Hypothetical: Get reincarnated here.

[Rain Man]

Just for fun, I've been dividing the world up into regions, and just finished last night. I divided the world into 16,789 regions based on states, provinces, communities, islands, arrondissements, or whatever else happened to be handy.

I didn't know what to do with it, so I created a reincarnation simulator. Sign up here and learn about your next life in advance. I'll give you:

Gender: (Male or Female)
Intelligence: 1 to 100, with 100 as the top
Attractiveness: 1 to 100, with 100 as the top
Economic Status: 1 to 100, with 100 as the top
Nation of Future Birth
Region of Future Birth
Population of that Region (which is somewhat useless since the boundaries are generally manmade, but hey, I've got it)

All statuses are relative to the region that you're in, not the world. So if you draw a 50 on economic status and you're born in the Badghis regions of Afghanistan, that means that you're at the median status of Badghis residents.

Sign up below if you're interested in the early release of your next life. I'll do three reincarnations per day, with the goal that we can discuss and decide which of the three has the best future fate awaiting them. Feel free to post pictures, maps, or descriptions of the reincarnated person's life as you see it.

So sign up below and we'll do the first three today.


Methodology: All figures are random. The probability of being born into a particular region is based on the population of that region.

I considered even doing some sort of different draw based purely on number of regions, because I didn't want it to get boring if we had too many Chinese and Indians. I've got a pure random draw by region set up as well, but I thought accuracy would be interesting.

I'm still surprised by how many inland Chinese we've had. I kind of envision that country as being really crowded on the coasts, but there are enormous inland regions in terms of population. That's been a learning event for me.

Yeah, well, if you cloned EVERY man, woman and child in teh United States, and then cloned ALL of them (including the new clones just made) again, you'd still have fewer people here in China, so...

(which is a convoluted way of saying they have 4x more people than we do, which is a f'n lot!)

Just checking in. Not that I mind being dead, mind you. Haunting people is fun. Just looking forward to seeing who I'll end up being after getting out of purgatory. That is how it works, right?

I'm doing four per day to build suspense and/or encourage dialogue. You'll be dying in due turn.

No problemo.

Gee, this is one of those that I have no idea how to interpret. She's probably in the ruling class given the relative wealth, but this is kind of a rural place in Uzbekistan. Definitely a bigger fish in a smaller pond.

How are women treated here? I have no idea. It may be the best situation we've seen today, but ... I'm not sure. I can't even figure out what a residential neighborhood looks like.

Apparently there's nice fruit there:

Well, I'll take it. It beats sucking shit through a straw

I wouldn't assume that pointer owns a straw.

We start today's reincarnations with threebag02, who will presumably become fourbag03 in his next life.

He is destined to become the president of Pakistan, apparently.

Gender Male

You're probably the world's most handsome fishmonger.

Dr. Pepper continues today's Pakistan theme as the counterpart to threebag, and the weird thing is that they only live about 15 miles apart. He can potentially help finance threebag's start in politics.

I suspect that Dr. Pepper even owns a car.

Methinks threebag's wealth skyrockets when he hits adulthood with an intelligence of 99 and looks of 98. That might even be good enough to bag himself a Kardashian.

You're in a northern coastal region of Spain right on the French border, a nice girl who's a good catch. You don't live on the coast, but you're still in a nice neighborhood like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.3059...7i13312!8i6656

He's definitely a catch. I hope they don't do arranged marriages in Pakistan, because that would be an injustice to him.

Indian Chief will no longer be Indian, though it's a similar latitude.

He'll be the guy you enjoy hanging out with at the call center you work at. Bright guy, and he doesn't overshadow anyone in the looks department.

He lives in a neighborhood that's not fancy, something like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@8.65371...7i13312!8i6656 But he's got nice beach access on his days off.

You're not very bright, but you're good looking and probably own your own motorcycle, so I bet you attract a lot of long-necked Burmese chicks.
