AgentGrimstone,

Amazon seems like a no brainer compared to the others. The Youtube one is awful, I spend half the time trying to avoid videos, not watch them.

Jikiya,

Seems like it would be perfect for you then, as you would never have to watch any video there, ever again.

1rre,

AirBnB?

You can’t buy a house on amazon…

Well, that power is amazing for studying and tutorials

archonet, (edited )

Amazon, 100%. Bezos doesn’t get any money out of me, and Amazon has fucking everything. Sure, the quality varies sometimes, but who cares if you end up with a dud item when you can just try another listing for free? I’d order shit on the daily just for the fun of it, maybe start an unboxing channel even.

Zoboomafoo,

Amazon doesn’t even have the “no reselling” rule that Honey does

Zaphod,

You could also just order something super expensive for free and just resell it

Name,

Do they sell food?

QuinceDaPence,

Yeah they bought some food company

WarmSoda,

Yup. Whole Foods.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Yes but they also sell food online on their website (obviously only packaged and durable foods, nothing fresh).

WarmSoda,

That is correct, yes.

Spiralvortexisalie,

They have Amazon Fresh, Groceries on Amazon, and Whole Foods, as various options for fresh food ordered and delivered online. Many areas have same/next day delivery (free with prime+order min), I have noticed there is a difference in overlap between service areas with Whole Foods usually having biggest delivery radius/availability. us.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeI…

andthenthreemore,

Yeah Morrisons, but you have to be a prime member.

Valmond,

Pray they don’t stop …

atlasraven31,

Does AirBnb let me change houses every month. If so, that’s what I pick.

lightnsfw,

Yea… Free housing forever? Fuck yea! There’s enough nice houses in the world to keep me housed in luxury for the rest of my life.

atlasraven31,

If you pack minimally and the houses are fully furnished, it’s a great deal. Hiring cleaning staff for your last 2 days is much better than rent.

jimp,

If not it’s the worst one by far

blackn1ght,

I assume so, you can just never go back.

atlasraven31,

No problem if you just hop between copy and paste houses.

Rolando,

Yeah, but you have to spend the last week cleaning it.

And you also have to pay for it being cleaned.

redempt,

the YouTube one, are you kidding me? I could find a free course on how to do nearly anything, I could just scroll through a playlist and instantly learn months worth of material.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

im going to watch so many elder scrolls lore videos

wlsnt,

I’ll finally get what dark souls 2 lore is about

hemko,

All fun and games until you open a link to some playlists of nazi conspiracies

TheBERFA,

Are you saying that these videos would convert you?

hemko,

Doubt, but do you really want to have that shit littering your brain?

I’m happy the most disturbing shit I’ve been exposed was Happy Tree Friends, MLP jar, lemon party and backstreet boys.

Mediocre_Bard,

The YouTube one, for sure. I could learn so much!

ZOSTED,

But what if you’re just glancing across the recommended thumbnails and learning things you don’t want to know

Mediocre_Bard,

I want to know everything.

ZOSTED,

fair

SuicideSorcerer,

I don’t understand the Netflix one. Can someone explain?

Stern,
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

As I understand it:

  1. You imagine “Game of Thrones: But with a good ending”.
  2. “Game of Thrones: But with a good ending” comes into existence.
  3. You can’t watch "Game of Thrones: But with a good ending"
  4. The boatload of money that “Game of Thrones: But with a good ending” makes is yours.
wlsnt,

Can I have any actor in it? This is just free money forever without consequences. Can’t you pay another director to make his own version of your work so you can kinda see it? Sounds easy exploitable

SuperSpruce,

As a car enthusiast, the Uber one would be a dream. I could drive any car, including all the supercars and hypercars.

thecrotch,

If that’s your thing there’s companies that will let you pay a few bucks to take a super car around the track

SuperSpruce, (edited )

I wouldn’t call $250 “a few bucks.” That’s over 10% of the cost of my motorcycle which I’ve been saving for for a couple years. That $250 would be all for a glorious 10 minutes of driving one car, vs a year of riding my motorcycle for hundreds of hours.

_Sprite,
@_Sprite@lemmy.world avatar

YouTube is just a better Spotify you can look at music thumbnails and just fly through instrument and music theory tutorials

Stern,
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

Then the algorithm fucks you up and starts throwing Joe Rogan bullshit at you.

_Sprite, (edited )
@_Sprite@lemmy.world avatar

While that’s happening, I never considered scrolling through playlists of multiple mechanical and scientific shit and basically becoming Jimmy Neutron overnight. By then you’d be the greatest inventor/handyman/musician and I doubt a stray video about bullshit would ruin all of that

explodicle,

I’d just use Piped and adblock to control which ones I actually absorb.

BananaPeal,
@BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works avatar

Amazon will make me so much money that I can afford to hire people to shop other places for me.

macaroni1556,

You have to hire them on amazon though

BananaPeal,
@BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works avatar

No shopping involved if I just hire friends and family.

macaroni1556,

Only if you can buy friends and family on amazon ™

Mango,

Amazon. I can have anything. Even if restaurants count as stores, I can cook. I can also sell my free cars to buy drugs or whatever from places that aren’t stores. Heck, I can trade or pay individuals to do whatever.

explodicle,

It doesn’t specify stores

Mango,

It does say shop.

