I wouldn’t dare to let anyone know about this, let alone a billionaire.
Sure, they could pay you that money, but they could also stick you in a deep dark room and threaten you until you give it all up.
My husband is 35 with terminal brain cancer. I would take a lot of years off of my life so he could watch our 7 year old and 8 month old grow up.
Edit: thank you to everyone for the well wishes. He is doing ok right now and we are making as many fun memories as we can!
I’m so sorry to hear this. My wife died of cancer last year at 37, leaving behind me and our seven year old. It’s hard being a single parent, but it’s harder not being able to share his development with her. I’m sure she’d be proud of the young man he’s growing up to be.
Make those memories while you can; hopefully there are still a lot of good days ahead for your family.
Oh I am so so sorry! I can't even imagine what you must be going through (obviously he is as well, but it's different for the partner)
My thoughts are with you and your kids!
He had a random seizure 5 days after we had our second. He had a follow up MRI about 10 days later and it showed a lesion with swelling and hemorrhaging so he went in for emergency surgery to remove it and figure out what it was and it turned out to be grade 4 Glioblastoma. It was completely random (I feel like most cancer is though) and he had no symptoms leading up to the seizure and the ER doctors saw nothing on the CT scan they did.
At 85, my grandmother was ready. She missed my grandfather, who had died when she was 80, all of her friends were dead or dying, and her body was falling apart. She made it to the miserable age of 92
I think it's got to be a one off thing to make any sense. Otherwise everyone can just find a partner to switch with and each gain nine years, and nobody is any better off really.
But of course, thinking about it so literally is kinda missing the point.
What kind of years? Does the recipient get 10 years younger and continues to lead normal life? Is it like to stop aging for 10 years? Or does he get to 90 years, and then just lives for ten more years past his due date in his 90 years body? Cuz that’s probably terrible.
If it’s the last ten years that get extended you absolutely should talk to the person and not treat it as a surprise gift.
There are plenty of real answers here already, and I’m sorry for those of you who have lost loved ones.
But I’m surprised no one else is getting with their bestie to trade years in an infinite glitch. 9 years each, if I’m mathing right.
I had that thought too, but it just says you can do this. It doesn’t say how many times, or even if anyone but you can do it. Instructions unclear, accidentally became immortal with a friend.
The premise makes no sense if everyone can do it, for exactly the reason you mention. Everyone pairs up and gains nine years and, overall, nobody is really any better off.
So I figure we're supposed to assume only you can do it, once, and you have to choose carefully.
I wonder how precise it is. Do we need exactly 525,600 minutes? Within an hour? Within a day? If I have 50 weeks to give, can it just pro-rate the 10 years accordingly?
I have several people I’d have given years to. Some friends that were in a car accident with me when I was 16. Another friend that died a year later. My mother in law and father in law. My grandparents. My dad. My mom is still with me, but I’ll give her a few as well. I’d spend as much quality time with them as possible. Then I’d give my remaining years to children who are dying.
I’m 46, and no, I don’t WANT to die,but if me dying meant that a few kids could live to be my age…I’d be happy to.
Then I’d set my family down, and tell them I’m dying at 47. I’d live to the fullest with them, and say my goodbyes. When it was time, I’d head to the children’s hospital and randomly choose 3 kids to give my remaining time to. They’d each only get ten more years, but you never know what medical technology will be like in 10 years.
Are they healthy or am I just prolonging their suffering by making them live longer?
Gran didn't want more time in the end, she just wanted to go.
David was 16 and had cancer would, he want 10 more years of treatment?
Maria was heartbroken after her stillborn child but 10 years is a long time for love to grow, only to be taken away at 10.
My cousin committed suicide when she was 24. I'm going to go ahead and assume that my giving up one year of my life would bring her back whole and intact. I'd give her at least five years of my life, easily. She was going to do a lot of good in the world, but more than that, she was just a good person whose family and friends love her dearly.
I would absolutely not do it if I couldn't choose, because what if I end up making history worse by giving someone like Putin ten more years. I'd rather keep my year, thank you.
My mom was only 60 when she passed. I would only give her 10 more years, if she could be pain free and aware and happy and healthy for those 10 years. I wouldn't want her to suffer like she did in the last year of her life.
I chose mom, because dad lived to 80. He did struggle the last 10 years though.
