Rain, from clouds? Whaha hilarious, who made you believe that?. Everyone knows rain comes from God having her period.

Actually, if you look at a bottle of water, it has a picture of a mountain on it. And the hypothetical specifically says only mountains will be above water. Coincidence? I think not! Wake up sheeple, the water conspiracy is the mountains' fault!

New hypothetical. In each of five locations(the United States, Brazil, Cuba, Australia, Antartica), portals 10 feet tall and wide open to locations in a life-supporting alien world about 1.2 times the size of earth. Yes, it can support human life. Within a week of each portal opening, at least one person notices them and puts the location on the internet(except Antartica, which takes 3 months). What happens?

Plot twist one: The new planet is inhabited by a few thousand sentient beings, the last survivors of their civilization. Apparently, the civilization opened the portals accidentally and the societal panic destroyed their society.

Plot twist two: Some of the fruit that grows in the alien world is of a quality Earth has never seen.

We 100% kill each other over who gets the best fruit, but only after we kill the remaining natives.

But what if the natives are even tastier than the fruit?

New hypothetical.

You can gain one fictional item of your choice, provided it is in a book and the item can fit through the book it's in. What would you choose?

Well, we could put two and two together and write a book: "The Shit that Hans and Max Did: You Won't Believe This Shit."

Mind controls you. Congrats, you're now a thrall of Sauron who's trying to use you to figure out how to get into your universe.

Or at least I think that's how it works.

Slightly abusing the meaning of "book", I grab the master sword from an artbook that came with a special edition of some zelda game, and use it to slay the evil that Hans just brought into the world.

A Wand of Wishing from Nethack's user manual. With one wish reserved for a blessed scroll of charging, I'm left with 4-6 wishes to follow the usual guidelines for Nethack-style wishes. I'll have all of the items other people mentioned above, thank you very much, unless I can come up with something better.

Thinking small:

A handgun.

They always hollow out books for that sort of thing in spy flicks, right?
