The fun thing about being a parent to a toddler is everybody listens and hears “blah chee maw flongjush mortop clasch” and then I’m like oh he said he’s hungry and wants a yogurt and wants to go out back to see if there are bunnies in the backyard.

@JillSAnthony It’s a boneless ribeye. It’s not that crazy if we’re being honest
English
It’s double in price from 2 years ago and it’s not just the expensive cuts of meat.
English
It’s insane that 3 ribeye at Costco are $99 dollars. Beef has become unaffordable for many Americans and there is no relief in site.

@oliveegger No better feeling than firing that up when you really need it. So damn clutch

I was initially a red button guy. Seems like the obvious, more intelligent choice. Everyone in control of their own lives. No one needs to die, just press red
However there have been so many people arguing blue that it in turn makes them correct. Way too many people are going to push blue regardless so therefore blue becomes the correct answer

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@LBknowsBall Universities will take a stronger look at top and bottom lines and everyone knows that only football and men’s basketball make any profit for universities. If they need more money they will go to places where you are net negative i.e., all other sports outside those two
English
For every $4 million quarterback that signs with a Power Four school, will there be a tennis player, a swimmer, a gymnast, someone who did everything right, losing their sport entirely?
This is where the story stops being about money and starts being about something much harder to quantify. The sports that are being sacrificed on the altar of college football aren't just line items on a budget. They are the primary pipeline feeding the United States Olympic program.

@publicinte What a take. Maybe doesn’t have no heart but pretty close
English
even if you had toddlers and they coin flip their button press, you should still pick red
English
@revenant_MMXX And therefore if you push red we know you have a mediocre IQ
English
Best IQ test this site has seen in a while. Most read it as blue being the only way to guarantee everyone's survival, but the simpler solution is for everyone to press red. Although one may press red for selfish reasons, it's also the only true guarantee of survival for anyone.

@Aneka15amyth Mid IQ. The second you think two people will push different colors, it’s obviously blue
English
@MikeDiMat @neil_chilson That’s exactly what a mid IQ would say and do

When I told my wife about this game she asked something I haven’t heard at all in the discourse: how would you tell our kids (ours are under 7) to vote?

This is an amazing post. Taken at face value, it reveals this person thinks you should make choices based on what you wish would happen, even if you feel certain about what *will* happen, in a matter of life and death. It is literally choosing death to uphold a self-narrative.

“You’re dumb because all the third worlders will choose red and kill the blues” okay so you want to live amongst third worlders now even though you’re always griping about them otherwise? lol
English
Right, because more than half of blue pushers are too stupid to connect button-pushing with choosing to die.
When you make them walk into a wood chipper or a blender or off a cliff, suddenly they realize “oh yeah, I could die if I choose this”
Ta-Nehisi Quotes@steady_drumbeat
Great example of where abstract game theory breaks down. Normal people will push blue, normal people won’t jump into a wood chipper!
English
if you actually ran the crosstabs on this, I would be shocked if the people who *actually* risk their lives for others regularly (military, police, fire, etc) weren't majority red button voters

@gfodor No, you failed to understand what this was a poll OF. "Do you identify as someone willing to take risks for the good of the whole, or as selfish" You want blue button neighbors, you want your mom to meet a blue buttoner when she breaks down late at night. You're welcome!

@akafaceUS That was the most boring, edge of my seat video I’ve ever seen. Really diabolical to the brain.
