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 - might as well guarantee a first world country.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not guaranteed you'll be a Kiwi.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you have something against Australia, lol?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nah. Those cunts know a joke when they see it.

They have sex with sheep over there I seen em with my own eyes.

I like G. I've always wanted to be a deep sea creature.

[–] fading_person@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

People around here seem so scared of south america. It's mostly a nice place to live.

The levels of inequality are like nothing in the developed world, and you're probably not going to be one of the rich people.

Maybe you can be safe, but you're gong to have limited opportunity. Same story as part E really.

I'm at a loss for options...

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.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 3 points 6 days ago

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

I wouldn't really consider the others

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

B and hope I get a Central America spawn.

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sorry I didn’t pay enough attention. Central America isn’t even a possibility. I’ll just abstain from voting, as I don’t have much of an interest in going anywhere else atp.

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The way I'm reading it, A would be the whole quadrant and B would just be that specific stripe. I don't know if A includes B, or excludes it though. I also can't tell if the stripes are just that specific box, or the entirety of the countries that fall partway in the box; is B just that rectangle or all of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico?

"A" would be your pick, but the odds aren't great.

Anywhere in the sub-arctic

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I would like to be in whichever bracket has the highest standard of living relative to the lowest working hours per capita.

K seems like the "safest" option.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Congratulations, you do not exist (New Zealand is a lie created by Big Map to sell more ink).

K is the only area you're guaranteed to be born into a first world country, therefore giving you better passport privilege to move where you want to go if you don't like it.

K is honestly the only truly safe option.
