  • Disagree, if every user of these 10 apps did this it would end up a lot better for them all than every user choosing their favourite and giving them $50. If they choose randomly it would end up roughly the same, but in general people are going to end up skewing towards certain apps over others when forced to choose a favourite.

    And if doing it randomly ends up the same as splitting it on a large scale, I think this is the more sensible approach personally.





  • I’m not in USA but if there are 2 movie style bad guys and 1 says pick me I’ll kill strangers, and 2 says pick me I’ll kill strangers and your friends and family, maybe you as well, and then some random 3rd guy says, pick me or no one and I won’t kill anyone, but one of those 2 bad guys will be picked for you via a coin flip, but at least you get to feel good that you didn’t personally pick the death of people, it’s not illogical to pick the first one.

    Maybe you have such good morals you can pick the 3rd or refuse to pick at the expense of possibly additional people you care about, or maybe you don’t personally have anyone in your life that would be affected by the 2nd bad guy so it doesn’t matter to you, but if that’s the case, you’re equally guilty of choosing the choice that makes you feel good just because you don’t have to deal with the consequences of your choice and can ignore what’s actually happening.






  • First, I do get a different brand, that’s my point. Second, now you’re telling me to buy it in bulk to always have around? I don’t want to spend that much on an already expensive chocolate and it’ll probably just go fast from my kids anyway. Plus in summer it’ll either melt from the heat or be rock hard from being in the fridge, neither is ideal.

    Also, usually I’ll just buy it as a treat when we’re already out. If I’m trying to split a chocolate between 4 people at a shopping centre, I’m not going to be carrying around a knife, I want to be able to just easily break it into 4 sections. Nor am I going to think before we leave “I should grab 4 of those chocolates I bought online in my pocket in case we want some”.

    I have no problem just getting a different brand to avoid the hassle, all I’m saying is maybe I’d get theirs if it wasn’t designed so stupidly. But I’m sure they don’t care enough about getting business from 1 random guy to change it, so I’m fine getting others.

    If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it’s already become more hassle than it’s worth.

    They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.
