    I’m a big guy so my weight in gold is pretty compelling tbh.

    I’d probably do anything not deadly or grievously injuring for $7.5M in gold in one day.

      Come on, give us something precise.

      Crossing the street is potentially deadly or grievously injuring and yet we do it every day. And for free!

        I guess I mean anything nearly guaranteed to risk grievous injury like getting hit by a bus or something. If I can still use the 7.5mil after the day’s over I’ll do it all.

    I don’t think any reasonable person would actually turn down their weight in gold for one unpleasant day of work, unless there was a high probability of grievous injury or death to themselves or others.

    But if we’re just being hyperbolic, I deliberately never worked in the food industry. I knew if I worked in food somewhere, I would get sick if it and never want to eat there again.

        Have at it. A big nope from me. I watched a couple of videos of guys climbing those things and working on them and about died of anxiety. Even with all the proper safety gear, I’m sure I’d get a ways up and just freeze in fear.

        I’d rather take on some of the other “nopes” in this thread; military or law enforcement. I could be a lazy ass do nothing cop for a day. Seems to work for quite a few cops.

          I respect that.

          For some reason I can’t explain, I find myself more attracted by intense situations as I grow older, which goes completely against all basic rules of self preservation.

    Selling things to people who shouldn’t have it or need it. Money doesn’t mean shit if you’re fucking people over.

    Executioner for the US prison system. In some states it’s a real job, and it’s not a doctor, it’s just whoever is sociopathic enough to want to do it.

    First thing that comes to my mind is something military-like or something that involves killing People (innocent or not).
