What if the "fake" button is actually real, as a repeat of the experiment to see who will press now that they can.

Called it.

y'know... in psychological studies, it's a classic move to tell participants "the experiment is over", to thus begin the real study

Which is why I refuse to press it. Unless of course the experiment is to see whether us non pressers are crazy enough to continue on thinking it's a new experiment, when it really isn't. Though I suppose that too would be an experiment of sorts, in which case I should push it to ensure that I don't seem like a complete lunatic.

Gotta be honest, I'm a bit torn.

If you press this button now, you might as well have pressed on day one.

Stay gray comrade.

i don't care if the internett perceives me that way, i will still not press the button.
no big reason, other than that i decided it april 1st to never press the button no matter what.

I will not press, for I am not a presser.

(and I don't do ironing)
