“I bet it doesn’t hurt that bad, I don’t have time for this shit.”

“at least one”

 

sexhaver:

now this is a gender binary i can get behind

 

carnival-phantasm:

Very generous of them to describe it as the “Thinking Period”

 

retiredmahoushoujo:

They correctly excluded the outlier Electroshocks Georg

 

shacklesburst:

everything about this is extremely underpowered, except for electroshocks georg, who, by now, must be extremely overpowered

 

rustingbridges:

you’d think they would have been able to get more than 50 undergraduates to do. it doesn’t take a long time and requires answering no surveys

Also, psych researchers have a reputation for lying their asses off to the subjects regarding [what a study is actually about] until after it’s over. I would seriously consider pressing the button once or twice just to see if they were telling the truth about it being a shock button.

(Not sure if I’d *do* it, but I’d seriously consider it, and I would definitely wonder if it was some sort of covert test that I was failing by not pressing it.)
