Why do people click the, don't click this button?

[ShindoL Shill]

because we have to, or the warning wins.
that smug sonofabitch will never let us heard the end of it ted!
also for the badge.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Because, dear Watson,

*takes out pipe, looks sophisticated*

Curiosity.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Because it's a button, and dammit, it has to be pressed!

Also, confusion and curiosity are very cruel things.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Because you get candy if you click it enough times.

 

[Araxiel_1911]

Easy answer, and it falls into the same category with "do not open", "do not touch" and "do not try to break it":
You guys are stupid

 

[MorsePacific]

Because I like seeing Justin Bieber on everyone's posts.

Seriously, it can turn the dullest topics into something wonderful.

 

[LoFr3Eq]

The only cure for Beiber fever is....

Spoiler: Relaxation

Spoiler: And lots of fluids

 

[plugav]

As a person who's just clicked it to see if anything happens, I can give you one answer: curiosity.

Gods damn it, has my time with D&D taught me nothing?

 

[Kieros]

If you give people something to click, and say DO NOT CLICK THAT, then people will click it.
This is a great study on a case that was close to this situation. [http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/badges/32/3d723c08dad17155ba62950ed31f2bb8.png]

 

[fun-with-a-gun]

I just click on interesting badges to see if they give me rewards... This one did not...

 

[cthulhumythos]

Seriously, I saw a shiny red button, then I clicked and now Justin Bieber is everywhere because of my actions (long story) so people, why do we click the, don't click this buttons?

I hope you don't think this is a miss leading title, if anything this whole discussion is on miss leading titles.

because goddammit if theres i button im'a go click it.

 

[Galaxy Roll]

I have yet to suffer ill effects from mashing it. Certainly none that are Beiber related.

I'll press it a few more times to be sure.

Edit: I was promised a badge and something called "consequences" whatever those are.

Edit Edit: If I died from pressing this button a lot, I leave all of my stuff to my corpse.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

I wanted the medal, that's about the only reason.

 

[Reaper195]

I clicked it because everyone was going on about it in three or four threads, with not a single person mentioning what actually happens when it is clicked. So I clicked.

 

[Zakarath]

I clicked it because I wanted the badge

 

[otakon17]

Why make a button if it is not meant to be pressed is a better question!
OT: Curiosity, got me about 2 weeks back. Never again will I be fooled be shiny, red buttons.
"Never press the Red Button", a dog.

 

[Ironsouled]

The allure of the forbidden is a very, very strong one. Even if the button in question is bad, people will still go for it.

If you click this button the universe will end!
::Some arserag walks up before the paints is dry::
That can't be true.
::click::
And there goes the universe. That was a webcomic, but I can't remember which.

 

[Holyeskimo]

Im convinced that's theres a secret way to press one of those buttons and it will dispense a cupcake of the user's choosing, i'll stop as soon as i get my cupcake,and proof that i can't somehow repeat the process.

 

[Infernai]

Because if we weren't meant to press a button, they wouldn't have it in the first place..I think the person who makes the damn buttons is the bigger idiot. If the button does something bad, like blow a building up, you need to make it a code so it doessn't get pressed by an outside force or by accident.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Poor following directions skills, obviously.

id say its more
'owww.... shiny button, whats it do' *MASH*
or
'it can't be that bad' *MASH* 'nnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'