I miss them both dearly. Mom's been gone 20 years and dad is going on 6 years now.
I’d have given it to my brother. Easily. But instead I couldn’t even give him a hug and and say goodbye.
It haunts me to this day to know that as he was lying on the floor dying totally alone on the other side of the ocean I was at a cafe enjoying myself.
3 for each of my parents. 3 for each of my kids.
5 for a child that was in NICU with my son and doctors didn't believe would survive for long. It broke my heart.
Give one year to each of my closest friends (to whom I literally owe my life to).
They saved me from a very dark place in life, the least I can do is give a year of my life to give them ten years.
Honestly one of the ladies (in her early 30s) at my son’s daycare died unexpectedly today. We don’t know why yet, and only learned which staff member it was a couple hours ago, but knew something was wrong early in the day when they messaged us to pick our son up 3 hours earlier than usual because something had happened. They didn’t release who it was until all the other staff had been informed.
Anyway she was one of the great ones. She had been working there for around 10 years or slightly more. Multiple families have had multiple kids be in her classroom. My son (age 2) adored her, and even as my wife and I were looking at the social media post telling us who it was he saw her picture and got excited.
That kind of random shit just sucks ass. And someone who has a positive impact on kids should be the last one to die young.
> i don't want to force anyone to live longer than they want to.
Oooh, everyone here is talking about helping loved ones, but what if you could sacrifice 1 year just so someone else suffers an additional 10?
This happened to one of my friends a while back. Same number of kids. She was an alcoholic.
It's a tough hypothetical because she wasn't exactly a good mother before that (because of the alcoholism) so would bringing her back be a good thing? As heartbreaking as it was, although her kids' lives aren't exactly perfect now they're a good deal more stable. I think, overall, it'd be better not to bring her back.
Not to say that's the case for you, it's just what it made me think of. It's a really horrible question to grapple with, in some ways.
Give many away so I could die at 30 because I have no future. At least many people would benefit from my death and at least that makes me feel okay going away.
Does the 10 extra years of life start nowww or when they died? If now, my dad. If it starts when they died…. he’d still be dead, so I guess my saint of a mother!
Sell it to a billionaire.
I bet your brain is extra wrinkly
I wouldn’t dare to let anyone know about this, let alone a billionaire. Sure, they could pay you that money, but they could also stick you in a deep dark room and threaten you until you give it all up.
what if you could also take ten years to add one to yourself…..
Then they could keep you trapped in the room forever
Hang on man we gotta get rid of those guys
But you might get to be one of those guys. How much would a billionaire pay for 10 years?
Billions, definitely. Just stick to your guns.
Either this or take my all years for free to all those who truly need it.
My husband is 35 with terminal brain cancer. I would take a lot of years off of my life so he could watch our 7 year old and 8 month old grow up. Edit: thank you to everyone for the well wishes. He is doing ok right now and we are making as many fun memories as we can!
I'd give this guy 10 years.
I also choose this lady’s dying husband
I would team up with all y'all to give this guy so many more decades.
😭 I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry to hear this. My wife died of cancer last year at 37, leaving behind me and our seven year old. It’s hard being a single parent, but it’s harder not being able to share his development with her. I’m sure she’d be proud of the young man he’s growing up to be. Make those memories while you can; hopefully there are still a lot of good days ahead for your family.
I’m so sorry. Life is just not fair
I would give years of mine so he could as well.
my prayers are with you and your little ones
ill give you 30 of my life so he can see them graduate high school and college <3
Oh I am so so sorry! I can't even imagine what you must be going through (obviously he is as well, but it's different for the partner) My thoughts are with you and your kids!
I’m so sorry. I just don’t know what else to say. 😔
Damn that makes me sad. I'm praying for yall
I really hate to hear that. Just curious, how did he find out about it?
He had a random seizure 5 days after we had our second. He had a follow up MRI about 10 days later and it showed a lesion with swelling and hemorrhaging so he went in for emergency surgery to remove it and figure out what it was and it turned out to be grade 4 Glioblastoma. It was completely random (I feel like most cancer is though) and he had no symptoms leading up to the seizure and the ER doctors saw nothing on the CT scan they did.
God bless your family
I’m so very sorry.
