The 2.7 really does sell this post.

Major corporations have this problem too. They would rather burn the entire thing to the ground and bury their reputation for that sweet, sweet quick buck.

I'll just take the $19 142,105,264 times.

Are you going to risk receiving 2.7 billion instead of 7 billion? Number 1 is the safest choice.

... Wa? Sorry, I wasn't listening. 👀

Nice try, but I know 2.7 billion dollars would literally crush me.

Fuck, I actually thought thought that initially. The parsing error had higher priority than the math check. And then I discarded that line of thought as irrelevant. The human brain is amazing and you are never good enough to not make "stupid" mistakes.

$19 today is a guaranteed lunch, who knows what might happen tomorrow. Easy choice

19 > 2.7

I've heard that "time in the market beats timing the market".
So you should obviously get that money today already and just let compound interest or whatever do the rest

Double it and give it to the next person.

Now? Like now now? Tomorrow never comes so easy choice

Take the 19 and invest, compound interest is your friend, you can't make up lost time!

People in this thread expecting 2.7 billion dollars tomorrow but recieving 7 instead are in for a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, I should work on my reading comprehension. If understood it was going to be 7 billion not 2.7 billion, I definitely wouldn't have taken the $19.

$19 can purchase many donuts today

Goddamm it! I would have waited if I knew it was 7!

Why do I rush through life and miss the details every damn time?

Explain how!

Currency can be exchanged for goods and services.

If you always have $19 at any given “now”, is that an infinite money glitch?

Nice try, person with inside info about imminent catastrophic USD inflation

I could really use a pack of Zyns today, so…

Sounds like this idea could have no negative consequences!

TBF, the meme puts the dollar sign in front of $19 but spells the word out after 7 billion dollars. It's the inconsistency that could lead to misreading.

Your username might have a clue in there for you

Especially for me. The guy with all the donuts!

Hi, it's me, the next person

I'd rather get neither. It will help me focus and grind that much harder.

/S

You only have to double it 29 times! If you're real savvy, then you only have to square it three times!

They also put a space after the "1." but not the "2.".

I don't like that they started an indexed list but then they either didn't add the second option or it's mean to be the bottom text and it actually reads 7 billion and not 2.7. Like what are we doing here?

Short answer: no, if I do become billionaire, I'm going to erase all the other billionaires via assassinations justice.

Let me sleep on it

This is the same thing that they always try to get you with. Lol, like I'm some sort of sucker.

It's sort of like when they ask you, which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of gold. Lol. Like we all don't know how heavy gold is compared to feathers.

The timeline persists until you make a choice.

The money you earn for yourself is better than the money you are given for free… or something.

I like where your head is at

Drop it all into bitcoin

Math checks out

It’s true, you could die in your sleep tonight. You just never know!

What if you received your money in the form of the same dollar value worth of feathers?

If I had to maintain my current lifestyle with either 7 billion dollars or 2.7 billion dollars I don't think I would notice the difference.

Then be surprised when they give you $1.19.

Hmmm

When is tomorrow?

This feels like the premise of one of those stupid incremental games like the needles in the haystack one.

Hey man they're definitely not offering 5.04 trillion dollars.

hmm, tomorrow is a long way away but a billion can buy so much time and suffering

This is so stupid. I'm probably not even going to want any crack tomorrow.
