Let’s make the assumption that a single second of torture is equivalent to 1 billion dust specks to the eye. Since that many dust specks is enough to sandblast your eye, it seems reasonable approximation.
This means that 50 years of this torture is equivalent to giving 1 single person (50 365.25 24 60 60 * 1,000,000,000) dust specks to the eye.
You could turn every planck length in the obseravble universe into a speck of dust. At Answerbag’s 2.5 x 10^184 cubic planck lengths, that’s still not enough dust.

At this point, I thought maybe that another universe made of 10^80 computronium atoms is running universes like ours as simulation on individual atoms. That means 10^80 2.5 x 10^184 cubic planck lengths of dust. But that’s still not enough dust. Again. 2.510^264 specks of dust is still WAY less than 3^^^3
At this point, I considered checking if I could get enough dust specks if I literally converted everything in all Everett branches since the big bang beginning of time into dust, but my math abilities fail me. I’ll try coming back to this later.
Edit: My multiplication symbols were getting turned into Italics. Should be fixed now.
Let me attempt to shut up and multiply.

According to Google’s calculator,
(50 365.25 24 60 60 1,000,000,000)/(3^39) = 0.389354356 (50 365.25 24 60 60 1,000,000,000)/(3^38) = 1.16806307
Ergo, If someone convinces you 50 years of Torture, or 3^^3(3^27) people get Specks, pick Specks.
But If someone convinces you 50 years of Torture, or (3^50) people get Specks, pick Torture,
This appears to be a fair attempt to shut up and multiply.
However, 3^^^3 is incomprehensibly bigger than any of that.
You could turn every atom into the observable universe into a speck of dust. At wikipedia’s almost 10^80 atoms, that is still not enough dust. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe
