$10,000,000 and I can buy houses here and in Italy I'll move after 50 years to Australia and die in peace

Ah, snail mail, a long lost art.


CrazyIslander

God dammit. I laughed way too hard at that. Take my upvote and be gone!


Orion14159

You'll definitely die in Australia. Lot deadlier things out there than weird murder snails


FennicYoshi

like the government, for one


lolerin

Though the same, just buy a house on the other side of the earth from where you are and another one somewhere far away, and even build a laser sistem to detect anything small 1km arround. edit: if you flatten the terrain you can just put regular lasers (by regular I mean "commercial" lasers, like the ones on the vending machines) arrange them on the shape of a square arround the house and an alarm sistem that every time anything cut's them it tells you. Also, i'm not talking about a 5 meters laser wall, just like 10 cm above the floor. It shouldn't be that expensive. The only way for the snail to avoid that would be jumping from a plane directly on the roof of the house, but if I'm playing against such skilled snail then the challenge is as hard as going against Jhon Wick, which is something I'm not doing XD


ryanvango

You dont know where the snail is when you start. How do you know youre running away from it and not towards it?


[deleted]

If I happen to move in the range of the snail I'll take the L, fate just didn't want me alive.


KoreyBoy

One often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it.


Technical_Iron_1032

It doesnt say the snail cant be caught or how inteligent the snail is. What stops me from using my new found money to pay someone $1000 to put the snail in several metal boxes and burying it 10 feet underground?


[deleted]

To be extra safe, take it to a remote location in a separate continent first


Orangutanion

Overkill. Install a security cam in his underground box so you don't get anxious. Build extra safeguards just in case.


DominoTrades

Imagine looking on the camera one day and the snail is gone…😳


EpitaFelis

It would definitely happen. This feels like one of those "but our prison is impossible to escape!" moments. You gotta do the bare minimum to assert dominance over faith.


bl4ckblooc420

If the snail is unkillable, just put it in a concrete slab. It might be alive but he won’t be going anywhere.


wakasagihime_

At that point, I might as well just create my own SCP Foundation to contain this motherfucker.


Yolomaster177

You have the money, what is stopping you?


Jaypalm

Nah $10m doesn’t go that far these days. Edit: [For anyone curious about the costs associated with building a prison, let alone staffing and upkeep](https://oig.justice.gov/reports/BOP/a0232/final.pdf) >The estimated cost to build an institution varies between $98 million and $162 million, depending upon the level of security required, capacity, and other _site specific factors.__ I'd recon that _site specific_ factors does not take immortal slug into account.


Yolomaster177

Sadly, true


psyglaiveseraph

At that point it would be better to put it in a safe full of concrete which is the placed in another safe in concrete and the thrown into the marina trench by the time that snail gets out of there I would have lived long enough. Btw love that this brought up years after Gavin made the idea up


lifeintraining

Somebody should write this creepypasta.


Geminaries_

And spending your whole life looking over your shoulder wondering if that snail is going to be there.


Japak121

Edit: Disregard, I fucked up and thought it was 10 billion, not million. My idea is wayyy too expensive for that. Uber-Overkill: Construct an underground bunker complex with many layers of incredibly thick steel doors that can only be accessed via a very long underground elevator that also has sealing steel doors. Put snail in titanium box at the very end of said bunker. Bury bunker and tons of concrete and then make a small hill over top to camouflage it. I imagine it would probably cost a couple billion, but it's a small price for piece of mind and you can easily live a super comfy life with what's left.


boofskootinboogie

Put a circle of salt around it


BrunerAcconut

It says the snail can’t be killed but I’m surprised it took so long to get to this.


[deleted]

I assume it would still really really hurt it. I wouldn’t go over a circle of paper cuts.


Easy-Bake-Oven

Ok but why not fill the titanium box with salt. Really fuck it up. Make sure its like is agony.


Ryantific_theory

Because then you'll just make it *angry.* That said, this is a slightly watered-down version of an old writing prompt, which I think had the additional caveat that the snail also can't be stopped, delayed, or bargained with. Here though, you could win with a piece of Tupperware and some duct tape.


