press button
Get million dollars
Wtf I thought this was the button that turns you into a girl
-
Money can be exchanged for many hormones
-
-
No, the chance of death isn't high enough
-
Can always keep pressing until you get it, or just keep pressing to increase odds, these buttons usually allow multiple pushes.
-
-
sets up auto clicker
-
cuz you can only die once anyway, so you will end up with a chance approaching 100% of getting the money
-
If it continues clicking after your death its infinite money. Not for you, but fir someone..
-
-
Meanwhile, people who play Xcom refuse to press the button.
-
Can I throw a grenade at the button?
-
I don't even walk out my front door unless I see full cover nearby
-
I know it says 100% chance to die.
I'm still pushin it.
-
I'm read like a book
-
Nobody can tell me that the Xcom probabilities aren' riged. The amount of times I have died because someone messed up hitting something right infront of them is way to high
-
For the new game, on some difficulties it is rigged. But only ever in the player's favor.
-
-
-
So like every regular day waking up, but this time with the million dollar chance.
-
If you roll a 1% chance of dying every day, you don’t make it to your first birthday
-
I'm just incredible lucky
-
-
Damn, what is it like to be you?

My name is Bond, James Bond.

The big question is how many times to press it. Once at least is a given. It does specify the death as gruesome, so I don't really want the death, but I'd also like enough money to not have to worry again until a non gruesome death.
Like, if it was painless death, I'd probably say something like 20 or 30 times, but with a gruesome one...maybe 5 max, or perhaps even less. Still, one or two pushes is a given.
-
5 presses would be enough to pay yourself 100k a year for 50 years + interest gained with a 95% chance of success. That's what I'd go with.
-
It can be both gruesome and painless. Something where you wouldn't even know what happened, but the person unlucky enough to clean up would be scarred for life.
-
It's also a gamble because you might get a painless one but also could get one that is insanely painful. Those odds aren't clearly defined and quantified like the button's odds.
-
Like being hit by a train.
-
-
At 30 pushes you still have a chance of 73,97% to live. Thats not thaat bad for 30million
-
-
Only 1% chance of winning? Fuck no.
-
I'd absolutely press it once, because if I'm unlucky enough to hit a 1% on the first press, I think I'd rather just be dead anyway. That kinda bad luck will kill you in some other way.
-
Long time Xcom player here, back to the original series.
No.
-
First time I experienced this exact sentiment was years ago playing Dynasty Tactics.
99% chance to hit?
Realize devs forgot to include the decimal. 90.1% chance of exploding.
-
If you haven't run across it, UFO:AI is an open source "re-release" of X-COM Apocalypse
-
I was about to comment about Fire Emblem but yes Xcom is the superior example.
-
-
Swap those numbers and you got yourself a deal!
-
Considering real life, it's a pretty good deal. Real jobs have a way-higher guresome death chance to 1 million dollar ratio, and most of the time you just end up in a dead-end job.
-
sweet, a quantum immortality tester that prints money.
-
Stop, stop, the button only works once!
-
Your odds of dying are worse if you earn the million through work.
-
Either way I deal with my dysphoria :3
-
99 times
-
About 37% of getting 99 million dollars And 63% of dying
-
-
What happens if I slap the button with my cock?
-
You either have a 99% chance of cashing out big but a 1% chance of dying horribly. What body part you press it with doesn't make a difference.
-
But they get style points and thats all that matters

Hmm, I'm a little surprised at how consistent the responses are, but I guess I shouldn't be. I just know that if I did that spam until death and pass it all on to family thing that others here are about, well I wouldn't trust my family to adequately handle big money after my death; they'd fuck it up, the greedy shitty ones would try and steal the will, keep some other family members from getting any; just anything to not just do what I wanted, and I wouldn't be there to deal with it.
But regardless, since I found out I was trans, 1% death chance is too big for me. I want to live and experience my life approximately closer to how it always should have been, even though I lost a couple decades getting there. Hell, just the million dollars, even if we say it's somehow still taxed and the fed takes a bunch, could resolve all my debts, pay for all my trans surgeries, and I'd still have more to help my family without them just fucking it all up. But I still wouldn't want to risk the death for that.
-
I'm pressing it multiple times until I get my gruesome death of being buried under a mountain of money.
-
Those are some absolutely beautiful odds if it's a one off 1% chance of death by pressing the button! Sign me up, Scotty!
-
A MILLION DOLLARS! Austin Powers scene.
No. But for 100 million 🤔

You could apply that 1% chance of a gruesome death to every single day the rest of forever(my life, anyways); I'm still pushing the button.
-
Win-Win
-
Considering the extreme risk involved despite the low odds, I would not.
\ It is tempting and the odds of hitting that 1% on the first press are low, so the chance of a payoff is very good, but on the other hand, you won't get any money if you hit that 1% first try, so even leaving money for loved ones is out of the question there.
-
You can press it 69 times and still have a 50% chance of living
-
How does that work mathematically?
-
(99/100)⁶⁹≈0.5=50%
-
0.99**69 = 0.4998
-
-
-
Thats a win-win Situation, why wouldn't I push it?
-
Already dying a gruesome death tho, ain't I. Million bucks sounds handy
-
Real question is how often are you willing to press the button
-
Either way my problems will go away so why not.
-
Press once, if I live get my will in order for the situation, then press until I die.
-
Push. I'm satisfied with life enough to leave if necessary. And who cares if it's a "gruesome" death. I won't remember.
-
Yes, It have 1% Chance to fix my all problems.
-
Nah, I feel like whoever would make that offer would have something much shadier in mind
-
Fuck money.
-
Like the porn stars make?
-
🤔
-
-
-
Sounds like I'd be happy either way, sooo
-
-
But wait wait... do I see it coming, or is it like a Russian roulette kind of deal?
