I wanted to say Freddy, because 24 hours without sleep would be easy-peasy. ...then I realized Im not a teenageer anymore and would probably take a nap anyways.

    Yeah it's early afternoon here and I just realized that I someone told me I had to stay awake for the next 24 hours, I wouldn't make it.

    Actually physically addicted? Probably not. And you'd only need one, maybe two hits (assuming oral consumption, not smoked or IV) spread out over your 24 hours to get through it. However, the euphoric rush from the Meth would be pretty intense (the dopamine release is 5x-10x that of Adderall) and most of the dangers are from chronic use, so if you're the kind of person who's prone to risk-taking, it's possible you could wind up rationalizing the risks away and continuing to use it, and wind up truly addicted down the road. This is basically the route most addicts take. There aren't any substances that are so addictive that one use gets you physically hooked.

    It might be especially easy to fall down this path if you're now a multi-billionaire and no longer have a need to work and thus need to find something new to occupy your time.

    This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote

    "Unarmed and/or "innocent" beings may be hunted if they:

    Are the specific objective of a hunt."
    

    Sorry Op, you're still screwed.

    Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.

    The Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park because first of all, I'm actually pretty sure I'd be fine so long as I can get in my car and drive away at a reasonable pace. Secondly, just think of the absolutely incredible collateral damage. Even if I get killed, it would be one of the most talked-about and confusing incidents in American history for the rest of time.

    Freddy Kruger, as long as I have prep time. Get a good night sleep the night before? Staying awake for 24 hours is pretty trivial. I can get up at 6 one morning and stay up til 6 the next morning. I'm willing to screw my sleep cycle up for a few days in exchange for 3 billion dollars.

  • You do not understand how addiction works. I... Kinda understand kinda don't.

    But sometimes, sometimes drugs really are the solution, and if you cant get your hands on modafinil, I think 'survive freddy kreuger for 24 hours' is one of those times.

    The us air force kits in vietnam, for crashed pilots? They followed a similar logic.

    Obviously Freddy Krueger. Just stay awake 24 hours. The really difficulty is when you can't stay awake and you accidentally fall asleep. But I think staying awake 24 hours is pretty easy.

    Sadako. Her curse takes 7 days to take effect, assuming it's gone once 24 hours are up. Else, Jaws can't get you if you're nowhere close to the sea.

    So theres a lot in the books that never comes up in the film. She can impregnate you and make you give birth to a clone of her.

    No, the pregnancy is accelerated, but I think it takes longr than a day, but it might be faster in some circumstances. Even if you get 3 billion dollars, it doesnt really matter if you're going to die giving birth to a hermaphroditic hybrid of homosapian and smallpox days later.

    As far as mpreg goes; we dont know. Do you want to take that risk?

    Prompt says you're being chased but nothing about the quality of the chase. I like the image of the predator being obligated to chase them but feeling kind of ashamed of it so they don't really want to get the kill.

    Hunted: '*puff, wheeze* Just... gotta... get to the top... of the hill.' Predator: *walks calmly up to just behind the hunted and makes a predator noise, then sits to wait for them to scramble the rest of the way up while the predator plays space-solitaire*

    The predator does not kill children or pregnant women. Predator 2 showed that. A kid with a toy UZI spotted the predator with his light bending and as a precaution the predator armed his shoulder cannon, but upon sensing it was not a real gun he disarmed it.

    Also the subway showed he found a fetus developing in a woman and immediately released her.

    I'd go with Hopper from A Bug's Life. I'm sure he's a huge threat to Dave Foley and Julia Louse-Dreyfus, but I ain't worried about no grasshopper, even one voiced by Kevin Spacey.

    Absolutely a Yautja (Predator). Pretty sure short middle-aged pudgy women who'd curl into a sad ball on the floor when threatened would be the most dishonorable kills ever. He might even be forced to off himself in shame for that lol

    But if they're chasing you for 24 hrs then you may have pissed it off. It wouldn't be for a trophy at that point but just because it doesn't like you, so it's probably going to be more painful.

