365*80 = 29,200
29,200*3 = 87,600.

In an average life, you would be kicked in the balls eighty-seven thousand, six-hundred times.

No thank you.

Now count the hours you spend at work, going to work or doing other unpaid chores in a lifetime.


I enjoy every single second I don't get kicked in the balls, so that'd be say 10hours a day x 365 = 3650 that times 80
= 292000 hours of happiness and inner peace.

What if you don't have balls? Can I still qualify for the $500 million?

Thanks to nerve potentiation from repeated stimuli, these ball-kicks would become more and more painful over time. Sure, you'll learn strategies for coping with pain psychologically, but in the long run that will be outweighed heavily by your nerves becoming more and more sensitive over time. Add to that the fact that you won't be able to properly relax until you've met your daily quota, and your demeanor will make people around you nervous. The long-term effects of the stress will cause you to age faster too, but I guess if you had $500M you could afford all sorts of treatments to prolong your life.

How long does it hurt?

Most likely you're losing like 2-3h a day. Massively less than the time you'd lose working and earning the money.


2-3 hours a day? Getting kicked in the balls does not hurt so much that you lose anywhere remotely near 1-1.5 hrs, unless it happens so regularly that the nerves become hypersensitive.

Aren't there martial artists who let themselves get hit in certain areas a lot so that over time that area becomes really strong and nearly immune to the affects of getting hit? In this is true and not just some fake crap I saw then it can't be that bad to get hit three times a day.


Well, nerves can be deadened from impacts, yes. I've dramatically reduced the pain felt in my legs and knuckles from martial arts training. But they are deadened from frequent mildly painful stimuli such as kicks or punches to heavy bags, not trees or walls. By sparring for years without a cup I also took quite a few hits and don't feel that much pain from hits to the balls anymore. So it could be done, yes.


So you are saying it will become more painful and less painful at the same time? That seems a bit contradictory to me.
To me it just seems most logical that you would feel less and less pain unless three kicks a day is too much for the body to ever heal. Then I guess you would just die after a while since your balls would just degenerate until you bled to death :O
So either you end up not feeling much at all, or you die. But either way you get the money so that is nice.

It is a straight forward dilemma: Many dollars for ballkicks with extreme pain which can make big man cry and vomit.
That's it. There are no loopholes of any kind. Take it or leave it.

What moron wouldn't take $500M? For $500M you can cut off my balls with a can opener.

think the answer is no, you just wouldnt be allowed to operate a normal life would you. unless there is some evidence to suggest that you actually get used to it. How would you do anything? Drive, eat, just simply walk anywhere . . there willalways be the chance of being brought to your knees!

I enjoy my work and can live off it comfortably, so definitely no. Sadly, that does not apply to everybody.

The original 3 kicks a day is much more severe than castration by can opener.

It sounds like it would be worth it I mean that is ALOT of money but honestly in the long run probably not, I've only been hit in the balls once in my life and it was from a thrown football and it was the most excruciating thing I've ever experienced pain wise.

Also you get kicked at a random time in the day so you could go from having the best day of your life to crying in the fetal position at any moment, not fun.

There is no way I would take this deal. There's a lot out there that indicates after you have the necessities of life met, additional money does very little to add to your happiness. As somebody who lives comfortably already, I'm not sure how much having 500 million would really do to improve my quality of life and mind. I do know that excruciating pain to start and then randomly throughout every day would cause me constant stress and anxiety. The anticipation would drive me nearly crazy and I would only be at peace after my third kick of the day, and even then I would be already dreading falling asleep.

It's just horrific. You can't just count up hours of pain vs hours of work or something. For one, work can be rewarding and at the very least is much preferable to rolling around in pain. And it isn't just hours of pain, it's hours of waiting for that pain, never sure when it will strike.

this is stupid, sooner or later a spontaneous kick in the balls will turn deadly. Most likely, you'll choke, crash, fall, or make any number of other dumb mistakes because you got distracted when you really needed to focus.

So a discussion revolving around getting a huge load of money for random nut-kicking thrice a day on the internet is stupid????

Mind. Blown.

Do you want the rest of your life to be all about preparing for, coping with and mitigating spontaneous nut pain?

No thx.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

money can't buy you happiness though. Eventually you will get bored of all the cool shit money can buy you and the only thing you will have left is getting kicked in the balls.

I spin fire poi.

Fire poi is two chains, each with a round ball of kevlar wick.

I have hit myself in the balls so many times through years of practice that it really doesn't phase me anymore.
