Title: A million dollars but...
Post by: qcbaker on May 08, 2017, 12:14:14 PM
I play this game with my friends all the time, and I thought it might be a fun idea for a thread. Some of you may have heard of this game, but here is the premise for those who haven't: each person takes turns presenting a situation in which the other person receives a million dollars, but they are then subject to some sort of "cost". The person then needs to decide whether or not they would take the million dollars, and explain why.

One of my favorite "starters" for this game is this one:

A million dollars, but there now exists an immortal snail that is following you. If he touches you, you die. The snail cannot be killed, and cannot be stopped. If you put him into an enclosed space with no exit, he will eventually break through the walls, no matter what they are made of. If you move to a different continent, he will crawl across the ocean floor. Bear in mind, he moves at a literal snail's pace. You can always simply walk away from him. But if you let your guard down for long enough, he will find you and he will kill you. Do you take the million?

Respond to this one, then post your own.

No.  I've been known to sleep for far too long, sit at my desk playing videogames for far too long, and if I ever crash the KTM 1290 SuperDuke you know I'd buy and end up hospitalized I'd be doomed.



Ok, a cool million, but you are constantly aflame.  Like what's his face from Fantastic 4, except uncontrollably.  It doesn't cause you any pain, but inevitably burns all but the most fire retardant materials.

While this is tempting, as people would surely leave me and my million alone, I'd have to say no. There's no way I could possibly enjoy it if everything around me was burning to the ground...

So...one million dollars, but you will always be totally winded, as though you just sprinted up a dozen flights of stairs.

Ha, I like this one. However, I don't think I would take the million here, since you'd have to spend the whole million buying stuff like a flame retardant bed, flame retardant house stuff, etc. Not really worth it, IMO.

I don't know if this is worth it to me either lol. This makes it really hard to enjoy anything.

New one: A million dollars, but you can no longer tell the difference between muffins and babies.

Not a big muffin fan (nor baby fan) anyway.  I could live with that.

What are the upper and lower limits for feet size, and what are the upper and lower limits for each size change? Like, could I go from baby feet to size 14 in one change? Or, could I end up with feet the size of houses?

"Realistic" changes, up or down a size or two every instance, "baby feet" possible.  As for biggest, let's say world record size, so like 26US/25UK/60EU...
Also, that "growing pain" feeling never goes away.

Yeah, I'll take the million. I'll just buy a pair of shoes of every other size, and wear the shoe 2 sizes too big in the morning. By the time I get home from work, they'll either fit just right or be way too big, which is workable as long as I'm not trying to run anywhere.

A million dollars but you never have the correct piece of silverware for whatever you're eating. You can also never find the correct one. If you're eating steak, you will find you can only locate spoons. Knifes and forks are nowhere to be found. Move on to a bowl of ice cream for dessert and suddenly you find the fork and knife you were looking for earlier, but you cant find any of your spoons now.

Also, you are not allowed to stock your house with these:

If you aren't eating steak with your hands you aren't eating correctly.
Also, steak sammiches! :cheers:

Plus, I can always just make ice-cream soup.  So I say yes.

So basically, a million but I can't ride my GS anymore? I think I'd take the million, since I could just buy a different bike. If the plastic wheels apply to any bike I ride, then no.

Yes, I'd take the million here. I'd use one of those services that brings you fresh ingredients and meal plans every week, and I'd just cook everything.

A million dollars but for one hour at random every day, you talk like Ned Flanders. Hideley ho, neighborino!

No problem, I eat steak and rice with my hand. And better yet, I'd give up the rice altogether. In fact I already did. LOL.

My son and I had a game where we had to eat the turkey on thanksgiving day without touching with our hands. Like tip the plate and get it to the edge and bite it off the edge of the plate. We had to stop when my wife yelled at us. We nearly choked cos we were laughing so hard.

Cool.

I think I'd take the money, but I would have to carry around a small bottle of mouthwash at all times lol.

Traction Control I can survive without. But cat memes? I'd sooner die than give those up.

But for real though, I couldn't take the million here. A large portion of my life is dedicated to electronic stuff, and to never be able to use anything like that again would leave me extremely bored.

A million dollars but you can only speak in movie soundbits.

No way. I'd go insane after a while. Maybe if I only had to do it a certain number of times. Like if I had to spend 1 whole year reliving the same week, but after that life was normal and I got the million.

If you can't do anything with the money, whats the point of having it? I don't have any kids so its not like I'd be saving it for them. Pass on that.

A million dollars but you now have a "trigger phrase" (like a sleeper agent) that causes you to believe you are a random animal (could be a cat, could be a flea, could be a peregrine falcon, etc) for 2 hours. At the end of the two hours, you have no memory of this event.

ill clarify, as  in brewsters  millions, you couldnt acuire anything which could magnify your wealth. i dont recall the film disallowing interest income though. anyhoo moving on, yours, sure id do that. youd be looked at as crazy for a couple hours, but who knows you could just segregate yourself and bark moo or meow to hearts content. that is if you knew while it was going on. heck after which youve no memory of it so who cares . anyhoo.
a million but for a months time, you have to sleep in a different location each night. without tv or wifi or smartphone or tablet. your only source of comms is a landline. and you travel via greyhound. ( or whatever insterstate or travel bus lines operate in your location)

Yes, I'd do that. Honestly, I would probably do that for much less than a million lol.

