Oh yeah. I was assuming an infinite series (somehow). Also, odds are good that out of 34 people, one of them would misunderstand the rules or be crazy enough to do it anyway for various reasons. I'd probably still do it.

I'd pull the lever to kill one person immediately. Assuming the decision maker at each stage is a different person with different opinions on moral, ethical, religious, and logical questions, then it's a near certainty that someone is going to pull the lever to kill the people at their stage. If you're lucky, it's the very next guy. If you're not, it's the guy killing a million people a couple of iterations later. If I'm the first guy, I'll take the moral hit to save the larger number of people.

I'm trying to learn Russian, and I wish I were already fluent lol

I have heard the same from a number of people, and no offense, but I don't believe you. When faced with personal annihilation, most people (including myself) quickly discover that they desperately want to avoid death.

No. I don't want to die, and I think the discussion of age as a purely aesthetic feature is a distraction from the basic truth that it kills you.

What makes this great is that the color scheme is almost exactly the same.

This guy time travels. That's what I was thinking too - just stick dates and a few race outcomes would easily translate to more than 10mil.

I appreciate the IT crowd reference.

[-] blackstampede@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 11 months ago

Yep. That's definitely worse.

[-] blackstampede@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, they're not kidding. That looks fantastic.

I hallucinated a werewolf and slammed on the brakes of an 8 ton military vehicle in rural Afghanistan, causing a patrol to go on alert for an attack.
