If you watched the videotape from The Ring and then showed it to someone else to transfer the curse to them but they died of unrelated causes before their 7 days was up, would the ghost simply shrug and not kill anyone or would the curse revert back to you? Asking for a friend.
And if the curse did revert back to you, would you have 7 days from when you first watched the tape, 7 days from when your patsy watched the tape, or 7 days from when your patsy died and the curse reverted back to you? Asking for a different friend.
And if the curse did revert back to you, could you transfer it again by showing the video to someone new or does everyone only get one transfer? Asking for the first friend.
If everyone in the world watched the tape from The Ring at exactly the same time, would everyone also die at the same time or would the ghost have to come for humanity one at a time and if so, how would she choose the order? Proximity? Blink rate while watching the video?
What would happen if a robot that passed the Turing Test watched the videotape from The Ring? Does the curse solely require sentience or does it only work on biological entities? What if a dolphin watched it?
What would happen if a vampire watched the videotape from The Ring? Would the ghost tailor the method of death to kill the undead or would the ghost spend the rest of eternity trying to give a vampire a heart attack? Or would she give up eventually? How commited is she?
What would happen if you watched the videotape from The Ring and immediately had all of the memory cells you have of the tape surgically removed and transplanted into someone else's head? Would the ghost come for you or for the person who has the memories of watching? Or both?
Can the ghost from The Ring find astronauts? What's her range? What if you watched the videotape then got into a spaceship and moved away from Earth at the speed of light? Can she travel FTL? And would it be after 7 days for her or for you? How does relativity play into this?
What if you were cryogenically frozen after watching the videotape from The Ring? Would that be dead enough for the ghost or would she wait for you to be thawed? Could she kill others who watched the tape in the meantime or would waiting for you also put her in a type of stasis?
What if the videotape from The Ring was playing, fully visible and in its entirety, in the background of a porno? Would everyone who watched the porno die? What about the actors, who never do more than glance at it? How much attention, exactly, does the curse require to activate?
What if the videotape from The Ring was made into dozens of 10 second GIFs? How many of the GIFs would someone need to watch to activate the curse? What if every human figure in it was replaced with a poop emoji? Would it still be cursed? Or cursed in a very different way?
Really makes you think.
