tired: eat the marshmallow
wired: wait, and get two marshmallows
inspired: donate your worldly belongings to the marshmallow research institute so that in the distant future all the matter in the galaxy will be turned into 10^53 marshmallows

@aparrish in the desert for forty days and forty nights, the researchers tempted jesus with a marshmallow, but he remained steadfast, and now is seated at the right hand of the father, and he will come again in glory to give out two marshmallows to each of the faithful (supplies permitting)

@mewo2 effectively altruistic: build a long ladder of marshmallow tests so that you can constantly win the marshmallow game, while eating the winnings from yesterdays marshmallow, all the while moving the universe forward to the 10^53 marshmallow target, which you will donate to the public

@mewo2 you never get a second marshmallow. The experiment is designed to wait forever and never reward you. The second marshmallow is a lie. The entire experiment is a test to see how long you'll wait to find out adults are lying. Then, they use it to accuse you of having some kind of character fault. Why? Because they're liars.

The galaxy full of marshmallows will protect us from the superhuman AGI robots. If they attack us they’ll run into a wall of marshmallows and get stuck. Then we can toast the robots along with marshmallows.

I've never quite been able to figure out how those of us who don't actually *like* marshmallows figure into this dynamic....
