    Don’t get eaten once, probably pretty easy. But don’t get eaten just shy of 2000 days in a row? Well… I’ll just say that’s probably not trivial.

      Considering i could also get hit by a bus, cancer, random violence, or accident, I still would take the chance.

        As would I. With all that money I feel like there’s some pretty easy damage mitigation steps you could take as well to ensure your safety.

      you’d need to be spotted, identified as food, attacked and completely killed in 30 seconds… the odds of that are minuscule

        Teleporting back doesn’t restore a missing leg and save me when I arrive back home dry, but bleeding out. So you only need to be mortally wounded.

        And with 1825 different random teleportations, there’s certainly a non-zero chance of being dropped into the middle of an active shark hunt/feeding frenzy, or directly in front of a 200,000 ton shipping container vessel with 4 enormous 30 foot propellers waiting to liquify your body.

        If your odds per teleportation are a 0.01% chance, across 1825 incidents over 5 years that’s an 18% chance of death.

      the ocean is fucking huge. odds of that not happening are way better than odds of me dying biking over to the grocery store (thanks, all you drivers who completely ignore the cyclist and pedestrian crossing, your stop line at a red light, the giant NO RIGHT TURN ON RED sign, and the people obviously crossing it)

      Actually it’ll only be about 15 hours. 365 days x 5 years, then add 1 for the leap year, then x 30 to figure out how many seconds, ÷ 60 for minutes and again for hours.