De_Narm,

Some are great. Take the Chrome one: Go to wikipedia and know something about pretty much everything. A lot of knowledge is useful even if you don’t properly understand everything.

Youtube is a lesser version of Chrome.

What’sApp entirely depends on how easily gullible rich people would give you money. You could probably just sell those information too.

Netflix and Amazon could yield some nice money.

Spotify would massively decrease the barrier of learning new instruments if you’re into that. But many of the benefits can be achieved by scrolling through notes/lyrics with the Chrome benefit.

nul9o9,

Reading technical documentation on Chrome would make you an incredible subject matter expert. At the very least, you’d be able to get degrees and certifications pretty easily.

MimicJar,
@MimicJar@lemmy.world avatar

Chrome + Wikipedia was my plan. Plus “website” is so vague I could also read millions of books. Grab a spot on a show like Jeopardy and become the new chanp.

Lifebandit666,

I can already sing and play the guitar, not brilliantly but idgaf, so the Spotify one is really tempting. But I learned to play the Guitar from YouTube, and also how to speed solve a Rubik’s cube and pick a lock, so that one would be super useful too. In fact I could just type in “How to play X song on the guitar”

So one of those two I guess, probably the YouTube one because job interviews would be way easier after a quick scroll through the thumbnails of a quick search before going in.

HerbalGamer,
@HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works avatar

Everything in the spotify one can be done with youtube, which is in turn superceded by the Chrome one.

Lifebandit666,

I do not agree.

Chrome: I know everything about every web page I have ever seen but don’t understand it.

So I don’t understand how to play a song.

YouTube: I know everything in the video from the thumbnail.

Closer, but I have to rely on the people on YouTube knowing wtf they’re talking about, meaning I gain knowledge about a lot of shit, and incorrect knowledge too

So the Spotify one, combined with the knowledge I already have of music, makes more sense for learning music.

Obviously using Musical Knowledge as the example

corus_kt,

Amazon has the best potential even if you limited the effect by 90% (one item a day). No stipulations about selling what you get

Lemmyvisitor,

what’s the point of selling when you can only buy from Amazon

explodicle,

Because only 10 of the items per day are free, and counting groceries you might want more.

spechter,

I don’t think I could sustain myself on one grocery item per day

noli,

One crate is still one item

Tangent5280,

One 500 gallon tank of lube. And yeah, this is a real thing.

pastaPersona,

The honey one is just as useless as the honey extension itself, otherwise the YouTube one seems like it would be super op for studying topics en-mass

kayaven,
@kayaven@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll have to disagree with you. You could buy a lot of items cheaper than $1 for free (insert the I’ll take your entire stock meme here).

You might not be able to sell them on, but you can probably solve world hunger with it by just giving it away. And if you insist of seeing personal benefit: surely the positive karma you get with people could get you something in return. Also no one said anything about trading instead of selling :)

snowe,
@snowe@programming.dev avatar

Inflation would stop that eventually.

Scubus,

Yeah but you’ll get spoiled on every show you watch, instantly comprehend the utter bullshit of any flat earth video that gets recommended, and you’ll have seen so much celebrity worship.

Good God, kill me before I suffer

shneancy,

youtube for studying topics en-mass? my friend? have you forgotten that wikipedia is a website?

olutukko,

Well you don’t see an ability to fly trough wikipedka articles on the list do you?

shneancy,

having omnescience about a website implies you learn things that are on it instantly, which means a short rabbit hole of clicking on wiki links has the ability to earn you multiple degrees in a week if you’re smart enough to comperhand the topic (this said please don’t use wikipedia as your sole resource)

and there’s always the random article button if you run out of ideas of what to search

HerbalGamer,
@HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works avatar

There’s also a lot of websites with science papers so I’m guessing the knowledge would be nearly limitless.

AgnosticMammal,

Tiktok is tempting if you could get a job as a social media manager

Buddahriffic,

Yeah, and with the way social media works, there’s a decent chance that after establishing a pattern of being able to predict trends, you’ll be able to choose them. You don’t even have to be a social media manager to make money from that. Sell celebrity status. Or don’t when someone comes to you but you can’t predict them going viral.

Or on a different angle, you could predict stocks that are about to go viral. Depending on how far in advance, you’ll also be able to predict future events and things like election outcomes. If you use your power to become well known on social media and can get stuff about yourself trending, you’ll be able to predict your own life. And if you can set trends with self-fulfilling prophecies, you could start revolutions or bring down regimes (or at least generate popular opposition).

wesker,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Virtually any kind of business or marketing advisor gig, really. You’d be a golden goose.

cooljacob204,

Tiktok one is by far the best. Downside barely there.

turddle,

Yeah people are hopping on the Amazon one (which isn’t a bad choice) but predicting the future of trends like that is powerful. Especially once you become accustomed to it and can capitalize on them
