$200,000 - which if you consider that it was 1980s money, makes Mr. Beast’s $10,000 look very small.

By “originally meant to” I think you are referring to the short story it was based on ending that way.

A despondent Norma asks the stranger why her husband was the one who was killed. The stranger replies, “Do you really think you knew your husband?” strongly disapproved of the Twilight Zone version, especially the new ending

Frankly I find the twilight zone ending more chilling and suspenseful. The “do you think you really knew your husband” line is kinda sad trombone.

I believe the idea is that if you push the button, it goes on to someone else. If they DON’T push the button, they get skipped. It goes to someone else besides them. And so on, until SOMEONE does push the button. And at that point, the last person who pushed the button gets iced.

And so in that way, every person who pushes the button inevitably gets killed, removing selfish people from the world while morally upright people get passed over.

This isn’t detailed in the episode, it’s just my mind filling in between the lines.

This is an old twilight zone episode. A women is given a box with one button on it and told to press it is she wants the money, but someone she doesn’t even know will die.

She decides the push the button, and then someone comes to collect the button device, saying that it will now be reset and taken to someone else now for the same challenge. Some random person on earth. Implying that she will be the next to die if the button gets pushed.

Frankly not a bad system. Slowly cleanses the selfish from the earth.

We usually only talk about stage 3 of enshittification but in stage 1 the product is amazing and affordable.

Among other things, you are there to ensure the heterosexuality of the event for them, so they can explore each other a little bit without fear of commiting. They sound like trad guys and trad guys are raised to think that sexual identity is all or nothing and that if they let in even a little bit of gay their entire identity will shatter. It’s sad that the culture does this to them - they do it to each other, really. Have patience. Let them go at their own pace. Exactly as you would with any partner, with any sexual experience.

This tweet does not understand the difference between libido and erection. I’m happy for him that he’s so ignorant. I wish the same for all of you, truly.

Because erectile dysfunction is when you’re plenty horny but the flag keeps going up and down anyway. ED pills do not make you horny, they help your vascular system direct the blood where it needs to go to keep the flag raised. They only work when you are already aroused.

When you take one before date night, you might feel a little flushed but that’s it. You don’t immediately get hard out of nowhere. Your nutsack tyrant doesn’t materialize next to you with a hammer and whip like a demon ready to slave drive you into machismo.

Pourquoi pas les deux?
