Helping others to do their best, especially when it's something they are truly passionate about.

Generating world peace.

The world would become a better place, and no one would be able to trace it back to me. I get to live in a warless world and still have my privacy.

Judging from some of the prolific ones out there, cracking DRM requires you to also be absolutely batshit insane.

I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…

Game this is easy: I will be the best at commiting crimes without getting caught. In your face Moriarty

I was going to say "robbing banks" but I prefer the generality in your answer.

Time to contribute great code to tons of open source projects, completely anonymously of course.

Nobody's claimed stock investing yet, I'll take that one.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Can it be murder? I'd fix the world with violence if I could get away with it.

Making people laugh. They'll keep thinking there's someone funnier but they'll be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Being a spy. Did I crack the code??

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Not really. Spies need a handler. If no one can know then you can't tell anyone the secrets so you're a terrible spy.

Embezzling money

Social engineering. Give everyone a sense of agency but make the world in my image.

Give me something like physics. I'm just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can't be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.

Nowadays I'm busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.

Future’s market.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Innovating new outside-the-box stuff, procedures, code, whatever. A robust public domain would happily be my legacy.

No small amount of art too.

Being unnoticeable

Potatoes. I would be the best at potatoes.

Life. Nobody would ever figure it out. They might think/say "he's got the best life", but who would think "he's the best at life".
