Do you press the button?

[Zombine]

You are presented with a one time opportunity to press a button. One will happen at random:

1. You are given $1,000,002
2. A loved one will die
3. You will die immediately
4. A random evil person will die
5. Someone close to you that is sick will be cured
6. You find true love
7. You get a free PS5/XSX/GTX 3090 of your choice
   
   Do you press the button?

 

[Septimus Prime]

Sorry, I already play a gacha and won't play two at the same time.

 

[Kyuuji]

I eat the button and ask what now?

 

[mjc]

Nope, just under a 50% chance of something bad happening is still too high.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

A 3 out of 5 chance of killing someone including myself?

NOPE!

 

[Ferrio]

We talking $1000? If so, hell no. If it's 100,000 the answer is still hell no.

 

[taco543]

im the only one that would lol

 

[Lant_War]

No. Maybe if it was 1 billion dollars and the option of me dying was removed.

 

[Max|Payne]

Nah, I'll just keep playing the lottery instead, tyvm.

 

[julia crawford]

BONK

 

[Zombine]

Will die when?

Immediately

 

[Walter White Walker]

At 60% good thing versus 40% bad thing, no because the odds aren't that good.

 

[FossilMoth]

Could live with 3, don't wanna risk 2.

Nah.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Not enough in it for me

 

[Midramble]

I thought this was going to be about the obnoxious neverending oculus ad.

"My finger, is on the button"

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Seems like a bad deal.

 

[Musubi]

I'M FEELIN' LUCKY BABY.

 

[Deleted member 13496]

I only love like three people so those odds aren't great.

ROLL THOSE DICE BABEEEEE

 

[Damaniel]

If the options are equally likely, then no thanks. 60% good outcomes vs 40% bad outcomes means it totally wouldn't be worth it.

 

[Mórríoghain]

No, but I'll press this button.

INCEPTION

The Inception Button - BRRRRRRRAAAAAWWWWRWRRRMRMRMMRMRMMMMM!!!

inception.davepedu.com

 

[Quantum Leap]

No. If #2 was gone then sure.

 

[Zombine]

Not even in it for the money? How much money would get you to consider pressing the button?

 

[jerf]

1,3,4,5 all sound good to me. 80% chance of something good happening. I'll take those odds.

 

[Deimos]

Didn't read, press it.

 

[SJRB]

I'd push it five times just for the lulz

 

[Z-Beat]

Stop it, it was a bad movie

There was a reason this was relegated to a short story/half hour tv episode.

 

[Whipwhopper]

Thread made me think of

 

[rpm]

80% chance of something good happening, only 20% chance of a negative outcome (#2). I like those odds.

 

[Deleted member 22630]

I channel my inner DD, yes!

 

[Zombine]

 

[Lobster Roll]

That money could be infinite and it's not worth the risk.

 

[Lulu]

lol all that for a million? That's it? Come on

 

[Revolver_Ocelot]

A 40% chance of either me or a loved one dying? Yeah no. Maybe @ a 4% chance.

 

[Deleted member 864]

Eh, not enough in it for me.

 

[Zombine]

lol all that for a million? That's it? Come on

Click to shrink...

I have upped the ante for the monetary compensation

 

[CrocodileGrin]

I mean, you'd have to question, "Are you or the lives of your parents, siblings or extended family worth a million bucks?" I feel like the button can offer better than that.

 

[Huey]

I would hope either 2 and 3 would be deal breakers for almost everyone, but apparently not

 

[FerrisBueller]

Those are terrible odds/options. No.

 

[Baji Boxer]

How big is the button? And is there a warning sign telling me not to press the red button?

 

[Feep]

A million ain't what it used to be, man.

Anyone who presses this would be insane.

 

[Zombine]

A million ain't what it used to be, man.

Click to shrink...

How much would make you consider pressing it within reason?

 

[julia crawford]

BONK IT

 

[Sketchsanchez]

Easily. Shit I'd go twice.

 

[Swiggins]

#2 is a dealbreaker, but if that wasn't there. Sure, why not.

 

[Zombine]

I have added option 6

 

[Vidpixel]

Lol hell nah, get that shit away from me.

 

[robot]

50% chance someone is going to die? No way

 

[Deleted member 22630]

A million ain't what it used to be, man.

Anyone who presses this would be insane.

Click to shrink...

I am insane yes, after all I'm pressing it just because it is a button, I live life simple that way.

 

[Rytheran]

I'm not playing russian roulette even if it's pretending to be a button.
