Holy shit coming back to this now, I didn't realize that even the memes spawned from the question came from this! The spaceship meme that brought me here, already done by them! Man I wish Gavin would get credit for it
@@sinnyboy3950 who knows where it originated from but the snail question has been a thing way before Gavin ever brought it up considering I've heard about it since I was in primary school. Well before this episode ever aired
@@Stubbaroni they probably do. A lot of people on TikTok say it’s from reddit as well. Makes me feel old remembering this from rt podcast in its glory days
All these memes don’t know this is the origin. I was there at the beginning. When I heard people talking about the meme I was like “I remember gavin asking this!” Crap I feel old
Gus: This is the dumbest hypothetical question ever Also Gus: Okay but what if the snail snuck onto the ship and was heading to you right now and you wouldn't even know--
It would take the average snail (moving at 0.029 mph) 10.5 years to cross the continental United States (2680 miles across). So you really just wouldn't have to worry about it. I'd take it for sure.
Fun fact snail's speed is only about 1 meter per hour so even if you're in the same room as them you still probably have a couple hours before you have to move a few feet
to people saying "put a cup on it", yes you are somewhat right. Here's, another thing to think of. What about taking said cup, and putting it in a bowl filled with salt. The snail is immortal, but it's still a snail
The easiest way to solve this problem is to wear my latest idea: SALT SHOES! They spray a small puff of salt out of tiny nozzles in the soles with every step. (I originally came up with them to make winter easier, but it would oddly work in this situation too) Sure, it wouldn't kill the snail, but every time it got nearby, the snail would be moving over a line of salt... Escargot? More like Escar-NO...
Okay, snails move pretty darn slow, but here's my solution. Put the snail in a jar without touching it. And then seal the lid onto the jar with flex seal so it can't be opened again. The extra step then is to bury the jar or launch it into space.
Assuming the slowest speed of a snail (0.0028m/s) and half the diameter of the planet (6,371km), it would take the snail 72 years to reach you. Solid plan!
+Willy Tsung Is that when the snail goes perfectly straight? Because let me be hypothetical here. What if it needs to go up a mountain or over the ocean? Like, what if it decides to hitch a ride on a vehicle LOL
+Willy Tsung Also you would want to use the half of the Circumference of the planet as the snail would go around and not through the planet. also 1/2 of diameter is radius
A garden snail travels at 0.047 km/h, if I flew from Sydney to Los Angeles, it would take 256723 hours to travel (straight line) thats almost 30 years, such an easy deal to take
You could put the snail in a jar and never have to worry about it. But if you forget you can put snail jar all over the jar so you'll remember not to open it.
I think this is just a reminder of why humans are terrifying. We are persistence predators. We used to hunt by just tracking and following animals until they gave up or we got the jump on them.
Garden snails' top speed is 0.029 miles per hour. If you took the money in New York, and flew to Los Angeles, it would take the snail 10.98 YEARS to get to you, (assuming the snail doesn't know how to hitchhike)
So the average snail Moves at .029 miles and hour so while you're sleeping (say the snail is 5 miles away) it would move about .232 MPH so you'd be totally fine

Best line ever
littleandstupidgirl he said it as I read this
That sounds like something Sarge would say.
First unofficial million dollars but...
+CoolAsFinnBro very true
CoolAsFreya was 10 million dollars tho
Holy shit coming back to this now, I didn't realize that even the memes spawned from the question came from this! The spaceship meme that brought me here, already done by them! Man I wish Gavin would get credit for it
"Do not speak to me of the Deep Magic -- I was there when it was written!"
Why would Gavin get credit for it? This question has existed for a long time. Way before RT even existed
@@ranjibir3806 Where did it originate then? They literally all just made this up on the spot
@@sinnyboy3950 who knows where it originated from but the snail question has been a thing way before Gavin ever brought it up considering I've heard about it since I was in primary school. Well before this episode ever aired
@@ranjibir3806no it hasn’t 😂. stop lying and using the same copy/paste reply
I cant believe tiktok is freaking out about this conversation without knowing where it came from
For real they think it’s from reddit
@@Nopenotatall I think reddit thinks its from reddit
@@Stubbaroni they probably do. A lot of people on TikTok say it’s from reddit as well. Makes me feel old remembering this from rt podcast in its glory days
Remember when It Follows stole the idea too.
Who the hell cares
All these memes don’t know this is the origin. I was there at the beginning. When I heard people talking about the meme I was like “I remember gavin asking this!” Crap I feel old
"Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written."
This is not the origin. The question has existed for a long time now. I remember hearing it at school before RT even existed
@@ranjibir3806 no it hasn’t.

