You and a super intelligent snail both get 1 million dollars, and you both become immortal, however you die if the snail touches you. It always knows where you are and slowly crawls toward you. What's your plan?
I believe the question goes:
Would you become immortal and receive a million dollars, if the only thing that could kill you was being touched by an also immortal snail, which constantly moves toward you at a snails pace and cannot be contained or blocked by any means?
Either that, or there existed multiple versions of the question, which isn't unlikely.
Here you go, via Wayback Machine.
It's the top comment, which has since been edited.
Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Don't ise wayback machine much so the option never occured to me.
Btw, how would a snail, even a super intelligent one, get out of a christmas bauble?
The material will eventually break down. You're both immortal.
Encase the fucker in granite then put the granite prison into orbit.
Oh. Invulnerable too?
I'd assume so.
Someone found the answer OP was looking for:

Eeh, Kbin wants a login.
Didn't that story originate from rooster teeth
No idea tbh
Put a glass over the snail. Put a car on top of it. Glass breaks, snail dies by accident.
I think one of the stipulations was that it couldn’t be killed
But it could be detained. So, put glass over snail. Shuffle glass to edge of table with a card to keep the snail in the glass. Turn glass over and seal with several layers of plastic wrap. Place sealed glass in a small safe. Put the small safe in a bigger safe. Pay a deep sea fishing vessel to bring you and the safe to the location of the Mariana Trench. Drop safe from boat into the trench. Have fishermen drop you off in Costa Rica, retire as a hermit living on the beach.
As the safe descends into the trench, it implodes.
The snail is now free and seeks its revenge. The snail will taste blood.
Just don't hire oceangate to make your safe
Impossible...the safe is made from reinforced steel, not carbon fiber...
It’s interesting how blithely people consign an immortal super-intelligent being to ostensibly millennia of consciousness, while entombed.
I’m no hippie, but I would probably prefer to be touched by the snail than know I had tortured another intelligent being for many lifetimes.
The snail’s not that intelligent. It voted for Trump twice, has a thin blue line punisher sticker on its shell, and thinks immigrants and The Gays (tm) are responsible for its social ills.
