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.
Meanwhile, people who play Xcom refuse to press 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
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.
If it was "die instantly," then I would definitely press it. However, it says "die a gruesome death," which kinda scares me, so I'm not sure if I would...
Only 1% chance of winning? Fuck no.
Either way I deal with my dysphoria :3
I'm pressing it multiple times until I get my gruesome death of being buried under a mountain of money.
Long time Xcom player here, back to the original series.
No.
I was about to comment about Fire Emblem but yes Xcom is the superior example.
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
Those are some absolutely beautiful odds if it's a one off 1% chance of death by pressing the button! Sign me up, Scotty!
99 times
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.
Already dying a gruesome death tho, ain't I. Million bucks sounds handy
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%
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 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.
A MILLION DOLLARS! Austin Powers scene.
No. But for 100 million 🤔
Real question is how often are you willing to press the button
Yes, It have 1% Chance to fix my all problems.
Thats a win-win Situation, why wouldn't I push it?
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?
