Only one time use.

Think of like world leaders, celebrities, ya know πŸ˜‰. Are you gonna make them do some embarassing things, or illegal acts.

My answer:

spoilerTake control of an NSA agent with access to the most powerful hacking tools, hack everyone's phone, install a program that randomly have a popup at random intervals, the popup message says "I'm watching you". This also tries to spread itself to any other phone it can connect to. Pure chaos 😈

Pretty sure I can do this in a minute, depending on how good the NSA tools are.

Trump will take a hero dose of acid, there’s no other way

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (5 children)

People are going to say Trump and Putin and all that shit, but I'm going to control my boss and have him double my salary.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only thinking of yourself, tsk tsk.

We're at a point in world politics where taking out one person isn't going to change much anyway.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Ooh - Jeff Bezos, and some way to irreversibly triple every non-executive Amazon worker/contractor's pay, plus full healthcare. He can afford it and Amazon has enough direct and indirect workers that it'll be felt throughout the country and the economy, and other companies will eventually be forced to compete, raising living standards for most people (and increasing tax revenue).

End with a tweet supporting an inflation-linked living wage, Medicare for All, and UBI.

I would save it for an armed person protecting a full cabinet meeting after january 15th.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Fox news be like: "DEMOCRAT DEEP STATE ANTIFA SLEEPER AGENT..."

Edit: Btw inauguration is Jan 20, you got your dates mixed up

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

yeah better make it febuary just to be sure. thanks. that could have been a disaster if I had gotten superpowers or a genie wish.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Okay, I've had a nice nap, so here's the answer: I'd take over Putin's body, demand the nearest person's gun, and rid the world of him (Putin) once and for all.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

take over Trump on inauguration day just as he's about to take the oath. claim the election was rigged in my favor by the Russians and everyone I know was in on it also that I'm (he) a Russian spy. call all magas mentally retarded and they should drink bleach to cleanse the world of their filth.

finally take a swan dive down the stairs and break my neck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

The best part of this would not be the act itself but the insane mental gymnastics that Americans would put themselves through to deny or justify it so as to result in, ultimately, no change at all.

Not a lot you can do in one minute. Maybe a tweet? so would have to take the muskrat.

"After a discussion with president elect orange turdball I will be shutting down X January next year, you can find me over on Truth Social"

Then sign him out of twitter from each device in range.

Make Putin jump through a high rise window.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah i see we think alike. Except i would have it during a live video and make it look like he 'accidentally' topped out. People would be like "he... he actually just fell out of a window"

The person who approves or denies new shows on Netflix or something and then spend the next minute approving as many animated shows as I can.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That'd take more than a minute.

Inb4 and during Trump + gun

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, won't do shit except cause more chaos and Vance would invoke insurrection act. Not remotely worth it.

Have Musk denounce trump would make it more funny.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vance doesn't have Trumps cult so he wouldn't be able to get away with any sort of Trump stuff. He'd try of course, but deffo get a lot more pushback.

Take over a billionaire and tell assistant to transfer 5m to real me and never mention it again or he will be fired.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

That's sus af.

Just set up a bitcoin wallet before you use the ability. Then take control of someone like musk, who definitely has some bitcoins, transfer all to your wallet.

Untraceable! (ish)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Very traceable, in fact. Do you know how bitcoins work?

The issue is when you try to spend the bitcoins. You'll eventually reveal some of your personal info when doing so, unless you are willing to work with the underground. Might go well, might end up with you in a ditch or a cell.

The only people it would be ethical to use this on are those in permanent vegetative states... and myself.

I think I'd opt for one minute of true self-control. Maybe I could overclock myself or something. Never know until you try.

Take over Clearance and have him shoot kegStand. Based on the timing, the next 58 seconds can be a sick rant about guns.

If sleepy Joe is on the ball, he'll have two young replacements in mind.

Have Trump take off his diaper on TV and say "my smol wee wee has poo poo on it, me sad"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Give it like a month and you won't have to waste your one ability use on this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Are you trying to get him elected a third time?

Is supporters would eat that up. "He's just so brave and relatable."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Probably one of musks 50 body guards.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I would control King Charles and have him order the dissolution of the empire.

Make someone edit the balance of my bank account. I think you can buy a lot of things, including further immoral services with cash. I hope there is someone who can do it in 1 minute and doesn't require any review by other people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

This would undoubtedly backfire just like that TikTok "hack" that happened a while ago. (If you're out of the loop, it boiled down to writing yourself a bad cheque for a ridiculous amount, and then spending the money that appeared in your account before it bounced. Presto! Cheque fraud! Bad things are coming to you soon!)

"We're sorry to inform you that you have spent money wrongly credited to your account. You now owe us all that money back and we've slapped on a 100% interest rate for good measure. You could fight this in court, but we have more money than Croesus, so you'll lose. Sincerely YourBank Inc."

I'd control Biden and have him do his job by executing the traitors that are a legitimate threat to the US constitution.

Some crypto bro bastard is about to lose their holdings...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I don't think it's possible to pull that off. There might be tools to send SMS to every active number but figuring out how that software works takes way more than 1min. Even if you also get the knowledge there might be several security measures in place, like additional approvement before sending.

I would control Putin and check the famous russian window.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Make this useless toxic twat at work do something so stupid she'd be fired immediately and never be able to get her job back.

Make someone kill me tbh

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

To OP and others giving similar answers; ok, so you take control of the person...

Do you actually know how to do the things you say?

Using OP as an example, do you know how to use those hacking tools? Do you know how to go about hacking everyone's phone? Because otherwise the only thing you'll have access to for a minute is whatever is in arms reach of said NSA agent.

Biden: order seal team to take out any and all known associates to the MAGA movement. Do this under extreme secrecy and urgency, using all classified information related. Also any controlling parties to the GOP and DNC.

Mitch first for old times sake.
