Poll: Would you press the button

[Canadamus Prime]

What?

What kind of person would say yes to that?

'Push this button to have a better chance of getting laid at the expense of erasing millions of people.'

Millions would say yes because "Humanity sucks!" or something silly.
Although humanity is awesome and brought us amusing videos of kittens!

OT: Nope, I wouldn't press it.

Yes humanity does suck, but I'm not going to be part of the reason (or rather one of the many) why it sucks by pushing that damn button.

Besides, it's not like it'd be of any benefit to me anyway.

 

[Eamar]

What sort of sad, desperate excuse for a human being would say yes to this?

I wasn't initially going to comment since the question is so clearly ridiculous, but after seeing the result... here's hoping that 30% were trolling :S

 

[Dryk]

Don't need to, I already have a crack in my wall for getting rid of people I don't like

 

[nathan-dts]

I'd press it. If they become non-existent then myself and everyone else wouldn't care. Also, the already stated better odds of relatioships. Finally, 7 billion people in the world is too many, i'm helping the planet by taking out a few million.

 

[Twilight_guy]

So commit genocide in order to get a slightly better chance at getting laid? Well I'm not completely batshit insane so, no.

 

[Epicspoon]

Agreed that you'd have to be a total asshat to press that button.
Man up and buy a new suit.

Yeah but "Asshat" is such a fun word.

 

[Psychedelic Spartan]

I probably wouldn't, unless I knew the people who disappeared deserved it.

 

[WanderingFool]

Okay so theres this hypothetical button and you happen to be next to it.
If you press this button, 30% of (your gender)s will disappear from (your country) into nonexistence(as if they never did).
If pressing this button almost ensured youd get more attention from (the opposite of your gender) because yours was now more rare or rather just not as abundant, would you?
It may also rid the world of many people in that gender you dont like
or
It could be you?
What do you do?

So, If I press the button, there would be 30% less males in America... and I could be part of that 30%? or if I press the button, am I exempt from that?

 

[Living Contradiction]

Not only would I not press the button, I would break that sucker with a very large hammer and find the unspeakable wretch who built it for a very stern talking to.

Remove thirty percent of a gender from the planet indeed. I'll remove thirty percent of that dirty sod's body mass. With a putty knife.

 

[Daeggreth]

Hmm. I am in favour of buttons in general but if I'm interpreting the question correctly, the results of my hypothetical button pushing would be as if they never existed? While I still enjoy the odd button push for its own sake, I've moved on to more serious button pushing. Buttons that make interesting noises or dazzling lights appear, for example. (Although never both at once. That shit's for the real button addicts)

No, I think just the act of pushing a button does not, in this case, satiate me. I shall move on in search of more interesting things to push.

 

[game-lover]

Nope.

First reason? Because it could be me. And that's not worth it to me. I'm not gonna risk being erased from existence just so I can attract a guy. Pfft! Or my loved ones either.

The button makes the judgements. But if you have faith Im bettin the button will get rid of who you want.

 

[DANEgerous]

Meh i am Bi like i give a shit about attention from... i would say the opposite gender but i will just go with anyone.

People that fuck out of desperation are bad at sex and this leads to more of it, i would rather have less sex with a better chance of good sex than more sex and have it be worse.


Overall foe me it is just a no win situation i would on appearance alone want to fuck about 20-25% of all guys and 40-50% of all women and once you factor in personality cut those figures in half and one you get the one that would actually fuck me gut it in half again, so yeah overall just come out to a loss. I am just not enough of a whore to care if you want to sleep with me.

 

[lacktheknack]

So, KILL 30% OF ALL THE THINGS to make girls like me more?

...

I want to punch everyone who said "yes" in the face.

kill 30% of all people of your gender, read the post bro.

There's also other reasons to press that button depending on your gender... Rather than just to get laid, though that is obviously the main focal point.

I knew that, actually, "ALL THE THINGS" is just a Hyperbole and a Half reference where "things" = males.

And my statement still stands.

 

[OldNewNewOld]

Why would I remove a huge part of my gender when I'm gay?
NO! NEVER!!!

But I'm seriously concerned now that I see some 'yes' votes.
