A genie curses you to veganism. This will make you literally unable to eat anything that you reasonably believe to have been made with animal products. He takes pity on you though and allows you to keep eating one type of food.

You are a voter in Nazi Germany during the 1940s. Amazingly, it still holds democratic elections during this time.

Candidate A, if elected, will exterminate 12 million people in death camps. Candidate B, if elected, will exterminate 11 million people in death camps. There are third parties that advocate that there be no genocide at all, but they stand no chance of winning the election due to their tiny size and voter base.

You are anti-genocide. You are repeatedly told by people and media that you must vote for Candidate B because _“if you dislike genocide, then how could it be better to vote for Candidate A? Candidate A would only do even more genocide. And if you vote third party or abstain from voting, then that’s a de facto vote for Candidate A. The only morally correct choice is to vote for Candidate B.”_

You see a lavish mansion that is for sale at a strangely cheap price. You ask the owner why they’re selling so low and it turns out the house is infested with thousands of big spiders. Not wanting to “nuke it from orbit,” the owner is selling instead. The spiders are all of the Nephila, Argiope, Sparassidae or Lycosidae variety - scary but harmless.

Assuming you have the funds to purchase and you cannot use an exterminating service or anyone else (you must get all the spiders out of the house manually by yourself,) do you purchase the house to live in or sell for profit?
