Will you press the button?

[DestinyPlayer]

Meh.

Press the button and you get a giant mecha of your choice, complete with manual.

[Fisk02]

Pressing button intensifies!

If you press this button you are going to get hated by everyone in 50 years but you will get to a eternal paradise.

[cubinator]

I press for eternal life

The button appears to be mounted to a squirt gun which is pointed at your face.

[TopHeavy11]

Eh. *Press* *squirt* OH! It was lemonade! AWESOME!

 

If you press the button you have 40% chance of being the richest man in the multi-verse, and a 60% chance of terminal cancer.

Even if I do get cancer, I'd probably get fame for it and get rich anyways. So yes, gotta live life. Not like I'm going to last long enough anyways.

Press the button to lose one sense but to have another sense enhanced 1000000000x of what it was. 

[TopHeavy11]

YEP! Press!

 

Press button for happy fun-time purgatory!!

[quasarrgames]

Umm... Sure. Burning alive for a few hundred years would be worth it in the long run i bet.

 

If you press the button every forum post will get at least one like, but nobody will ever reply to what you post.

[Matuchkin]

No. I'm sorry, but its quite lonely when no one ever talks to you. I'd sacrifice my rep.

You push the button. Either you get a proposal for your dream job, or you realize you're adopted. 50/50.

[SpaceKraken]

Nope.

 

Push the button, and you can absolutely everything. But you have to forget about family and friends.

Push the button to get a 500000000 ton awesome space station all to your self, or get kerbin eaten by the space kraken.

I am not pressing the aforementioned button,

Press the button for a 90% chance of becoming omnipotent but also a 90% chance of destroying every inhabited planet within 200 light years.

[0111narwhalz]

Well, it looks to me like I have a 90% chance of being omnipotent, which means I don't care if 200 ly of desolation surrounds me. I'm omnipotent. That leaves 10%, 90% of which surrounds me with desolation but doesn't grant me omnipotence. That makes a 9% chance of "everything sucks." So: Given that I am ten times more likely to be omnipotent than to be helplessly alone, and nine times more likely to be helplessly alone than for nothing to happen, I will push the button.

If you press this button, a dirt-cheap reactionless drive (and I mean really reactionless, none of that photon drive nonsense) will be discovered. However, it comes with all the terrible things that make reactionless drives so glorious and awkward, among them such cheery things as:
Complete disruption of several conservation laws
A sudden gain in plot devices
Violations of the causality-relativity-FTL triangle (you might be able to get three of the two)
And, my favorite, civilisation-killing relativistic weapons.

Of course, said reactionless drive might put man into the stars.
But is it really worth potential existential risks?

[Mjp1050]

That button shall remain unpressed; I happen to like this universe, thank you very much.

I'll just leave this here...

[DMSP]

Warning-no button detected.

Press this button, and there's a 60% chance that KSP will advance to version 4.2.3 immediately. However, there's a 40% chance that all KSP games will immediately delete themselves and Squad will be unable to produce KSP ever again.

[Delfinus]

Nope, will not press that button.

Press this button, and there's a 50% chance in the next 5 years we'll make contact with a peaceful, advanced alien species who will help us go Interstellar, but also a 50% chance we'll instead make contact with a harsh, warlike, alien dictatorship who will invade Earth...

[cubinator]

No thanks. Geez, why so many doomsday buttons?

Here's my button. Will you press it?

[TopHeavy11]

Insert benefits and risks here. Insert response here. Insert description here (optional.)

 

 

If you push the button, all bugs in KSP will be fixed, but you as a person and everyone you know who plays will never be able to play it again.

[Docktorwho]

Hell, No. Bugs Are Life.

 

if you push the button, You Can ONLY sing weird Al Yankovic Songs Perfectly

[cubinator]

No. That's an awful button (nothing against Weird Al).

If you press this button, you will be able to know your location down to the nearest meter no matter where you are I the universe, but there is a 15% chance of the universe becoming a singularity instantly.

[EliasDanger]

That's what GPS is for, not going to press it.

 

If you press this button, you have a 50% chance of winning a trillion dollars. However, you will not be allowed to spend the money on anything but charity, you will be allotted 100,000 a year for the rest of your life, so you won't have to have a job or anything, but the rest of that trillion dollars must be spent within 5 years on nothing but charity, saving lives, ending poverty, curing cancer, that sort of thing.

However, you also have a 50% chance of an immediate, painless death. No one else is affected in this case.

 

If you won't press the button....how much more likely would the trillion dollar scenario have to be before you'd be willing to press the button?

[Ozymandias_the_Goat]

I would press the button. My life would completely be worth fixing the world.

If you push the button, you can switch identities with any person on Earth.

[Fredbear12returns]

I WANT TO BE A GIRL! YAH I WANT TO SWITCH WITH MY COUSIN!

If you press the button,  you have a 35% chance you will instantly have a family with 3 kids, or a 65% chance of having those kids have deformed faces.

[Turf]

I don't press the button because I'm still too young!

Push the button to make ion thrusters +1000% thrust and ISP ASL increased to 4000 but all boosters and struts removed.

[Raven Industries]

Nope, that would make KSP too easy.

Press the button to get exactly one year of living in the future ( say a few hundred years in the future) and then be sent back to the present, but die 10 years early.

[DaMachinator]

Nope. Not violating causality is cool by me. 

 

Get a powerful computer. 

10% chance the only sound it makes is "Never Gonna Give You Up."
