It’s not a probable outcome, but there literally is no such thing as an impossible outcome.
You donate to the Corrupt Society For Curing Non-existent Diseases in Cute Kittens, the money is used for hallucinogens, the hallucinogens are found by the owners kid, who when high comes up with a physics kitchen experiment which creates an Zeno Machine, and mess around with it randomly. This turns out to simulate an infinite amount of infinitely large cheesecakes, and through a symbolism that you haven’t learnt about yet simulated chesecakes have according to your utility function an utility equal to the logarithm of their weight in solar masses.
Who said my utility function was unbounded? (Which, BTW, is the same as my reply to the Pascal’s Mugger in the wording “create 3^^^3 units of disutility”.)

No one—he just said you don’t have infinite confidence that your utility function is bounded.
Yup. Thanks for handling that one for me.