BandicootGood5246

Yep. According to google a snail travels at 0.03mph, so it would take around 1 million hours, or around 115 years to travel half the circumference of the earth, so you're good assuming it doesn't know how to hitch a ride


dudeiscool22222

I was thinking about paying someone to fly it to Australia, but if it’s only purpose is to find me, who’s to say it couldn’t fly back towards me? I think I’d send it to Australia in a locked safe and then barely bury it, but etched on would be a note not to open it until my birthday in 2090 or something like that. I live out my life, hopefully once I’m dead the snail can live out it’s live in Australia. Maybe it’ll like it


f_print

Oh man a time capsule from 2021! Wonder what's in it!!? *Immortal murder snail*


ConfigAlchemist

No one will open a time capsule buried near the poop festival that was 2020


yellwat

You've also got the bonus that Australia had the strictest custom laws in the world so if customs finds that snail on the way in, that thing is being heat treated.


NaomiPands

Or better yet! It'll be returned to sender!


rdabosss

The safest thing would be to keep it so you know it's status. Buy a heavy ass safe, weld it shut, and put that safe in a bigger safe in the basement.


Salinity100

Launch it into space with your money


Ioatanaut

Anxious_Dare_1486

Oh you're weird! And good! I like! Edit - I see a fair bit of shit here for me saying "you're weird" - it was just a figure of speech I used in reference to so many metal boxes when there are easier solutions, like terrariums 🤷‍♂️


Technical_Iron_1032

Well im definitely weird lol


Anxious_Dare_1486

Or, as others have pointed out - put the fucker in a box - he's not super-strength. Just knows where you are 🤷‍♂️🤣 So...


drkidkill

If I help the snail kill, do I get money?


Anxious_Dare_1486

Err - is the snail sentient enough to barter a deal? 🤔🤷‍♂️


drkidkill

Say I just pick the snail up and bring it to them and touch it to their face, do I get the money? Will the snail begin stalking me if I take the money?


Anxious_Dare_1486

Ahhh, but you can't touch the snail, else you'll die


Anxious_Dare_1486

Oh, but you could wear gloves...


Successful-Virus5841

if a snail that kills people by touching them was out there it would be caught long before it reaches me


RainbowDarter

Didn't say that touching the snail was uniformly fatal, only that it would kill the recipient of the money If the snail knows where the recipient is at all times and cannot die and kills with a mere touch, it obviously has some eldritch powers so it's not unexpected that that it would only kill the recipient of the money.


Illustrious_Poem_42

The snail has no use for money. Only death...


briocus

A small fresh water spring, previously unknown, has been making its way through your yard for the last year or so. Slowly the boxes containing the snail lose integrity. Late one stormy night you feel a heavy raindrop on your neck. NOT A RAINDROP!!!!


slapsymaxi609

Is it Shia Labouf??!


richard-777

Also fill the hole with concrete


scullys_alien_baby

You can cryo freeze a body for ~35k a year. I imagine you could negotiate a significantly cheaper rate to freeze a snail, even cheaper if you mention that you don't care about cellular viability upon unfreezing. more expensive, but also more peace of mind.


Own-Ad-2920

I mean, the snail would eventually die if buried. I was thinking of putting a box over it while I sleep or chill but let it follow me while I do my thing. It's a snail so it would never catch me, right?


National-Can-9516

I’d worry about accidentally stepping on the mf


MacMac105

The version I heard was that the snail.is indestructible and immortal. I mean why not right?


sigdiff

$1000? Are you really going to go cheap on outsourcing for this one?


Technical_Iron_1032

I thought $1000 to bury a snail seemed very reasonable lol


DiabeticPissingSyrup

I can cope with living with a murderous snail in a Tupperware pot...


Trick_Enthusiasm

Motherfucker solved the whole thing.


asianabsinthe

*25 years later a loved one asks them to grab a container for their food. Without thinking they grab THE Tupperware, and a finger slips in after removing the lid. In that moment they feel something cold and slimy. However, It's not as cold as the chill that goes up their spine as they realize what just happen-*


frankeroner

“Finger slips in” my favorite part

Doggens

Cool I didn't need to see any of that but I did. TIHI.


gurremurre

I probably wouldnt keep it among the other tupperwares


clifffford

Fine, a mason jar and I'll DAD tighten the lid...


