I found an extremely bizarre internet survey

Everybody knows that if you want a quick influx of easy cash, you can go on one of those survey websites and just fill them out for a few hours. It won’t get you much, but it’s enough if you're desperate. I wasn’t desperate, but my girlfriend was, and she was the one who directed me to the site.<br><br>It was one of those normal survey websites, the kind where they ask you for personal information and then you take the surveys and get paid for it. I already knew my girlfriend wasn’t going to get much, but hey, at least it was something. <br><br>The reason I bring it up at all was because I looked at the surveys she had already taken and noticed something odd. Surveys were usually things like “What’s your favorite shoe brand?” or “Would you rather watch TV or go to the movies?”, but these weren’t. One of them had asked her something about aliens, and another about whether she’d rather watch a documentary on the Deep Sea or one on Space Exploration.<br><br>“None of the surveys I’ve taken have been normal.” She replied. “They’re all off-topic questions about weird random stuff.”<br><br>I shrugged. “Guess it’s just some college student or something doing his own private research.”<br><br>But I was wrong. After all, why would a college student pay people for it?<br><br>I decided to take a look around the website, and after a few minutes, found something even weirder. <br><br>I noticed there were numerous surveys that I couldn’t access without some sort of passcode. My girlfriend tried to press the “Take” button on one of them but it didn’t bring her to the survey, it brought her to a page asking for a passcode. I tried doing the same on different ones and had no luck.<br><br>There were at least 50 locked surveys, all with the same passcode box. I was too intrigued at this point to not try and get into one of them. I decided to go to the “Contact” tab and shoot them an email about it. I asked about what these secret surveys were and whether it was possible for me to get the passcode. <br><br>To my surprise, they replied less than 24 hours later. <br><br>Dear (My Email)<br><br>Thank you for visiting SurveysforCash. We appreciate you using our website to take our surveys and hope you continue to do so. We are aware that you discovered the passcode locked surveys, and this is the reason for our email. If you wish to take these locked surveys, we are happy to send you the passcode. However, we must make you aware that there is a possibility these surveys contain disturbing content, and you may end up regretting that you took them. If you are still interested, please reply back with the name of the survey you wish to take.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>SurveysforCash<br><br>I stared blankly at the email before looking over at my girlfriend. “Look at this,” I said.<br><br>She read through it silently, and when she was finished, she looked at me. “Is it legitimate, do you think?”<br><br>I shrugged. “I don’t know. But I’m going to find out.”<br><br>I replied to the email asking for the passcode to all of the locked surveys. I got no reply, but when I went to the website, there was a new tab next to the “Contact” and “Surveys” tabs simply called, “Passcodes”. <br><br>When I clicked on it, I found a table with the name of each survey in one column, and the passcode for it in the other. I scrolled through them, some of which stood out to me. <br><br>There were the normal “Would you rather” ones, but then there were the ones like these:<br><br>*“What would you do if you discovered a door in your house that you don’t remember seeing before?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you found a tunnel leading into your backyard that extended far enough that you couldn’t see the end of it?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you woke up one morning and found that your teeth had turned into razor-sharp knives?”<br><br>*“Would you live the rest of your life in a mansion with no other inhabitants other than yourself, but never be allowed to leave it?”<br><br>*“If you knew that every time you turned off a light, you were condemning a man to starve for a month, would you still turn it off?”<br><br>*“Which big cat would you prefer to have as a pet: Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Jaguar, or Cheetah?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you woke up to find out that your body had turned into that of a completely different species of animal?”<br><br>*“Which method of execution would you prefer to be executed with: Hanging, Gas Chamber, Lethal Injection, Electric Chair, Firing Squad, Beheading, or Drowning?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you found a website that allowed you to pay to have anyone you want murdered, other than yourself?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to never have to pay for food again, but you were never allowed to eat in front of anyone else, would you take the offer?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you woke up and found that your reflection was watching you?”<br><br>*“If you could never be outside in the daytime again for the rest of your life, but you could freely roam outside at nighttime, would you take the offer?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you discovered that there was a place in which you could pay to spend 24 hours in the body of any animal of your choice, other than a human?”<br><br>*“Would you spend 24 hours in a room filled with loose spaghetti if you got $150?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you woke up to find that your feet had turned into balloons?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you found a website went you could pay for a man to follow you around all day?”<br><br>*“Would you rather watch a 24-hour documentary on the Deep Sea or one on Space Exploration?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you found out that you had a ghost living in your house?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to live the rest of your life in the Stone Age, but you could never leave the Stone Age again, would you take the offer?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you found a tunnel in your basement that you had never noticed before?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you went outside one day and found that there were no birds?”<br><br>*“If given the option, which species of Big Cat would you rather be: Lion, Leopard, Tiger, Jaguar, or Cheetah?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you discovered that you had a clone?”<br><br>*“Would you watch a 3-hour video of a man eating breakfast for $250?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you discovered that your house was located somewhere other than where you thought it was?”<br><br>*“If you discovered that there was something wrong with you, but nobody would tell you what it is, how would you react?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to live the rest of your life in Ancient Egypt, but you could never leave Ancient Egypt again, would you take the offer?”<br><br>*“Would you never be allowed to look at yourself in a mirror again for the rest of your life if it meant you never had to work again?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you woke up one morning and discovered that you had amnesia?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you found a key in your house, but had no idea what door it unlocked?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to live the rest of your life in the Crusades, but you could never leave the Crusades again, would you take the offer?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you discovered that you were living in a simulation?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you looked up at the sky one day and found that all of the stars and planets had disappeared?”<br><br>*“Would you rather live in a world in which humans have made alien contact or one in which humans have made contact with in-planet species?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you woke up and found that you had no veins?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to live the rest of your life in the Wild West, but you could never leave the Wild West again, would you take the offer?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to switch bodies with someone for only 24-hours, who would you pick?”<br><br>*“Would you spend 24 hours in a room filled with water if you got $200?”<br><br>*“How would you react if you woke up and discovered that you had grown a tail?”<br><br>*“What would you do if you found a portal in your house that you had never seen before?”<br><br>*“If you discovered that you were the last human left on Earth, but there was an easy way for you to bring the human race back, how would you react?”<br><br>*“Would you spend 24 hours

morning and discovered that you had no legs?”<br><br>*“If you were given the option to live the rest of your life in Ancient Greece, but you could never leave Ancient Greece again, would you take the
