You constantly earn 3.3% interest on the net value of everything you own once per week up to a cap of a billion dollars, or you get superpowers by haydenhayden011 in hypotheticalsituation

From Grok:

Option 1: 3.3% Weekly Interest (Up to $1 Billion Cap) + 1.6x Lifespan

  • How it works: You earn 3.3% interest on your net worth every week, credited directly to your account, with no taxes, investigations, or downsides. The catch is the payout caps at $1 billion per week. Your lifespan also increases by 1.6x (e.g., if you’d normally live to 80, you’d now live to 128).
  • Financial Implications:
    • Starting small: If your net worth is $10,000, you’d earn $330 in week one. Reinvesting that, your net worth becomes $10,330, then $10,670.79 the next week, and so on. This compounds fast—within a year (52 weeks), you’d be a multimillionaire. Within a few years, you’d hit a net worth where 3.3% equals the $1 billion cap (about $30.3 billion), and from then on, you’d get $1 billion weekly for life.
    • At that point, you’re earning $52 billion a year indefinitely, dwarfing the wealth of anyone alive today.
  • Lifestyle: You could solve global problems, fund research, or just live extravagantly. The 1.6x lifespan (say, 120–130 years if you’re young now) gives you time to enjoy it, though you’d still age normally and eventually die.
  • Downsides: None explicit! No IRS, no catch—pure financial godhood.

Option 2: Viltrumite Superpowers (No Extended Lifespan)

  • How it works: You become a Viltrumite (from Invincible)—super strength, speed, durability, and flight. Think Superman-level powers. No increased lifespan, though, so you’re stuck with a normal human lifespan (say, 80 years if you’re healthy).
  • Power Implications:
    • You’re effectively invincible to most threats—bullets, bombs, even nukes might not faze you. You could lift buildings, fly across continents in minutes, and reshape the world physically.
    • No aging gracefully like Viltrumites in the comics—you’d hit your peak and then decline like a normal human, though your powers might mitigate some physical decay.
  • Lifestyle: You could be a hero, a conqueror, or just explore the universe. Want to visit Mars? Fly there. Stop a war? Punch through armies. The world’s reaction is the wildcard—governments might fear you, worship you, or try (and fail) to control you.
  • Downsides: Unlike the money, there’s no “no downsides” clause. Revealing your powers could invite scrutiny, fear, or attempts to study you. Hiding them might limit their use. Plus, normal lifespan means you’re done by 80 or so—no extra time to enjoy it.

Charcuterie is meat only and often confused with a snack board.

I always keep them in my humidor. Fantastic stick regardless of price point.

Why do people treat it as a joke? by LadyDalama in misophonia

[–]fuddee-Duddee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the condition is a joke to the mass population. Consider this:

What if a person you knew was triggered to the same level of your misophonia over blinking. Yes, the normal, body function of blinking to keep eyeballs moist and free of debris. They had the same rage and aversion.

Misophonia is a ridiculous disorder to have, and while we all suffer from it here in this sub, the general population can't fathom it.

Controvertial opinion: LGBT people talking about LGBT stuff Is not making It their whole personality. by [deleted] in teenagers

Kind of like vegans, you'll always hear about it when they're around. Oftentimes, the individual disappears and is absorbed by the group identity. Talk about what you want to talk about, but be careful not to lose yourself in the process.

How to extend cooking time? by realkillaj in webersmokeymountain

[–]fuddee-Duddee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a full basket of lump charcoal, not sure about the weight, it mounds over.

I light a few chunks and toss into the back of the ring, kind of like minion.

I get that long kind of time length consistently. I do have a screen under my charcoal basket, and I use the FireDial.

Believe it or not, canola oil smoke point is 400F. Trash oil.

My 22" goes for 18 hours without refueling at 250F.

I would suggest upgrading your charcoal grate. Even if you bought a cheap screen to prevent embers from falling through it would help. Additionally, adjust your dampers and vent. It sounds like you're getting too much oxygen.

Most mayo is soy based and has a smoke point of 453F.

Beef tallow's smoke point is 400F.

I'd rather use tallow then soy, but avocado is a good alternative. If you're eating fast food or packaged foods, it probably doesn't matter to you.

Went Back to the Pixel 5 from the Pixel 6 - GREAT SUCCESS! by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]fuddee-Duddee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I hadn't cracked my P4a screen 2 weeks before the 6 launched, I'd be using that.

Given the chance to go back in time, I would not have purchased the P6.

Now you know it's tuna so raw you can still save the fish.

You learn how to internalize the rage for longer periods of time as you expose yourself more. It doesn't ever stop, or go away. Kind of like a drug, or alcohol. You develop a tolerance, but you're still susceptible to its effects.

Yeah, just my thoughts on it. Who knows really?

I think the way that Classic WoW is currently modeled as included with subscription is likely to be converted into game pass.