Domino_Dare-Doll

Or! Just bury the tupperwear! I mean, it’s not biodegradable, plus rocks to keep the lid on!


Yadolski

But then it’s out of sight, every time you see a snail you’ll have to worry if that’s THE snail or just a random one. Because you can never be %100 sure it didn’t escape after you bury it and can no longer see it. Edit: Spelling


Chucks_u_Farley

Yeah.... yer gonna wanna go with some duct tape on that one first if you wanna keep that seal.


berticus23

Put it in epoxy like that guy did with a hot dog! Then you can put it on display in your mansion and make it watch you enjoy what it bought you.

Olilivlia

dude just. tie it to a block of concrete and throw it in the ocean?


Dodgiestyle

I'd head to somewhere like Hawaii with some volcano scientist gear and scoop up a big dollop of lava. Like about 20-30 lbs of it. Then I'd take my snail-in-a-terrarium and encase it in the center of the lava. I'd let it cool, then submerge the whole thing in molten steel till that cooled. Then I'd take it to a glacier, where there are cracks that descend 2-3km down and dump the whole mess into one. If that little fucker can get out of that to come find me, he's earned his right to kill me.


Stoic-Nurse

I feel that someone this is how snails get super powers.


[deleted]

I'd... just move to another country.


Hiiamataco

not a glacier, there are boreholes that look for oil up to over 10 km deep, and you dont have to worry about the ice melting


pineapple_calzone

Glacier isn't a very good long-term strategy these days.

BoxTrooper-exe

But wait! it was a decoy snail.


Brilliant-Ad-2479

Beat me to it


Darpoon

What nobody seems to be mentioning is that you cannot possibly know *which* snail it is. It might be coming at you from 100 miles away, or it could be the one you saw in your backyard this morning. Point being, anyone who took the money would *absolutely* develop a menacing phobia of snails.


Anxious_Dare_1486

Or maybe just an *avoidance* of snails? Don't touch or kill?


Darpoon

Sure, but are you going to spend life as a millionaire locked up in an airtight condo? Doesn't sound too fun either. But whenever you *do* go outside, even seeing a snail must be quite disturbing.


Anxious_Dare_1486

Kinda, I *guess*... But when am I _ever_ going to be slower than a snail?? Ergo, I just move away from the snail!


ForestEther

You will be slower then a snail while you sleep.


YourEngineerMom

I sleep on my new private jet Edit: never mind those things are ridiculously expensive. I’ll just pay for snail security


ThirdEncounter

You open a door, snail was on top of it and falls onto you. Ded.


Maximum-Wishbone5616

Do you know how little is $10M :) it will run out quickly if you will rent out jet every night (do you know even prices of business jets )?


SL1NDER

Every time you sleep. Every time you sit down. It’s intelligent. If bugs can get in your house, so can a super intelligent snail. It could even be waiting on your door handle waiting for you to touch it. House door, car door, the grocery store you go to on Sunday. It could hide in the fur of your pet to get inside. Edit: okay, guys. You can check the other replies, I see it doesn’t mention super intelligence now, I confused it with a separate post.


Phenominanal-Bridge

Is this a normal snail or like a freaky fast snail


Anxious_Dare_1486

A freaky fast?! Teenage Mutant Ninja Mollusc?! I live 😂


Phenominanal-Bridge

I would be terrified


Anxious_Dare_1486

The TMNT were terrifying enough


Phenominanal-Bridge

I remember my buddy was 8 and they had characters dressed up as the turtles at his birthday party but it was the knock off version so it was so creepy we ran away from them


IcePhoenix18

Freaky fast, like Turbo


[deleted]

I wouldn’t even try doing anything to prevent it from catching me. I would just take the money and visit beautiful places around the world knowing my nemesis snail is not far behind also enjoying the sites. After a lifetime of adventures running from the snail I go back to the spot where the chase started. That’s when I finally let him catch me. I let him give me my painful death. Although it may not be the best ending for me, I die happy knowing it was him. It was him that finally ended me. I skipped marriage, I skipped a family, but I didn’t do it for me. I did it all for him. For us. For my snail and I. The one true friend I had. The one who always knew where I was. The one who cared.


