    The initial question is so stupid that I’m wondering if it’s a troll. 99.9% of even hardcore fans of both would obviously take the ten million fucking dollars.

    • I screen capped this myself (I know – rare) and I can assure you, the account is not a troll. Or they’ve transcended to some other plane of existence and keep trolling from there.

      And the top comments were, apart from a few people mocking them, mostly arguing between options A and B. Since comments of users with Twitter Blue show up first, that even makes sense. Many were sure you’d have those 10 million in a year or two after meeting those geniuses.

      Don’t ask me why or how. I am pondering daily if the internet maybe failed and if we should just shut it all down.

        That’s some next-level delusion, but sadly I can believe it. Although I’m certain nearly all of them would actually take the money if it were a real situation, but they either don’t realise it, or they’re “virtue signaling” to their fellow online douche fans.

        Also, 10 million in a year or two? Take it now, lol. Do they really think there are parallel timelines where the meet ‘n’ greet option is the one where’d they’d end up netting significantly more in the long run?

        For a split second I read this as “I crapped myself”. Lol.

      There’s a good chance it’s a joke, like one of those “Would I slap my mother for $10million? I would slap my mother, but I wouldn’t take the $10million because the experience I would gain would be worth infinitely more than that” posts.

        I mean, realistically my moyher would kill me on the spot if I didn’t take the 10 million just for slapping her.
