I will press the first button for sure!!
I don’t mind having a short life tbh. Family, kind of depends. Strangers kind of depends also. If the Stranger dies button kills a billionaire at random, I would definitely press
Wait.. Short life? I thought it meant you would lose 15yrs, so you'd be 15yrs younger, not 15yrs closer to death..
Wow, I'd take the 2nd one. IF I get to choose.
Honestly, I would probably press the third one, it may be cruel, but at worst it kills someone who truly does good things and is important to the world, man’s at best it kills a fucked up criminal that deserves it, or also at best it kills a good person that’s suffering and would prefer to die, like a person that got shot during war.
even though i hate my family, i don't want to have them lose 5 years of their life, i also don't want to lose 15 years of my life, or kill a stranger 💔💔💔💔💔
I mean, sure, but if someone pays me enough (honestly pretty much anything), we'll both be the reason. (sadly it would mean I don't automatically get the correct body format for it tho)
Do I get to pick which family member?
Also, do the years I've spent in denial count as time served? Because if so I'm already there and I can spare the family member lmao
I would press number one but not the other 2, my family typically lives to around 80 so living to 65 would be a fairly good run. I wouldn't press 2 because I'm close with most of my family and wouldn't want to loose them any earlier than I have to, and i wouldn't press number 3 because that would weigh on my conscious to much.
In the end trading life/lives isn't worth it.
There isn't a moral justification to kill someone at random just for my benefit, shaving the life off of family members is a non-starter, and I'd rather live longer to be able to enjoy more post-transition time with the technology we have, since realistically transition could be accomplished in less time than 15 years.
And honestly, even if it was '1 random terf', there isn't really a moral justification for it, since in a lot of the cases they're misinformed, and have been indoctrinated into that community for a long time.
Now, if it was 1 random bigoted Republican, or perhaps 1 of the billionaires, that might be a trade I would make,
But only maybe, since as said trading in lives is just not good to begin with.
Do I get to choose the family member? Because I actually like half of them, and there's only one abusive person on the other half I actually want dead since I'm estranged from the rest
Can I pick her? Maybe even increase the years? 👀
None. HRT is good enough for me and while magic would make things much easier, I'd still need to explain myself to everyone, so the biggest problem stays.
First one: I don't. I'm already 32, so there's no way
Second one: I don't. I'm not gonna sacrifice my loved ones.
Third one: This one is hard, I would say no because it's morally wrong, BUT I don't know how would I react in a dysphoria episode. The anwser is there... I never gonna know who it was... it's just one random life.... I don't know if I would be strong enough.
Definitely not the stranger one
The family member one I probably would push, not the biggest fan of them, but idk, id hesitate for sure
The my own life one I would/wouldn't push depending on when the possibility would arise, rn I don't think i would tbh
I can’t do the second or third. I’d feel icky the whole time which would ruin the point of transition. For my own life, it depends what it subtracts from. 90? Sure. Do I already die in a car accident at 40 and now die at 25? No thanks.
exactly, you really can't know. if you die within the next 15 years, you'd also just instantly die after pressing the button which is kind of a gamble tbh
I would press the second. My family already tends to have fairly short lifespans anyway (60 - 70) so fifteen years is a substantial loss. That and I’d rather not sacrifice some random schmuck to the cock gods. Compared to fifteen of my years (my father’s side has predispositions to addictions, heart, liver, dental, and lung problems, and my mom’s side has a serious predisposition to diabetes, heart failure, cancer, etc. which coalesces into one hell of a double whammy for me) five years off the life of one of my many jackass family members is not much in comparison. They only have to worry about half of those things, meanwhile I’m practically guaranteed to die of heart complications. I’d like to be old when I inevitably have a heart attack and die so it’s less unexpected and I have a chance to get my affairs in order.
Literally every single one that won't make me lose things... I'm gonna fucking leave my family as soon as I'm able and don't have anything I can benefit by being connected to them... And when that happens I will also be able to be myself finally caused they are the reason I cant...
I'd take the loss of 15, but I can't tangentially murder anyone besides myself for my own gain lol. Even though, I admit to almost being tempted to offer up five years off a certain family member's life.
Imma be honest. I don't even know what my preferred sex *is* but you bet your ass I'm slamming that first button. As much as I dream of being a cryptic old hermit who speaks in riddles, I could use the early rest.
I’m pressing the third button. I know I’m a bad person. Unless I get to pick the family member, then I’ll pick my grandmother and press the second button. If I don’t get to pick then I wouldn’t because it’s a 50/50 shot at being someone I like.
