The Snail Hypothetical 🤔

If you take the $10 million, you’ll spend the rest of your life being chased by a poisonous snail. Now, it might sound like a good deal, but the snail never stops moving. And if it touches you, you die. It knows where you are. It’s always coming and it will arrive eventually. Now, you could move countries and switch hotels every few nights, but if you slip up just once, the snail wins. It can’t be killed. It doesn’t age and it never forgets. So, would you take the money if it meant a lifetime of paranoia?

  1. You cannot just live in two homes.

    “The snail never forgets”

    Implying it can memorize what you do and essentially plan.

    After 22 years it’ll catch on.

    You move.

    10 years after moving you move back

    Then somewhere along the next lap of 10-12 years it’ll realize that you moved/are moving back to the other home. It can then wait for you accordingly. You have time but you can’t keep this up for longer than that before you have to change locations and can no longer attempt using the “back/forth” as there’s a chance you get caught in a trap

  2. The zionist terrorist organization israel just killed Anas Al-sharif. They bombed his tent directly to silence his reporting on the genocide in Gaza. Wake the F up!!!

  3. So like anybody just thought about putting it in a medal box then throw it in the ocean

  4. send the snail to the sun to stay there for eternity. you jever said he couldnt feel pain

  5. Live life like a romanticized Courier 6 from fallout new vegas just going from place to place. If it's always moving, then so will I.

  6. 1 Million to design an air gapped solid steel self contained chamber. I'd sleep like a baby, and leap out of the chamber like a cheetah.

  7. For those saying to have two homes continents apart, that's assuming the snail couldn't hitch a ride in planes or boats. You dont know where it is and how near or far it is from you so. That would put you in constant paranoia which would inevitably what's going to kill you.

  8. Some people (including me): No thanks, I don’t wanna die😅
    100 years old man: I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT THAT 🙂
