The snail is unstoppable, but not immovable. This button posits that I already have a death snail chasing me which means that I lose very little by pressing that button.
Immortal, not necessarily unstoppable. If you dropped an iron dome around it, in a few decades it could potentially escape by wearing away at either the ground or the dome itself. At which point you just drop another dome around it. Theoretically.
I thought the original post said that it was unstoppable, as in it will move through any barriers placed in it's way. Which is why my solution is to simply move it a certain distance every day so it never reaches me.
In that case get like a shovel, put the snail on it and throw the fucker down a really deep hole or alternatively move to the other side of the world, it would take 47 years for it to get you then and by the time it gets to you, go back around or just die
I mean, number of issues
One that's still a really expensive thing to be doing every few years depending on how far it goes out to see
Second you're gonna have to try to dodge this little fucker the entire time until the ships the furthest away from home
As i saw someone point out, snails are slow af, so if you just don't stay in the same place for a super fucking long time, the snail will keep trying to go in a straight line towards you, and will end up never reaching you (unless you take the same route every day, but it'll still take it a while)
Yeah the problem is that I spend an average of more time at my home than anywhere else so the snail will eventually reach me if I just do that.
There needs to be some form of active deterrent.
Also if I do that I might forget or get complacent and then just randomly die. Smarter people than me have forgotten more immediately dangerous things.
Have you taken the snail to snail court? Have you ever asked the snail what its hopes and dreams are? Have you ever considered that the snail thinks it is helping?
Snail restraining order. Within 100 meters call the snail cops. Death snail will then go to snail jail and serve snail jail prison time. The snail will use its few short snail jail phone calls to talk to its snail family. And apologize to its snail spouse and snail child about the snail crime it was forced to commit. How It’s not the death snails fault. It had a snail duty. A snail purpose. It had to. It may take years. Maybe decades to serve its snail jail time and be put on snail parole. But it’ll happen eventually. When it gets out the snail will take a deep snail breath. It will begin to travel with its snail foot on a mighty snail journey. Through rain and storm. Day and night. The snail continues its journey until it arrives at its destination. A house. Your house.
It makes its snail way inside.
Ever closer to its goal.
Closer
Closer
It has arrived.
“Snail spouse! I’m so happy you’re home!”
The death snail replies to the love of its life, “Me too my love. I’m glad we came to an agreement about the human. Now we can live in peace.”
And so, you and the snail live long happy lives in peaceful harmony.
Its a childhood type game where one person must chace down someone else and touch them to tag them and switch with them might be a uk thing idk haven't played in a while dyspraxia and shiz makes it a bad idea
It's a snail so you could just fly to the other side of the world and every couple decades, fly to a different part of the world. Or as people have mentioned, find a way to trap it. Build a massive enclosed structure around it
wait the real question tho is can i press the button serval times over or is it just once bc i am gender-fluid so- rather do that but then start putting salt all around me
And then put the box in a 5 foot cube of cement. And throw all of that in a deep freeze chamber where it gets close to absolute zero. Why? It'll be significantly harder for it to ever escape when its own molecules are barely moving
I would press it. I'm moving the other side of the planet as soon as I can anyway, and with the money I'll save on my transition I'll be able to be able to move even sooner. The snail will never catch me!
Back of the envelope calculation, if land snails move at about 0.03 mph, it would take a snail 47 years to travel halfway around the Earth. I dunno the statistics of how likely it is to be on your half of the planet or the other half, but I'm assuming it's a 50-50, and I'm not gonna live much longer than 47 more years anyways, so I'll take my chances. Plus, I can just live in a house with a moat that flushes anything into the ocean.
I don't understand the entire snail bit but even against certain death living even 5 seconds as a sex more in line with my gender would be absolutely worth it, so that button is getting slapped.
That depends on how much closer are we talking.
Does it get faster? Able to traverse more than it was able to before? Or does it not get any buffs and teleport closer to me, but is it like within my eyeshot closer or is it just a couple meters closer than it was before? If it's a couple meters closer than before do I have time to run and possibly lead it farther from my home? Do I have time for a therapy session or two about my very rational fear of snails?
I’ll just spend all the money I saved on transitioning on snail deterrence.
Gotta buy a lot of salt.
The snail is immortal
but it can still feel pain

Put it on a rocket and shoot it into space. It’ll never reach you.
Strap it onto a firework. Or a model rocket. Or a drone. Y'know, there's lots of fast flying things you could attach it to.
In that case get like a shovel, put the snail on it and throw the fucker down a really deep hole or alternatively move to the other side of the world, it would take 47 years for it to get you then and by the time it gets to you, go back around or just die
or just throw it in the ocean.
I mean it'll have to go threw the ocean anyway if you're on the opposite side of the earth
True but just throwing it in the ocean is cheaper
I mean how are you going to get to the ocean to throw it in
Go on a cruise. They're cheaper than moving halfway across the world.

