I take option one in both instances, feeling less sure of it in the first case because obviously I'm going to start regretting it from about ten seconds in, and keep regretting it for the next thousand years.

But then, I'll blink, and it'll be exactly as if the torture or bliss never happened, and in that case neither effect me and I've gained a billion or a hornet's nest, the billion is obviously preferable.