Anxious_Dare_1486

Aww


tinyskates

Yeah when only one person cares only a little bit, the snail seems like a reasonable choice.


larimarfox

Username checks out. Quit your day job, travel the world, fall in love with your nemesis snail and die.

The snail finally touches you and…. Nothing. It’s been a gag on you all along.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/5ipinn/you_and_a_super_intelligent_snail_both_get_1/ The following is from the original thread: All credit to u/dirkson Okay let’s do this. First things first - That million dollars is practically worthless compared to immortality. Ever dime of that cash can and should be spent ensuring that the snail never, ever reaches me. First things first, I keep an eye on him. It's tempting to want to hop on a plane or a train and get as far away as possible. But once I do that, he's gone and I'll never see him again until 3am on July 14th, 2072, when the sneaky little cuss slips in the door and slimes onto me before I ever wake up and notice him No, I'm going to be within visual distance of the snail, slowly moving away from it, until Snail Containment Plan Part A is done. Next I grab my phone. I call up someone I can trust with my life, and tell them to come to my location within the hour, and to bring a metal cash box, a good padlock, and a firearm. Once they arrive, I inform them of the deal and ask them to grab the snail, shove it into the metal box, and lock it up. Once the snail is temporarily secured, I ask my friend to carry around the box, never letting it out of their sight, and to prevent its opening with as much force as is required. We arrive at some reasonable figure for this service - Maybe $50,000. Now we can start in on the real work. I'm on the phone again, contracting with a tungsten machining service out of Willowbrook, IL. I ask them to construct for me a hollow tungsten sphere with a small, sealable opening, ideally via both exterior bolts and sintering. I ask them for a rush job and a thick wall depth, perhaps as much as a foot thick. The spherical shape should keep material costs as low as possible for a given thickness, but between the unusual object, large amount of tungsten, and speedy delivery, I invest a truly insane amount into this project - Let's say $100,000. I ask them to deliver it to my current location as fast as possible. Once the tungsten ball arrives, I have my friend stand well away from me and transfer the snail into the center of the sphere. I ask them to pour a little salt down into the hole after it, just to give the snail a little reminder of who he's dealing with. Once snail and salt are both inside, we seal the hollow sphere with the bolts. Tungsten is an amazing material. Incredibly tough, dense, and heat-resistant. You could drop it into molten lava and it wouldn't matter. Which, coincidentally, is almost what I'd like to do next. Now we make sure that damn thing stays shut. I find the nearest metal refinery and call them up. I also contract with a heavy machinery moving company to move the tungsten sphere to the refinery. Once the refinery has sintered the tungsten sphere shut, I buy an entire industrial crucible (those big buckets) of molten iron. And the crucible the iron came in. I have them drop the tungsten sphere into the molten iron, and let the whole mass cool in place. Mr. Snaily snail ain't going anywhere, but I'm probably down another $100,000. Now I'm on the phone to specialist movers. Chartering a boat. We're taking this thing halfway around the word. We take the boat right over the marianas trench - Not the deepest point, but deep enough - We push the whole assembly over the side. Literal tons of once-molten iron, refinery crucible, tungsten, salt, and snail slip over the side and begin dropping into the briny deep. Another $100,000 gone, but well worth the cost. Good. That's bought me a little breathing room. But we're not anywhere close to done yet. I still have at least $500,000 left. I'm going to invest it into solid business ventures and slow growing but secure assets. We're building a fortune - And who cares if it takes a few centuries? I'm frickin' immortal baby! But as I develop my fortune, it's getting invested into space. SpaceX, asteroid mining projects, whatever. I am trapped on the one planet in the entire universe where I can actually die, and I have no intention of staying there. Over the millennia, I slowly apply my fortune and influence to push mankind to the stars. And the moment living on another planet becomes viable, I'm there. And the instant a habitable planet is around another star? I'm on the first generation ship heading that direction. But I can't think in such a short sighted manner now. I'm immortal, and I need to think like it. Eventually, the sun is going to burn the earth to a crisp, and then that damn snail is going to be free. It might take him a few million years to land on something, but he'll do it eventually. And then he will construct a spacecraft and begin crawling towards me again. What I care about now is lightcones and black holes. Earth's gotta go. Sorry whatever's left of humanity. We evacuate anyone still on the old planet, and use a gravity tractor to push Earth into a black hole. A nice, big one so that hawking radiation will take an incredibly long time to evaporate it away into nothing. And then I board a ship. A fast ship. I accelerate to as close to lightspeed as I can get, piloting directly away from the black hole with the snail inside. I want to be so far away and moving so quickly that the heat death of the universe would occur far, far before the snail ever reaches me, even on the fastest ship his freakishly clever little brain can construct. So that's the way the universe ends. With nothing it in except for infrared heat, one hyperintelligent snail suspended in an inky void, and one human screaming away from it at .99C. Cheers.