Trap the snail
They never said anything about that
Trap it in salt. Done.
+Valon Fine. Put a cup on it.
Nature finds a way.
crazyinsane500 nature, uh.. uh... finds a wayyy.
But what if the snail you trapped is a decoy snail and then the real one gets ya
The snail at the end was from Adventure Time.
Cherry Chocolate I figured
In a way, I guess that would make sense.
Yeahh
I know.
"Well yeah, sure, he's the original."
Just put the snail in a sealed Tupperware bin
yangxiaolong47 Decoys
yangxiaolong47 over the years it gets smarter it will find a way out
How did you put it in the box.
someone else can put it in for you
put it in a screw-top jar and torque the fuck outta the lid. No way a snail can open a lid, i don't care how smart it is.
1.hire a guy capture snail
2.keep snail
3.live my immortal life
4.wait till be immortal become a pain
5.toch snail
easy as that
toch snail
Fucking exactly
That’s what I thought
Wait till be immortal become pain.
toch snail
I thought I couldn’t spell
To make it work If anyone touches the snail they die
And 7 years later an app that has yet to exist would put Christmas music over this idea
It would take the average snail (moving at 0.029 mph) 10.5 years to cross the continental United States (2680 miles across). So you really just wouldn't have to worry about it. I'd take it for sure.
Yeah, but what if he got on a bus?
@@funkyano or a plane
You're immortal, remember you have to keep this up for all eternity.
The snail will eventually learn to use transport
And then that all became a game mode called Death Snail
The fact that this took 7 years to blow up
The origin of "Million Dollars but..."
+Thomas Willard IT'S THE PREQUEL EPISODE
I love that there's now a Gmod game mode for this scenario
What gamemode?
@@jayfeather7764 Look up GMod Death Snail for the AH vid
I like how they had an easter egg for the snail in lazer team 2
"This is the dumbest hypothetical question ever!"
A decade later it's the biggest meme in RT history.
This needs to be an IOS game. You play as the snail.
PandaBrady I want that game
You should do it
Do it!
Eliza Ripper thank you for sharing that knowledge
every hypothetical takes the cake w/ Gus.
They made a movie about this... it's called It Follows
+Dan Kester Yeah, I was just thinking that...that movie sucked by the way. The online reviews lied to me.
I saw the movie, it was one of the shittiest movies I have ever seen
Yeah, I saw that movie...and it was actually really good!
What if...hear me out...if they put a cup over it?
+SqueedilyPlays What, like Godzilla?
It'd still be moving around, leaving wet spots everywhere.
"That damn snail..."
""When you come back to work.....be careful!" @ 0:51 Gets me EVERY fucking time xD
i wonder if gavin knows what has become of his theory
love how this has come back on tiktok en
Frr
I think this is where the idea for "It Follows" came from.
I never imagined it'd be that big. Good movie
WTF? This is pretty much the premise for the film It Follows!!
The Snail Follows
coming to a theater near you
GiRTheDuck this was before it follows
Nuke Narwhal
Yea I know which makes it even more funny. The studio owes him some cash I think.
Like 10 million dollars?
This is more or less the premise behind "It Follows".
It is 2023 and this has been posted everywhere so now my coworkers are debating the snail and what counts as a touch, and all those things
This is a huge trend now on tik tok…..
Love how this has become a meme now
Such a great idea to do this! haven't stopped watching this all morning!!
So until now 7 years later, the snail assassin turns into a popular thing on tiktok?
This should definitely be their next show.
this is the first million dollars but
Mark Mahony this was 10 million dollars tho
Same concept however.
The way this is coming back again
This is great now that they made this in gmod
Lazer Team 2, anyone?
They could just trap the snail
Blizzic cant part of the deal
But what if the snail gets out?
Blizzic it gets smarter you can't trap it forever
THE ORIGIN OF THE INFAMOUS MEME
They made a movie about this, it's called It Follows and it's actually really good
Solution to the snail problem put a cup over it
Go to France.
I live in Singapore, soooooo
-accept deal in America.
-wait for snail to get close
-go back to Singapore
-invest money
-profit!(?)
This came right back round
You are really fast! I figured it would take you a while to upload this but damn you work fast! Props Hembo good job.
How this just now getting traction on Tik Tok lol
I just realized they referenced this in Lazer Team 2
Fun fact snail's speed is only about 1 meter per hour so even if you're in the same room as them you still probably have a couple hours before you have to move a few feet
The Asnailsin!
From what I’ve researched a snail can only move a meter an hour 😂 I think you’d be relatively safe for ever LOL
yeah they REALLY overestimated the movement of a snail 😂
"cant sleep, snail will get me" ~ RTPC + The Simpsons
I loved Lazer Team 2, the snail was in it.
This is my new favorite rtaa I can't stop hitting replay
There should be a full open world game based on this
Just negotiate with the snail.
“Listen, let me live 100 years and you can kill me. Just give me that and I’m yours”
*Google gets bombarded by snail questions*
the begining of "million dollar but.."
The original origin of A Million Dollars But
I feel like it wouldn't kill the guy watching, since it's you who dies when touched by the snail.
They don't know that they created the universal meme
smh tiktok people not knowing this is where snail tok is from
Ehy don't they just put a glass over it or something so it wouldn't be able to move?
Gavin: Would you take 10 million dollars...
Burnie: No. Yes. Sure.
Y'all remember when Rooster Teeth predicted the plot basis of the horror movie "It Follows"?
POV: You came here because of tiktok
POV, you dont know what POV means
The Snail Assassin, pretty much it follows but with an instant death touch buff
to people saying "put a cup on it", yes you are somewhat right. Here's, another thing to think of. What about taking said cup, and putting it in a bowl filled with salt. The snail is immortal, but it's still a snail
The start of greatness.
Get someone to put it in a cage. Badda bing, badda boom, it’s trapped.
I just did the math. The snail could only travel 45 miles a year... this is worth taking the money
Lazer team 2!
kingofbunga yeah
Hella people on tik tok are making videos about this
The snail is back...
Basically the plot of "it follows"
I like that they did the snail from adventure time
This is my favorite Million Dollars But...

