But someone posted on Reddit that they made a One Piece mobile game, using the logo and characters and everything. And they posted it on like 8 subreddits.

The r/gamedev post has hundreds of comments talking about copyright law. And OP isn't acknowledging it.
Maybe just overwhelmed from it getting so much traction.

Big viral discussion about:
- a red pill / button
- a blue pill / button
I've seen it both ways. Either a pill you take or a button you press. 



if more than 50% of people do the blue one, everyone lives. Otherwise, only the red one lives. 


I think the problem is, that the framing is vague. You can have completely different take aways with it. 
- you can envision that red is putting blue in danger
- you can envision that blue is putting themselves in danger

Neither one is wrong with how vague the original framing is.

If I just saw the text, of course i'd pick red. Because it is the only smart one.

But then I saw how many people pick blue, and that really changed my opinion. Voting red becomes a vote to kill them. While voting blue becomes a way to save the idiots from themselves.

It's really interesting imo.


Like say you modify it so that there is a 1% chance your button press gets recorded wrong. Red becomes only 99% safe. Blue becomes 100% safe if the majority press it and 1% safe if the minority press it. With that setup, blue becomes the safer choice if you believe others will also press blue.
