Not ask the internet what I would do – revealing that I’ve found an infinite money glitch.

    Shut up and tell absofukinglutely no one about it, then I would work out a way to secretly siphon it off to people I like.

    I'd spawn a million tons of cash above every single capitalist's house and let them be suffocated to death by the thing they love most

    Tell no one, live in my tiny house, buy high quality jeans, travel a lot by myself, get a library's worth of books, and make art/video games all day.

    Plant crops, sell crops and hold some back to plant next year’s crop.

    Too late, they patented GMO plants update is already out. If you try to grow the "natural" plants, they just get killed by the pesticides, also sold by the same company that sells the GMO plant seeds. You cannot legally replant the seeds, if they even produce seeds at all. They'd send their goons to threaten you.

    Well maybe it's too boring and obvious, but... Seize the means of production, distribute equal shares of its ownership to everyone, design a democratic process to decide what should come next.

    Build and buy media networks and hire the best investigative journalists. Back centre-left political parties worldwide and back unions and backstop strike funds until the whole world strikes like the French. Fund electrified mass transit, renewable energy and passivehouse construction and urban controlled-environment agriculture. Fund orphanages, school food programs and poverty alleviation and social justice causes.

    I'd also start an eco-religion whose funding goes to a land trust that buys important and sensitive lands to return to wilderness and 50% can be lightly used by humans as national parks and 50% is forbidden for humans at all. Church of Gaia. The church would have monks who work as rangers/land defenders to enforce the holy order.

    I would live a quiet simple life in a relatively modest but comfortable passive house on a permaculture farm. My "car" would be a selection of percheron horses and a small selection of carriage/wagons.

    If we had lots of time, then it's easy. Just buy total market index funds and sit and wait. This is why vampires are usually rich. If you've lived that long, and you're not rich, you're doing something wrong.

    $2 at 7% a year for 50 years = $58.91

    $2 at 7% a year, for 500 years = $1,505,863.24

    The power of compound interest!

    Duplicate money.

  • source
  • [–] 11 points 10 months ago

    Really? Keep it so quiet.

    Would do the things to the house that we say we'd do if we had all the money. But not more. Get the car my husband wants, but with a loan so it's not so obvious. I don't need one. Start putting the max into the retirement accounts and pull an extra couple thousand to pay for stuff each month.

    I feel like this would basically need to be laundered like crime money, if we wanted to do more with it, even good things. Would think on it, but without a way to do that I would just use it.

    Yes, it has happened to me.

    I had put my money into the ticket vending machine on the train platform. The ticket came out, but the machine could not cut off the paper properly. Well, not too serious, I could live with that ticket that was looking just a little bit crumpled. After several seconds, an error message appeared on the screen. Then the machine decided to give me my money back. So I had both: my ticket and my money.

    I liked that so much that I tried it again, and it gave exactly the same result again.

    I could probably have repeated it for hours, but then my train appeared. :-)

    When I was young we had a postage stamp vending machine.
    And I believe it had a bunch of stamps peeking out from under it. And also tried to extract some more. Took as many as I could, which ended in about 5 or 10€ in postage stamps :)

    I’d spawn a few million euros for myself and never worry about finances ever again. Ruining the world economy with hyperinflation isn’t in my interest, nor would I have any use for more money than that.

    Immediately not trust it and assume I'm too stupid or ignorant to see what the flaw in the system is.

    And next I'd be worried that, flaw or not, the authorities might find out about it, because that would almost certainly not end well.

    Even if there's truly a way to get something for nothing, someone else will find a way to take it away.

    If I had infinite money, I would create Medicare for All as a private company.

    It'd be like shooting all the healthcare CEOs at once.

    Use it sparingly, to avoid causing massive inflation as everyone realises the money supply is fucked.

    Look, I like chaos as much as the next guy, but blowing up the entire global economy is a step too far. And I could do a lot of good with a few billion that I can actually spend.

    Unless this means infinite actual value instead of infinite imaginary currency, in which case I guess I ascend everyone and everything into some kind of godhood, because that implies I can.

    Probably cause mass inflation and a return to bartering.
