Seven Ropes

[TheGamechanger]

Hypothetical situation.

You're trapped in a room with the only exit is a locked door, and there are seven ropes that are dangling from the ceiling and are attached somewhere from a floor above the room you're in, and each rope in connected to a button that will not only open the door, but will also release something bad to the world.

Rope A: Releases all of the people who are currently are imprisoned, regardless of how good or bad they are.

Rope B: Starts a nuclear World War.

Rope C: Resurrects of of the people who are currently in Hell.

Rope D: The world undergoes a Great Depression that's worse than the one from 1929.

Rope E: Zombie Apocalypse.

Rope F: Abolishes all laws, rules, guidelines, and regulations.

Rope G: Communist Nazis rule the world.

So which rope(s) would you pull?

[HomicidalDragon]

Rope C, bitch

[TheGamechanger]

I'll pull Rope A. It seems to be the least destructive one.

Well this is obvious. I pick up the key and open the door. Silly OP, you never said I couldn't get out using other methods. I win the thread
yaaaaaayyy

What key?

*Takes the key from you and shoves you back inside the room, and I lock the door from the outside and swallows the key*

All of them, with my neck.

Christ you suck at giving me choices.

I'd pull all of them just to fucking spite you.

I was considering adding an 8th Rope that would unleash a Robot Apocalypse, but I decided against it.

so why not just have seven buttons? Waste of resources, using all those ropes.

I meant that each rope is connected to a single button, which means that the total number of buttons is seven.

Also, don't try ramming the door open, either. It's made from solid titanium.

But my point remains: why ropes AND buttons? Why not just buttons?

I'm being facetious

You use buttons in a Rube Goldberg machine? For shame.

It's what the buttons are connected to is the actual Rube Goldberg machine.

B because it seems to have the highest chance of putting me out of my misery.

Does it have a number pad? A card scanner? An eye scanner?
I am very determined to do the right thing, I'll have you know.

There is no knob at all, or any obvious thing that would open it. The only way to open it is to pull a rope.

I thought you said all options were bad? I don't see F being bad. Most laws a fucking stupid anyway. And people will regulate each other based on actual morals - which is the way it should be. Murderers, rapists, and asshats in general will be exiled from society or killed off. And the greedy elitist 1% wouldn't have the power they currently have. The world would be a much better place to live.

I kick a hole in the wall. Climb out, go upstairs and dismantle whatever type of Farnsworth machine you have concocted. Failing that, accept my death inside your room.

this one since "Hell" is not real and exists solely to brainwash children and render them incapable of thinking critically

Yeah but why rope C

[icecreammac]

F. I can't see how pulling a rope could possibly abolish all laws and such, since laws are a tad arbitrary. Nor can I really see how pulling a rope can release all souls from an extradimensional plane of torture. Again, I choose F, because even if all laws were abolished, they can easily be reinstated.
