You wake up tomorrow with the permanent ability to see a floating number above every person’s head showing exactly how many days they have left to live. You cannot turn it off.

It works on everyone — strangers, family, coworkers, people on the street. The number is always accurate and updates in real time. You can’t ignore it or make it go away.

How does this change the way you live?

Would you rather have $27 million right now… but there’s an immortal invisible raccoon whose only job is to destroy every toilet and shower near you for the rest of your life?

Okay so here’s the deal.

You get $27 million cash, tax-free, instantly in your account.

But the second the money hits, this one raccoon appears. It’s biologically immortal, smarter than most engineers, completely invisible (cameras, thermal, everything), and its entire life purpose is to make sure you never have working indoor plumbing again.

It doesn’t want to hurt you. It just wants every toilet, shower, sink, and pipe within about 50 meters of wherever you sleep, eat, or work to be completely fucked.

Some rules:

  • You can’t see it, photograph it, or detect it. It walks through walls until the exact second it touches a pipe, then it becomes solid just long enough to wreck shit.
  • You cannot kill it. Traps, poison, guns — nothing works. It just phases through everything.
  • It has a tiny indestructible wrench and infinite patience. It will unscrew U-bends, crack pipes, pour concrete in your septic, whatever it takes. You fix something, it breaks it again a couple hours later.
  • It tracks you. Wherever you go, the plumbing in that radius starts dying.
  • Living off-grid doesn’t help. Yacht, outhouse, bucket in the woods… it’ll tip the bucket, steal the toilet paper, or somehow fuck it up while you’re sleeping.
  • Hiring plumbers 24/7 doesn’t work either. It’ll just wait until they look away and flush their tools or keys.

So… are you taking the money, or are you keeping the ability to take a normal shit without a raccoon personally intervening?

Avenger Hurricane 12h - 50mm. Views?

I'm considering buying one - almost new but not anywhere near RRP.

I like the look of the watch the bit of yellow on the dial and the strap. Size is not an issue for me personally.

The bit I might struggle with is the weight, it's super light at 112g or something. That's not far off half the weight of a 46mm Super Ocean to put some perspective on it.

Just curious if any of you lads have firsthand experience with the hurricane?