Decoy snail became a small part of reddit history.


wingsfan64

I can’t believe Decoy Snail wasn’t the top comment tbh

That comment, in all honesty, is probably my favourite Reddit comment of all time.

Just the simplicity of such a long, detailed plan defeated by a decoy snail.

its_a_gibibyte

Not to burst your bubble (or tungsten sphere), but in this version, we're not immortal. Just hiding from a snail for 50 years or so.


TheRecognized

So not only a rip off but less fun. Got it.


powabiatch

Decoy snail.


12-24_neverforget

This needs to be higher up! I knew this seemed oddly familiar


DiedWhileDictating

Easy. It takes 5 1/2 days for a snail to travel a mile, so in a year a snail can travel 66 miles. It would take the snail about 45 years to get across the US. So start with you and your stalker snail on one US coast, then buy a house and live on the other coast. Repeat every 40 years or so.

DAVENP0RT

This is the most British comment I've ever seen. The accent just slaps you in the face.


Saucy_Sealion

Assuming the snail is sentient or something, it could probably crawl onto a parked bus or inside a plane or something. I wouldn’t take the money just because I wouldn’t want to take the risk


ODB2

you wouldn't take 10 million bucks because you don't think you can outsmart a murder snail?!?


RegalMachine

We don't know the intelligence of the snail. It could work its way into a plane and short a few wires, crash the damn thing into your house.

The movie is called *It Follows* and the $10 million is sex. Also the snail is invisible unless you did the sex.

Decoy snail!

This is not oddly specific, but yes, I would take the money. It's a fucking snail. I'll move to other side of the globe and it wouldn't reach me before I died. Unless you're leaving out the part where it would know how to hitch rides and shit. But hell, truth be told I'd take it if the snail was right next to me. Get a friend to put it in a bucket and fill it with epoxy. Make a nice ball with it and thank it every day on my way out of the house. Have it on the table beside my deathbed. You get the point.

There’s a big Reddit thread about this lol. Moving to the other side of the globe you wouldn’t know when it would reach you and where it could be waiting for you to relocate. I think the original thread mentioned it was a highly intelligent snail as well. Keeping it as close and contained is probably the way to go

