The internet is buzzing with a peculiar but financially tempting thought experiment that poses the question: Would you be okay with the inconvenience of using only public restrooms every time nature calls if it meant earning $1,000 a day? One Reddit user posed this dare, creating a ripple of reactions across the web.
He wrote:
You’re given $1,000 cash every day but any time you need to poop, you have to use a public restroom; are you taking the $1k? Why or why not?
People were quick to share their thoughts:
GoldIce53641638 mentioned:
I’m not gonna lie actually shitting in a public restroom is fine, the annoying part is having to drive somewhere every time. I’d probably still do it.
paperbrilliant added a practical query:
Is it optional each day or do I have to keep the streak alive? Either way, I’m in. A system could be arranged to make this work.
Enshaden expressed his determination humorously:
I’d poop in front of a live studio audience for $1k a day.
J0zey considered the financial advantage:
On $365,000 a year, I’m sure the public restrooms I’ll be using will be very nice.
HeartKevinRose raised a valid concern:
My only question is what if there’s a late-night emergency? The closest 24-hour place is far.
hippoofdoom had a strategic approach:
Time to make a “poop ahead” plan. Map out ideal toilets and emergency spots, despite the rural challenge.
TheCastusDildo found a loophole:
Hell yes, I’ll take the deal. If it can be any public restroom, I’ll find the clean ones.
DaveTakingControl prodded at the rules:
If you poop only twice a week, maybe the deal should be $150 per day instead?
SpecificAstronaut69 pointed out:
I would take a small paper cut for much less than $365k per year, this seems like a no-brainer.
A320neo reflected a common sentiment:
People overestimate the dirtiness of public restrooms and underestimate the life impact of a $365k salary.
Belgand had a clever twist:
Create a public restroom with inconvenient hours and a high entry price, ensuring it remains technically public, but essentially private.
_The_Room saw a community benefit:
Neighbors with the same deal could coordinate their midnight poops, solving the timing issue.
soyboysnowflake suggested a residential solution:
Living in an apartment with a 24/hr gym means an always accessible bathroom.
ACivtech planned ahead:
I’d open a pay-to-enter public restroom right in front of my house.
early2000smovies wondered about alternatives:
Can I just dig a hole in the yard? That’s public-ish.
WeWander_ calculated the financial freedom:
With that salary, all my debt, except the mortgage, could be gone in a month.
