 Your right middle finger turns fuschia and enlarges, then you become a ghost.

no more needs to be said

 You gain unmatched skill in hot-dog-eating contests, then your voice lowers an octave, and finally you are struck by lightning.

I think it's worth it if I can win money in hot-dog-eating contests

There was this one game I played, like, ten years ago. I don't remember much, but here's what I do:

(note that none of this is object, I could be remembering wrongly on any one of these)

It was a turn based rpg, and I believe your partner was a man with a rather large build. At the beginning you had to fight your way through some building with catwalks and stuff, but then it started to explode or something and you had to escape. I seem to recall it was 2 disks, and it was a playstation or ps2 game, I don't know which.

I feel like it may have been a final fantasy game, but I don't know.

I realize that this is not much info to go by, but I don't have the best memory, and it was so long ago I wouldn't remember much even with a good memory.

Edit: Looking through a list of FF games, I now highly doubt it is one (though I suppose it still could be)

Except it sounds exactly like the beginning of FF7.

Oh yeah, it definitely was. I guess for some reason my brain decided I had never played FF7, so I didn't bother to check that one...?

Universe collapsing into dust?
You'll make the law of conservation of matter even sadder than it already is.

physics are a lie

dust is a lie

the universe is a lie

therefore, the universe collapsing into dust is not a lie

1877- You have filed multiple complaint letters to your mayor about the lack of your town's magma defenses.

1878- You have been placed in an asylum because you told the mayor you want magma defenses.

It's still a simple matter of priorities, then. The threats which are most immediate are the ones with which we concern ourselves, both because they are more likely to happen before we die, and because it is more likely that we will need to deal with the results. Certainly the low-probability, long-term threats can be assessed and considered, but not as a primary focus. You don't worry about the asteroid which may or may not collide with Earth in a few hundred years when someone is mugging you.

Makes sense. I was expecting this result, though I must admit I was hoping for:

"THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO COLLAPSE INTO DUST?!?!? RUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"

2. Things like that are preventable and predictable. Scenarios like 1 aren't really the sort of thing we'll see coming or be able to stop, so why worry about them?

While I understand your logical, for the sake of discussion, let's say that neither are preventable or predictable, and just leave it at likely/not so likely.

Given the following two scenarios, which would you consider to be a greater/larger/whatever threat?

1.) Something really really bad, though, admittedly not very likely (say, the whole universe instantly collapsing into dust)

2.) Something much more likely, but not nearly as bad (say, the "tomb" over the reactor at Chernobyl failing and releasing radiation into the atmosphere)

I'm just curious about which one people tend to worry about more. You know, because I'm just the kind of guy who wants to know how the human mind works, just for giggles and/or because I can.

So... yeah. Preferably, you would expand on why you consider the one you choose to be the greater threat, otherwise there isn't much point.

The way I see it, I feel no need to believe in any gods, because if I was a god, I would like atheists better anyway.

You know, they do good things just for the sake of being good, not just so they can be rewarded (though I would like religious people who did it for the sake of being good as well)

Not even if the baby beats a goblin swordmaster to death with the leg of a goblin lasher?

Dear Urist,

After letting your baby beat the goblin swordmaster to death with the leg of a goblin lasher,

please pass out from exhaustion and drop the baby onto our giant steel serrated disk traps.

That is all.

Dear Urist,

Giving birth in the middle of battle is acceptable. Letting the baby survive is unacceptable.

That is all.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

it's settled

this is the god I choose to believe in

The way I see it, the nonexistence of a god is infinitely more logical than the existence of a god.

At the same time, not believing in a god is infinitely LESS logical than believing in a god.

Why is that? Well, I don't know about you, but I am not certain enough that a god doesn't exist to risk eternal punishment. Yeah. Maybe, 999,999 / 1,000,000 chance there are no gods? That's still a 1 / 1,000,000 chance of eternal punishment. I may not be the smartest man alive, but I'd rather not risk it.
