You receive 10 billion dollars which could take care of the needs of your family and close friends for a couple of generations. Your wife, kids, siblings, folks, best friends will be set for life.
Only catch is that you can only eat dates and drink coffee for the rest of your life.
No drinks other than coffee and water.
There are dozens of types of dates and you can choose to consume any of them but end of the day it’s dates and they all taste somewhat similar.
Would you do it?

Am I assuming that eating only dates will not have a negative effect on my health?
Nah, after a month your body would be deficient of almost all vitamins and omega fats and you’d die
Hell NO.
No. That sounds miserable.
No. That’s basically saying you can eat nothing but sugar for the rest of your life. It would kill you.
can i consume vitamin supplements?
or this is ‘die slow death for the purpose of your family/friends’
I will be charged with cannibalism. All those poor women. Not cool.Â
OK, but what are the dates allowed to do to me?
But what if you get a bad date…
If these are magical dates that have all the nutrients I need sure eating is a chore to me. Otherwise no I don’t want to destroy myself.
Yea… nah unless there is a magical macros and micros adjustment. Rice beans and fish mayyyybbbeee but just dates…
What if I start dating chickens? Does that count?
Deal
Am I immune to disease or something? Pretty sure a diet of just dates will kill you in a year’s time unless you can magically get all of your sustenance from them.
I always eat my dates, if we get to that point. It’s only polite.
I love dates and coffee! Man, I’d never leave the toilet.
Assuming it wouldn’t kill me yeah I’d probably do it. Maybe I can supplement with protein powder and vitamins? Can I add cream and sweetener to my coffee?
Won’t get enough nutrition and no point in having money if I can’t enjoy food
Am fine with that am really into pussy
I would take this since I don’t drink dates at all. Also since op specifically called out no other drinks than coffee and water I can eat any other food I want as long as it does not have a liquid form of dates. Would be tough to give up sodas though. (Not sure why op would call out no other drinks than coffee or water and not do the same for food)
No thank you
I mean. You’d die. Your life wouldn’t last long. So.. nah, I’ll pass.
I mean what the point of billions of dollars if you can’t even buy nice food with it?
There are a lot of nutrients missing in a date-only diet.
These would have to be magical dates that contain all the nutrients I need to live or I’d be dead in fairly short order, and not really able to enjoy all that money. I like dates just fine but not enough to die of malnutrition.
Ask grandpa if he takes the deal.
How long do I have to eat them out for
Maybe I could spend 1 billion dollars making dates provide complete nutrition 🤔
I’ve dated some pigs in my time. Bacon is on the menu!
You won’t live a long, healthy, life, but could afford the medical care and still have money to leave your loved ones.
Strictly dates? Or can I get creative and use dates as an ingredient for everything I eat? Like, I can make a date and chile compote for a chop. Date infused Cajun butter as a topping for a steak. Date bread.
Money is for buying food. I’d rather die.
So I will die of malnutrition…no thanks
I don’t think dates have enough vitamin C and other essential vitamins so 10B to die of scurvy is a hard pass for me
All these comments and OP still hasn’t answered whether or not this would affect your health
No
Guess I’m buying a gold toilet. I’m gonna need it.
What’s the point of being rich if you can’t enjoy food. I might resign myself to it but I’d see it as sacrificing myself for my family.
So i will have the worst stomach ache, diarrhea and stuff every day my whole life because of the sorbitol? Oh hell no

I think if I had ten billion I could find a doctor to put in a central line. Yeah I’d do it.
Yes, But I drink my coffee filled with steak.
If I can ferment the dates I’d do it.
I already do that.
I love how 10 billion dollars “could take care of the needs of my family and close friends for a couple of generations” while in reality it will “definitely” take care of my extended family and friends for centuries
Only if I was suicidal. I will not do that to my digestive tract. And on top of fiber and sugar filled dates, you are adding a diuretic like coffee as our only choice of beverage?
I will take this deal the day I decide to die. Get my legal will updated so my loved ones live well for the rest of their lives, then off myself before I have to eat a single date.
Any specific part of my dates??
I dont like dates, so nah
Wouldn’t you just die?
Nope. You know how much joy in my life comes from food!?
I would take it but probably die of starvation and vitamin deficiency in a month. In the meantime I could pay off everyone in my family’s mortgage, college debt, credit cards, medical debt etc and set up something so my kids get so much per month.
Do I have to physically overwhelm my dates and murder them with my own two hands?
Honestly, I think that’s how most billionaires came to be. Which is why they try to fuck the government up all the time
There would have to be a loophole in the coffee or else this is a weird death sentence.
Can you add protein powder and vitamins to the coffee?
If so I’m in.
Nah. A lot of life’s enjoyment is eating like a fat fuck.
I’m down
Very short rest of my life because of the nutritional deficiency from an unbalanced diet.
If I can supplement my diet with supplements and pills like protein powder and vitamin tablets, I don’t mind. Otherwise I’m not killing myself to set my bitch ass wife up for life. Or my family for that matter. None of these people deserves that degree of self sacrifice from me.
Can I make a date butter and jelly sandwich?
Nah. Food is the source of half of my joy in life tbh. If I completely lost my sense of smell my answer would probably be different
Sure. Let’s do it
I hate dates so much that I absolutely could never do this lmao
For 10 billion with a B… hell yeah
Are we immune to the consequences of this, such as lack of nutrients and shitting ourselves senseless?
It’s fine for me to only drink water, but eating only dates will literally kill me by carence.
No, even if i didnt get malnourished id just be unhappy
