The real question involves a perfect predictor, and asks whether it’s even possible to intend to only take one box. After all, when you get to that table, the money is already in the boxes. You necessarily will get either the same amount or more money by taking both, so there is no logical argument against taking both boxes.

It’s definitely a hypothetical problem that can’t really exist, but to say that that makes it nonsense seems myopic to me. Plenty of unrealistic hypothetical problems are worth thinking about.

Unfortunately it knew you would do that and already contacted the police. The moment you steal it, you get arrested

Their machine should be able to predict how dumb and irrational I am. Even if there is necessarily no downside to taking both boxes, I only take the mystery box.

If I end up taking both boxes, then the machine may or may not have predicted that. But if I end up only taking the mystery box, then I doubt the machine would have predicted that I’d take both. I’m walking away with that cool mil

The best pizza I’ve ever had is probably the Little Caesars by my old apartment. Money can’t buy the experience of getting a couple cheap zas on your way home from work, sitting down in your living room with your brother, and playing Overwatch “split screen” (two TVs next to each other) until 4 o’clock on Friday (as in 4:00 AM on Saturday)

Negligable - but for fruit trees, a fertiliser.

Mmm, nitrogen

Prophylactic feet pissing is now my favorite phrase in the English language

There was a whole community about that back on the other website. We should get a sink pissers community going on Lemmy

There are two kinds of people on earth: those who admit they pee in the shower, and fucking liars

It’s fine as long as you like your cookies with a crispy carbonized outer shell, and a raw doughy center

If it takes 20 minutes to bake them at 250 degrees, it should only take two minutes at 2500 degrees!

Fun fact: you can set that methane on fire to make the cow 10% faster

Thankfully boring. Empty wrecked SUV blocking some side street at like 4:00 am. It was a Saturday with a bunch of shootings and fights, so it took them like 20 minutes to send someone out to check on it.

I do wish I had asked to be updated with info about it. Was it stolen? Is the driver OK? No idea

I’m going to keep assuming they were nice and there’s nothing you can do about it

Gotcha, I misread your comment. I guess if immortality is not optional, I can see the appeal of at least seeing what happens to human who makes it to that unfathomable age

I’ve read enough of Wikipedia’s timeline of the far future to know that I do not want to live forever. Get back in the coke.