chill gus, that's a great hypothetical.
They made a movie about it several years later, except the snail is a sex monster.
Okay, snails move pretty darn slow, but here's my solution. Put the snail in a jar without touching it. And then seal the lid onto the jar with flex seal so it can't be opened again. The extra step then is to bury the jar or launch it into space.

Is that when the snail goes perfectly straight? Because let me be hypothetical here. What if it needs to go up a mountain or over the ocean? Like, what if it decides to hitch a ride on a vehicle LOL
+Willy Tsung Also you would want to use the half of the Circumference of the planet as the snail would go around and not through the planet. also 1/2 of diameter is radius
If you went from Austin to London it would take 21 years for the snail to catch up.
A garden snail travels at 0.047 km/h, if I flew from Sydney to Los Angeles, it would take 256723 hours to travel (straight line) thats almost 30 years, such an easy deal to take

I think this is just a reminder of why humans are terrifying. We are persistence predators. We used to hunt by just tracking and following animals until they gave up or we got the jump on them.
Before you go to sleep, surround your bed in salt. It won't kill the snail, but it will slow it down
That snail on screen was from adventure time
Reminds me on that movie. It follows.
I bright this up to my friends at school and know they think I spend my time making up dumb snail theory like this all the time
This would make the best movie ever!
"Throw a snail?"
Garden snails' top speed is 0.029 miles per hour. If you took the money in New York, and flew to Los Angeles, it would take the snail 10.98 YEARS to get to you, (assuming the snail doesn't know how to hitchhike)
Love what you do
Great podcast
It's the snail from Adventure Time!!!
Keep your friends close but your snenemies closer.
So this is where the plot of it follows came from
So the average snail Moves at .029 miles and hour so while you're sleeping (say the snail is 5 miles away) it would move about .232 MPH so you'd be totally fine
if you traveled around half the world, it would take the snail at least 47 years to reach you
Unless it managed to get on a plane
Couldn't you just trap the snail
Put the snail under a cup, Put a cup over THAT cup, then put a book on it.
