Most of these hypotheticals are pretty lame. Like... Why would I care if another person got the same amount as me? I would only care if everyone got the same amount because that would cause massive inflation and now my million dollars is worthless.

That would be 'ethical cleansing'. Ethic cleansing would be to cleanse ethic, meaning you are getting rid of the ethic. That is basically just erasing one's morals. I think that's already being taken care of.

Even if everyone got the same amount, I would just press the button every week - and now I've YOLO implemented a form of Universal Basic Income.

I'd invent a machine that hits the button 1000 times a second and after a bunch of hours I'd buy Tesla, Amazon, Google and Apple and so on and turn them into companies profitable for humanity.

But first I'd buy some ice-cream.

imagine: you get a dollar but so does elon musk. what would you do?

if everybody presses the button, we end up with a massive wealth inequality problem

and that's actually how companies operate: the employees work for the company (akin to pressing buttons, just more tedious), and for that they get wages, but the company's owners also get money that way. repeat the process and the company's owners end up being massively wealthy, which leads to massive wealth inequality.

I think, it was a joke, because Greenland is often marked as "No data available" on such maps, for not really any good reason...

I would only care if everyone got the same amount because that would cause massive inflation and now my million dollars is worthless.

Everyone's money won't mean much. Welcome to being poor, billionaries.

No, you're just washing off the shitty, grimy ethics that accumulated on the good core ethics.

Yeah I know, my reply was a "false ignorance" joke itself

I get using a comma as a radix, sure. It makes grammatical sense, like saying "two, and three tenths", just a little pause between concepts.

But how does it make any sense anywhere to use a full-stop for grouping digits?! "1.000.000.000.000" looks ludicrous, not to mention we can't even agree on whether thats a billion or a million!

I love how maps like this basically are just maps of historical conquest

What options could I place before I press the button?

We really need to pick one and go with it.

This is upsetting haha

Nah it's most more of the world than just Americans this time

is wealth inequality inherently bad? on a global level it seems to benifit most lemmings/redditors/bird brains?

Yeah, I do greatly enjoy pulling out this map whenever someone says "only those weirdos in <region/language> do it the other way around". Nono, it's actually a pretty even split.

The question isn't if I'd press the button, but how many times can I press it before it breaks.

It doesn't make grammatical sense, but in a typesetting and writing sense it checks out – comma is the larger of the two symbols

wealth inequality is unavoidable, but excessive wealth inequality is a disease on the society