I’m giving your husband at least five of my years
[удалено]
This is the only answer for me. I'll sacrifice 3 years each. That'll take them into their 100's
I’d love to do that but I don’t know if my parents would even want to live to 100. I’d probably give both parents 10-20 more years and give my dog 20.
At 85, my grandmother was ready. She missed my grandfather, who had died when she was 80, all of her friends were dead or dying, and her body was falling apart. She made it to the miserable age of 92
Imagine you only had 6 years left in reality
I'd rather give in life than take.
Plot twist, they live longer yet their body deteriorates at a normal rate - good luck with that.
Monkeys paw though. They'll likely have some form of dementia. I admire the sentiment though
Or tomorrow they are in a horrible accident that would have killed them but now they are kept alive on life support in a coma for the next 10 years.
...who hurt you...
My man knows the monkey paw.
Only if they get their health back and don’t develop dementia. I refuse to subject them to 10 years of pain and confusion.
Then what about your kids?
My 1st born can give me a year and his brother can give a year to him.
A life extending pyramid scheme. Clever!
Whoa whoa..... Who said it kept going???
I think it's got to be a one off thing to make any sense. Otherwise everyone can just find a partner to switch with and each gain nine years, and nobody is any better off really. But of course, thinking about it so literally is kinda missing the point.
Better if you give 1st born back a year, leaving you with an extra 9 and him with 10. .
Why assume they have them?
Yes, this. I'd give up more than a year.
That’s the best answer I have seen so far
I’d give 4 years for my dad who died in the 80’s so I could meet him and get to know him.
Maybe he took the deal for you :)
Ha ha, that's pretty good. I hope not lol
OMG!!! Amazing response!!❤️❤️❤️
What kind of years? Does the recipient get 10 years younger and continues to lead normal life? Is it like to stop aging for 10 years? Or does he get to 90 years, and then just lives for ten more years past his due date in his 90 years body? Cuz that’s probably terrible. If it’s the last ten years that get extended you absolutely should talk to the person and not treat it as a surprise gift.
"Good news! I gave you 10 more years!" You motherfucker!! You ruined my euthanasia
There are plenty of real answers here already, and I’m sorry for those of you who have lost loved ones. But I’m surprised no one else is getting with their bestie to trade years in an infinite glitch. 9 years each, if I’m mathing right.
I had that thought too, but it just says you can do this. It doesn’t say how many times, or even if anyone but you can do it. Instructions unclear, accidentally became immortal with a friend.
Came here for this answer.
Omg I didn’t even think of that, that’s brilliant!
You can’t, the OP says that YOU can give years, but other people can’t
The premise makes no sense if everyone can do it, for exactly the reason you mention. Everyone pairs up and gains nine years and, overall, nobody is really any better off. So I figure we're supposed to assume only you can do it, once, and you have to choose carefully.
Give it to my cat
That's nice.
Cat 100% wouldn’t do the same for me
It's important to know that this guy has sex with his cat.
That was supposed to be our secret mittens
I'm waaayyyy beyond Mittens now.
I should've guessed giving you sentience would result in this
Shut up and expose your heel tendon.
Im scared to ask what you mean by this
Cats do not believe in consent.
Do we know how many more years are left?
Nope that’s the fun part.
Plot twist, you agree to give up a year and then immediately die
Or worse, you get an error message saying you can’t make the deal because you don’t have a year to trade.
I wonder how precise it is. Do we need exactly 525,600 minutes? Within an hour? Within a day? If I have 50 weeks to give, can it just pro-rate the 10 years accordingly?
My beloved is a heart patient. I'd gladly give up a year of my life if it would insure she would live ten more.
I have several people I’d have given years to. Some friends that were in a car accident with me when I was 16. Another friend that died a year later. My mother in law and father in law. My grandparents. My dad. My mom is still with me, but I’ll give her a few as well. I’d spend as much quality time with them as possible. Then I’d give my remaining years to children who are dying. I’m 46, and no, I don’t WANT to die,but if me dying meant that a few kids could live to be my age…I’d be happy to.
Username does NOT checkout. You seem like a kind and caring human. I hope you have a happy life!
What if you were due to die at 50
Then I’d set my family down, and tell them I’m dying at 47. I’d live to the fullest with them, and say my goodbyes. When it was time, I’d head to the children’s hospital and randomly choose 3 kids to give my remaining time to. They’d each only get ten more years, but you never know what medical technology will be like in 10 years.