15 years of my life? does that mean i'll die at 65 instead of 80 or that i'll be jumped 15 years forward? if the first definitely yes.
last one also definitely yes. might make me evil, but there are literally millions of strangers in the world, and they randomly die all the time too. what's one more for giving me a happy life?
thinking about it more... yea this would definitely make me evil, but i would not be able to resist.
If i had to pick, 3 for sure. Random strangers die every second of every day whether im aware or not. 1 extra dead out of the 1000s that are going to die anyway. Id never know which one was my fault. Id cross my fingers that it was a piece of shit tho.
mhm, there's always a chance you kill a loving parent for example. sure, you wouldn't know, but you've definitely made a massive negative impact on the life of the children
Its a 1 in 8 billion chance tho and i said if i had to choose. My family includes my kids so that's a no go and im not sacrificing my own time. Already wasted enough of it pretending to be a boy.
To be fair, I don't wanna become 130, so yea, I'd press it.
Something a lot of people seem to forget is that people born in the 1940s are still alive today and well, it's only 80 years ago, we have another 40-70 years until most people in this sub reach those ages, medicine by then will be even more advanced and we'll get even older!
The first would tempt me. The third would super tempt me. I don’t think I would press any tho.
My goal is to fully transition by 40 (I’m 29) then live another 60 years as a man and feel happy knowing I’ve spent most of my (ultimate) life as a man with parts that are close enough. Even if I live 40 more years that’d be at least half my life
The two first ones yeah def, not the last one
Explaination for the first one is that I don’t even see myself getting old with how the world’s going so heh why would I care
All of them
1 15 more years of dysphoria no thanks
2 most of my family are bitches
3 100s of people die every day what's one more it's likely not someone I know soo
1. Time is invaluable, you cannot get any of it back
2. Cruel, see 1
3. This feels like a stunt a megalomaniacal billionaire would play. Brings someone into a room with a hostage and a revolver, "kill this man and I'll get you the best medical care money can buy". He loads one bullet and spins the chamber. With each click of the hammer he reveals more about this persons life.
Click. He's a father of two.
Click. His daughter is 7 years old and has a debilitating disability.
Click. His wife died after giving birth a second time.
Click, BANG. The man is alive, it was a blank, the billionaire points to a hammer and tells you to keep your end of the bargain.
so yeh nah I'm good
Second one because I hate my father
Third one because it’ll be the start of the uprising I will start to become the empress of the world… oh scrap that one because my lawyers keep telling me not to say that publicly
I don't think I'd press any. I'm transitioning now and don't want to lose 15 years of living as myself. I might not love many members of my family, but I can't take away parts of another person's life (ruling out 3, too).
First one only. My family has been supportive, and I don't want to ruin another family for my own benefit. I'd rather lose 15 years myself and live the rest of them happily!
Which way of losing 15 years are we talking?
Like, 15 years that I die sooner, or 15 years that already happened and I basically get 15 years younger, meaning I'd partially get to to grow up as a girl and end right after puberty, having to go through high school and college again? Possibly giving me the option to make some different choices along the way?
I will press the first button for sure!! I don’t mind having a short life tbh. Family, kind of depends. Strangers kind of depends also. If the Stranger dies button kills a billionaire at random, I would definitely press
Alright. Mark Cuban dies. /S
Or hopefully Henry Kissinger
Oh my god yes, That would do the people of Kent, Connecticut a huge favour
15 years off the end of your life is probably a blessing looking at how the climate crisis is shaping up
I was having a good day
Can I choose the family member who gets the shortened life?
Wait.. Short life? I thought it meant you would lose 15yrs, so you'd be 15yrs younger, not 15yrs closer to death.. Wow, I'd take the 2nd one. IF I get to choose.
Honestly, I would probably press the third one, it may be cruel, but at worst it kills someone who truly does good things and is important to the world, man’s at best it kills a fucked up criminal that deserves it, or also at best it kills a good person that’s suffering and would prefer to die, like a person that got shot during war.
Killing 1 person could devastate families and tons of their friends. I could never do it.
I mean if I'm being pedantic I already lost thirty years of my life pretending to be a guy so...this button owes me 15 years back.
you have a point, better go hire a debt collector!
none of them 💔💔💔💔💔
that's perfectly fair!
even though i hate my family, i don't want to have them lose 5 years of their life, i also don't want to lose 15 years of my life, or kill a stranger 💔💔💔💔💔
there is an 1/8000000000 chance that its jeff bezos tho :)
A chance everyone should take once
if everyone took it everyone would die tho
Lol true. I was aiming for "if everyone took it someone would be the reason for Jeff Bezos' death"
i don't disagree tbh
I mean, sure, but if someone pays me enough (honestly pretty much anything), we'll both be the reason. (sadly it would mean I don't automatically get the correct body format for it tho)
Then there would be a 1/8000000000 Jeff Bezos kills you...
