YeahâŠsorry, but people who say that donât understand how big a billion is.
I mean I get it, you can pretend like thereâs a list of things you would and wouldnât do for billions of dollars for the memes, but at the end of the day anyone seriously offered it would take it regardless of what they think theyâd do hypothetically.
Weâre talking everyone youâve ever cared about and everyone you ever could care about could be financially set for life and retire immediately, and youâd still have hundreds of millions of dollars to help the charities or causes of your choice. Youâd take a pic of a polar bear for that and frankly nothing you say on the internet is going to convince me otherwise lmao

Can't spend it if you're dead. So it doesn't mater just how big a billion is as 1,000,000,000 is as useful as 1 to a dead man. That billion will also still be right where the dead man left it, in the middle of a frozen wasteland if not at the bottom on the ocean making it still worthless to your next of kin or anyone else.

What a bizarre set of assumptions and mental gymnastics to avoid the obvious lmao.
But regardless, if you think someone was going to hand you a billion dollars in the middle of the arctic you DEFINITELY donât understand how much a billion dollars is lmfao, so at least we confirmed that much

Bro, you don't take your money with you to the grave. All the money in the world ain't worth my life.

Giving financial security to everyone I care about and ever could care about forever along with having hundreds of millions of dollars to give to causes I care most about is most definitely worth my life. And frankly I think anyone who feels otherwise is being unbelievably selfish, but thatâs just me.

That's fair but your earlier comment was "you don't understand how much a million is", not "you should be more altruistic".
People know it's a lot of money.
Also, assuming one went through with that - and you're imo overestimating the courage and selflessness of humans, plus I disagree with your assertion that they're bad people if they don't literally die in this scenario, but I digress - IF you went through with that you'd have to have all the legal stuff set up first to make sure the money went where you want it, not just got taken away because "well you're dead now, that sucks".

No thatâs what Iâm saying!! Itâs BILLIONS with a B, not millions. I know itâs like âyeah thatâs a lot of money, millions billions whateverâ but thatâs because you really understand how big of a number it really is, itâs hard thing to grasp
And I feel like weâre just being pedantic now, I shouldnât have to qualify it with âif all the legal stuff is sortedâ, it should be understood that no oneâs risking their life for billions of dollars on a handshake. Like, what are we even doing here? This is getting silly.

You just totally ignored the entire main point of my comment, like didn't touch on it even a little bit, so yeah, definitely getting silly
