they say everyone has a price. i think that's actually true, for probably 99.9999% of all humans. what price would you sell your soul for?

defining "your soul" as "whatever it is about you that is of infinite and ultimate importance". if you don't believe there can be any kind of afterlife or way your consciousness lives on, then lets say "selling your soul" means "doing a thing you would otherwise definitely never do and would hate yourself for doing"

so, with that said

how much?

Suppose a man shows up at my door and gives me a box. He says with the press of a button, my simple wooden box will bestow some amount of money; however, a mod somewhere else will be permabanned, at the same time.

Well suppose that amount of money is $5. I guess would push the button at least 20 or 30 times.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
selling your 'soul' is a dumb question for a forum full of edgelords and atheists who put a price of approximately zero on such a thing

so my answer depends on how long it would take. like if it takes an hour to sign all the paperwork I'll need at least fifty bucks to make it worth it, maybe 100 because it's my free time, presumably I couldn't take work off to do it

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
I don't understand how you would sell that
always seemed like a nonsensical concept to me

not that I object to it metaphysically, I just don't understand what's supposed to happen
how do you conceptualize the soul as both the fundamental component of self, but also experientially separate from the self?

if it was "sell your sense of humor", ok, I can picture that. I wouldn't find things funny anymore. I can imagine the before and after
but the soul is too big of a constituent part

to me that's like if you said "what would it take for you to sell every part of you except for your hair?"
I'd be like, "what? slow down, wait, what the gently caress kind of question is that? are you saying afterward I'd just be a pile of hair?"

I don't know why nobody else struggles with this

man. that's tough. man. lose a whole hand, never play guitar again. i guess 25 mil could buy a good prosthetic and you could even pay someone to wipe your butt or jerk you off, but man.

i think i'd need at least 100 million for that

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
My price is about 35 bucks an hour. I'd let anyone suck my dick if they gave me that much for every hour they sucked it.

5 hour minimum charge though.

this was on my mind because i woke up with a craving for deviled eggs and made a dozen for lunch (so 24 halves) and ate half of them and ooof

so for 50 i'd have to... purge... at some point

Idk sounds like one fat kid, he's probably not long for the world. I generally stop short of encouraging worldwide cannibalism though!