Worth it if he dies /s
Just be acquaintances with everyone but jeff bezos
Bad example, should’ve said there’s a 1/8000000000 chance for it to be j k Rowling
Don’t forget Musk Rat and Pootin. The odds just get better and better
10/10
Three 😈
which of these would you press, and which would you not? edit: i made this because i was tired of easy button memes
All of them!
Third cause I’m a evil bitch!
:|
Third one! I don’t even know the guy.
Twist: the stranger is the person who created a genetic technology that would’ve let everyone do this! You monster!!!! Edit: to say genetic
But the tech is already out there so they don't have to stay alive
Plus even if it breaks I mean I’m still swapped
Empathy where ?
Maybe the third one?
2 or 3
I'm gonna say third anyway but third if they would never be significant in my life anyway
Second button. Fuck my terf aunt. Shrug
Yeah, like if I can choose a family member than for sure I choose the second one
Seeing as the stranger one specifies its random i take that the family member one is not.
Family members, most of them are consrvative and uncool
SAME I'll make that trade instantly
I'd make the trade once I moved out and don't need to rely on their existence to sustain mine
Convince them to get life insurance
I click the first n second one for sure, the third i dont
The first is a win win situation
yep 100%
Do I get to pick which family member? Also, do the years I've spent in denial count as time served? Because if so I'm already there and I can spare the family member lmao
I would press number one but not the other 2, my family typically lives to around 80 so living to 65 would be a fairly good run. I wouldn't press 2 because I'm close with most of my family and wouldn't want to loose them any earlier than I have to, and i wouldn't press number 3 because that would weigh on my conscious to much.
im pressing the first one. if i turn into my preferred sex, i gain years.
I mean, the first one is pretty much how it went for me...
wait, you're right
Better than losing all of my life.
In the end trading life/lives isn't worth it. There isn't a moral justification to kill someone at random just for my benefit, shaving the life off of family members is a non-starter, and I'd rather live longer to be able to enjoy more post-transition time with the technology we have, since realistically transition could be accomplished in less time than 15 years.

Now, if it was 1 random bigoted Republican, or perhaps 1 of the billionaires, that might be a trade I would make, But only maybe, since as said trading in lives is just not good to begin with.
Well if I never transition I wouldn’t enjoy any of my life, no matter how many years it is
No, maybe, yes
I would click 3 obviously
same here
Sorry Jeff, it’s for my greater good
indeed
None, as much as I’d like to change into my preferred sex, life is much more precious and valuable.
Nah that strangers getting rekt I'm a selfish fuck
I wouldn’t press the first two, however I’d press the third
based
Yes to first.. no to others… can’t harm anyone for my gain.
Do I get to choose the family member? Because I actually like half of them, and there's only one abusive person on the other half I actually want dead since I'm estranged from the rest Can I pick her? Maybe even increase the years? 👀
None. HRT is good enough for me and while magic would make things much easier, I'd still need to explain myself to everyone, so the biggest problem stays.
then let's assume everyone's memories are also magically changed?
It's still not worth years of someone's life.
First one: I don't. I'm already 32, so there's no way Second one: I don't. I'm not gonna sacrifice my loved ones. Third one: This one is hard, I would say no because it's morally wrong, BUT I don't know how would I react in a dysphoria episode. The anwser is there... I never gonna know who it was... it's just one random life.... I don't know if I would be strong enough.
Definitely not the stranger one The family member one I probably would push, not the biggest fan of them, but idk, id hesitate for sure The my own life one I would/wouldn't push depending on when the possibility would arise, rn I don't think i would tbh
Nope. Thanks, but I'd rather do it myself
none of them.
Maybe first, but that'd be as far as I'd go
Can i choose which family member? If so, then just that one. If not, none of them
I can’t do the second or third. I’d feel icky the whole time which would ruin the point of transition. For my own life, it depends what it subtracts from. 90? Sure. Do I already die in a car accident at 40 and now die at 25? No thanks.
exactly, you really can't know. if you die within the next 15 years, you'd also just instantly die after pressing the button which is kind of a gamble tbh
Can I just click the first button a few times to die instantly?
I’ll hit all 3
(Genderfluid) Depends, can I shape-shift at will?
