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?

Bottle of craft beer.

Will include insights into language and culture from the label. Isotope ratios will give an idea of local stellar conditions / age of that universe etc.

Most importantly, traces of yeast will indicate if DNA has the same right-handed twist as in our universe, and whether the chirality of the amino acids in the proteins is the same as ours. (Getting this last lot wrong could result in a cruel, horrible starvation...)

@coprolite9000 @futurebird I like your thinking.
