No, the chance of death isn’t high enough
Can always keep pressing until you get it, or just keep pressing to increase odds, these buttons usually allow multiple pushes.

Meanwhile, people who play Xcom refuse to press the button.

I know it says 100% chance to die.
I’m still pushin it.

Nobody can tell me that the Xcom probabilities aren’ riged. The amount of times I have died because someone messed up hitting something right infront of them is way to high
- djsoren19 ( @djsoren19@yiffit.net ) 19•4 months ago
I’d absolutely press it once, because if I’m unlucky enough to hit a 1% on the first press, I think I’d rather just be dead anyway. That kinda bad luck will kill you in some other way.
- thatsTheCatch ( @thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz ) 6•4 months ago
If it was “die instantly,” then I would definitely press it. However, it says “die a gruesome death,” which kinda scares me, so I’m not sure if I would…

Only 1% chance of winning? Fuck no.

I’m pressing it multiple times until I get my gruesome death of being buried under a mountain of money.

What happens if I slap the button with my cock?
You either have a 99% chance of cashing out big but a 1% chance of dying horribly. What body part you press it with doesn’t make a difference.
- TheFriendlyDickhead ( @TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee ) 6•4 months ago
But they get style points and thats all that matters
- Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English9•4 months ago
Those are some absolutely beautiful odds if it’s a one off 1% chance of death by pressing the button! Sign me up, Scotty!
- dustycups ( @prex@aussie.zone ) 9•4 months ago
99 times

Hmm, I’m a little surprised at how consistent the responses are, but I guess I shouldn’t be. I just know that if I did that spam until death and pass it all on to family thing that others here are about, well I wouldn’t trust my family to adequately handle big money after my death; they’d fuck it up, the greedy shitty ones would try and steal the will, keep some other family members from getting any; just anything to not just do what I wanted, and I wouldn’t be there to deal with it.
But regardless, since I found out I was trans, 1% death chance is too big for me. I want to live and experience my life approximately closer to how it always should have been, even though I lost a couple decades getting there. Hell, just the million dollars, even if we say it’s somehow still taxed and the fed takes a bunch, could resolve all my debts, pay for all my trans surgeries, and I’d still have more to help my family without them just fucking it all up. But I still wouldn’t want to risk the death for that.
- RandomVideos ( @RandomVideos@programming.dev ) 7•4 months ago
You can press it 69 times and still have a 50% chance of living
- volvoxvsmarla ( @volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee ) 2•4 months ago
How does that work mathematically?
- sunbather ( @sunbather@beehaw.org ) 7•4 months ago
(99/100)⁶⁹≈0.5=50%
- friendly_ghost ( @friendly_ghost@beehaw.org ) 7•4 months ago
Already dying a gruesome death tho, ain’t I. Million bucks sounds handy
- MachineFab812 ( @MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de ) 6•4 months ago
You could apply that 1% chance of a gruesome death to every single day the rest of forever(my life, anyways); I’m still pushing the button.