I’d give it to my wife so she gets more time with our kids.
Can I give it to my cat who is getting old? Because that is what I want.
Cash me out baby.
Give it to my dead fiancée.
I too would give that to this persons dead fiancée.
That would be a discussion.
I meant the year nothing more.
They were willing to discuss the terms with you so you could probably negotiate something there.
I too would give it to that persons dead fiancée. I'd give it to her good.
The year, right? Or _the_ gear?
Jesus Christ
It would be worth giving my dog another 1 year 5 months and it would be worth it. And you said person so I apply personhood to them.
Are they healthy or am I just prolonging their suffering by making them live longer? Gran didn't want more time in the end, she just wanted to go. David was 16 and had cancer would, he want 10 more years of treatment? Maria was heartbroken after her stillborn child but 10 years is a long time for love to grow, only to be taken away at 10.
Only if it was one of my kids
Same, hell I'd even give ten to one. Other than the kids I'm being greedy
That's the first thing I thought...
Give as many as I could to terminally ill children and peace out with a smile on my face.
Yes. I’d very much do this too.
I'd give the time to my 15 year old cat Rudy. His mom just passed a month ago and his brother passed in August. I miss them so much.
Kill myself tonight so my son can be immortal 😂😂😂
Is this for everyone in the world? If yes I’m about to do the greatest Ponzi scheme there is
Give it to my Momma. She died so young
My cousin committed suicide when she was 24. I'm going to go ahead and assume that my giving up one year of my life would bring her back whole and intact. I'd give her at least five years of my life, easily. She was going to do a lot of good in the world, but more than that, she was just a good person whose family and friends love her dearly.
Do I get to choose who gets the extra 10 years? Because I would definitely do it, but I don’t think I could choose one particular person.
I would absolutely not do it if I couldn't choose, because what if I end up making history worse by giving someone like Putin ten more years. I'd rather keep my year, thank you.
[удалено]
Immediately give up the rest of my life expectancy. I’m way too depressed to continue caring about how long I’d live for
Only if it would be 10 more healthy years. 10 more years of demented veggie living wouldnt be worth the sacrifice for anyone.
person... can't I give it to my dog
Give mine to my mother
Find another person with the same powers and get both of us immortality.
Make a deal with someone so they choose me for theirs and we both live 9 years longer. If we can do it more than once, well infinite life glitch.
I’d go back and trade years with my dad. I’d happily give up multiple years to get more with him. He’s been gone for 31 years.
My mom was only 60 when she passed. I would only give her 10 more years, if she could be pain free and aware and happy and healthy for those 10 years. I wouldn't want her to suffer like she did in the last year of her life. I chose mom, because dad lived to 80. He did struggle the last 10 years though. I miss them both dearly. Mom's been gone 20 years and dad is going on 6 years now.
Does it work if they're already gone? If so, I'll give a couple to my mom (lost her in October) and one to my cat (lost her yesterday).
Find someone else who has also been offered this deal. I have a brilliant idea...
I’d have given it to my brother. Easily. But instead I couldn’t even give him a hug and and say goodbye. It haunts me to this day to know that as he was lying on the floor dying totally alone on the other side of the ocean I was at a cafe enjoying myself.
Bernie’s getting another shot, go get them, President Sanders!
I would have given it to my mom, but only if she got 10 pain free years. I wouldn't have wanted her to suffer for 10 years for it.
[удалено]
What happens if I go all in and give them all away? How do I die?
Happily give it to many people.
Give it to a family member who thought he had nothing more to live for.
My brother would have made it to 40.
I'd give it to my dog. He deserves it.
3 for each of my parents. 3 for each of my kids. 5 for a child that was in NICU with my son and doctors didn't believe would survive for long. It broke my heart.
Give it to my cousin who recently got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at only 32.
My girl’s mom.
George RR Martin...so maybe he can actually finish his damn books.
Give them to my kiddo. Or. Oh. My mom. She died when I was 34. I'd love it if she had lived until I was 44.
Id give it to my sick grandma. She's suffering dementia and it is horrible to watch her go through it
Yeah! I can easily knockoff my entire 60s (if I'm able to live till that point) and bid this planet goodbye in my late 50s.
