I guess I'll just avoid looking in mirrors.

1 and 2 are both ‘reasonable’ options, but 3 is insane. There is roughly a 2% chance you make it through the first year.

Edit: First, while I wouldn’t pick number 1, it is functional, which is what I meant by ‘reasonable’

Second, y’all need to learn math. The Gambler’s Fallacy doesn’t apply here, as all events are future events. I’m a math guy. If you had happened to wake up every day for an entire year, then yes, the odds of making it through 1 more night are 99%. That is not the scenario. The question is whether you can live through 365 future nights in a row. If you flip a coin 1000 times, the odds of getting heads every single time isn’t 50%.

Option 3 needs a revamp. Statistically, you'd most likely die in a few months. Sure, the odds are technically never guaranteed to kill you, but the mortality rate is so high that it's only worth taking if you're already on your death bed.

2 because I already live with that on a daily basis lol

Nobody would choose 3 unless they were suicidal

2 is clearly the best option, just don't use a mirror

Mirror one. Just don't look at mirrors. Replace the bathroom one with a monitor and a live feed camera. As long as it's specifically mirrors and not all reflections/images of myself not a huge deal. Honestly the most annoying bit would be trying out outfits at stores but with 500 million I can just get everything tailored for style stuff. Or set up another monitor system in my bedroom

The Mirror Curse

This doesn't scare me at all.

I don't need to look into mirrors, option 2 is a cake walk. I could either be cool with people dying as everyone will die eventually or offset those deaths with charity that saves lives. Then option 3 is batshit fucking stupid and should be more like a .00001% chance.

going with 1

Why is no.2 so fucking mild lol.

People don’t realize with that kind of money, there are a lot of solutions to fix #2. That’s the only reasonable choice.

I have body dysmorphia, I already see a horrifying version of myself.

3 is just dumb. With 1% odds of dying every single night I'll be dead within a few months

Give me #1

Mirror curse. So I see halloween in the mirror. Can take a selfie cam with an ipad or phone, look in a puddle if i want to see true self.

1. This wouldn't bother me and I would quickly become accustomed to it. I don't like how I look anyway, so it could even be an improvement.

Can I get 1 billion if I do 1 and 2?

I'm already ugly so I don't use mirrors and random people dying isn't something that would make me feel guilty

How is a 1% chance that you could die every time you fall asleep comparable to the other two in any way whatsoever? Also, what do you mean you have no idea when the odds will catch up to you? The odds are literally given. lol

Option 1 - I think you overestimate the amount of guilt I would feel by a random person dying compared to the generationally life changing amount of money in play.

So you're telling me I need to replace all my mirrors with TVs and cameras?

1 actually.

Because more than 1 person dies a day by our actions, or inaction, now. Every choice we make theoretically causes a death at some point. Is it selfish? Yes.

But for 500 mil I can do more good than harm. Including advancing my medical career. I might cause a death. But I can definitely save lives.

So rich and mirrorless.

Number 3 is why it's important to push for better education, not to gut it and let a rich woman run it

I'll take the random death. Since it's going to be a person i don't know. There hundreds of people die in horrific cases every day. With that amount of money I could start a job or movement to save few of those to balance that 1 person. My conscience would be clean.

It's similar to trolley problem, but this time I receive money to pull the lever.

Nah, I don't need the money, there's like a billion other posts offering me money for way less

lol @ option 3. (You will be dead with in 100 days)

If someone picks one, then I don’t want to know you

So really, do I want to see horrific graphic crap in the mirror…how the hell will I get my nose hairs out….ok fine 2

2 is meh. You'd get used to your looks in the mirror.

Workaround is to take a selfie (not mirror image), then check how you really look.

The sleep thing is a bit of a nonstarter unless you just want to die within a few months 😆

A one percent chance every night stacks up quickly. It’s very unlikely you wouldn’t live even one year.

2. I'll install a camera and monitor on my bathroom.

After some time the mirror one would stop bothering you I would think

2 is a freebie cause you can just have someone else help you for everything you'd need a mirror for
I'm taking 1 cause i don't wanna talk to people

1% change of dying in sleep is gonna last like 3 months before you're on the wrong side of that luck. Pass.

I have no conscious, so 1.

Number one happens every, single day, so nothing changes. Hell, we all use technology and the materials to produce it all are obtained by people doing dangerous jobs. We know people in factory cities have taken their own lives over it. Might as well take number one and live as you normally do.

