Rules:

• The $10,000 is not taxed.
• No one ever comes looking for it or audits you.
• The magic button cannot be traded to someone else or destroyed if you chose to accept this offer. You are free to press it as often or as little as you want though, but it's yours for life afterwards.
• If you press it there is a 5% chance that a random elevator somewhere in the world suddenly fails, the support cable(s) snaps, and it falls.
• The people inside can survive if the fall is short enough and walk away with minor bumps, cuts, bruises, etc. The fall may also occur from 30 floors up. It's 100% random.
• I don't know how many types of elevators their are in the world but I'm talking strictly building elevators that people ride.

Are you using the button?

If so - how many times?

Is $10,000 worth the risk and potential guilt to follow?

For the sake of this hypothetical, the IQ system is now empirically correct and excellent at measuring overall intelligence.

The button appears in front of you for 30 minutes, then disappears forever. Decide fast.

Ok, you are sent in 1310 in Europe. Forever. Bye.

You can choose your age, your gender. You pick where you go and can instantly speak the language and get an understanding of what the current local situation is.

People around you are implanted with memories that you were always sort of around so they don't realise you are new in your village/town/location.

Your memories of your current life fade within 1h You need to pick your livelihood. Once you picked it, you instantly become good at it, not world changing, but you are good.

What do you become and why?

Ill give you mine in the comment.

I am genuinely just rewording it better and not just trying to workaround loopholes. So here is what the sole button actually is:

You are alone in a sealed room. Somewhere out there, 99 other people are each alone in their own sealed room. Each of you has a single button in front of you. You cannot see, hear, or communicate with anyone else. You don't know what they're thinking. You don't know what they'll do.

The rules are simple:

• If nobody presses their button, everyone dies.
• If exactly one person presses it, everyone lives.(including the person who presses)
• If more than one person presses it, everyone who pressed dies — the rest survive.

You have 60 seconds.

Do you press it?

Obviously once you know everything, you'll know what's the best thing to write down for the rest of humanity to know, but what are your predictions of what it will be?

Remember that you got 24h so you won't be able to pour so much time into doing things, you can't do everything at once and you'll have to make use of that time as efficiently as possible

It's simple. Would you go through what Deadpool went through to get his abilities in order for you to have his abilities?

You can exert perfect manual control over all of your body’s functions and processes that would usually be involuntary. However you can’t do anything that is physically impossible for your body. For instance you could sleep on command, and control the production of certain hormones, but you can’t fly.

How do you use this power?

You do not know the reason why.

Your boss cannot be allowed to touch or check his phone.

You cannot destroy or steal (no matter how temporarily) the phone.

If you inform your boss of this in any way, you will be fired (if discovered).

How would you keep your job?

In this fictional world, being terminated for bullshit reasons is legal.

You are in a sealed room with 100 strangers. In front of each person is a button. EDIT: Everyone is isolated and cannot see the actions of anyone else.

The rule: exactly one person must press their button.

If nobody presses it, everyone dies.

If only person presses it, Everyone lives.

If more than one person presses it, everyone who pressed dies — but the rest survive.

There is no way to communicate. You have 60 seconds. What do you do?

So either last Man on an Earth with all women or last Woman on a Earth with all men.

You get to step into any film or TV show and intervene to prevent the villain from being defeated. Which villain are you saving, and how would you do it?

You find some mushrooms growing under your bed you decide to eat them. That night you have the most vividest dream that is 100% true you will never be able to see this again though you will always remember just as vividly. but what you have seen is the absolute truth. You dream of the beginning of earth. You dream of the end of earth. You now know for a fact which belief system science/ religion is correct and which are false. You see nothing other than the beginning and the end of the world as whole. Do you try and tell people what’s correct or let them believe what they want knowing it’s completely wrong? Are you willing to give up your own beliefs if you know they are false even without tangible evidence?

