The 10% stacks additively, each time you do the deal, this status is applied to a different 10%. If you sacrifice 10 fingers, the entire world is guaranteed basic human needs (food, water, shelter, clothing, healthcate, etc…)
Nobody knows you saved them. Would you do it?
If everyone knows about the fact that you can do this deal, would that change your mind?
Next Mr. Beast video is going to be crazy
If everybody has their basic needs met, the odds of getting prosthetic fingers dramatically increases. I’d be OK with that swap. Bonus: Robot Fingers.
You could have more than 10 fingers, and with updates, they will get better every year. … different fingers for different purpose…
OP, are you a billionaire trying to reframe global poverty as me being unwilling to chop my fingers off rather than you being unwilling to share your enormous wealth?
Fuck, how do these plebs keep finding out my scheme.
And the billionaires have an AI number of fingers.
If “basic human needs” includes a full working set of fingers, all ten, because then I get them back.
8 fingers, 10 digits.
How are they taking the fingers. Do they just disappear or is it something gruesome like having them chopped off? Blood is icky.
All 10 even if they have to be taken off with a hacksaw. I would be concerned about the being who could so easily do this, but has a sick desire to maim me first though.
Falls in line with the ethics of basically all known gods.
You mean, human created stories. It’s not like these beings are likely to exist.
That’s kind’ve the point. Very few of these imagined deities are even worthy of worship despite being fabricated as the “ultimate” being.
Yup.
Maybe it’s not a being, maybe you have some generic abnormality that can be exploited somehow. Bonus points if the abnormality is regeneration.
Who would answer anything but “chop em all off”? Lol. You can singlehandedly stop world hunger, and you don’t even have to give your life for it, just your fingers? A lot of praiseworthy people have given way more for way less. It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world, I wouldn’t trust any man whose immediate instinct isn’t to sacrifice their fingers…
Singlehandedly? I think you need to sacraficebfingers from both hands
It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world,
*Betterment of humanity.
And my toes too, just to be sure
id do it in a heart beat. and then get robot hands. spend the rest of my life being adored, with robot hands that can have like darts or lighters in the fingers or something.
plus, all my needs would be taken care of as a result. and the poor would be better equipped to tackle inequality further without worry of starvation or loss of healthcare and various other listed issues that currently hold us back.
Depends: for how long? 1 finger = 10% of humanity has all of their basic survival needs met forever? Done and done, take all 10. Seems like an extremely tiny price to pay to alleviate a colossal amount of suffering in the world forever, and without all those people being distracted by meeting their basic needs odds are technology is going to advance even more rapidly, along with the quality of things like medical prosthetics and neural interfaces and shit. So, yes please bring on the cyberpunk without the dystopia.
Hey—so uh—you didn’t say whose fingers were have to sacrifice. This is a no brainier.
Ah shit, you found the loophole 😁
All 10 of course. Rather keep it discreet though, don’t want anybody asking awkward questions about why I carry around bags of fingers, whose fingers they are, that sort of thing.
Can I get 8 fingers removed and leave the top 20% wealth people out in the cold. I would rather give them the remaining fingers(middle).
Well they wouldn’t be middle fingers anymore but we understand the sentiment
If I help 100% of people that means that science will advance super fast and I can get those gnarly hands from Ghost in the Shell that split into even smaller fingers and allows me to type at 7,000WPM.
I wouldn’t mind losing all my fingers if it would make the world better. It’s a small price to pay for so much.
