Social Experiment:

Imagine that you have just bought a 24" (or whatever widescreen) HD flatscreen monitor/tv 1080p or whatever the best resolution is these days. You spent 500$~ on it and got a super good deal but there is no return or exchange.

Then Jesus or whoever comes down and freezes time and tells you that this is going to happen and you can't stop it.
http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/806681/fbec01c2/kat_pwnd_eigenaar.html

You can save the monitor if you let it happen, but if you don't; your only option is to get out of the way and the monitor breaks and is unfixable. Do you take the hit? (don't try to circumvent the options or defeat the situation by saying something retarded.)

Poll: Take the hit and save the monitor
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No




+ Show Spoiler +
Me personally would take the hit. My face will heal, my wallet doesn't. I'd do some math and figure out how many hours I slaved in order to buy the thing and weigh it against pain/healing time. Most likely the pain/healing is more endurable than the days it took to work for this thing. I'm probably more likely to try and defeat a mugger than just easily give away my shit too.


..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I said you can't change the outcome... You either have to let it hit your face or it breaks, no other choice.

I don't really watch TV, so I'd let it fall.

Other way around...if you lose an eye or something you're not getting it back. $500 just takes a little overtime to fix.

edit: nm, watched the video, didn't notice we were including monitors. I'd still let it fall. Like I said, you could lose an eye.

I would take the hit, at worst I would have a bloody nose or perhaps a bruise, and if I got $500 for every single one of those I've ever had, I'd be a rich man.

Hard to tell how painful that would be. Even LCD screens get damn heavy when they are that big, so that could potentially smash your face up pretty badly. No way am i gonna take $500 for me to break my nose/lose teeth, but if it's just a nasty bruise, then sure, bring it on.

When I drop ceramic cups, I purposefully break their fall with my foot. So, yes, I'd take the hit.
My strategy is to fork people.

Same scenario as OT except this time you are at a female friends place that is smoking hot and you wanted to bang forever. She has an old TV that was a gift by her recently deceased grandfather. If you take the hit you break your nose but she will be so thankful for saving the TV that she's gonna sex you. If you don't she'll never talk to you again but your nose is fine.

Social experiment #3

Same scenario as OT except this time if you take the hit all cats would be cured from a deadly disease and thus be saved from extinction - however you will get crushed by the TV and die. Will you take the hit and sacrifice yourself for all those cute kittens?
