Hypo: $4M, but someone breaks a glass overnight in your house 1x per year
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 11th, 2026 5:40 PM Author: Nazca Redlines You get $4M, tax free today.
Then, approximately once per year for the rest of your life, someone will break a glass in your house overnight, in the wee hours of the morning. If you have suitable glasses (or beer bottles, etc.) it might be one of those. If you don't, it'll be a random, standard glass, wine glass, beer bottle, etc.
The glass will shatter in the way a glass typically does when dropped onto a tile floor from a few feet up.
But, it'll happen in a random location in your house. It's just as likely to be a carpeted corner of your living room as it is on the middle of the tile in your bathroom.
The "someone" who breaks the glass is kind of like a ghost or apparition. Not in a spooky way. Just the glass kind of breaks on its own, when no one is around.
Do you accept? |
Date: February 11th, 2026 5:47 PM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., Sure, seems ok. My wife’s job is now to put on her house boots and scan the house for broken glass every morning. Worst case I step on a piece of glass when I get up which is NBD. After that we do whatever. Beats current setup. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833788&forum_id=2#49664072) |

Date: February 11th, 2026 5:52 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Stepping on a piece of glass sucks. It's definitely not NBD. And the Fear of the potential for it every step, every day would be stressful.
How does the $4M change your life? |

Date: February 11th, 2026 5:56 PM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., I never again am required to converse with a woman who does an office job. I can pick a piece of glass out of my foot if necessary. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833788&forum_id=2#49664090) |

Date: February 11th, 2026 6:05 PM Author: Nazca Redlines What's your strategy? Are you wearing shoes in the house all the time, or are you just going to slide and let do? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833788&forum_id=2#49664107) |
|
Date: February 11th, 2026 6:20 PM Author: Darnell slide and let do. i wear socks at home all the time.
thinking about it more, i'd probably shuffle more instead of stepping |

Date: February 11th, 2026 6:24 PM Author: Nazca Redlines I don't think socks alone are cr for this hypo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833788&forum_id=2#49664137) |
|
Date: February 11th, 2026 6:26 PM Author: Darnell socks + shuffling means i'll run into glass instead of stepping on it.
maybe i'll adopt house shoes like these

Date: February 11th, 2026 8:06 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) couldn't you just install those ground motion sensor lazers like that european guy dances through in Ocean 12 and program them to only go off in a certain zone if they're only tripped in that zone. that way you'd know exactly where the glass was broken and could dispatch your robot vacuum to sweep that shit up wtf easy af hypo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833788&forum_id=2#49664335) |
|
Date: February 11th, 2026 9:59 PM Author: Nazca Redlines The glass will just sort of appear broken. It'll be an ethereal and undetectable presence until it's at rest, broken and on the ground. So, no motion detectors. They won't work.
I guess you could rig up some sort of camera and AI analysis system to detect the changes on the floor, if you're able and inclined.
Robo vacuum is OK, but it's probably not good at getting up all tiny pieces of glass. And it's definitely not good at getting into corners, in tight spaces, etc. |
|
Date: February 12th, 2026 11:25 AM Author: Darnell i think running a robo vacuum at 4AM every morning and arranging furniture to eliminate small spaces would be the way to go.
on top of socks/slippers/shuffling |

Date: February 12th, 2026 11:30 AM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) Why is this at all concerning? Are people imagining that because glass is usually clear, you wouldn’t be able to see it when you start walking around the next morning? Wouldn’t you just see it and sweep it up? I probably average one broken glass a year anyway, so this would make two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833788&forum_id=2#49665663) |

|
Date: February 12th, 2026 12:26 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Broken glass is a bit of a pain when you know it's there and can clean it up. It would be a much bigger burden not knowing when and where you have a broken glass--only that about once per year, you will have a broken glass.
So are you in? Are you taking any steps to avoid stepping in broken glass, or are you just not going to worry about it? |

Date: February 12th, 2026 1:10 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) Presumably I would have the ability to put all the movable glass (i.e. except windows) to a certain location. And I could avoid buying furniture with glass moving forward. I'm also pretty sure I'd hear a broken window at night.
$4m is way too much. Fuck yes I accept |