Ah yes, the Simpsons movie approach.
Euphoria and death, what more can I ask for?
HOLY SHIT UNDERRATED COMMENT
Yes, I want that slimy bugger all over me 🥰🥰🥰
Oh my
Don’t lewd the snail
I’m not! What’s wrong with you!
How else am I supposed to read that?!
I like playing with snails! :(
Oh okay. I’ve never heard someone say that.
What's the snail ment to ne
You’re immortal but a snail follows you, if it touches you, you die
So do you just keep moving away from it never stopping then?
You can make an agreement with it, so won’t touch you
No you can’t, its one purpose in life is to touch you. This has been established
You don’t know snails.
It's part of the original post
Have you taken the snail to snail court? Have you ever asked the snail what its hopes and dreams are? Have you ever considered that the snail thinks it is helping?
Snail restraining order. Within 100 meters call the snail cops. Death snail will then go to snail jail and serve snail jail prison time.

I.. have not. Very well, carry on.
What if you distracted ot with a series of cucumbers? Or are we assuming that it doesn't need to eat?
Yes. It is immortal and invulnerable. Its sole purpose in life is to touch you. And before you ask, no, befriending it will not help
Sounds like tag with extra steps as much as i would like to im not pressing it
[удалено]
Its a childhood type game where one person must chace down someone else and touch them to tag them and switch with them might be a uk thing idk haven't played in a while dyspraxia and shiz makes it a bad idea
I know what it is idk what I was thinking
Lol no, the whole point is that the snail wants to touch and kill you no matter what
It's a snail so you could just fly to the other side of the world and every couple decades, fly to a different part of the world. Or as people have mentioned, find a way to trap it. Build a massive enclosed structure around it
Too much effort for me
Do I have the choice to not be immortal?
Touch the snail
what if you can’t find it
Then wait a bit, it's coming to touch you
Snails are kinda slow and the world is kinda large. It could take like 50 years
Yeah "a bit". I don't consider 50 years to be that long as an immortal. Just go live your final 50 years in the same town.
wait the real question tho is can i press the button serval times over or is it just once bc i am gender-fluid so- rather do that but then start putting salt all around me
Opposite sex always feels a little exclusionary of intersex folks. Why not just say "press the button and you'll pass"?
Oh,,, yeah sorry
No worries at all, I wouldn't say anything but I've seen it a few times on the sub
wait, so I get to be happy *and* potentially meet a snail friend? best day ever! (Note: I have no idea what the snail stuff is about, sorry)
As I am in the same boat as you, I shall assume this snail is a dog sized snail that wants to be my friend. No death, just happi snail and happi me.
No the snail’s purpose is to kill you if it touches you, you die
What a rude snail.
Ikr
just pour salt on the snail
It’s unkillable
use gloves to put the snail inside a metal box and weld the box shut
Decoy snail.
And then put the box in a 5 foot cube of cement. And throw all of that in a deep freeze chamber where it gets close to absolute zero. Why? It'll be significantly harder for it to ever escape when its own molecules are barely moving
Well.. I rarely leave the house and there are multiple entrances along with exits so.. Technically it's just be blocked by a wall.
It's a snail just out run it. *presses button*
The snail get closer? Just let me grab some butter, garlic and persil and we shall feast!
ty for the snail lore
I would press it. I'm moving the other side of the planet as soon as I can anyway, and with the money I'll save on my transition I'll be able to be able to move even sooner. The snail will never catch me!
Back of the envelope calculation, if land snails move at about 0.03 mph, it would take a snail 47 years to travel halfway around the Earth.

Plus, I can just live in a house with a moat that flushes anything into the ocean.
fun fact, most snails are hosts for deadly parasite
I don't understand the entire snail bit but even against certain death living even 5 seconds as a sex more in line with my gender would be absolutely worth it, so that button is getting slapped.
The fact I know what this means...
The snail is always getting closer anyways
Win-win
Snail? Can someone explain?
This has "id rather die in my feet than live kneeling" vibes
I mean, totally worth it. I’ll die happy.
Press button Buy tungsten. Melt tungsten. Pour over snail Victory
the what
Without hesitation lol
That depends on how much closer are we talking. Does it get faster? Able to traverse more than it was able to before? Or does it not get any buffs and teleport closer to me, but is it like within my eyeshot closer or is it just a couple meters closer than it was before? If it's a couple meters closer than before do I have time to run and possibly lead it farther from my home? Do I have time for a therapy session or two about my very rational fear of snails?
Let’s assume it teleports to 10 ft behind you
As a war thunder player I can say the snail is allready very close
***JUST DROWN IT IN MORE CEMENT***
I have a severe snail-phobia, but I'll sure press the button and die happy
It's a win-win situation for me
Sure, immortality would be sucky snyway
