Well… geneticists are trying to bring the mammoth back to life, but it ain’t exactly a dinosaur, but it’s still prehistoric, right? 
I keep wondering what the implications would be in reintroducing a long-dead creature to the planet? good thing it ain’t no rabbit, squirrel or winged creature that could/would totally disrupt the ecosystem like the aforementioned creatures have done.
^^ I cant imagine anything good would come out of it ~ unless we thermoformed mars and stuck them there or something.
I’d want one that could fly and that I could put a saddle on its back. Quetzalcoatlus would probably do the trick.

Reset to what? Prior to capitalism, feudalism, the roman empire? I tend to agree with the general sentiment.
I’d take it if you could in return. 
Press first. Questions later. Oh wait…
Best not to even bother start to go down that path, foresight being what it is n’all 
…and the button… remains… unpressed.
I want the button to give me another button.
What does that achieve? don’t we still have the same choice. I suppose it’s the most harmless choice ~ oh wait, you have already given into the button, surely this means you are more likely to press it again?
Definetly… I would construct an array of buttons, forming codes, where pressing one button unleashes a chain of pressings, involving the creation, destruction and re-creation of existance many times over. I would become a button-programer.
[size=85]Cant believe I just corrected your spellings lol[/size]
Cool reply! Only works with the first button at least being controllable. This sounds like what god probably is [metaphorically speaking] but I wont go to far into that.
I suppose an array of buttons would generally cancel one another out. No need for programming.
Perhaps given the infinite potential of a random button, it is as likely to create another button or something good as it is destroy the world. So if you take one chance, the next time of hitting the button increases your chances of getting what you want doubly [I think that’s how probability works?]. So you could if you took the chance, eventually arrive at whatever you wanted.
Would you take that chance?
Good thinking there!
My favorite era of history would be the epoch of pre-history.
Set the reset button to that.
I’m having a hard time with the restrictions… why can’t i write code with the buttons?
Because the code would be irrelevant if there is no way to know what they will do. Code only matters when it determines an effect, if we are going to make the button/s do what we want they are probably pointless.
If the latter then we are looking at a wish scenario.
I suppose we are asking if the genii have free will or if they have to obey ones commands?
We could do an Aladdin’s lamp thread if you like? I expect any wish would have unforeseen effects, but that may be where your programmable buttons can be utilised.
Yeah, I guess I was thinking of the button as a Djinn.
Anyway, if I knew it would destroy the world, I’m sticking to “dedicate my life to studying and understanding it.”
But you say it can do anything… You mean like the improbability drive?
Ah yes the improbability drive, well that appeared to have some perimeters and seems to end up with good results, at least with respect to it being a drive and the film didnt end when pressed. There’s an infinity drive on red dwarf too ~ if I remember correctly.
wiki
The Infinite Improbability Drive is a faster-than-light drive.
…is a bit QM
Destroying the world idea was to emphasize that anything good, bad or catastrophic could happen. The un-limitedness is what makes pressing it fun.
But we can’t know before we press it?
No we have no idea, otherwise it’s a genii with or without a will.
As I say, you could press it once and hope, then if the world/universe didn’t end, probability would perhaps make your programmed buttons more likely.
I’d assume that given the infinite potentiality of the button, that would include its relationship to the presser.
In that case, I do think I would press it.
BOOM!!!
^^
Would you accept it if I had the button and pressed it? Is this button dictatorship or democracy?
If you have the button, you better hand it to me now.
slooooowwwlllyyy…
Oh wait, I forgot the results were unpredictable…
Yeah, no, go ahead and press that fucker.
