There is a button

Instant vaporization.

What if it was a 1% chance a random person on earth would die instead of yourself? Would that change your answer?

MPAA would like a word with you.

Lots of great relies in this thread; though we are at a point in our lives were money is no longer a deciding factor for us so the answer is zero.

 

[Captante]

Sure...let's go with that.

Frankly I've had suspicions of this for awhile now!

I'd push it even faster?

WHATS IN THE BOX?

wait, wrong box

In that case, I'd press it until my finger fell off!

More money and less people in my way? I'd automate that shit. I bet you could get a robot to hit the button at least 20 times a second.

Arduino plus electro magnet.

You can probably do it with an AC solonoid coil. 60 presses a second sounds good to me!

Hot glue a stick to a subwoofer and put it near the button and let Howard Stern do his thing.

Zero. I could definitely use the money these days but it's not enough for the risk involved. I'm only 45 and in relatively good health.

Fuck yes it would. I'd mount a jack hammer over it and hire a fuel truck to keep the compressor running.

Yup, because you can only die once. If you die from the first press the next 9 presses carry no additional risk.

For each press the chance of death needs to be modified by the probability you haven't already died from the previous presses.

So 1% + 0.99x1% + 0.99x0.99x1% + 0.99x0.99x0.99x1% +... etc...

The fact that I started to actually bother to work that out in full just reinforces my feeling that I might well press the button even if there wasn't any reward on offer.

can we Monty Hall this thing and add two more buttons? (One button wins a goat)

Now what the fuck would I do with a Tom Brady? He's too old and worn out to be of much use...

Can I pick and choose who the random person would be...or at least from which country/region? Either way...I'd be all rat-a-tat-a-tat on that mofo...make the Vulcan mini-gun seem like an ancient 6-shooter...

Random, it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Hey, fucko...I can pick and choose what words actually mean. It really is the American way...

In that case, I'd press it until my finger fell off!

Wow, you are generous, letting all those random people get $50k!

Apparently I have gotten old, I now average 9.5-9.8CPS
Can only break 10-11CPS a couple times if I try really hard.
I start to cramp/hurt quickly, then I can dip as low as 7.5CPS.

Hard to recall, but I'm pretty sure I used to be able to do 12CPS regularly.
One issues is that it's harder now to hold the mouse steady while rapid clicking.

I guess I kind of cheated - I was using both index fingers on my laptop.
