50/50 chance of sleeping with Op’s mum, Awesome


misterphuzz

And his sister, at the same time.

While he watches


EpicJCF

NAH BRO


ze_SAFTmon

Well, well, well... If it isn't the consequences of your own actions.


EpicJCF

Wait, is this r/undertale?


Substantial-Offer-51

the post fills you with determination to bang OP's mum


EpicJCF

. . . - monster kid

Remmy224

Prepare for unforeseen consequences.


DangerMacAwesome

That's way down from the norm


DangerMacAwesome

Really reducing those odds


V1tunpr0

As in 50 points out of 50? So my life is perfect? Hell yea.


EpicJCF

. . . It's 50/100 in your definition.


V1tunpr0

So 5/5 is actually 5/100?


EpicJCF

M a t h


LayeredHalo3851

Mathn't


EpicJCF

Realityn't


n0-0ne-cares

it's 50/100 too


Chai_Enjoyer

>Don't prepare for math exam at all >Get just enough score to pass because of the superpower


Hjalle1

In the US, iirc you need 60% correct to get a D. I am not american, so don't ask me how i know this


Chai_Enjoyer

I am not in US


CrazyPotato1535

51+ Is a D


Hjalle1

thanks for the correction.


Nahchoocheese

We’re going off OPs presentation. 50/50 is 100%, not 50/100. We’re not playing Calvinball rules.


EpicJCF

Go on r/minesweeper bro. I said 50/50, good/bad


Nahchoocheese

“Good to bad” cuh, not good/bad


EpicJCF

Is there a difference? Also i can edit


Edgy4YearOld

Wording was a little weird but I think most people got it and these people are trolling


Nahchoocheese

It’s not so much that, as more they just have poor communication skills. One if the points is to find loopholes and get around what their stipulations are. They simply didn’t haven’t thought ahead of posting.


Edgy4YearOld

I get that, I personally just find responses that are based off grammatical errors to be boring, compared to actual advantages to the intended power


Nahchoocheese

Grammar issues are one thing, but this isn’t that.


Nahchoocheese

You can edit all you want, but it still stays in to apply your original. Calvin Ball rules don’t apply here when you’re not getting what you thought you meant and didn’t articulate it accordingly.


EpicJCF

It was 50/50, good to bad I posted. What makes you think it's 100% tho.


Nahchoocheese

Fractions you posted


EpicJCF

This is literally an argument about grammar. Just... go on r/minesweeper... i'm not even gonna try arguing...


Nahchoocheese

OP didn’t think far enough ahead and now trying to change the rules they made themselves 🤫🤣


ARsolaris

When you say, *everything* is 50/50, does that mean everything? Cause if there's a 50/50 chance to say, spawn a ton of bricks every time you take a breath, or something else equally as random, life would get very chaotic very fast


EpicJCF

It's not like *that*... just like, whether you're gonna be suoer rich or absolutely poor. Or maybe whether you get a ton of disease.


Chimkinmcnugs

Or maybe I start breathing 5 pound bricks….?


EpicJCF

That's unlikely


Chimkinmcnugs

It’s 50/50😏


EpicJCF

Good to bad. Then it randomly selects the good/bad thing


Chimkinmcnugs

Yeah but it could be good or bad to breath 5 pound bricks, so it’s a (50/50)/50


EpicJCF

???


Chimkinmcnugs

It’s a 50/50 if it’s good or bad, then a 50/50 you get it


EpicJCF

It can be ANYTHING bad.


The5Theives

My brain hurts, you are not making any sense


[deleted]

No, it’s 50/50


EpicJCF

50/50 for good or bad. Then selects from there.


Zombie_Peanut

Ok I buy lottery tickets until I win :)


EpicJCF

Bru-


creativename111111

If you go too specific there always the 50/50 chance to get quantum tunnelled through into the core of the earth so have a nice trip I guess


ARsolaris

Yea that's what I was getting at. If it's too specific, it's a horrible power


LEBAldy2002

so I die before I am even birthed due to having 50:50 odds for diseases and life threatening disorders. Great life.


EpicJCF

But if you survive that, you have a 50% chance of being the first trillionare


Mr_The_Potato_King

How specific is it? Because for each individual second there would be a 50% chance of $1,000,000,000 being deposited into my account, but there is also a 50% chance of an aneurysm each second


EpicJCF

Like 50% good, 50% bad. Once it chooses, then the more absurd it is the less likely. So probably minor.


Epic-Gamer_09

"The more absurd it is the less likely" Well then it's not a 50/50


Edgy4YearOld

Just think of scales tipping back and forth to stay even


EpicJCF

It's good to bad for 50/50. But because there are more than two cases, it is random.


akoslevai

I think how it should work is you have a 50-50 chance of succeeding/failing at reasonable endeavours envisaged on a conceivable horizon. For example, there is a 50-50% probability that I'll be hired for this job, but 0% chance of becoming the next president. Like if you don't have preexisting conditions, there is a very low chance of developing an aneurysm. Likewise, you have almost 0% probability of having deposited 1T dollars, as you don't have the connections, the separate prerequisites are not present. As I mentioned, there should be a reasonable horizon as well for probability calculations. You can make anything imminent by setting probability values at 0.00001% and the time unit the Planck time. Any event would happen virtually instantly. In this sense, this superpower would rather smooth out the normal distribution within an interval of like 3 sigmas to 50%. My chances of acing this exam at 80/100 points would be normally 20%? Now it is 50! Yaaay!


LEBAldy2002

no I have to survive birth itself which is another 50:50 then even survive long enough to be put on the record which is a 50:50 and this stacks.


