You hold the fate of a complete stranger in your hands
Here's a question for the forum. (I do not mean this as a philosophy question, just as a What do you feel like doing? question)
There's a stranger, in another part of the world, who you will never meet, whose life will never affect yours in any way. You have the power to determine whether his breakfast will be burnt this morning. No good nor bad will come out of his breakfast being burnt, except for his/her negative emotions about the matter (which won't be transferred to anyone else). Afterwards you will instantly forget what decision you made. Do you burn his breakfast or not?
