RBWells ,

Feel like money would solve a lot of my current problems, so by no consequences do you mean anyone I victimize doesn't actually lose anything but I do get to keep it? Then I am going downtown to steal a lot out of cash registers and pockets.

If you don't get to keep anything but that means safe from pregnancy and disease? Might organize an orgy I guess.

I would have said rob a bank, that seems more effective. But pickpocketing in the right part of town should also create decent results.

You get to keep the money, but the victim would lose it.

RBWells ,

Alright, would you like an invite to the orgy, then?

I don't think I'm capable of robbing the people who don't need their money.

I'm blowing off all of my responsibilities and getting high and playing video games all day.

I'd skip the high part and just focus on the video games.

So, you know how in total recall he has this tracker inside of his head that he defeats with a wet towel and by just kinda pulling it out?

So, you know how it's a pretty common thing in movies, like MI:3, suicide squad, I think agents of shield, unthinkable, the belko experiment, where guys just have like, bombs in their heads?

So, you know how scientists have used wifi to see through people's walls?

So, you know how we currently have a bunch of wifi satellites spanning the earth?

So, you know how we've kind of automatically selected in our political system for a bunch of mercenary politicians that only ever act out of their own self-interest and are easily manipulated with like, free lunches, lobbying, and pamphlets?

That's kind of my like, optimal ghost in the shell style conspiracy dealio. I dunno, I'm sure you'd need some way to get around people just getting CT scans and stuff like that, and a lead case would probably still just show up like a tumor or something, and any electronics you had would look pretty obvious too, so, who knows. You'd need to put like a water based gel around it or make it out of non-metal materials or something, which sounds a lot harder.

Other plans include maybe like a nuclear killdozer spidertank. Kind of like a metal gear, but instead of just having a nuke on it, the nuke serves the dual purpose of also being a mobile power source, either in the form of a nuclear reactor, which you could maybe use the heat of to drive hydraulics and like a heat pump or something, or a nuclear battery, and then you use it for political leverage. Maybe you could have nuclear satellites sent up from like an island or something. Just a bunch of satellites with nukes on them, and then they fall and nuke things and then you can use that for leverage maybe once you have enough of them. Maybe especially if you were like a private company or like you were sending them all up in disguise as a different kind of thing, because then nobody could really like strike back at you without risking getting nuked by a nuclear satellite, and then MAD doesn't matter at all because they'd be nuking a bunch of random bystanders. Something along those lines.

Dunno, just thinking of some stuff that you could maybe do that's like, more interesting or better than just like "oh I run around and kill all the politicians I don't like, like I'm shooting puppies in a gravel pit", you know? Because then those politicians just get replaced with other, shittier politicians as a result of our political system being kind of dogshit, and even beyond that, as a result of like, a majority of the population being kind of stupid, complacent, and perhaps even actively evil, if the behavior of white america broadly for the last 200 years is anything to go by. You know, burning the collective futures of your children basically just out of spite for racial minorities and to exclude them as much as is possible. Dunno, part of me says, don't blame them, they've been tricked by the rich, and the population's critical support for those causes was helpful to actually making progress, part of me says, the real progress was made by relatively small or extremist groups in the population, and that politicians and the majority white population will use every tactic in the playbook to keep things going as much as possible contrary to whatever political will you try to cook up, which is why you see sharecropping, segregation, redlining, denial of VA loans, increased police spending, the crack epidemic, and all that only comes about into the common cultural consciousness like a decade after the damage has been done.

I dunno, in any case, I don't think you could solve all the problem in 24 hours alone, you'd have to set something up for a longer term set of solutions.

Also begs the question of, what are "consequences"? Where does an action begin or end, really? If I steal a million dollars from the bank, am I free from the consequence of having a million dollars? I dunno, I sit on the couch, and I'm free from the negative consequence of having not become god, which, in comparison to the infinite positive consequences of becoming god, is a negative consequence. Maybe something along those lines.

tobogganablaze ,

The question is kind of self-deafeating. Doing anything that will result in absolutely no concequences is .. doing nothing.

Even if you could do stuff and then turn back time, you couldn't even remember it as that would be a concequence.

antidote101 ,

Technically everything would just freeze in place for 24 hours and then start again. No one would notice to the point this could be happening all the time and we'd be none the wiser.

Yeh I was gonna say sleep but then apparently I'd just be tired again after 24h

*24 hrs of perpetual'ish motion

havokdj ,

If it continues after 24 hours, does it necessarily have to stop considering it is still the same action?

MadBob ,

This is the "can God create a stone so heavy" thing. It's known as a metaphysical impossibility.

havokdj ,

By that point, could it REALLY be called perpetual motion if it only lasts for 24 hours?

No consequences?

With all due respect to the seriousness of suicidality, I can't help but wonder how killing myself would play out.

I would suppose you get rudely resurrected when the 24 hours expires.

@uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Ah, so like Groundhog Day.

So the choices are indulging in risky experiences, whether for pleasure or for character building (e.g. facing a storm at sea). Only memory is preserved. You can't make sociopolitical improvements or enrich yourself. (Though if you revert to a day ago you might know what stocks to buy in the morning.)

Cocodapuf ,

Install a whole bunch of robot body parts and become a super human..

Just to clarify, "No consequences" means that it'll all be fine, my body won't reject the implants and this won't be a terrible horrific idea, right?

Right....

Notyou ,
@Notyou@sopuli.xyz avatar

That's right you have no consequences for 24 hours. Then you're body will start rejecting the implants.

Nice try FBI, but you're not getting that confession out of me this easily!!!

Bartsbigbugbag ,

Nationalize all major industries and confiscate all wealth of billionaires. rewrite the US constitution to guarantee adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care to all citizens and to guarantee the right to high speed rail and electrified public transport to all citizens, codify a progressive tax system right into it, remove the ability for any private money in elections, establish mandatory workplace democracy in all public and private companies, and require that no more than 2% of gdp can go to the military, also include an usafrucfian property rights system in it with mechanisms for confiscation of land not being used for the public good. arrest all those who have publicly stated they want to privatize any public service including schools, those who have ever fought the unionization of their workers, and sentence them to 20 years of re-education and labor. Dismantle the Supreme Court and replace it with an elected body of officials subject to recall by the public. Hopefully I’d have some time before the 24 hours to prepare.

Well, that sounds like a busy day!

establish mandatory workplace democracy

I'm really surprised that this isn't talked about as an option very often
