Will You Press the Button?

[404notfound]

http://willyoupressthebutton.com/4626/yes

Was the first that made me press the button. If I had a perfect relationship with my ideal partner then gender, either doesn't matter, as I'm forced to swap but still have the relationship, or the swap makes the relationship perfect; no downside to this one from my point of view.

In my experience, buttons are dangerous.

Unrelated, anyone want to play a cool game built into the Forum? [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.297629-HEY-Who-wants-to-play-bubble-breaker]

So I got
"You are put on the will of the 12th, 34th and 56th richest men in the world to take their entire fortune."
(That's badly phrased, they should have said "as sole beneficiary")

*But*

"You have to give 95% of it to donations."

So it's a "Yes, I'd absolutely press the button!" but I rated it as bad, because it's not really any kind of dilemma.
Any way you look at it, getting 5% of the fortunes of these men is a huge windfall for me, and on top of that I'd get to give fantastic sums of money to worthy causes like disease research and getting clean water to third world nations. Win-win.

You are able to manipulate the mind of everybody that you see.
But
Everybody that you look at appears naked.

I don't see the downside.

"Hi Mum I- Argh fuck no god damn it"

I can find a downside in everything my friend.

 

[Johnny Impact]

You get to have amazing powers and travel the world but your best friend betrays you. (PRESS, as I don't rely on friends for all that much)

You become the best actor in the world but you'll never fall in love. (PRESS, as falling in love has been an utter shit show for me)

You receive anything you desire for free, but you will be considered evil. (PRESS, I don't care what others think)

You can transfigure any part of your body in any way at any time, but each use of the power reduces your lifespan by a week. (PRESS, because I'd only need to use it once or twice)

You find concrete proof that god does not exist and convince all of humanity of this, but you become distant, lonely and bitter, and you die alone. (PRESS, I'm already all that, I relish the chance to slap believers upside the head and get them to maybe focus on what's real instead of wasting time on wishes and unicorn farts)

-------------------------------
You become the sexiest person in the world but your IQ drops 20 points. (I WILL NOT, it's not that being smart is awesome (it is) but rather that the appeal of being stalked by psychos and hounded by paparazzi would wear off real quick)

You can travel into the past, but everyone you know forgets who you are forever. (I WILL NOT, I don't care about the past, the future is where all the cool toys are, plus I like my family)

You marry the person of your dreams, you are together as long as you'd like, but they don't like you. (I WILL NOT, because to be the woman of my dreams she would have to like me, it's part of the package)

You can get a ton of candy you love, but you can never read a book again. (I WILL NOT, books are irreplaceable, I can eat cake and cookies instead)

You can listen to any song with perfect clarity in your head at any time, but you must listen to a 30 second ad after every song. (I WILL NOT, because of my seething volcanic hatred for advertising)

"The perfect MMO is created for free" but "The server is brazilian and 90% of the players are brazilian"
I am brazilian, no downside to this. Yes, please.

"Everything you say comes true" but "You get the opposite of what you say"
So? Just say the opposite of what I want. I will never get a date with Natalie Portman...Never.
I will just have to work hard to be very careful what I gonna say from then on... I pressed, why not? What could possibly go wrong?

"You have the knowledge of the universe" but "You will find out everyone in your generation will live longer than you"
With that knowledge I could build a death ray and make sure they will never out live me. Win-Win. Pressed.

"You can make anyone you desire fall in love with you" but "your closest family member will despite you forever."
I say yes, but it's tricky nonetheless.

"You will be instant Tumbrl famous"... Don't care about the downside. No

"You are a master thied and can steal anything you want without getting caught" but "you will have horrible nightmares from everyone will steal from".
Fuck those people. Pressed.

"Get the body shape you like" but "you have to work to keep it".
So... Just like actual body shapping? Pressed, why not?

 

[wulfy42]

You get one wish every day for the rest of your life but every wish you make causes 100 ppl to die.

Day 1
Alrighty then I wish for a TARDIS with the knowledge to use it.

Day 2
I wish to be like a Time Lord with regeneration.

Day 3
I wish for all the doctors gadgets and for them to work regardless if it makes sense or not.

First wish: I wish all the people who die from me wishing are people about to murder someone innocent, someone about to rape another person, or someone who would harm me in the future.

All wishes after that would only be good for the world....and I'd make a bunch of them.

The first one is a paradox since it says everything you say comes true, and you get the opposite of everything you say...so basically you can't say anything about yourself or it's a paradox (so it would have no affect). You could say something like nobody in the world will sleep with natali portman though..and in theory you would then sleep with her.

The second one means you would die as y ou press the button of your death ray (since everyone else would die right after you press it). You probably would not have time though as someone in your generation dies every second (every millisecond just about), so as soon as you pushed that button, you would die).

