You can press a button which kills one million random cells in your body (not neurons or nerve cells) for $10,000. How many times do you press it?

>> No.5517855

there are 100 billion neurons mate

>> No.5517882

Twice, probably.

>> No.5517898

i press it 3 times fast then i eat a big mac combo with large fries and chocolate milk shacke and press it 3 more times. 60,000$ for eating mcdonalds

>> No.5517905

at least one hundred, probably way more.

trillions of cells in body, 1 million randomly selected is chump change

>> No.5517912

several times a day for the resy of my life! (Skin cells, intestinal epithelial cells, neutrophils, red blood cells...i get rid of millions of these daily anyway, and it's normal and healthful to do so.)

I press it several times a day every day for the rest of my life.

Your body produces several hundred billion new cells every day.

You really should have thought this through OP.

>> No.5517924

about 100 times

>>5517842
Since only 10% of cells in the human body are actually human. I'd do it a couple of times.

Just a reminder that muscle cells do not grow back.

Myotubes no, but myocytes will.

Hold on a second.
Your justification for pressing the button is ''it will happen anyway''? It happens anyway... so why the shit do you need to press it?

You fail to see the logic in there.
Pressing the button is like getting paid for breathing more than normally. why the fuck not.

Oh and in addition to this.... considering it's 1m random cells, I wouldn't press it for fear of a freak incident where the killing was localised somewhere pretty critical, say.... in the eye, the heart or the tip of my dick; rendering said organ inoperable.

Also, you take quite a bit larger risks in you daily life for much less reward than this so why no use the opportunity.

A hundred times each day.

In a year, I will have accumulated 365 million dollars. Invest three quarters into existing privately funded space initiatives.

The next year, invest in more experimental launch systems.

The next year, invest in M/MI.

The next year, invest in the most viable companies of the previous years.

Repeat the next year and buy everyone in /sci/ a ticket to space as soon as mass civilian transport is viable.
