I challenge the devil to end world hunger forever. First one to feed the world wins.
I suppose there could be some monkey paw-esque shenanigans killing billions, but at this point we might as well let a non-human cosmic being do it.
If he feeds everyone great, if he kills a ton of people at least the climate crisis is sorted and thousands if not millions of animal species are saved. I avoid the moral implications since the intent was to feed people and the devil picked the evilnest option. But honestly I think they would just solve world hunger a more normal way.
Just one catch: the reason we have world hunger is not the number of people or a shortage of food. It’s just politics, power abuse and warfare. Unless those dynamics change we could be a tenth of the current world population and still have famine.
Politics has a part in it, but over population is the main cause (can’t be hungry if you were never born).
If the devil kills half the people and feeds them to the other half that would fulfill the contract. If he just leaves 3.5 billion corpses laying around that would be a disaster.
There’s enough food in the world to feed every person currently alive. So I don’t think it makes sense to say that the cause of world hunger is that there are too many people.

It’s logistics. If the food isn’t where the people are and they can’t get the food to where they are then there isn’t enough food.
I’m sure the devil can change those dynamics
Oh I’m aware, but we’re talking about the devil here.
