Current Events > Would you rather make $2,400 every single day for one year...

(+) Yeah! (+)

On the one hand I definitely don't want to be poor forever. On the hand superpowers could realistical solve my money problems even if it's only a couple days a week for 3 years. I probably would content doing crazy stuff and odd jobs.

Unless I did the math wrong, $2,400 a day for a year isn't even a million.

With those superheroes, I can shape the world as a whole. I could destroy the wealth and value of the Heritage Foundation. I could drop Putin in the middle of Ukraine and throw Netanyahu in front of the UN. Teleportation is helluva power.

You are correct! It equals out to $876,000. Basically $100 an hour, with no breaks.

whats to stop you from teleporting into some vault and taking millions and teleporting out lol

Do we get to pick the days of the week?

Technically, the UN can't do anything beyond yell at him and wag fingers. It'd be embarrassing for Israel. I don't know how much international support Israel has outside of the USA right now or how much they need outside of the USA.

That money basically wins me life barring likegetting absolutely fucked by early cancer or barely surviving a serious accident/murder attempt. I can live in EZmode.

I have no debt so I can buy a House and still have plenty of money to invest.

The powers lasting effect is harder to pull offeven If I got rich with it difficult to do so morally and safely. And I am not invincible so if I fuck up Im dead.

Yup!

Probably money. Making that much or more with the powers would be too much work or likely land me in jail at some point.

Im making a shitload of money on those days I have superpowers. More than the (roughly) $875K that the other option would give.

And superpowers, yo.

Do any of those powers let me survive bullets?

No, but nnless someone with a gun is waiting on you with the gun drawn, you can probably outmaneuver them from your speed.

well, those would be the only days I was breaking the law to make money >_>

With super strength, speed and teleportation, I can get more money in a few minutes than the entire year with the other option.

If you did crimes without the powers or failed to mask your identity when doing whatever you were doing with the powers, that's a you problem. This is under the assumption the bullet is coming from someone looking to kill you for something you've done with the powers.

If we get to pick which days, then easily the super powers. Sign a contract with a football team for more than 1 million a year.

Oh, I'm way too lazy to take superpowers over free money.

"Hurr duff with super speed I could make more money"

Yeah, you could, but you'd have to get off the sofa and wear yourself the hell out running 300mph, lol.

One of these guarantees I'll never have to work again regardless of what I do. The other one requires me to work my ass off just to have a chance at matching it.

This is an easy choice.

I take the money because going back to life without those super powers would be depressing

Your super strength would greatly enhance your durability (it'd be pretty silly if you could lift a tree but still got knocked out by a sucker punch), so yes, you could survive bullets but they would sting like hell.

Superpowers, easily.

I've seen Jumper.

876k is alot but imagine you could make billions being the worlds super hero

How much money could i make if can teleport to mars and other planets to gather sample?

But once the government finds out about your super power, they would just hold your family hostage and have you work for them for free or they dissect you right?

Making money legitimately using the super powers whilst keeping your identity hidden is always the hardest part.

im fine with the money

Gib money.

Police/military/agents/supervillains/etc could still just come for you later on a day you didn't have the powers and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Superpowers.

Teleportation would be sweet.

teleport an asteroid to earth sell it for billions boom

Super Powers. I'd make a hell of a lot more money with that than 850k.

I'm honestly surprised the results are so one-sided in favor of the money.

Being alive with free money is preferred over accidentally killing myself with superpowers

Powers

Can the teleportation be used on an object you are touching instead of yourself?

Putin and Russian top brass could use some special deliveries...

People who would take the money have no imagination.

People who would take the superpowers don't understand the many risks associated with having them.

The superpowers are more interesting, even with risks included. How many other people who have ever existed had the chance to experience something completely outside the realm of normal human existence? You really rather have muh numbers go up fast :^) ?

Money. Couldn't care less about the powers even though I'm sure I could make money with them. The cash would get me so much closer to retirement for absolutely no work.

I mean.... how much money does that one job where you change the bulb at the top of a service tower? Something like 150-200k for once or twice per year? That would become childsplay with teleportation.
