I hadn’t scrolled that far down yet lol
Doesn’t mean he has to help. Just good at it when he chooses it
Some say the world would be poorer without Charles Manson. Not me - some.
Generating world peace.
The world would become a better place, and no one would be able to trace it back to me. I get to live in a warless world and still have my privacy.
A lot of people would argue Jesus did that historically. Or maybe Buddha. Obviously they were famous though.
Jesus made sure EVERYONE knew
Jesus explained a special equilateral triangle shape and its internal geometries, mainly group theory. It has an identity where if you imagine rotating it by 120 degrees, there’s no change in position afterwards. He said there were 3 important things you should know and they were all equal and in a way identical; they perfectly related to each other.
Ah yes… My favorite gospel
It’s the Bible codes, which you might not believe in or care about. To have an idea like that, which people still believed in and would easily spread across the world, he needed to understand about mathematical geometries. To do this, he spent most of his life studying. It was a form of logic he used to say things that were hard to disagree with.

CRANKIN’ MY HOG AROOOO!!!
I love that THE_PACK memes are leaking into Lemmy. WE MADE IT BOIS!!!
THAT’S CUZ THE PACK NEVER LEAVES A BROTHER BEHIND AROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!1!
Cracking DRM. Win-win.
Judging from some of the prolific ones out there, cracking DRM requires you to also be absolutely batshit insane.
I should give cracking a go.
That type of hacking is mind-blowingly complicated. Literally. It’s impossible to understand it all without being batshit insane.
Definitely not wrong, when I read about it virtualizing the whole deal… I’ve worked in relatively adjacent fields before and I couldn’t even give you a satisfactory high-level explanation of how it works.
I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…
Game this is easy: I will be the best at commiting crimes without getting caught. In your face Moriarty
I was going to say “robbing banks” but I prefer the generality in your answer.
computer programmer
Time to contribute great code to tons of open source projects, completely anonymously of course.
exactly
Theft.
Can it be murder? I’d fix the world with violence if I could get away with it.
You’ve seen Death Note right?
If anything “Using violence to fix the world” would be the better thing to be good at since it protects you from the Monkey Paw to a certain extent. Exceptions:
- a “fixed” world being one devoid of humans
- a “fixed” world panning out in the opposite way you imagined (everyone is equally miserable instead of happy for example)
Everyone being equally miserable could be preferable to some people being happy, since it gives everybody equal reasons to work towards improving the situation… Except, of course, the monkey paw would ensure that wouldn’t pan out
you could kill trump and some other corrupt politicians and world leaders and world would be a better place
Monkey Paw: Trump and other corrupt politicians being high up the authority chain made sure more evil politicians didn’t get authority.
So you kill those as well. Now trust in democracy is crumbling because for some reason a lot of politicians keep mysteriously dying. “Good” politicians enact laws to protect their lives but those laws are bad as well so now you also have to off the good politicians. I hope you see where this hypothetical is going. The world is not so simple that a few well placed assassinations would fix everything, if that were the case it’d have been done before.
Nobody’s claimed stock investing yet, I’ll take that one.
Being a spy. Did I crack the code??
Not really. Spies need a handler. If no one can know then you can’t tell anyone the secrets so you’re a terrible spy.

Can’t know I’m the best, can still think I’m a half decent spy yknow
Making people laugh. They’ll keep thinking there’s someone funnier but they’ll be wrong.
Embezzling money
Social engineering. Give everyone a sense of agency but make the world in my image.
Father?

You sound like a lead anime character, and I mean that in the best way.
Being famous, in order to create a paradox.

If you haven’t seen the movie Frank (2014) I’d recommend it
Based on a true story, unbelievably
Basically Buckethead.
Give me something like physics. I’m just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can’t be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.
Nowadays I’m busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.
