The type of person that is likely to take that coin flip is impulsive and reckless enough that they are also very likely to live an unsustainably extravagant lifestyle and wind up in a worse financial situation than before the coin flip within a year or two.

I'd take it. 5000000$US is more than I'll make in my lifetime, I'd have to work 166 years for that money. Living of the interest alone would be quite feasible.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Sure, if there wasn't a 50/50 chance of death I'd take it too. I'd like to think I would have the self control to invest the money wisely and live a comfortable but not extravagant life, but until I'm actually in that situation I can't say for sure. Temptation is a powerful drug.

I wouldn't do it at 99/1. I consider my life worth more than that, and money certainly doesn't buy happiness.

True, it doesn't buy happiness, but it surely helps 😄

But it does help clear out a lot of the things that make me unhappy... 😆

@Keyrock  I thought it was a good video for anyone not playing Palworld. :shifty:

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

My favorite gem from the comment section was: This thing was the epitome of "source: dude just trust me". :p 

The format is very close to the Extra Credits History videos, which are pretty well researched and put together. I also only got about 6 minutes in. :)
