Deal or no deal? 10% chance everything immediately ends, but you get a lot of money.

$100 billion or I get the sweet release? Sounds like a win-win to me.

I'll take $1 trillion, there's only a 65% chance that the universe will be destroyed in the process of doing so.

That is the last option. $100 billion is far more than you could ever spend, the only reason you would do it a second time (or more) is because you wanted the world to be destroyed.

I disagree. I don't own the universe.

Perhaps it's a non-utilitarian option, but I was never utilitarian anyway.

No, I think that's all kinds of fucked up to risk everyone's life for money.

Rolled and the universe would've been erased if I took the money.

100 billion USD would place you as the 16th richest person in the world according to Forbes. Literally what are you talking about?

I voted deal in the poll. Immediately after, I used an RNG to generate a random number between 1 and 10, with 10 representing the universe exploding.

I rolled a 10.

Literally the same same result, I got a 10. It's a good thing I didn't do this

I decided to roll out of 100. Some RNGs are biased toward higher numbers, so rather than choose the 9X range, I went with X1. Why 1, I dunno, just pulled it out of a hat.

Rolled 51. Sorry everyone. Should've picked somebody luckier.
