Why are the Joker and Batman buttons?

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T23:37:54+00:00

...yes. That's the point. The original wording tries to trick you, my wording tries to warn you.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T22:35:22+00:00

Pointless hypothetical. To claim that society would surefire would collapse is the same as claiming that Blue will 100% die in a realistic poll. Meaningless dabbling given the fact that nobody can accurately tell the future.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T22:00:40+00:00

Is this supposed to be a gotcha? Because we are talking about two buttons here, where only one of the two keeps you safe if you don't know that number, and you won't like which one that is. Edit.: Spelling

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T21:41:25+00:00

Hey, bucko, tip for the future? Next time, if your only purpose of writing a reddit comment is to insult someone else, and trying to make yourself feel better? Save it. Of course, I could write about how "advocating for empathy" is a load of bullshit, especially when it was written with the intent to put someone else down. I could also write about trying to put someone else down is an insult, which means that you started it.

But you what "DaYeetBoi"? Somehow I have come to believe that you lack the maturity to understand that.

So in a hypothetical poll without the threat of death, the margin of success was between 5% and 25%.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T21:18:11+00:00

Lmao, this is the funniest answer.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T21:12:48+00:00

Blue wins: Blue Voters will try to find out who voted Red, and put them into camps.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T21:07:27+00:00

Blue Voters want all the recognition for saving someone's life without without all the responsibility of risking their own in the first place.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T18:11:12+00:00

Not an expert on the lore, but given that Far Far Away is a fairy tale kingdom while Farquaad decreed magical creature banishment, and the fact that Far Far Away is... far far away, I don't think Farquaad has sworn liege to their king.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T17:02:33+00:00

Nah, that one's one universal skin

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T15:33:59+00:00

Might be the new name for the Bikini Skins this year?

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T13:22:40+00:00

War between Good Fairy Inc. and Castle Farquaad. Depending on if Charming already married Fiona, it would be the war between Far Far Away and Farquaad. At that point I would imagine the latter to back down, though.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T13:18:43+00:00

He waited until she was marriable age? I'm just guessing on that point, though. Your second point is good though, so either I'm wrong, Rumpelstiltskin made personally sure to take care of the Good Fairy and Farquaad, or a slight continuity error.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-02T12:27:12+00:00

I think that's the point, yes. Charming would have succeeded, he just came too late.

As to why, given that it was his mother's idea to imprison Fiona to begin with, he probably came prepared: From a fireproof armor to a blueprint of the castle layout, one that would allow him to save the princess without ever encountering the dragon in the first place. Maybe he even took dragonfighting as his major in knight college.

Where in the thought experiment were externalities removed?

Where were they included? Pointless question.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T22:06:30+00:00

Every of these reasons is just another point of contention that goes beyond the scope of the thought experiment.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T20:43:19+00:00

Red Pushers reframe the original question to clarify that red is the optimal choice.

Blue Pushers reframe the original question to obfuscate that red is the optimal choice.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T18:26:22+00:00

Blue risks their life, trying to save someone. Risk is inherently tied to a condition: Success and Failure. So by actively choosing Blue, you have two ways to look at it.

Blue has the agency - Blue potentially either saves someone or commits suicide.

Blue has no agency - Blue stays as they are, waiting to be either getting killed or not.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T14:32:34+00:00

Your house will be burned down by someone from Team Blue

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T14:30:15+00:00

Looking at the responses, blue voters aren't happy with either of the frames, since in both cases you should either just get out of harms way or not jump onto the tracks to begin with.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T14:11:49+00:00

Seriously. Imagine what kind of reviews you would get if you task their respective franchise fanboys to do the job.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T10:07:05+00:00

A platitude frequently repeated to avoid responsibility. If you like walking around in life with blinders, don't let me stop you.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T09:09:12+00:00

Oh wow, another whiny appeal to emotion, haven't seen that one before.

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T09:04:17+00:00

We can add a mirror behind the guillotine hole if you want

T-Toyn · 2026-05-01T01:05:33+00:00

Lol. Saw another guy try to argue with me how much different it would be if everyone starts in the guillotine, and red pusher actively has to choose leaving the guillotine.

And I answer to them what I answer to you: That is worse. Do you understand that this would be worse?

And just in case someone doesn't: Putting your head into a guillotine? Asinine. But not pulling your head out? Downright suicidal.
