You get $1 Million dollars right now or $200 dollars everytime someone lies to you fo
#1
For me, the $200. Not only do I get $200 I also get a free lie detector. What about you?



#2
I would take the 200 no doubt. You would more money in the long run.



#3
If it is as you describe it then i would of course take the 200, especially if small lies (like for a present) also count. But what if you only got the 200 if you noticed you were beeing lied to? You don't have to point it out, just notice it.

I'm torn on this. I can't stand people that lie to me, but that million would turn into about $400k after taxes, and I could use that cash right now. But the amount of people that lie to me is farily large, and that $200 is legally untaxable, unless a person lies to me at least five times. I guess I'd take the $200. I could probably make rent by being outside for a few hours.



#5
I just ask people if they like me and then I'll get $200 everytime they are polite

You're reading too much into it, 1M, as is, no taxes.

I don't think it's as clear as people are making it out to be. You'd need to be lied to 5000 times to make $1M and I imagine that would take a very long time. Unless you just get your friend to purposefully lie to you and you can just make bank that way lol

Exactly. But if you know your friend is lying then is it really lying since you're the one that basically told them? lol

I’ll take the $200. Easy way to find out when someone is lying, and you get some money out of it.

The first thing I thought of was the IRS. I thought of this in a real world scenario, not a full fantasy one, which is why I thought of taxes.

It's always a fantasy though, that's why we're dreaming about it.

Yeah I think I keep reality a bit too close to my fantasies.



#13
I will take the 1M, because it can take time with teh 200, but with 1M you have it directly



#14
Lie detector seems tempting, but the 1m is instant and can be invested asap. I can only see the lie detector as an increase in QOL.



#15
i would choose 200% per lie as the world is field with liars



#16
Good question and tough choice! I would probably go for...... the $200 and lie detector. A lie is a lie yeah? So in day-to-day interactions with shop owners and whatnot, even a small lie would give me $200 and I can tell if they're just bullshitting their way through my questions.



#17
1 million. I'm sure 200 would add up to a lot but it's also a whole lot of work



#18
1M right away...will multiply it myself



#19
200 easy ill just go into a casino and go at it until i win bigtime