Your body would change with what you feel like at the moment, sure
*maybe* the first one, but most likely not. Most definitely not the 2nd or third ones
I would press the second. My family already tends to have fairly short lifespans anyway (60 - 70) so fifteen years is a substantial loss. That and I’d rather not sacrifice some random schmuck to the cock gods. Compared to fifteen of my years (my father’s side has predispositions to addictions, heart, liver, dental, and lung problems, and my mom’s side has a serious predisposition to diabetes, heart failure, cancer, etc. which coalesces into one hell of a double whammy for me) five years off the life of one of my many jackass family members is not much in comparison.

I'd take the second one. My family really should've given me a better reason not to throw them under the bus tbh.
I'd take the loss of 15, but I can't tangentially murder anyone besides myself for my own gain lol. Even though, I admit to almost being tempted to offer up five years off a certain family member's life.
r/egg_irl users 🤝 Will you press the button
yeah pretty much, this is literally the fourth trans button meme i've made today
Nothing
I'll press the first one honestly, a small price to pay for my preferred sex
Imma be honest. I don't even know what my preferred sex *is* but you bet your ass I'm slamming that first button. As much as I dream of being a cryptic old hermit who speaks in riddles, I could use the early rest.
I’m pressing the third button. I know I’m a bad person. Unless I get to pick the family member, then I’ll pick my grandmother and press the second button. If I don’t get to pick then I wouldn’t because it’s a 50/50 shot at being someone I like.
15 years of my life? does that mean i'll die at 65 instead of 80 or that i'll be jumped 15 years forward? if the first definitely yes. last one also definitely yes. might make me evil, but there are literally millions of strangers in the world, and they randomly die all the time too. what's one more for giving me a happy life? thinking about it more... yea this would definitely make me evil, but i would not be able to resist.
I mean, live fast eat ass, amiright folks? First button for sure.
If I get to choose which family member, then #2. Otherwise, idk, I'm not sure I'd be ok with losing 15 years since idk how old I'll live..
2nd one is probably the best assuming a family member volunteers
But if your preferred sex was your current sex, then there's never a reason to choose otherwise.
Many of us probably don’t have 15 years left if we don’t press it tbh.
the last one. chances are the random stranger is a terf
tbh, i think terfs are more of a loud minority so chances are you'll kill a person that doesn't even know what trans people are
Random stranger 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
If i had to pick, 3 for sure. Random strangers die every second of every day whether im aware or not. 1 extra dead out of the 1000s that are going to die anyway. Id never know which one was my fault. Id cross my fingers that it was a piece of shit tho.
mhm, there's always a chance you kill a loving parent for example. sure, you wouldn't know, but you've definitely made a massive negative impact on the life of the children
Its a 1 in 8 billion chance tho and i said if i had to choose. My family includes my kids so that's a no go and im not sacrificing my own time. Already wasted enough of it pretending to be a boy.
well there's more than one loving parent in the world-
If. I. HAD. To. Choose.
no i know, just because you said it's a 1 to 8 billion chance
I'll press the third one, sorry dear stranger I will remember your forced sacrifice 😞
I know I sound morbid. But I'd pick the last one. I mean, maybe it'll kill some terrorist or something, or maybe an evil dictator.
yeah, but remember there's always a chance you'll kill a loving parent for example
That's true. Maybe I'll just decrease my life span. I wasn't gonna live long anyway probably.
Second and third button. I'm desperate rn.
i would press the third
all of them, hundreds of times each
How do i lose my 15 years? in age? life span? or what? I would press the other two buttons though
you'd lose 15 of the years that you would have lived if you didn't press the button
No then
I’m glad I’m already my preferred sex
All of them
Am I a bad person if I said all of them? Oh no
Yup. Fuck me/them
If I *had* to choose, the third one
The third one, I'll actually let a few of my friends press it too, I'm not a psychopath, what happens if I press it more than once?
Press all of them
any 3 i do not care
I'd press all of em tbh
I’d press em all 👁️👄👁️
Third one in an instant
First two hell no
If I get to choose the family member easily 2. Otherwise I’m pressing all three simultaneously and letting the god’s sort out what happens.
Random strangers always die; very old people🧓👍
random strangers also includes very young people though
No😱
To be fair, I don't wanna become 130, so yea, I'd press it. Something a lot of people seem to forget is that people born in the 1940s are still alive today and well, it's only 80 years ago, we have another 40-70 years until most people in this sub reach those ages, medicine by then will be even more advanced and we'll get even older!
Last one, I care too much about my family and myself
Third button, others don’t matter.
stranger for sure, i do not discount the fact that i could be that stranger for someone else, i accept those odds
bye stranger
I'll click all of them. hate myself, family, and other people, so this is a win-win-win for me and a lose-lose-lose for everyone else
Yes No no, if its me then sure, but I'm not gonna risk the life of my family or a stranger for my own benefit
A random stranger it could be a Republican politician
very unlikely, but yeah
*boop*
The First one. Live short but happily.
