You fucking suck. I'll back to you in a few days.
Gotta go with the nachos. Then I can sell some and make enough money for a one way ticket to the moon for my nachos and me.
I don't even give that much a fuck about nachos. A trip to the moon would be badass, though. Plus I could meet Sam Rockwell!

Well, at least I get free nachos as long as I'm alive.
You moon nerds clearly didn't realize that there is no stipulation preventing you from accidentally getting your corpse crushed into insulation panels that happen to be on a spacecraft going to the moon and back.
:omg: :asplode:
Man, this IS a difficult choice!
Nope, not tough. Going to the moon.
I can MAKE nachos.
I WANT NACHOS!
BUT ROGER CAN'T HAVE NO NACHOS!
I WILL KILL YOU ALL.
AND AS FOR YOU FUCKERS ON THE ROCKET, I SHAT IN YOUR O2 TANKS. BASTARDS.

And you nacho jerkoffs didn't realize there's no stipulation preventing feces from being their primary topping
SO SCREW YOU I'd rather some astronaut wonder why one of their walls looks particularly hairy than eat poop.
Fuck that. I have teenagers to feed. The moon ain't going anywhere. :argh!:

FACT: There are never enough nacho toppings to cover all the chips.
I'll just eat around it.

Have fun selling enough infinite nachos to get to the moon. I'm sure the lesser gravity will feel good on your 413 year old bones.

besides it's not infinity nachos. You can only consume a finite amount of nachos at a time and you only live for a finite time. Also nachos are cheap.
And I am going to steal the moon.
Can I forfeit the trip back for a small permanent outpost there?
Sigmatic,
fuck alla youse, I ain't coming back
I'll take the moon trip. I can go down to the store and buy nachos if I really want them, which I don't all the time. Conversely, only 12 people have walked on the moon, stood on another world and watched OUR world hang in the sky.
How is this a difficult choice again?
This thread makes me want nachos and moon bouncing.

This. I like nachos, but the moon is way fucking cooler.
You guys are going to be sorely disappointed when your "all expenses paid trip" is a Greyhound bus to Cram's apartment where his gyrating, pale ass will be the featured attraction.
And you could have had nachos for life....

I'm jam packed with nacho goodness this very minute and still say the moon can go fuck itself. If it were, I dunno..Mars or Saturn or even Venus I'd give it some thought. But I can see the moon *right now* and it's always BOOOOOOORRRRRING and my nachos are all gone. Time is money, money is nachos, therefore time is nachos. GIVE THEM TO ME.
When I go to the moon, I'm going to write FUUCK NAACHOS in giant letters so you nacho assholes can see it forever.

This sounds like "I can go find a picture on Google in two secords so who cares?"
Heres a task, for anyone who wants it:
-Buy (or build) a telescope; Orion 10" Dobsonian reflector is probably the best bang for the buck.
-Go out on a dark clear night and set up said scope, letting it cool.
-Find out where Jupiter, Mars or especially Saturn is.
-Point telescope at bright dot.
-Shudder in amazement and wonder as said planet floats into view.
Because you haven't really experienced Saturn's rings until you've done this, photographs do NOT do it justice, especially when you can see it yourself, under your own effort. The rings really are beauty in perfection, which I didn't understand till I had done the above. As Feynman said, "It's all really there", but you will only really GET that when you see it for yourself. It goes back to Joy in the Mearly Weird and Real. In the case of Saturn, our Weird of the planets and various other galactic phenomenon has been diluted by the enormous amounts of photos coming out of various NASA projects like HST and the Voyager program. I'm not knocking those, rather, I think they are incredible. At the same time, it's like discovering that dragons exist and being able to find photos of dragons in two seconds; the false sense of apparent accessibility lends to the viewer a feeling of apathy. The easiest way to rekindle this joy is by direct experience, especially if there's some effort involved.
As Yudowsky said, if people had to go through initiation ceremonies to receive great knowledge, it would seem all that much more worthy of knowing.
I don't like nachos much. Going to the moon would be cool.

I would choose the Nachos.
I would then use them to feed starving African children.

I really don;t see what's so great about nachos for life.
If not it being a fucking obvious choice in the first place, I'd ask you, you'll get sick of nachos after a while, definitely pick the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity.
Nachos please.
