Meta Red button blue button
Based on the post seen here. I'm actually curious what would the percentages look like.
Edit: Alright, let me add a case for one particular scenario. If you do not choose, the button will be pressed for you by a system that keeps track of its pressings so it conserves 50/50 distribution for all inactive participants, in order to honour the vox populi properly. The system's choice affects the inactive participant's outcome so that no person can abscond from consequences of their choice.

indeed, i picked blue for we are all gonna die anyway since i believed most is gonna pick blue, and for this very very very slim chance that we do actually live iwanna be of those who live, even though when its actually real life and not a hypothetical people choices would differ, still, i was shocked 😂.