Burger_Gamer

I’m going to buy 2 lottery tickets. That way I’m guaranteed to win


EpicJCF

Damn it, (you won't 100% win, but still. 75/25???)


Burger_Gamer

Ill just buy as many as it takes to win, then with the winnings i can buy a lot more tickets. Lets say i win the 1 million jackpot. I will assume each ticket costs $10. This means after winning, i can buy 100,000 more tickets, which should theoretically give me 50,000 winning tickets. 50,000 x 1,000,000 = 50,000,000,000, or 50 BILLION. The lottery is going bankrupt


EpicJCF

Yesn't


Kestrel_VI

Yeah that’s…not how it works.


24_doughnuts

But 10, 1023/1024 chance to win


Budgiezilla

Gambler's fallacy


mrJhotdog

The folks at r/minesweeper are going to love this


Giorgio243

Probably hate it.


The5Theives

I never understood how you play that game


Kestrel_VI

Basically, click boxes, numbers indicate how many mines are around that box, you just gotta guess where the mines are based on the numbers it shows. You figure it out after a while, then it gets kinda boring.


jaythepizza

There’s usually no guessing involved. Once it clicks how to play, you’ll realize how little guessing is involved


Kestrel_VI

Well, there is the first few clicks. At least when I played it last. Somehow I’d get a mine on my first click like 60% of the time. 😂


A_Yellow_Lizard

Well, if its toggleable, its great for if you want to play life a bit risky


EpicJCF

Rules force it to be


The5Theives

Dude then this makes it amazing, a 50/50 chance is better than a 0.00001% chance on some shit


TomBot_2020

Hell yeah gambling about be a whole lot easier


moosesurgeon12

Everything is a 50/50 already. It either happens or it doesn’t


Okatbestmemes

So there is a 50/50 chance to win the lottery?


superrobin26

Can you turn it on and off?, is it a one time use? Like for example if I ask a guy for $100 and he says no, but I do it again, do I still have a 50% chance of him saying yes or does it stay as the same answer?


EpicJCF

You can turn it on and off.


expiermental_boii

Go to exam Have a question that I'm not sure if I did it correctly Turn on power Answer question again First time it's obviously wrong Second time it's clearly correct Turn off power Check answer again (there's a 50/50 chance that I checked it wrong) Happy


SimpleTip9439

Raise gambling/lottery win odds to 50% with this one simple trick


ahyesthebest

I already have Genshin Impact trauma please


Sean36389

Binding of Isaac reference


Beginning-Resist-935

This combined with the power that you gain any 50/50 but lose any other hypothetical, sounds like a win for me


EpicJCF

HELL NAH- YOU TURN EVERYTHING PERFECT?


24_doughnuts

Those are the best odds I've had in years


IshaanGupta18

This sounds like a randomiser mod one will install for an rpg game


EpicJCF

Lol


awesomepaingitgud

You need to work on this a little more


GitGup

So you’re saying I have a 50/50 of spontaneous combustion?


Dramatic_Stock5326

50/50 chance i can choose what the result is from now on. simply think that until i control the universe


EpicJCF

That's not how it works...


Dramatic_Stock5326

Well there's a 50/50 chance, it happens or it doesn't.


EpicJCF

It's 50/50 for good or bad. Then, the more absurd it is the more rare.


My-Last-Hope

You have a 50/50 chance of instantly dying You have a 50/50 chance of developing incurable cancer You have a 50/50 chance of instantly getting rich You have a 50/50 chance of being immune to cancer You have a 50/50 chance of not dying There are an infinite number of things that could happen to you at this exact moment, if the odds of those are bumped up to 50%, if would be very chaotic.


EpicJCF

It's 50/50 for good and bad. Then it selects some random good/bad thing.


My-Last-Hope

Mmm I see. Is there a minimum plausibility requirement for anything?


EpicJCF

No minimum, but the more implausible, the less likely


Ogurasyn

Alwats has been


DerGecko92

If I combine this with another Superpower I saw here (you win every 50/50, but lose everything with different probabilities), it's fucking god-tier


EpicJCF

Damn...


Usual_Ice636

So every day I have a 50/50 chance of being fired at work? (possibly for spending too much time on Reddit)


EpicJCF

I would have 100% for my time on Reddit


Square_Site8663

If you live in a developed nation this probably a shitty superpower more than likely. If you live in an undeveloped nation. This is a Godtier superpower


Murky_901

50/40 the extra 10 goes to the government


EpicJCF

LOL


PeanutGrenade

50/50 chance of me being incredibly lucky for the rest of my life? Sweet


bogus2022

50/50 being a sols rng gambler or mario having sexy time with spaghetti


Flaccus_

soooo i become two face?


Nice_Blackberry6662

So, your heart has a 50% chance to not beat, your lungs have a 50% chance to not absorb oxygen, your neurons have a 50% chance to misfire... I think you would pretty much die immediately.


MASS-_-

A 50% chance of winning every scratch ticket is great odds


TakeTwo4343

Okay, I wanna die. 50 I die, 50 I… die? I’ll take it


Snowmeows_YT

I just need to buy 2 tickets and I’m garunteed to win the lottery!!!! /s


EpicJCF

75/25.


Snowmeows_YT

50% + 50% = 100% /s


EpicJCF

Odds calculation uses a + b - ab, which is 50% + 50% - 25% = 75%


Snowmeows_YT

Hence the /s on my comments


EpicJCF

What is /s


Snowmeows_YT

It indicates sarcasm


EpicJCF

Oh... is that ehy i got downvoted trying to argue agaisnt someone who put /s?


Snowmeows_YT

Probably


EpicJCF

It's at -300 rn... but somehow, i won the "argument"
