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 Typical footwear worn by someone who's among the 10% poorest on the planet, used for about a year.

(Hopefully that would help me weed out the ones with dystopian levels of poverty, at least. (Like our own.) Although I would probably get nothing from the non-materialistic paradise with nice climate.)

@futurebird @hildeaustlid Plantland must be a non-materialistic paradise with nice climate, then.

@aburka @futurebird Yes, in hindsight I should have asked for a typical meal eaten by the poorest 10% instead :/

@aburka @hildeaustlid @futurebird plants don't use shoes...

@futurebird I'll go with the leather boots, then. (Although I changed my mind and edited the post, so now I don't know if you answered my first question of median income footwear or the second with poor people footwear.)
