This one is a throwback, but it came to mind today so let's do this.

You can receive 1 million dollars with no tax right away, but an immortal, uncontainable, unsealable, intelligent snail will spawn somewhere random and start crawling towards you. If it touches you then you die.

-You cannot get rid of the snail.
-Anything that crosses it path will die.
-It can also shapeshift and adjust it's physical form to reach you.
-You do not know it's location unless it's within your eyesight, but the snail knows where you're at all times.
-If you try to leave the Earth's atmosphere or find a way into an alternate reality it spawns on top of you immediately resulting in an instant death.

Do you take the 1 million dollars?

I personally wouldn't right now based on my current situation; however, if I was living paycheck to paycheck or much closer to death than I would take up the offer.

Gonna be a no from me too. A million is too little to support the lifestyle to get away from this cunt snail and I'm too much of a homebody to move like that in the first place.

If I knew where the snail was at all times, I would probably take this deal. If the money was increased I still don't know if I'd take the deal. Knowing my luck, the snail would be "in my eyesight" while I'm asleep and I'd perish.

this hypothetical is pretty lame, no amount of money would make this situation worth it

Yeah I feel the same way, unless I really needed money I wouldn't take the deal.

I think I'd do it for $1 billion. The whole put it in a reinforced glass box idea does seem pretty good unless the part about it being able to shapeshift implies it could go subatomic.

I don't think the constant anxiety of wondering where the snail is would be worth a million dollars, maybe if I was old and about to kick the bucket I'd take the money for one last vacation/spending spree though.