You can not permanently die for that year. There are entites. If you do die from hunger, thirst, an entity, etc you respawn to the beginning of whatever level you're on. Falling is the only thing that won't kill you. You still feel pain. Time does not pass for anyone on earth, and when you go back no one will notice anything and life will continue as normal. You will not age and you can not bring anything with you or take anything back to earth aside from your clothes. You start off in level 0/the well known level with the yellow walls. There are no established human civilizations and the chance of meeting a human is exceedingly rare. Any other humans there will be able to die permanently. You can also choose to stack it like doing 3 years for 30 million but you have to do the years in a row. You can't leave and then come back for another year. You also have to do the full year to get the money, you can't leave halfway and take 5 million. If you accept you will not be able to leave until the year pases.You can try to prepare by reading the wiki if you want but that's it. There is no chance of you accidentally entering the backrooms in the future whether you do or don't accept it.

On January 1st you wake up in a room with a man sitting at a table.

He tells you that you have a choice to press the button in front of him and you will get 1 million dollars but there is a 50% chance that someone who has pressed the button will die. Or you can decline the offer and you will wake up in your bed.

He tells you that every year 100 people in the world are given this offer and it has been going on for 50 years. You are also warned that if you press the button you go onto the list and anytime someone pushes the button after you there is a chance that you're the one that dies.

This is a one time opportunity.

You can only press the button once if you choose too.

You have 24 hours to decide to press the button or not, but you must stay in this room until you choose. If you don't choose it is automatically counted as a no.

Do you press the button?

While on a personal sabbatical in a remote camping location, you happen upon a strange scene.

A craft that can only be explained as otherworldly hovers and lands near your campsite. A door appears and opens. A tall being of unknown gender appears and approaches you.

You’re obviously stunned. You reach for your phone, but strangely it has no power. The being approaches you and begins to “speak”.

After several hours of conversation with this being you come to realize a great many truths about the true nature of all things. This information is so astounding that it shatters your world view.

In the end this being offers you a choice. You may leave with it. You will not be harmed in any way. In fact you will be allowed to pursue limitless opportunities. Because of their advanced knowledge and technology, you can be cured of any disease. Any bodily injury may be repaired. You can choose to remain in your physical form for all eternity. Death will never find you if you so choose. Even total destruction of your physical form can be reversed. You may of course choose to “move on” to the next place at your own discretion.

You will never be able to return to earth again. You can however visit any other number of countless worlds in the vastness of the cosmos. No one in your life will know what happened to you. To anyone who knows you, you will have simply gone missing. There are no exceptions to this rule. You are allowed no goodbyes. Doing so would contaminate the human species.

If you choose to remain on earth, all knowledge of this encounter will be erased from your memory. You’ll go on living your life as if it never happened.

It’s a binary choice. Choose wisely.

Do you stay or do you go?

You have a magic app on your phone that works only once. It allows you to upload a video up to 30 seconds long, and within the next 24 hours everyone on the planet will have seen it at least once. It pops up on any media platform they open, it's played on television, digital billboards, you name it. Even people out in wilderness or locked up without technology will see it, perhaps as a dream or hallucination.

What do you post?

The money: 5000 USD or its equivalent, delivered however you prefer, no tax funny business.

The Curse: a pair of mimes(striped shirts, suspenders, black pants, berets, red clown noses) follow you around 24/7 and act out what you do and say.

They are not always the same mimes; you'll get a range of men, women, children, of all shapes and sizes.

You cannot escape them. You cannot harm or restrain them.

They do *not* follow your commands or address you at all.

For example, if you are telling someone about your day, they might mime driving or working or what have you, but they will not act out lies unless they are particularly entertaining.

Speaking of entertainment, if they go too long without having something to mime, they become bored and miming their own things with psychokinetic force to tease, harass, or harm other people. Just give them something interesting to act out every 8 hours or so and you'll be fine.

You taking the money?

A magical potion sits in front of you!

Every time you use it, you lose 1 month off of your life

Drink it or not drink it ?
