    1.5 Billion? For 1.5 Billion I’d waffle stomp my neighbor and slide him underneath my police department’s door.

    I’d kill it for a billion and give the money to homeless shelters or something.

    yall might call me evil but greater good

    and this is about as ‘evil’ of an act as eating meat ngl

        Virtue ethics nonsense.

        I shouldn’t kill that mass murderer before he kills again because murder is murder and all murder is evil mmkay?

        Here it goes into hypothetical terrain.

        Save a ship with 50 people or the other further away with 100?

        Let the truck run over someone else or over you?

        So if you are given the option to steal $5 from an orphan or allow 10k people to be slaughtered and if you don’t choose it goes to 50% chance on which one happens you choose to make no choice so you don’t have to choose evil?

          I think Geraldo would steal the $5 and call it a stupid analogy because that’s not evil if he gives them $10 first.

          Of course, the funny thing about the quote is that it’s from a game that forces you to choose between evils constantly with not much in the way of creative problem solving beyond making sure you investigate beforehand.

    If the AI overlord wanted me to, I’d do it for a magical pedicure kit and a toe ring of the Splatter Skunk.“Time to pay the daddy tax,” as Princess Donut said

    I’d take it home and raise it as my own and name it Billy for the billion I gave up for it. I’d give it snuggles daily and be happy, knowing that no amount of money is going to solve whatever the fuck is wrong with me and the world we live in.

    Crushing that poor animal would be by far the least evil way anyone has ever obtained a billion dollars.

      An easy life has never been achieved for free. The rich sacrifice their humanity and pay with others’ suffering.

            Where did the billion come from?

            Oh? And where did their money come from?

            I see… And tell me more about this system of “capital” and how it functions.

            Existence is suffering or something

              Who is Notch and is it something a normal person should know about? Never sure if it is age/hobby related or that I actually have ignored something I shouldn’t have missed.

                He made Minecraft and got rich off it. Then he revealed himself to be a terrible human being.
