[SOLDIER First]

Nope.

The button instantly solves world hunger, but you will always feel like you're starving.

[NRDL]

Yes. Best case scenario, I hop on as much opiates as possible to dull the pain.  Worst case and the pain really never goes away, I can always off myself, and hopefully the world still stays improved.

The button gives you the power to heal anybody of any injury or illness as long as they're not dead yet, as many times as you want

BUT

You have to emotionally hurt one person every day in order to keep this healing power.

Yes, though I’d have to figure out how to do the thing which gives the healing power

This button when pressed evenly distributes all money equally to every person, but the former 1% form a gang to steal the money back from everyone else, and more

[MeimieFan88]

No, that does not sound like a good button to press.

This button turns everyones' hands into octopus tentacles.

[Uthimienure]

Yes, tentacles sound fun.

This button fixes all known & unknown bugs in DF 0.47.04 on your computer, BUT you lose the ability to communicate the bug fixes with everyone, including Toady, and nobody else can ever play that DF on your computer and you can not copy it anywhere.

[Superdorf]

Naw. Bugs are part of the DF experience!

Press the button, and somewhere, somehow, a person of your choice will be hit by a pie at a time of your choosing.
You will also be hit by a pie, sometime in the coming year. You don't know when.

[Naturegirl1999]

Yes, there is no limit to pie size, I could make a very large pie fall on the Pyongyang building, trapping the Kim family inside, thus eventually ending the dictatorship as they suffocate because of the lack of air, meanwhile, there’s lots of pie for those who need food. Unfortunately if the size used is the size that falls on me, a pie that big would probably destroy the college I’m in, if not the town, but what’s one town compared to ending an authoritarian state and in the process getting food to those in the country that need it?

This button will let you read the thoughts of a person of your choosing, but that person can also read your thoughts. (Reading thoughts being that you’re thinking your thoughts as well as person 2’s thoughts and vice versa. This may or may not affect metabolism/required energy consumption)

[VoidSlayer]

Yes!  Use the mutual mind reading to help vet people for high security positions or if it can effect multiple people at a distance become the center for some kind of feed back hive mind.

If you press the button a full functional space elevator will be created that you legally own somehow, but all music will be transformed into the one genre of music you really hate.

[SOLDIER First]

No. Legally owning a space elevator on its own isn't inherently useful enough to justify the music change. Also, I'd rather die than listen to music I hate.

You, your immediate family, your extended family, and any and all people currently living who are related to any of your great-great-great-grandparents instantly die, but climate change is solved, practical cold fusion for power generation is implemented, and world peace is achieved.

[Naturegirl1999]

Yes.

This button lets you know when crimes will happen, however the relevant authorities never listen to you no matter how much evidence you provide, forcing you to do the work that you were probably not trained to do

[King Zultan]

No, as I don't have enough money to become Batman.

This button gives you 500 Billion dollars that you can spend anyway you want, but it kills all your family and friends.

[NRDL]

No thanks. Becoming a billionaire by normal, non-button means would require a complete lack of ethics and empathy anyways, I've already figured I wouldn't want to be that kind of person.




The button lets you bring back any extinct species back from the dead, in the numbers that they had in their prime

But

if the species dies off AGAIN, you die too.

[Starver]

I would like plenty of time to ponder what 'my' species is. Not to protect myself (for I will die anyway, probably before they all do), but to choose wisely.

If I can't take my time, no. For a random 'vanity' choice, like plesiasaur, neanderthal, dodo, great awk, mammoth, passenger pigeon or other instant decision, their ecological niche is probably now filled/missing in the current evolution/man-influenced world, their original predators and foodsources gone, changed and/or working with another creature. They'd be a pest or wouldn't long (re)outlast me. Or both. And imagine I got angry, when pressed and decided something like the smallpox bacillum?


The button makes personal antigravity belts a thing, but utterly disinvents the refridgerator.

[Naturegirl1999]

Nope, that will allow most of our food to rot, and cause even more hunger than what’s currently happening

This button causes peace among all humans, however, all humans are teleported to a new planet and have to learn to survive it

[A_Curious_Cat]

Oh Yeah!  Time to do some _Amazing_ social sciences experiments.

For example, how long does it take them to mess up this new planet compared to the old one?

Pressing the button makes the final version of DF available.  It also kills Toady One, and counts as "foul play" for the purposes of his will.
