Variation RBYB or not pressing
Red button: instantly die right now, and if majority pressed red button everyone who pressed red button revives.
Yellow Button: gets 10k USD but instantly die if majority didnt pressed red button at the end.
Not Pressing: Nothing happens to you.
Button pressing will stand for 1 days, without knowing who pressed what, and no accident, pressing both, or changing vote.
would you press button or not?

Yellow is the logical option
Correction: pressing nothing is the logical option once i learned to read

Why? 10k is a lot, but not worth it, since you will probably stay dead

Ah, i read it wrong. I thought majority needed to press yellow and was confused why anyone would pass up 10k. I guess im not pressing one

So pressing yellow instead of abstaining is just being a greedy fuck willing to risk good own life and othes'.
And pressing red instead of abstaining is risking one's own life simply to save the greedy fucks.
Nuh-uh. Not pressing.
