My co-worker: Let me know if you have any questions.
Me: Oh, I have tons! First: would you rather be able to turn people into frogs, or frogs into people?
@bitecode Neither are reversible. The human is a normal human with memories of being a frog and no other memories. They have the equivalent human characteristics relative to the human population that they had relative to the frog population, so if they are a particularly smart frog, they will be a particularly smart human.
They do not know human languages or culture, but they can learn these things.
@pganssle then frogs into humans: this will make space colonization wayyyyy easier
@pganssle This is a great question.
I wrote a tiny short story in the late 2000s about a town where lying turned the liar into a frog. I do not remember how things turned out.
@pganssle A true test of character. Does the newly human frog is human intelligent and can speak, or is it just a froggy human? Is it reversible? Can you chose the type of frog? The size of the frog? Can you do many at once? Is there a distance limit?
It's a very important frog deal, I'd rather have all the infos.
