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.
-
-
With a duplication glitch, wouldn't both technically be the same chick?
-
Twins is nice, duplicates is a trip
-
-
-
One guy already found this hack and created a shitty “AI” company
-
Crypto....
-
-
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.
-
- Tell absolutely no one.
- Helping the people who did help me when I was in need of help.
- Live an simple, boring life.
- Continue studying what I like (I love learning).
-
Plant crops, sell crops and hold some back to plant next year’s crop.
Real-life infinite money/duplication glitch.
-
That sounds suspiciously like farm work.
-
do it before they broke farms in next update
-
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.

Never mind the cost of land and labour/equipment, they're not important. /s

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.
-
I want to live in your world.
-
Sign me the fuck up as well, Solarpunks unite!

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.
-
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!
-
My wallet never would be empty, but just enough to buy a drink or a meal when need it
-
I'd fund two space missions:
Mission 1: to create so many physical coins to cause the formation of a black hole in orbit around the Sun.
Mission 2: to bring a certain guy in space and literally kick him in the ass in the direction of the mentioned black hole.
-
Fuck that guy
-
If you make a black hole next to the sun, I'm thinking the sun is gonna be the thing that orbits the black hole. Also the whole solar system is fucked. But maybe that's what you wanted with that scenario. 😅
-
Its funny how some people are willing to sacrifice the whole solar system and themselves just to fuck that one guy
-
It depends on the mass of the black hole. If you could squeeze the Earth to a small enough size, it would become a black hole and not much less would change from a gravitational point of view.

Continue doing what I love without having to worry about money being an issue
-
Tell no one, obscure monetary transactions to the best of my ability, and fund global communism
-
Duplicate money.
-
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 house and feed the homeless, rescue a SHIT LOAD of farm animals, and generally be a good person. But that's why I'll never be uber rich.
-
Username checks out and I'd like to express my support for this :)
-
-
Everyone's kickstarter will meet every goal. All of them. Even the bad ideas. 😈
-
I'd sell an e-book about this glitch on Amazon and generate passive income!
-
Destroy capitalism.
-
Abuse the fuck out of it so I could right as many wrongs as I could with said money.
-
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.
-
The thing about hyperinflation is that it's not a "real" force that occurs simply because there is more money in the system. It entirely comes from sociological reactions to there being more money in the system, mainly wage growth and capitalists reacting to that with price growth. So without tipping your hand, you could abuse the economic system quite a lot without sparking an inflationary crisis. Certain state actors, like North Korea and China, have counterfeited US dollars without causing any inflationary issues.

-
Outbid the car/weapons lobby and errect an eco-social government >:) Watch out, we'll support your purchase of an electric car and reinstate the Vegane Wurst!!!!
-
You'd better start with some pretty hefty security for yourself cause your have assassination attempts pretty quickly.
-
-
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.
-
See if I can manufacture a world-wide property value crash
-
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.
-
Probably cause mass inflation and a return to bartering.
-
Keep it to myself and fund projects I like (under the assumption that I could get a million € per h for example)
-
donate to wikipedia and fsf first and then get a beer
-
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.
-
Hack the planet!
-
Free housing, healthcare, and education for everyone!
Just kidding. I'd dress up like a bat and beat up clowns.
-
fund research in high density cities with good public trans. don't pay high but comes with housing, education, food, and other various perks. The housing and research institutes will have no parking.
-
House with a yard. One of the rooms is a sensory room. Quietly donate to causes of marginalized folks. Continue going to work.
-
Keep it a secret, give some money to those in need, and go see as many movies as I want without worrying about money
-
I'm assuming this is extralegal cash.
Start some businesses that could accept the money without raising eyebrows regarding revenue streams. Eventually quit my job to focus on these businesses.
-
Start a church. Cash donations, tax free.
-
-
Something terrible.
-
Mass duplicate rare earth metals at a rate that would crash economies and make white goods and alternative energy sources actually cheaper than fossil fuels.
Then while the world's having an absolute fit trying to recover from that, I'd find a way to duplicate expensive and hard to make medicine till it's functionally worth less than the packaging it comes in.
-
Sounds cliche but I would have a massive animal sanctuary. Our domesticated animals shouldn't be left alone. They need us as much as we need them.
-
Use it.
-
Use the hell out of it.
-
Get a peaceful night of sleep.
-
Buy name brand meds.
-
-
Have existential crisis.
-
I guess I might buy a new fishin' pole'na couple'a lures and go fishin'.
-
Crash the rouble.
Just glitch infinite amounts of it and give it to everyone
-
Honestly Russia's central bank is already on it, it's just taking a moment to kick in.
-
-
this already exists, it's calles the stock market. largest international casino ever conceived, learn the rules and it's all the $ you could possibly want (scaling above the 1 million mark gets tricky, admittedly)
-
This is kinda the plot of Hudson Hawk.
-
Fund my totally nonfictional company by commissioning professional online artists like Panda Paco or Reva the Scarf to make official portraits of all of us totally real people, starting with me, the head beaver.
That's probably the first thing I'd wanna do.
Not ask the internet what I would do – revealing that I’ve found an infinite money glitch.