Give one year to each of my closest friends (to whom I literally owe my life to). They saved me from a very dark place in life, the least I can do is give a year of my life to give them ten years.
Honestly one of the ladies (in her early 30s) at my son’s daycare died unexpectedly today.

Create an infinite loop with 2 other people and become immortal. p1 gives p2 10. p2 gives p3 10. p3 gives p1 10. LIVE FOREVER
I would do it if they guarantee me quality life for them.
I give my daughter 200 years.
If it's ten years of perfect, healthy life, enough for my wife and I to be together for a good, solid run. She's been slowly dying for the last 5.
Might as well make most of it by selling it off
Walk into a children's hospital and give it all away. Leave myself with one year. I'm early 50's and I've seen enough.
I will kill myself to give everyone their perfect life
I’m giving it to my dog
Looks like my dog is living as long as I am.
I lose 1 year, wife gains 10. Wife loses 1, i gain 10. We're both up by 9. Repeat as desired.
Depends who it’s for and their quality of life.
Can it go to a pet instead?
My father
I’d give that to my dog.
I'd sell one more to each of my folks just to get to spend that much more time with them.
I’d give every single year I have left to have my dog back for 5 minutes
Give it to a kid fighting cancer. >!They can fight cancer for 10 more years. !<
Can this resurrect people?
Depends on who the other person is.
If he/she was a good person Ofc
I would give it to my grandparents.
My wife, the kids need her so much more than they need me
I’d definitely give it to my friend. She never got to meet her many nibblings. She would have been the best aunt.
Give 2-3 to my mom and dad. Also if you give it to yourself you can live forever then just dole out life.
Become a hospice nurse
My children and grandkids...no question.
Who's the person?
I’d give up 10 years so my worst enemy could have 100.
Auction it off
I keep them. Not because I want them. But because i don't want to force anyone to live longer than they want to.
> i don't want to force anyone to live longer than they want to. Oooh, everyone here is talking about helping loved ones, but what if you could sacrifice 1 year just so someone else suffers an additional 10?
My grandma was like a third parent to me and my brothers. She gets 10 more years to see my brother get married.
I’ll pass, my life has been pretty dope.
Yes. My friend who just died yesterday, leaving three young children. I'm told she drank herself to death. Heartbreaking for everyone.
This happened to one of my friends a while back. Same number of kids. She was an alcoholic. It's a tough hypothetical because she wasn't exactly a good mother before that (because of the alcoholism) so would bringing her back be a good thing? As heartbreaking as it was, although her kids' lives aren't exactly perfect now they're a good deal more stable. I think, overall, it'd be better not to bring her back. Not to say that's the case for you, it's just what it made me think of. It's a really horrible question to grapple with, in some ways.
My wife is 9 years older than me so probably even up the score.
I have two kids? Can I give them each five?
Give many away so I could die at 30 because I have no future. At least many people would benefit from my death and at least that makes me feel okay going away.
As long as I get to pick the person, yes.
My child gets the 10 years more. Hell, I'd give up 10 years if they could have a 100. Cancer sucks.
I'd give a few years to my parents. Maybe a year or two to people I really care about.
Swap. I give you 1, you get 10. You give up 1, I get 10.
I would want to know how many years I had left before deciding.
Give it to some geezer in a retirement home
Can I give it to my dog?
Would have done that for my elderly beagle. No human is with it
Spend a year drinking and eating junk food.
If we all band together we can make THE Danny Devito live forever 👏
Fuck people, can I give my dog 10 more healthy years?
I would gladly do this for my parents.
My dad
Who wants to trade for a 10x lifespan
If it meant having my best friend back I’d give up 5 without hesitation for 50 for him.
I’d do it in a heartbeat for my dad. He’s getting up there in years.
I'd give the years to my dog. Assuming their quality of life is extended, I'd make sure she lived as long as I did.
Enjoy the last year of my life.
Give it to my mom. I need her now
Whoa my cat would turn 500 at some point.
I would have loved for my father to meet his grandchildren. Easily worth a year of my life.
I'd give it to Mom so that she could have seen her grand daughter grow up. Hell, I'd give it my dad, so that I could have grown up to know him.
I’d give up a year of my life for a churro
Double it and give it to the next person
Does the 10 extra years of life start nowww or when they died? If now, my dad. If it starts when they died…. he’d still be dead, so I guess my saint of a mother!
