I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

if you want to test your luck, this site lets you choose a random human bone :) https://randomlistgenerator.com/human-bones

@wormy-business question: is the bone replaced by anything? And if the bone is like, essential to survival like say, the skull, do you die? Or is there a non lethal way to do it? Because despite what you said about the fey not choosing, like The Whole Deal with making deals with the fey is "This Will Go Badly For Your Hubris" so if there's any chance i could die I'm not gonna give it any bones because If it can go badly for me, it Will, or else its not a fey deal.

Nah if you say like 20 bones and by chance it's 20 of the 22 bones in your skull, you just die. There's no further magic aside from the immediate removal of the bone.

Another question!! Given that humans are roughly symmetrical and that the bones reflect this;

Does this arrangement count each bone as its own entity? As in, if I lost a tibia, would I lose one of them, or *both*?

The wording in the contract makes me think that it is 1 bone = 1M dollars, and thus it only takes one bone from the "twin" set, but I wanna make sure.

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.  Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle. He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said.

[...]

Dean had given a deposition in a Spirit shareholder lawsuit and also filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit. Spirit fired Dean in April 2023, and he had filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging his termination was in retaliation for raising concerns related to aviation safety.