    Specifically chasing for 24 hours... So, any of the antagonists that require planning, or are infirmed ... Or both?

    John Kramer, the jigsaw killer. Bitch has terminal brain cancer and is in a wheelchair most of the time. I don't think he could come up with a jigsaw plan, kidnap and execute it in that much time.

    I was also going to say the SAW guy, but for different reasons:

    John only targets people who he knows, who morally disgust him, or people who have personally made his own life considerably worse, or slighted him in some way.

    ...

    If the scenario is... I have to survive 24 hours without being targetted by one of his kidnapping and torture plots...

    Well, I do not have any deep, hidden secrets, I do not deny any part of my past to anyone willing to ask about it, I do not pretend to be something I am not. I have of course made mistakes, but they've never ruined any one's life, and I freely admit and take responsibility for them.

    Frankly, given my considerably traumatic life thus far, and my current status of... being crippled, doing not much beyond PT and lemmyposting all day, untill I finish recovery... and given that I have actually made friends out of actual, diagnosed sociopaths before...

    I really do not think I would be the kind of person John would have any problem with.

    ...

    If the scenario was just poof, both of us appear in a room and are both there for 24 hrs... we just... talk? Trauma bond over our fucked up lives?

    John has, more than once, recruited into his schemes people who... pass his tests, whom he does not find morally abhorent.

    I don't have to agree with him on every single issue, I mostly just have to not be a hypocrite, and not intentionally try to offend or harm him.

    ...

    Oh right, given that I have actually been held captive by a fentanyl addled mad man, for a week, and managed to talk my way into letting me leave... and then stumble over to a nearby firestation and tell them to call the police...

    If I have actually survived a week of a very similar situation, I think I can survive just 24 hrs with a fictional character, who has a much, much more consistent, albeit still fucked up worldview.

    I mean yeah, he is not perfectly consistent nor 'reasonable', and... some nonsense plot inconsistencies/holes begin to crop up as the entire series keeps going.

    That being said: I'm not saying I'm 100% guaranteed to be safe.

    I'm saying I think I have pretty good odds, and thus so would a lot of other people who are self-aware and contemplativr enough to not be massive moral hypocrites, or in denial of or hiding some horrible secret in their past.

    I mean it would be easy to choose somebody like Professor Moriarty. Assuming they didn’t gain instant knowledge of how to navigate the 21st century and/or you didn’t have to spend the 24 hours in their time/universe.

    Professor Moriarty would also likely be disinterested in actually coming after you. He only targeted Holmes because Holmes kept uncovering his criminal plans. He began to see Holmes as a roadblock, and was continuously frustrated by Holmes’ investigative abilities. As long as you weren’t in Moriarty’s way and didn’t have anything to offer him, he likely wouldn’t care about you. After all, his public image was that of a respected scholar. You’d be a little fish in a very big pond, and Moriarty was smart enough to recognize that going after you would net him nothing in return.

    Fine. Hop in a car, and get on the nearest highway. Every time you come to a fork, roll a die to see which direction you go. 24 hours is a long time to drive, but not impossible. And assuming a truly random path, he’d have no hope of predicting where you were going to try and head you off. Hell, stop over and rent a new car whenever you’re running low on gas, just to make things even more confusing; You’re about to win $3B, so what is a few hundred dollars in rental car fees?

    Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.

    If you go by the early versions he is limited by his physical doll-form. He can't fly, teleport, drive, etc. and he's not really that strong, or fast.

    If you knew about him and that he was coming after you, it shouldn't be that difficult.

    The Refregirator (yeah, it's a thing: https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt0102767/), It's a haunted / gate of hell fridge attacking a couple who just moved in a shitty appartment. Even if you unplug it, it still tries to eat you or send his minions (toaster, blender...) so I'll surely die horribly but I'm all for fighting against electric appliances.
