The 10% stacks additively, each time you do the deal, this status is applied to a different 10%. If you sacrifice 10 fingers, the entire world is guaranteed basic human needs (food, water, shelter, clothing, healthcate, etc…)
Nobody knows you saved them. Would you do it?
If everyone knows about the fact that you can do this deal, would that change your mind?
Next Mr. Beast video is going to be crazy
How are they taking the fingers. Do they just disappear or is it something gruesome like having them chopped off? Blood is icky.
No. Humans had their chance. Let humans go extinct. Now is the era of the otter.
Every single finger. I’d give my arms and legs too if it would help. Once the world was fixed I might want to take part in it again too, if nobody knew it was me. If it was public knowledge that I did it though, I’d probably keep being a hermit. I do not like attention or people knowing who I am.
And my toes too, just to be sure
If “basic human needs” includes a full working set of fingers, all ten, because then I get them back.
8 fingers, 10 digits.
id do it in a heart beat. and then get robot hands. spend the rest of my life being adored, with robot hands that can have like darts or lighters in the fingers or something.
plus, all my needs would be taken care of as a result. and the poor would be better equipped to tackle inequality further without worry of starvation or loss of healthcare and various other listed issues that currently hold us back.
Who would answer anything but “chop em all off”? Lol. You can singlehandedly stop world hunger, and you don’t even have to give your life for it, just your fingers? A lot of praiseworthy people have given way more for way less. It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world, I wouldn’t trust any man whose immediate instinct isn’t to sacrifice their fingers…
Singlehandedly? I think you need to sacraficebfingers from both hands
Every conservative.
It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world,
*Betterment of humanity.
If those 10% were picked completely at random, then it’s not obvious to me that this would be a good thing. It would effectively increase wealth inequality in the world, where 10% of any population is given something the rest don’t have. That kind of disparity builds resentment and could, in the long run, end up causing more harm than good. If there’s a poor village where nearly everyone is struggling, and suddenly 10% of the population has their basic needs guaranteed, they’d instantly become the “rich guys” of that village. You’d need to do it for the whole village - but then the same issue arises when people in the next village start resenting yours, and so on.
Either way, I’d give 0–2 fingers. I could probably live a perfectly normal life without my pinkies, but I’m not going to pretend I’d definitely go through with it - even if, from a strictly rational perspective, it’s kind of a no-brainer.
hm… Five fingers.
Ten right away, and then another as often as there’s a 10% turnover in world population.
Hey, you never said they had to be my fingers.
I also choose some other guy’s fingers.
OP, are you a billionaire trying to reframe global poverty as me being unwilling to chop my fingers off rather than you being unwilling to share your enormous wealth?
And the billionaires have an AI number of fingers.
Fuck, how do these plebs keep finding out my scheme.
Do the needs stay satisfied, or is it going to be like 2 years later we have billionaires and starvation again?
Damn, these earthlings are getting too intelligent with their knowledge of contract laws.
Fuck yes dude, chop my hands off. I’m in one of those 10%
Agreed, take all ten fingers, 100% of everyone’s needs met, including my need for fingers
I will sacrifice 10 of my premium fishfingers and 10 of my precious ladyfingers. You are welcome.