The next one says you can make anyone fall in love with you, but your closest family member will despise you. Obviously you can't use the power on your closest family member then. Since you could make EVERYONE else love you and make world piece that way (since everyone would follow your will/desire), I think one person not liking you is very worth it. You could even make sure they have a very good life through all the other people who love you helping them (without them knowing it's related to you of course).

Your a thief, but you feel guilty about what you steel/have nightmares? Steel for good reasons and it's worth it...and anyone, just because you CAN steal anything doesn't mean you have to. No reason not to press it...and many reasons to.

You instantly get the perfect body and look however you want. So what, you have to THEN work to keep your great body...big deal. All that sex is gonna burn alot of calories!!

A few of the positives are actually negatives anyway. Knowledge of the universe means you pretty much know everything, so what would you look forward to in life? Nothing would be new to you...even if you didn't instantly die, you'd probably wish you could. Everything you say comes true would be super hard to deal with, even if there was no downside...one wrong phrase could be deadly. I'd probably say something like, "I can't say anything out loud without writing it down first" right away to protect myself from mistakes.

 

[wulfy42]

stupid double post.

 

[Seanfall]

'Be hated by everyone on earth.' But 'guarantee to go to heaven.' ....Atheist here so...that really does nothing for me. *pass*

'See one year into the future' I'm assuming I know a lot then, perhaps everything that happens in that year? but 'Have to move to another country' that's my plan anyways, I could look forward to which country would be best for me and move there....I love it. *press*

 

[raeior]

First one I got: You can divide by zero but every time you do it a cat dies a horrible death.
I can't see the downside in that! Also I can't see the positive side in this but at least I get to kill all cats!

Another one: You wouldn't ever feel pain but You may be having a heart attack and not even know it.
Why would I do that? Usually pain is there for a very good reason! Especially in a line of work where there are dangerous chemicals and hot surfaces aplenty.

Hmm this ones a bit more interesting: To start over as a new person vs You will have no memories of your past life.
Ask me again in 70 years or so please.

You fall in love with anyone you choose but You two break up and fight, then get back together every moth
Holy crap why would anyone want that?

 

[Gray-Philosophy]

You are able to manipulate the mind of everybody that you see.

I don't see the downside.

"Hi Mum I- Argh fuck no god damn it"

I can find a downside in everything my friend.

I am aware of this point, and I considered it myself. But I'm also confident I can choose to direct my focus elsewhere, especially after a while of desensitization.

 

[J Tyran]

Instantly have exact amount of cash required for any and all vidya purchases in your pocket

But

never have a girlfriend for the rest of your life

Kinda pointless for me, I can already afford all the movies and games I want and girlfreind is very specific and there are a number of ways out of and around that for me.

Tried again and,

Gain the ability to fly

But

fart when doing so

So you're telling me someone doesn't want to fart while flying?

 

[DestinyCall]

Have the world's greatest gaming computer ever made
but
You're a girl who only uses it for Facebook

The horror?

 

[renegade7]

You become the most attractive person in the world, but you change sex in the process.

Yea, that wouldn't bother me at all.

As long as I stay attractive with age, and that old saying "Men are like fine wine, they get better with age, women are like flowers, they wilt after a week" doesn't apply.

The next question:

"You have an unlimited supply of french fries, but there's no ketchup."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!11!!!!

 

[Chris Moses]

You become incredibly fit, smart, witty and attractive
but
You are turned into the opposite gender

I have wondered about both scenarios before and ofc I never fantasized about what it would be like to be an ugly woman... A trial period would be preferred.

Really it's the fit part that I feel escaped me especially in the last 10 years or so.

 

[Queen Michael]

It's Tuesday night. I'm bored. Let's have another go.

"You can read peoples' minds BUT you find out what everybody really thinks of you."

No way, José. Not worth it.

 

[Asita]

"Change physical appearance at will" but "100,000 people go infertile"

Yep, that's a good deal in my books, seeing how 100,000 people only make up about 0.0014% of the population, and a great deal of the population is above childrearing age anyways making it a moot point if they get hit by the latter effect.

I will gain all the knowledge of the internet, BUT I will get Tourette(not Turret, come on, website) and shout random sex noises for the rest of my life.

Well that's tough, but I could probably explain it to people use my near infinite knowledge for lot's of cool stuff, so yes, gimme!

...Wouldn't all the knowledge of the internet actually be the reason you'd be shouting random sex noises? I mean after all...

 

[Dastardly]

How about a little game to waste some time?

I made my own:

You can get whatever you want from anyone you want, just by asking, for the rest of your life... but when you die, they all die, too.
