You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do? Why?

Nothing. Your brain would shrink accordingly and you wouldn't be able to do more than lie there and twitch until you became burger meat.

If everything were to shrink proportionally, then each individual cell constructing your brain would shrink too. You would have no more or less brain, everything is just on a smaller scale?

I would lie down, the blades could not reach me, if you are speaking of just a conventional blender. Nickel height of standing would allow you to miss the blades altogether .
