What are you picking?
Pictured: Tweet stating "$10 million right now in your hand, but there's a catch:
I could pay someone else to put it in a strong steel box and drop it the bay
That is true and clever.
Do you remember the old coke bottles people turned into terrariums? I feel like a snail could live comfortably in one of those.
Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now
I’m assuming cannot be killed means it lives forever…
Somehow 10 million does not feel appealing knowing there is a high likelihood of death by snail.
I feel the same, I know there's a high chance I'd forget about it on the first day whilst I'm too swept up in the rush of the money. Lol.
Basically this video from Rooster Teeth.
Edit: Wow yeah apparently this is a meme on TikTok last year or something. I feel like such an early adopter to a meme.
I’d like the $$$&, but then there’s the question of what to do with the snail. Do you keep it confined but close (to supervise), or move to the other side of the world & hope it can’t work out air/sea travel?
I'm taking the cash and putting a cardboard box with holes in it over the top of the snail.
Ah, but snails can eat through cardboard. Haven’t you ever had them eating your mail?
I have not had any that have eaten my mail but if they do like the taste of paper products then an icecream container with air holes will do.
Just the overdue bills :(
It takes a snail 35 hours to travel about 700 metres, I reckon I could out-run that slimy psycho and claim the cash. They only live for a few years, so I'll hang out on my own million dollar island* until it all blows over, then I'll return to normal society.
(assuming I get the 10mil upfront?)
Depends on the snail heh..
Reminds me of this scene:
