Anyone has the famous reddit story with the immortal snail?
There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?
Here you go, via Wayback Machine.
It's the top comment, which has since been edited.
Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Don't ise wayback machine much so the option never occured to me.
You and a super intelligent snail both get 1 million dollars, and you both become immortal, however you die if the snail touches you. It always knows where you are and slowly crawls toward you. What's your plan?
Decoy snail?
Yeah, I believe thas the comment thread I mean, but couldn't find it :(
I believe the question goes:
Would you become immortal and receive a million dollars, if the only thing that could kill you was being touched by an also immortal snail, which constantly moves toward you at a snails pace and cannot be contained or blocked by any means?
Either that, or there existed multiple versions of the question, which isn't unlikely.
How would even the most evil of snails be able to kill me if I am immortal?
Think of it as being your kryptonite.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this was a question from Gavin Free on the Roosterteeth podcast
Didn't that story originate from rooster teeth
No idea tbh
Put a glass over the snail. Put a car on top of it. Glass breaks, snail dies by accident.
I think one of the stipulations was that it couldn’t be killed
But it could be detained. So, put glass over snail. Shuffle glass to edge of table with a card to keep the snail in the glass. Turn glass over and seal with several layers of plastic wrap. Place sealed glass in a small safe. Put the small safe in a bigger safe. Pay a deep sea fishing vessel to bring you and the safe to the location of the Mariana Trench. Drop safe from boat into the trench. Have fishermen drop you off in Costa Rica, retire as a hermit living on the beach.
SNAIL IS SUPREME I AM SO SORRY