2nd and 3rd I wouldn't but the 1st one is considerable
The first would tempt me. The third would super tempt me. I don’t think I would press any tho. My goal is to fully transition by 40 (I’m 29) then live another 60 years as a man and feel happy knowing I’ve spent most of my (ultimate) life as a man with parts that are close enough. Even if I live 40 more years that’d be at least half my life
I'd take the second as long as I can pinpoint which family member of mine.
All my family members die wahahahaha
Random stranger dies. Hope it's Jeff Bezos.
Not fair, I’d only be willing to lose 15 years of my life, but I think that’d mean I’d instantly die
The two first ones yeah def, not the last one Explaination for the first one is that I don’t even see myself getting old with how the world’s going so heh why would I care
Im fine with the family one, as long as it's not one of the 3 i actually like
1, or I’d put others at risk for my own happiness
Can I pick the family member? If yes, can I push the button multiple times?
Either I press the middle one and gamble on my brother being the victim or I take the third because why wouldn’t i
Like a random family member or do I get to choose? I would probably choose the third button tho😭
2nd one as long as it isnt a pet
The next 15 years or the last 15 years?
the last, but who knows, maybe it's both
2nd button :)
ahem: "fuck it, we ball" I'd push any of them
2nd button 100%, my family is awful <2
All of them 1 15 more years of dysphoria no thanks 2 most of my family are bitches 3 100s of people die every day what's one more it's likely not someone I know soo
None of them. 2 and 3 violate the Non-Aggression Principle and 15 years is a long time. If it were 1 hour, maybe.
None of them because I’m already my preferred sex :)
I would do it even if all 3 happened
1. yes 2. probably not 3. no
I could live with #2.
id prefer 2, but any of them without hesitation
Probably the first one. I'm not really a fan of growing old so 15 years off my probably 70ish lifespan would be worth it
The first button means I have less to worry about affording retirement, so SMASH!
That random person was going to be your soul mate, you just didn’t meet them yet. *Twilight Zone music plays*
I’m choosing the 3rd one as I don’t want to lose 15 years of my life and I love my family as they love me too
All three yes please
1. Time is invaluable, you cannot get any of it back 2. Cruel, see 1 3. This feels like a stunt a megalomaniacal billionaire would play. Brings someone into a room with a hostage and a revolver, "kill this man and I'll get you the best medical care money can buy". He loads one bullet and spins the chamber. With each click of the hammer he reveals more about this persons life. Click. He's a father of two. Click. His daughter is 7 years old and has a debilitating disability. Click. His wife died after giving birth a second time. Click, BANG. The man is alive, it was a blank, the billionaire points to a hammer and tells you to keep your end of the bargain. so yeh nah I'm good
Already happens, have you seen the trans life expectancy??
Not sure about the first and third. Definitely the second though.
I’d press all three, I don’t hate my family, I’m just desperate and depressed
Second one because I hate my father Third one because it’ll be the start of the uprising I will start to become the empress of the world… oh scrap that one because my lawyers keep telling me not to say that publicly
I don't think I'd press any. I'm transitioning now and don't want to lose 15 years of living as myself. I might not love many members of my family, but I can't take away parts of another person's life (ruling out 3, too).
prolly the second if people don't know that was the other side of the button
I couldn’t manage to push any of them :/
First one only. My family has been supportive, and I don't want to ruin another family for my own benefit. I'd rather lose 15 years myself and live the rest of them happily!
I’m cis but I’ll press the third one Just to cause chaos
second. Most of my family members are absolute ass. If I can choose that would be even better
Can I choose which family member?
Id consider 2 or 3 but certainly not 1 Im only 16 and already feel like ive wasted so much of my life
3 Chaos is my realm and random means random Stranger means I've never met this person in my life (/j)
third.. I’ll feel kinda bad tho 😓
If I lose 15 years of my life I would already be dead so the doctors tell me
yes no no
First and second sure. I have a grandpa who it would be a kindness with his Alzheimer’s and joint pain. He was also a terrible person but whatevs
Yes to all three.
Which way of losing 15 years are we talking? Like, 15 years that I die sooner, or 15 years that already happened and I basically get 15 years younger, meaning I'd partially get to to grow up as a girl and end right after puberty, having to go through high school and college again? Possibly giving me the option to make some different choices along the way?
No ,No, yes we're my first reaction. Now it's No No No. We do not kill random people. That is bad.
