Parallel universes are real! You shall be sent to live in one... forever.

You will get a choice between 5 universes that each have a similar collection of languages though technology & culture may be very, possibly hazardously, different.

To make your choice you may request one (1) kind of typical artifact. This will be fetched from each universe, you may compare to make your choice.

Electronics will be disabled. If the artifact doesn't exist... you get nothing.

What do you request?

@futurebird Printing press/moveable type

@SRLevine

You receive:

Universe A: Nothing
Universe B: A pocket-size clockwork device that prints as it travels over the paper like a wind-up car
Universe C: Nothing
Universe D: Some kind of plant.
Universe E: Something clearly taken from a museum. Very dusty and unused, tags indicating the names of various parts.

@futurebird

It's a close call between steampunk and awesome plants do wild things, but let's be real I'm a chemist and the odds of my finding a mad scientist's laboratory to shelter in are much higher in B than in D.

E sounds like bad new bears, since if no one is even using them for art any more...

@futurebird @SRLevine Are the tags hand-written, typed, or printed?
