Do Not Press

If you were to find a big red button labelled "Do Not Press" what would you do?

I ask this because a friend of mine sent me to the following website:
http://www.85qm.de/up/BigRedButton.swf

I, of course, pushed the button. Multiple times.

What if you were in a similar situation? You have no idea what the button does. Do you push it? Why? Why not?

Re: Do Not Press

It would depend on where I was and what was going on. Basically, if I was in a situation where I was definitely a goner, I'm probably push the button and hope for the best.

Re: Do Not Press

I am not a very curious creature and I know that I would not press that button no matte how hard I would have wanted to do it...I would fight against my urge to do so...because as you know what they say...curiousity kills the cat.

Re: Do Not Press

I think that would depend on the time and place, if i were; ta say; in the White House or in a military institution or somethin' like that, I wouldn'. No point in causin' a nuclear holocaust 'cause of curiousity.LOL.

Re: Do Not Press

I would press the button to see what happens despite there being a sign saying "Do not press". Curiosity is what drives humans to do things we shouldn't do

Re: Do Not Press

This little exercise reminds me exactly of one of the comic strips from Azumanga. Similar situation where one person told another explicitly to "NOT PRESS IT", but she pressed it anyway and end up "killing" the girl. lol It's our human natures to find out about things when we want are not told what is going to happen.

Anywho, I literally went through the whole set of it 4 times. If find that amusing.

Really I'd come into a conflict if I cam across this (Not via online). Part of me would say "Screw it, Shane. If you die, it'd be worth it, not like you or anyone else around you is worthy of life.PRESS IT!"

The other would say "Don't press it...DO NOT! Remember Dexters Lab!!!!"

Really I probably wouldn't press it and walk off finding some other idiotic jackass thing to do.

anyway... if i were in a creey place with a high probability that some kind of creature or being might appear t chase me around the world... we'll that would be fun... i'd better press it
but if i were in a laboratory, fille with toxic chamicals which might blow up and endanger the existence of the human race... well that would still be fun... i'd best press the button...
but if were in a theme park that might cease to function if i press a button and people might get stuck in the upper area of the roller coaster loop... now THAT would be AMUSING! i WILL press it...
come to think of it... in which situation wouldn't i press it?
i'm not a cat you know... i only have one life...
but then again... it ight not be that bad... a million <insert currency here> might appear if you do...
