There is nothing like a hypothetical question to figure out who amongst us is selfish and who is caring. Some of you are far greater individuals than I would be in this situation. But then again, this is all incredibly theoretical. For instance, let's give a warm shoutout to the Redditor who said they would buy up vacant hotels and convert them into affordable housing. Perhaps if I became the richest person in the world, that would be the second or third thought that would cross my mind. Unfortunately, I am perhaps more like the other person who said they would purchase their ultimate dream car or a quality meat thermometer. Of course, upon further reflection, I would like to do something beneficial for society, but my very first impulse would probably be the buy myself a nice dinner first. 

Keep scrolling below to see what these folks said their first big purchase would be. When you're finished, feel free to take a look at this collection of the greatest movie openings of all time, according to FAIL Blog fans.

    nerdyface40 Land- Then Build senior's residences on it to look like a village and fence it in for safety. 19 hr. ago Everyone's suite has a front porch and a garden to water. They feel private and give the resident the idea of independence but they all connect through a rear corridor and secret door at the back for regular staff to enter and do laundry, administer meds.. etc. Staff are properly trained, well rested and adequately paid and families can visit as often as they like.

    isthatayeti 19 hr. ago I would choose a place in the world and fix it. Provide it with infrastructure, clean water etc. See if I could turn it into a sustainable growing place. A giant human experiment to see if you created and attempted to govern and run something purely altruistically. Could you change the mindset of the people and build something truly unique. Provide real opportunities for education and balanced life etc.
