if u can create something from nothing what it would be? (u can create something once)

[southsamurai@sh.itjust.works]

Well, the obvious and practical answer is a giant block of some kind of precious metal. Whichever one has enough value per unit of weight that it's essentially an insane amount of wealth that can fit in a fairly small space. That way, you can have a big brick of whatever it is in your closet, chip off bits and sell them off after a little work shaping them. Gold is the obvious pick, but maybe platinum would be easier to work with in terms of turning into a sellable form.

It partially bypasses the whole thing where you have to figure out how to nicer launder big amounts at once, or worry about flooding a market. You just causing use it to supplement whatever income you have, and have that safety net as needed.

However! This ain't a practical situation.

Let's get a little more interesting. Ignore any of the the tricks to try and get infinite uses, that's no fun.

I think the most fun thing would be a personal flight device that never needs fuel, and protects you from the effects of the flight. Magic carpet, jetpack, not really too hung up on the exact form as long as it's usable without drawbacks. Like, if it's a flying carpet, it needs something so bugs and weather aren't messing up the flight. If it's a flying car, it would need to be essentially radar proof unless it came with freedom to go anywhere, and could still avoid other flying things

I think what I would want the most is something that can heal though. Just fix any disease, any injury, like that. Not necessarily aging, I don't want to live forever. I just want to be healthy while I live.

If the object could also extend the life of animals, that would be perfect. To be healthy again, and never lose another companion? That's worth selling your soul for.

hmmm... jetpack... its a perfect answer because...

did u want to fly to ur work?

its maybe will be so cool...

A black hole the same mass as the sun, to replace the sun. Just to not see the world burn.

Can I make a replicator?

[okelote360@lemmy.world]

u can make EVERYTHING but only once

[acefuzzlord@lemm.ee]

Assuming I could create magic items, definitely a magic pen that allows me and only me to grant wishes that don't have a monkey's paw twist to them nor have genie trickery to them.

[brotherl0v3@lemmy.world]

I would create a device that could locate any missing object. Go treasure hunting to make a living, and help find missing people / pets when I can.

Why limit yourself to real materials? Just whip up a few hundred thousand miles of superconducting cable and then set your price.

If you have to quibble about things being possible, just figure out graphene batteries/capacitors and you're set forever.

[southsamurai@sh.itjust.works]

Problem with that kind of stuff is having it not be currently available. You can't just up and sell a bunch of superconducting cable without someone wondering how you got it. With precious metals, selling off small amounts won't draw as much attention.

You can, possibly, keep your stash of platinum secret for the rest of your life, claim you made a trade or whatever. Superconducting materials take a lot more backstory to explain not only how you got any, but how you keep getting it. Unless you sell it all at once, which is still going to cause attention, and you end up with the possibility of the funds being frozen or seized.

Since nobody else even has superconducting cable at all (afaik, anyway), you could even end up in deep shit with people wanting the secret bad enough to fuck you up.
