If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because they had to replace their record collections with a tape collection that they had to replace with a CD collection that they had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now they need a subscription to listen to music
There's a lot of manosphere advice about how all men need to be hyper-masculine douchebag alphas to get women, but if you polled women for the single sexiest thing any male celebrity has done in the last 30 years this routine would be #1 by a mile.
Lot of people saying “the mathematically correct answer is to take the coin flip”, but if you’re poor and you walk away with nothing when you could’ve walked away with your debts paid or a house deposit, being mathematically correct is going to be scant comfort.
If you had a choice between instantly receiving £50,000 or a 50% chance to win £1m, which would you pick?
£50,000: 73%
50/50 chance of winning £1m: 21%
@hansaFL@YouGov Sorry, I don’t know much about risk, but where are you getting £500k from? The choice is either £50k for certain, maybe £1 million, or maybe nothing. You don’t get £500k in any of those scenarios.
@HenneseyJo24358@YouGov I feel like the people criticising the 73% aren’t thinking about how it would feel to NOT get the million. I play the lottery sometimes, so I’m used to dreaming of being a millionaire. But I’ve never had to wake up each day knowing I’m £50k poorer because I gambled it away.
