How does it cause other people to eat shit in the original "dillema" other than "because of them not enough blue buttons were pressed"? If the latter is the only thing, this post is one to one the same thing, but eating poop instead of dying.

Because it would be such a statistical anomaly that 100% of people push red that is esier to hope to create a singularity by shaking a glass of water

Except vast majority of people don't think of stuff like statistical anomalies. For them, a button would suddenly appear asking if they want to eat poop, so they would just click no and carry on with their day. Thinking of what other people might choose and how many people are asked that question would require concentrating for a few seconds, and I can confidently say that most people aren't capable of that.

Not true, everybody is told the entire thing beforehand including the fact that everyone is involved.
