      You gotta be sure, you know? Does it actually shock you? How bad does it hurt? Cant be too dangerous, right? Maybe you’ll even like it, you won’t know for sure unless you hit the button.

          You were probably referencing this, but just in case…

            How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine?

        Then, a few minutes later, you start to wonder again.

        Remember that reaction game where you got shocked if you weren’t first to hit the buzzer? We all played that for funsies.

      It’s not like they were going to apply a shock that would do damage. Fuck it.

        Right? People who are like ‘lol men r dumb’ are the dumb ones. It’s a social experiment, now a Saw puzzle.

          Yeah its a low risk experiment. On par with poking an animal corpse with a stick, it makes sense that a solid number of men would immediately go with poke it with a stick. Also it kinda makes sense from an evolutionary point of view that men would be more prone to checking things that are low risk out, one man can make a lot of babies at a time while one woman can only make one baby at a time.

          I am now curious if the rate is similar for tans folks.