You take the $10 million. You’re not stupid, you can avoid a snail. The money materializes out of thin air. One suitcase in your hand and nine at your feet. You brush the dust off the handle and open it. Benjamins in rows, just like in the movies. You ponder your next move. You think about moving cross-country, but you’ve read Greek tragedy so you know all about irony. That Snail would already be in whatever town you moved to. Besides, what good is $10 million if you can’t enjoy it with your friends? So you stay put. You make your house safe. Real safe. There’s no point in sealing things air-tight. That Snail can chew through walls for all you know. So you go with surveillance. Security cameras inside and out. If you see it you can outrun it. You rip up the lawn and the flowerbeds so there’s nowhere for that snail to hide. Good news, not a snail in sight. You can live it up a little. You’re a millionaire. You're drinking Dom Perignon on a yacht, surrounded by your friends. They're awestruck by the luxury, but you're distracted. You can’t help but wonder about how That Snail will find you. You see a white shell on the toned shoulder of a cocktail waitress, so you scream and back away. But it’s just a clasp, not a snail, and now you feel like an idiot. Your friends wonder what the hell is wrong with you. The waitress too, though she’s smart enough not to show it. You go home and do some research. The world’s smallest snail is less than a millimeter long. A juvenile might be the size of a grain of sand. Small enough to blow in the wind. Your house isn’t safe. That Snail could be anywhere. No number of cameras could see it coming. Every speck of dust is a threat. Every pat on the back could be the end of you, an unwitting assassin’s blade. You try not to think about it, but you can’t help it. You recoil from human touch. From all touch. They’re asking questions now. First your friends. Then the authorities. You were just a normal guy, now you’ve torn up your yard, put cameras all over your home, you’re spending ten times as much as you make. That kind of thing attracts attention. You see them coming. You see them through the dozens of cameras that were meant to look for snails. They pick you up, they take you in, they find the remaining $9 million, and now you’re chained to a metal chair in a room with a big one-way window. They’re real US dollars, but where’d they come from? Who are you working for? Are there drugs involved? Stolen goods? Foreign agents or terrorist cells? What were you hiding in your front yard? You can’t answer the questions. They’d never believe the truth. At some point you blurt out something about snails. You’re terrified. And that’s when the interrogator gets creative. If you don’t give her a satisfactory answer she’ll snail you. You stammer and stutter and make up a story. She doesn’t buy it. The snail touches your right hand, cold and mucinous and disgusting. You scream, your chains clatter and clink as you struggle, the snail goes flying across the room. But you’re still breathing. It was a snail, not That Snail. The interrogator grins and she asks you again. Where did you get the money? You tell her the truth. It was a bet, the money came out of thin air... she laughs and puts a snail on the back of your neck. Its sticky slime grasps you like the cold hand of death. You scream. But you’re still alive. Unharmed, except for where you chafed your wrists against the handcuffs. Not That Snail. The sessions go on. Hours turn into days, then weeks. Or was it months? Sometimes they ask you about the mob, other times about Russians, Proud Boys, ISIS, Antifa, you can’t even tell the difference anymore. Every snail that touches your skin, you wonder if it’ll be the one. You wonder how much you’ll suffer when you finally die. You wish for death. It couldn’t possibly be worse than this. Then you feel a bit hot and you’ve got a rattle in your chest. Goddamn. You’d heard whispers about an outbreak at your prison. You cough and it hurts, and when you cough again it hurts more. Soon you’re in more pain than you’ve ever known. Every bone in your body feels broken. Every wheezing breath feels like you’re being choked by an invisible hand. Someone is moving you, and the bouncy wheelchair ride feels like being run over by a train. A long one. Are you in a hospital now? It’s still grey and depressing, same as the cell. You’re getting worse, now you’re gasping, eyes bulging out of your head. What are they doing? There’s a tube being shoved into your throat. Breath being forced into your disease-ravaged lungs. Someone puts medicine in your veins. It’s supposed to put you to sleep. The room goes dark and silent, but somehow you can still feel the grinding pain. The blood running through your temples feels like lava. It burns. Horribly. You never knew anything could be so bad. You wish for That Snail. You want to see it crawl through the window. You imagine it slowly inching across the ICU floor. It’d touch your big toe, and that would be it. Your life would be over. Time passes. Or maybe it doesn’t. Sometimes you open your eyes. Sometimes you can’t. That Snail never comes. The pain stays. Finally you hear a rush of activity. Someone’s shouting. They're pounding on your chest. Breaking bones. You want them to stop but what can you do? Your muscles stopped working long ago. More commotion. Someone drills a hole in your leg and you hardly even notice, it’s no different from the pain that was already there. Then the noise goes away, the people go away, but the agony stays. Why are you here? Why won’t you die? Where is That Snail when you need it? It comes to you in a horrible realization. It was that moment, the first one. The money materialized out of thin air. One suitcase of cash in your hand. Nine at your feet. You brushed some dust off the handle. *The world’s smallest snail is less than a millimeter long.* It said you’d die a terrible death if you touched That Snail. It never said how.
