If you could win 40 billion dollars by losing 30 years of your life
    #22214754 - 09/09/15 10:45 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

as in, if you are 20 now,  you would become 50 but for this you would get 40 billion dollars.  Would you do it?

Yeah, I'd do it.

At the rate I'm going in my life, the next 20 years won't be anything memorable. The last 20 hasn't been anything great.

I'd have to say no..but that's not an easy no. I've never met an elderly person that didn't stress to me how much they cherished their youth, and being in my 20s myself, I wouldn't want to feel like I took it for granted when I'm old. If I could spend some of that money on some super elite technology capable of reversing the aging process, of course, I'd do it in a second :lol:. I can't imagine how awesome it must be to be a billionaire..being able to buy your own huge island, flying anywhere anytime, not giving a fuck about anything, bribing your way out of any possible legal troubles, hosting the most badass parties, having the power to change the world for the better, gettin allll the bitches..god damn. It's something I day dream about way too often, I need to work on that :lol:

Yes. Then I'd spend 20 billions to put me into stasis for 30 years. I now have my 30 years back. Problem?

Why just replace the organ? With 40 billion you could turn them into a cyborg who could possibly live forever.

That's a really hard question.

I'd say no but if the last 30 years of my life got cut off rather than being turned into an old man, I'd think about it REALLY hard,

Dude... id be like.. lines... marijuana... alcohol.. amphetamine...  moderate usage of all except with the marijuana and sometimes alcohol.. maybe drunk here and there a bunch for a month .. I usually go a few months then start drinking a bunch again then go a few months.. then start again a bunch.

I would limit any cocaine usage to like special events.. maybe once a year for a week or a month or something like that.. however I have enjoyed abusing amphetamine much more than cocaine. I'm not a big fan of cocaine. I really have to be in the mood for it now days. It's been a long, long, long ass time since I have ever touched cocaine.

Nope. As long as I have enough money to survive on my terms, I don't feel a need for more. My terms aren't anywhere near 40 million either...

you never said how i lose those 30 years. so i'll loophole this bitch,


i blacked out the next 30 years, one day wake up and be like yo what the flying fuck happened, i'm old as balls, and loaded. i have so much cocaine.


10/10 challenge accepted

hold up i have an even better idea. i age rapidly 30 years in 20 seconds, acquire 40 billion, hit up reptilian overlords with 20 billion for cyborg body,  then live harder, better, faster, stronger than ever, and still have 20 billion


because cyborg, live another 400 years, while investing money wisely, now have 17 trillion $



use said money for bio tech rejuvenation to get a fully fleshy human body again. with healing qualities rapidly, nano tech for immortality. aka get shot in the face and have the blown out face structure re-atomize itself back to normal.



use riches and future smarts and tech to build multiverse travel machine


travel to an alternative universe where i happened to accidentally get killed, and take my dead self's place with future body that i tweak to the same age and look, and still have 40trillion dollars. live like king for the rest of eternity



BOOM MOTHAFUCKA WHAT.

nah dawg, srs. the only down side is i have to live a really long god damn time and watch everyone i love die.


but i get to see them again cause multiverse.


but i guess other downside is immortal. so possibility for eternal boredom


:hmm:


but then again, i'd have the unique opportunity to have sex with everyone who ever lived or will ever live in the multiverse....



but then again, i might fall in a fucking volcano and be in an eternal struggle of melting and re-atomizing...


:hmm:


i could set aside a few thousand years or so to setting up safety nets for just about every possible fucked up scenario to stop it from happening, and then erase my memory of all that time.


thus having an epic life and never ending up in a shitty situation.


but then again, i'd probably run into other versions of myself in the multiverse that are fucking dicks, and get raped by alien octopus monsters for eternity...


or is that a good thing?


shit nigga i have alot to think about.

You really trust the reptilians to honor your proposition, or to even accept it at all?

The queen will have you roasted for dinner the minute you show up at Buckingham palace to ask her for a deal. Reptilians love BBQ billionaire.

Absolutely not and anyone who would is a fool or a hero, a fool if they do it for selfish reasons, a hero if they do it to use the money to help others and save the world.

I would take the money. Give a chunk to a worthy charity and leave the rest for my kids. I'd probably spend most of the rest of my life travelling on lots of acid. I'd need a private jet..

If I had kids, I'd consider the offer more. But I don't know how my kids would feel having their father get older and possibly die faster. Or being out of their life for a long period of time.

IMO, it mattes how this is done. Is it you just magically turn 30 years older, you'll die 30 years sooner than if you didn't take the deal, or will you just wake up 30 years later, with the money(you'd also be 30 years older).

Anyone who had that kind of money would be desperate to buy 30 years with it when they were dying.

If you had a trillion dollars and your doctor told you you had a year to live, you would give him every cent in a second.

So to sell 30 years for money is idiocy, you will be desperate to buy those years back when your time comes but wont be able to.

You can make money with time, but you cant make time with money, therefore time is infinitely more precious then money.

Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams, falling in love, realizing you want to spend every second of your life with this woman... but you sold 30 years and can't get them back. You could have had a whole lifetime of joy together in 30 years. You could have meditated for 30 years and become enlightened, or traveled the world for 30 years. And you would be selling your best years, your healthy years, your vital years, and jumping right to being a rich old fuck.

hold up i have an even better idea. i age rapidly 30 years in 20 seconds, acquire 40 billion, hit up reptilian overlords with 20 billion for cyborg body,  then live harder, better, faster, stronger than ever, and still have 20 billion


because cyborg, live another 400 years, while investing money wisely, now have 17 trillion $



use said money for bio tech rejuvenation to get a fully fleshy human body again. with healing qualities rapidly, nano tech for immortality. aka get shot in the face and have the blown out face structure re-atomize itself back to normal.

I would be a hero. With 40 billion I would raise a private army to invade China to rid the world of communism once and for all. If there was any left over I'd then invade Argentina just because the Brits never really finished the job there after the Falklands thing.

Anyone who had that kind of money would be desperate to buy 30 years with it when they were dying.

If you had a trillion dollars and your doctor told you you had a year to live, you would give him every cent in a second.

So to sell 30 years for money is idiocy, you will be desperate to buy those years back when your time comes but wont be able to.

You can make money with time, but you cant make time with money, therefore time is infinitely more precious then money.

Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams, falling in love, realizing you want to spend every second of your life with this woman... but you sold 30 years and can't get them back. You could have had a whole lifetime of joy together in 30 years. You could have meditated for 30 years and become enlightened, or traveled the world for 30 years. And you would be selling your best years, your healthy years, your vital years, and jumping right to being a rich old fuck.



Not everyone cares about living forever and you forget that this decision is a decision, not unfortunate life circumstances. With the money I could do all the things in the world that would make me happy and leave a legacy worth remembering. That is true immortality, because it lies in people hearts instead of before their eyes.

No because I don't even spend the extra money I have now. I'm happy as can be.... money doesn't buy happiness, its a means to an end... sure if you want luxurious things, fast cars, big houses, etc.... then sure, you'd probably enjoy that money

But me?

NAh. I'm a simple guy and I like the simple things. Just give me some friends, some weed and some beer and a bonfire and I'm golden
