    Grab the “2 random pills” and the “duplicate anything you own once” pill. Duplicate the “2 random pills” pill with the duplicate pill and eat both “2 random pills” pill and have 4 absolutely random abilities.

    Hopefully it’s pure chaos

      “2 random pills” and shoebox pill. Take the shoebox pill, and get a shoebox filled with the 2 random pills (since you got one they became “real”).

      If you don’t want to collapse civilization or piss gasoline:

      • Shoebox + any question = practically unlimited questions. Plus the first one should be something like “how can I achieve maximum happiness (in an easy way where current me would be comfortable with the results)?” and you can ask variations to get a clearer answer since you have practically unlimited ones. Only drawback is if “single-use” really means the duplicates don’t do anything.

      • Shoebox + groundhog day = probably get to live >10000 years (unless “single-use” prevents that)

      • Shoebox + pi money = practically unlimited money, no “single use” issue

      • Shoebox + kill one person = Death Note

        You win this round! Although a shoebox of Groundhog Day pills is probably hell. At least you get to choose to each each subsequent pill.

        what happens if I glue pills to the box, are they one item now? and if they are sewn together? if if the box is shredded and reglued, do I gets shreds, shreds + glue or intact box? what If I recycle a new box from the fibers of the original and add the pills in it, can I duplicate the pills now?

        They’re only duplicating the new shoebox pill.

        The initial shoebox is filled with all the pills from list, including a new shoebox pill and a new duplicate pill. In fact the duplication pill is reduant so long as you always use the new shoebox pill to get another box of pills.

        The duplication pill is still good to make backup shoebox pills. You don’t want to rely on the one and accidently use it on something else, breaking the infinite loop.

  • Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    So I did the napkin math, if you pick two random pills and two random pills, there’s a 19.05% chance to get something objectively bad but an 80.95% chance to get something worthless or good. Assuming infinite loops are banned and you don’t have a genuine interest in a given pill, 4 random pills is the best call.

    source
    • TheWonderfool@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thank you for doing what I was too lazy to do.

      I agree that 4 random pills is the best choice, also it is not specified that you must consume them (so if you get something bad you just dump or sell it).

    get π million dollars and get +3 on all charm. This would actually help me dramatically.

    source
    • BleakBluets@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding the “groundhogs day” power, but couldn’t you spend a year tracking winning lottery numbers, bets, and/or stocks and then “loop” that year and act on that knowledge in the repeat year? Then you would also essentially get +1 year of life and way more than $π million. I would also use the first loop to take medical tests of my health as much as possible since it wouldn’t matter if I went into debt in the first loop.

      I guess the downside would be that any progress you’ve made on personal goals would have to be redone. Or maybe you don’t get to decide the starting point of when you would loop back to. Or just my luck, there would be some butterfly-effect shit and I would end up worse off in the repeat loop because my investments would have failed.

      source
      • PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        way more than $π million.

        I don’t need more than $π million. I just need enough to get some stuff started. I’m not interested in getting rich.

        I would also use the first loop to take medical tests of my health as much as possible since it wouldn’t matter if I went into debt in the first loop.

        Fair enough, but I really need the charm. I’m autistic and I’m not good at being social. I’d definitely be willing to give up a few years of life for more charm.

        I would take the +3 charm and groundhog Day for a year. It would be really awesome to have 3 charm instead of 0, and if I could repeat Tuesday for an entire year then I could learn skills and practice things and read a bunch of books and memorize and establish a plan to purchase a winning lottery ticket, not excessive but maybe like the mega millions I don't know, and come out of the year into Wednesday with nine figures in my bank account and a clear plan of action.

    I don’t feel like reading all that. I’ll take the black one twice. Let’s see…

    1. Change amount of fingers at any time
    2. Hear plants talk by looking at them
    3. Chocolate has all vitamins and minerals I need
    4. Urinate gasoline

    I think I can live with that. If the plants get too noisy, I can always piss on them and light them on fire.

    Your average shoebox is 3523.513.5 cm, or 11103.75 cubic centimeters. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3. You can fit 11103.7519.3 = 214302 grams of gold in a shoebox. One gram of gold right now is $77.78 US. That’s 21430277.78 = over 16.5 million US. There are things significantly more valuable (but not more fungible) than gold, too. The Pi million pill is completely moot. Or just take both, I guess.

        Smaller quantities shouldn’t be too hard to sell. 16.5 million worth would definitely be a bit of a logistical problem. I’m sure a bank would help you out with an amount that large.

    The shoebox full of gold would be worth around $12M at current prices.

    (First Google result for size of a shoebox: …usps.com/…/priority-mail-shoe-box-P_0_SHOEBOX

    I just rounded down the measurements for a quick and dirty estimate of the internal volume.)

    The downside is that would be 341 pounds of gold so maybe specify for it to be in bars instead of a solid block.

      From a quick Google search, I saw a guy managed to fit 7,400 dollar bills into a shoebox. $10,000 bills are no longer printed but still valid, legal currency. Assuming that’s the max. That’s $74,000,000. You could dupe the box and net $148 mil.

      However, thinking bigger. Go with a shoebox full of perfect diamonds. The value could conceivably be in the billions.