A million dollars but you can no longer use your legs for transportation. You technically still have the ability to walk or run, as in nothing is physically wrong with your legs or spine. You are magically bound to not be able to use any method of leg-powered transportation. You are also not allowed use a wheelchair (because otherwise, this just becomes a million dollars but you have to use a wheelchair). Instead, you must be carried like a baby by a large bodyguard type person. He/she is always nearby and is not annoyed or offended by any carrying requests. They will lift you up, carry you where you need to go, and then set you down. You may, however, crawl, walk on your hands, monkey-bars, etc.

Id do this cause I pretty much do it anyways. Course I don't think battlecow would be allowed but everything else would work. A million but it is in another nations currency. And exchanging such electronically isn't allowed. Manually have to locate a currency exchange bank, exchange, it then becomes another nations currency, this is done daily for 29 days before finally becoming your currency and you can then spend as you please.

Absolutely not. You wouldn't be able to buy anything lol.

A million dollars but every day, the proportions of your body change slightly. For example, tomorrow, your nose is a bit bigger. Next day one of your arms is now slightly longer. Day after, your eyes have moved a bit closer together.

The changes do accumulate over time, but you'll never be a monster. Your proportions do stay within reason.

A million dollars but there is now a parrot that sits on your shoulder and listens to everything you say. The parrot also has a habit of repeating things you've said, so choose your words wisely.

Bumping my own thread since I enjoy this game lol.

A million dollars, but whenever you order any food/drink, you MUST specify that you want it boneless, even if its a food that that wouldn't normally apply to.

Example:
"Welcome to McBurger, what can I get you?"
"Yeah, hi, can I get one medium boneless milkshake please?"
"... a boneless milkshake?"
"Yes sir."

Would do.  I could have fun with that.  Reminds me of an episode of Futurama in which Leela orders a fruit cup at a fast food establishment and complains that it's spelled "froot" and in quotations, and on her first bite she finds a bone in it.
Bender also orders the, and I quote, "Fried spaghetti dinner breakfast pocket for lunch" which appears in the form of a large breadstick.
I can only imagine it's like a garlicy Hot-Pocket with pasta in it.
Would eat.


Anyway, 1M but you have to wear squeaky shoes in public.  Like, every step sounds like a doggy chew toy.

Yes.


1 million but every place you sit down you are crammed between two sweaty sumo wrestlers that only wear the loin cloth.

When I said crammed between, their fat rolls are in constant contact with you.

I guess some people could handle the invasion of personal space better than others, but for me having to put up with that while eating meals, watching TV, sitting in a car, using the bathroom, etc... would be too much.

No to the sumo thing, no to the backwards thing as well.

Like, circle a few times?  Or do I have to contort and end up smelling my own rear?

If the former then sure, if the latter then no.


A million but you have to live in the Victorian era.  In other words, you must use period technology, clothing, etc.

Lol I was just referring to the circling, I hadn't thought about how dogs lay down all curled up like that.

I don't think they had motorcycles in the Victorian era, so pass on that lol.

Realized I never presented another one...


A million dollars but now you can only use crayons to write/draw. You're still able to type/print stuff, but anything you'd normally use a pen/pencil/marker/etc. for, you now must use a crayon.
Title: Re: A million dollars but...
Post by: Watcher on June 06, 2018, 01:08:05 PM
I'd do it, but I'd also keep a crayon sharpener on me to make it write "fine".


A million but you have to sign for the transfer with a robotic arm attached to a PC running the controls from "Hand Simulator".
CAN you do it?

Is there a time restriction or a certain number of attempts? If not, then yes. It'll just take quite a while for me to do it right lol.

A million but your personal gravity is off by a 5 degree angle. So, when you're on level ground, it feels like you're on a slight slope.
Title: Re: A million dollars but...
Post by: KHnTX on June 07, 2018, 12:29:16 PM
Which direction is the slope?

The slope is in a random direction, changing to a new random direction every time you lose consciousness.

Bringing this back because I'm bored at work lol.

A million dollars but you have a random chance to turn into a bird for a small period of time (5 minutes to an hour) once per day. You do not know when this will happen (or if it will happen at all).

Ha!  You didn't specify if it had to be crappy Maruchan $0.15 ramen and instant Folgers!

There's a Ramen place not too far from me that's amazing, I'd eat there daily if I could.  Plus I'd learn to make it myself.
I also like a proper black coffee if it's made with good beans.
And if toilet paper "doesn't exist" I'm sure an alternative like a bidet would be in every bathroom.  Either way, I could afford one, I'm a millionaire.
Would do.


A million but you have to eat everything as a smoothie.
No more delicious slices of pizza, its blended cheese, bread, sauce, and pepperoni smoothies from now on.
Title: Re: A million dollars but...
Post by: qcbaker on December 21, 2018, 12:15:04 PM
Seeing as I would probably want to spend a lot of my million on fancy food, gonna have to pass on the smoothie lol.

Here's something a little different: you get a 25% raise in your yearly income. But, you now have to pee 3x as often as normal. Do you take it?

I only pee like once or twice a day anyway, I don't think that would be a big deal.


Ok then, a million but it's in it's weight in platinum.  Just a big solid block.  It's on you to find a buyer and/or split it up however you need to.

So... as far as I can tell, price/ounce of platinum is $793.10/ounce. A million dollars buys you... 1260.875 ounces, which works out a a block of platinum weighing about... 78 pounds.

Yeah, I can manage that lol. Gimme dat plat.
