That’s the premise of the Twilight Zone episode “Button, Button”. After she pressed it, the man making the deal said he’d go to “a random person on Earth” offering the same to them (implying that the person being killed will be the one who pushed the button earlier in the chain)

politics @lemmy.world•"Counterterrorism" now officially means targeting trans people. The White House will prioritize the “neutralization” of groups it considers “anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”
10·10 days agoBerlin of the 20s was probably the most liberal place for queer people in the west. Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft and wrote the first paper on trans identities, gave people counseling, hormones and recommended surgeons.
He was able to decriminalise homosexuality and have trans people allowed to present “sex non-conforming” in public if they had a slip from him.
The Nazis used this for culture wars and promise a return to the golden time of tradition and morality.
His institute was raided in the first book burning, thousand of scientific papers are lost forever, his patients hunted down. He managed to flee to France.
It’s important to treat his persona critically though, because as a scientist of his time, he also adopted some problematic stances on eugenics and racial teachings. On the other hand, he was also one of the few that criticised the rigor of the science behind those teachings from time to time.

That’s not revealed, but I would think it just targets the last person who pushed the button. If you don’t, you succeed the test and get skipped. .
