I'm having a harder time deciding than I feel like I should be...

Is the red button a "blow up things" button or a "that was easy" button?

Is the red button a "blow up things" button or a "that was easy" button?

 

Maybe the mystery is part of the appeal?

[Fidite Nemini]

Depends, what does the red button activate?

 

If you couldn't or wouldn't tell me, I'd assume it's potentionally dastardly, in which case I'd also have to assume that the bacon may also have some dastardly properties, like being poisoned, ill-prepared or not bacon at all. In that case, I would prefer to just walk away. If I absolutely had to choose still, I'd hit the button. Because I love hitting big red buttons whose purpose I don't know. Especially considering that anything dastardly coming via activation from that might surely be better than any poison besmirching the purity of what bacon should always be!

[TheClonesLegacy]

So the history eraser button, or the Bacon?

 

Hmm.

[Dr.Fumbles]

That's the question now isn't it? What is the purpose for that big red button.

[Voxr]

Red button. 

 

 

What does it do?

[Dr.Fumbles]

Red button. 

 

 

What does it do?

 

Only one way to find out.

[Voxr]

Ugh. Don't be a tease. 

[DeathScepter]

Red button for Science of course. how can we advance Humanity without science or a nice set of boobs or Miranda's ass?

[Dr.Fumbles]

Ugh. Don't be a tease. 

 

That's part of its charm.

[Sigma Tauri]

What sick sadist would create a label-less shiny red button just to tease mankind?

[Cyonan]

Obviously the button.

 

You can't resist an unlabeled red button.

I wanted to do a psychology project based on just that.

 

Too bad the school didn't sign off on it.

I'm sure that kind of test has been done ad nausea already. I can see it clearly, a big red button that once pressed will tase the test subject with low power electric shocks, with test subjects having been told that there's a random chance to win a money jackpot, which increases in number each time the button is pressed, with the test result being subjects continuing to press the button, despite never having recieved anything but shocks and unbeknowst to them, nothing different would happen because the jackpot is a lie.

Yeah, I don't think IRBs would approve of that.

Actually the design was leaving an unmarked button in a public area where people will collect, and have a camera on it.

 

The button does nothing but up a counter, with the camera there to test subsequent presses by the same person/group.

 

It was seeing how, without the knowledge of what a device does, how people will still attempt to see the effect, as well as how many times one would continue to press it without a visible effect.

Good old shmuck baits.

You would hit it too.

We're talking about the button, right?

[Dr.Fumbles]

We're talking about the button, right?

 Of course.

[Sigma Tauri]

And my mind automatically furnished ribald thoughts. Fie!

[Dermain]

Yeah, I don't think IRBs would approve of that.

 

They're assholes like that.

 

How dare they stifle our research!

 

I want to scare the hell out of my subjects and then test them on accuracy/memory!!!

What is the hypotheses behind the study?

 

Also, since it doesn't seem like you were collecting names and handing out the "holy" approval slips they wouldn't let you test that.