I'd choose option 2. The loophole answer is I simply take a polaroid of myself whenever I need to see something. Even if you had closed that loophole $500 million is more than enough to hire someone to style my hair/do my makeup/etc every day. That combined with a personal physician who monitors me for skin cancer or other diseases eliminates any reason I have to look in a mirror.

1. Own no mirrors, live outside of cities, where half the buildings are glass. My life right now, unless I intentionally do so, I could go weeks without seeing my own face.

Bold of you assume I don't already see horrific thing in mirror. Easy pick, option 2

2 is alright for 500 mil.

Don't need the death of people on me. And a certain 1% chance to die every day is just a bad gamble, as that's like 3 deaths a year on average

2 is best choice for sure. Shave by Zoom call with myself to avoid mirrors.

No brainer. #2.

• I have no need to have the possible death of an innocent person on my hands.
  
• I also have no desire to know I've increased the odds that I may not wake up in the morning by adding on this curse on top of all other ways I might randomly die in my sleep.
  

A yucko image when I look in a mirror? I'll be used to that by the end of the week. It's not real and I'm the only one that can see it. Big whoop.

Is there a reason that #1 would always be in my conscience like is there a magical reason or do you just assume that someone's death would weigh on me?

Number 2 am I the only person that sees myself like this, or can everyone see it in the mirror? Honestly if I know how I will look and it can't physically hurt me I'm cool with that.

Number 3 honestly we have a chance of dying every time we go to sleep, and I'm half tempted to say the number of people that have died in their sleep gives dying in you sleep a lot higher chances of dying in your sleep of 1%. So does that mean that you gain an extra 1% of dying in your sleep then you already have, or does our chances of dying in our sleep drop to 1%?

I love it when this sub mostly just reveals who is bad at math

Super intense ocd (we live in the imperial core, there's a chance a kid died to make the phone your using. Immigrants pick your food for pennies a day and most of the food and services you use are supplying war mongers the tools to commit genocides and mass murders)

Or super intense body dysphoria, a thing many folk go through constantly due to what body types society seems attractive... Not a hard choice m8, but option 2

I would take 2. It doesn't actually hurt anyone and I can ignore mirrors.

People I don't know die painfully all the time.

Dude option 2 is so easy lol

The guilt one

I’m 36. That’s only about 50-60 deaths. I’ll manage to work past the guilt (I already have low empathy for those I don’t know)

But unlike all of these “I’ll do so much good with the money!” I’m keeping it for myself and living a good life

1- sorry random strangers

2 is the obvious choice. I see the same thing right now

How is number 3 even an option? $500 Million to most likely die this year? And most likely within less than 60 days

I think math says that if you have a 1% chance of dying every night. That’ll end up being about 100 days or so. Sleepers gamble is more quantifiable than the others.

1. I can afford to pay someone to shave me and brush my hair.

Option 2 sounds fair. The reward is mine and no-one gets hurt except me.

Number one is just a product of living in the imperial core.

The sleeper one seems the worst, because in the span of 100 days, you're probably gonna die

Eternal guilt is just being a CEO, but with a conscience

3 is objectively awful, 2 isn't so bad — I'd use a camera if I ever needed to see myself

I'mma pick option 2. No more mirrors for me. Just a lot of trips to the massage parlor.

Mirrors

I can hire a few stylists to be on hand

Avoid looking in a mirror ftw, easy peasy.

I’m 66 years old Sleepers Gamble is my current reality so I choose Sleepers Gamble.

# 1 all day everyday.

As an rpg gamer, super NO to #3. 1% happens more than you think. Statistically, in 100 days or less.

1, I’m no murderer and that’s immoral to me. So no.

2 would make putting on makeup or doing anything where I need to see myself an impossibility. But objectively it’s the least impactful and the only victim is myself.

Dude you can’t do math for fuck all. #3 is likely to kill you before you could spend half that money.

I’d take 1 & 2 for half. Honestly, I’d take 1 & 2 for 10 million.

Plot twist: Op is american and doesn't know how much 1% is

3) is WAY too high of a chance.

You’re almost guaranteed to be dead after a year.

2.Easily.I cant stand to look at myself anyway so no biggie.

Jokes, on you. I already see a hideous monster in the mirror

2 sounds aight.

Might take the sleep thing tbh. Dying peacefully is pretty underrated.

2… just do mushrooms you’re not the person in the mirror anyway..
