Lol ok there bud /s

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 80 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'd press it a few times. In the end, I think I'd care way more about never working again for the rest of my life than being a guy.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same. I'm about halfway done already. What's another 40 being a bit different? I'd be lucky to have such a varied perspective on life.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It would at least make the last half more interesting because there’d be more learning, unless the button takes away ADHD the dopamine alone makes it worth pressing

Everyone here debating the mechanics of the button or engaging with the question explicitly posed.

But I'm just trying to figure out wtf the bottom comment in the pic is about. A day? What day? No time frame is ever mentioned in any other part of the post.

[–] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago

Arch-user in the image said they were a "completely cis dude" and would hit that button, then replied to themselves (~1 day later) calling herself "she" - implying they became(?) trans within that time period. The final response is from another person, incredulous at the short timeline between "completely cis" and trans

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It took them a day to realize they're trans. The reblogs have timestamps.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Both reblogs say 6d ago

The comment-times both say 6 days for the arch user and 4 days for the person commenting "a day" so I'm assuming on their end there was about a day time difference between the time the arch user posted the post about the button and realising they're probably trans, which is exceptionally fast and worthy of the day comment.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 49 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Girl? Girl implies youth. So, get a million dollars or be young again?

I'm pressing it 100 times

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well you got that 1% chance about 4 times by sheer luck I don't know what to tell you but you're Supergirl, now. Congrats?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Does that mean I get to be four times as cute :3

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

No but you have 8 boobs like a cat, enjoy

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Judging by their username, that's what they want.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 months ago

I'm fine with my two boobs :3

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Can I just get 8 cats instead ^-_-^

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 11 months ago

My gf is bi so it's not like it would matter

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you are already a cis woman, does this just reroll your stats?

I seem to be the minority here, but, while I'd press the button, I wouldn't mash it or press it a bunch of times, or eagerly press it... because periods. And PMS. And misogyny. But, mostly periods.

I think being a girl has some pretty sucky parts that is guys completely avoid, and for which I'm really grateful. And I think a lot of dudes who fantasize about transitioning sort of skip over, although I guess with no ovaries trans women get to avoid the worst of it. Although they still have to deal with the patriarchy, and that's pretty shitty.

So, yeah. I'd press it, but with some trepidation.

[–] julianh@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've heard that some trans women get "phantom periods" after hrt, like the hormonal cycle still happens even if the parts aren't there.

[–] pixel@pawb.social 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cis men have hormonal cycles too, it's just not accompanied by your body contracting rapidly or you bleeding out of your privates so men get to pretend they don't have cycles

Get a million or be 17 again? Sounds like win-win!

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I didn’t even think about this, for trans men this button is a Time Machine

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I have a question though:

If I became a girl through the button, the button would then change and give me a 1% chance of becoming a boy. I could just proceed to then press the button again and be myself again and get a bunch of cash

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why would the button change? Its explicitly a girl button

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Cause then it wouldn’t be interesting for girls

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 months ago

For girls it's just free money

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

Girls become girlΒ² when they hit the button

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Wait, we can push it more than twice. I'm smashing on that button until it breaks.

I can easily pay to transition back if the whole girl thing doesn't work out.

I assumed the button was supposed to be single use.

I'm a straight dude and would press the button in a heartbeat because I don't see either of those options as problematic (as the meme usually suggests).

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Are you sure you wouldn't have a problem becoming a girl?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So uhhh. On the premise that women can't slam this thing as many times as they want without consequences so they also stand a risk of a gender swap...

Why would we not just keep pressing the button until we turned back?

Okay but all of that gone, 1 press, these are your chances, fuck yeah. In a fucking second. This isn't a hard question unless you're already wealthy.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can't just change the rules! Women finally get a win here! Free money with no consequences

[–] Dakkaface@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm going to push it a bunch. What happens if I hit that 1% more than once?

[–] HoodieGyaru@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago

You become the ultimate girl.

I'd hit it. A mil could solve most of my problems. Becoming a girl would just be one more.

[–] match@pawb.social 7 points 11 months ago

this shit is going up against TV Glow for the ultimate eggsmasher

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Press it a thousand times and then transition back πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
