option is to pretend you’re a god. I don’t wanna deal with that.
OddlyPacific
Intellectual property theft can be lucrative if you have supernatural powers.
Malibloo
3 is generally a bad idea. If either the dollar crashes, or massive inflation hits, which is extremely likely when you're immortal, it'll be useless.
SandpaperCock
I mean, that depends mostly on if it's the equivalent purchasing power or if it's a literal million dollars. Even so, with a few years of collecting you'll have built up enough generational wealth (in tangible forms like property and means of production, perhaps some less volatile valuables like gold as well) so you should still be more or less fine even if the rest of it is a trickle. I'm not sure it's lower value than the others (aside from 1. which is absurdly more valuable than the rest)
notinterestednow
It didn’t say immortal. Just the same age forever. Death can come at any age. Bus-kun, rona-kun you are still in danger
Malibloo
Not really. Permanent age would imply unending regeneration of healthy cells, as aging means that's not happening. Even limbs would likely grow back. Only real way to die is decapitation or evisceration.
SandpaperCock
Ah but it does imply biological immortality (cannot die from health complications due to advanced age), realistically you can't cheat death forever but getting a few hundred extra years out (if not significantly more) is entirely doable if you live smartly and get a little bit lucky.
