The real answer has to lie in the definition of “nothing” in the context of what counts as having something to show for your spent money vs not having anything to show for it and succeeding.
It’s most basic form is:
If nothing means no physical products then you can’t buy a jet, but you can donate it all to charities.
You win
---------
So the next level of having nothing at the end may prohibit donations, considering that to be a type of “gifting”
So now you have to spend it on a service. No holding on to goods, no donations.
So you use AWS and set up a bullshit loop of web traffic that produces a 100M$ bill for server usage.
You win.
---------
So now we must ask if the genie considers the service performed to you by AWS to be “something.”
What could we possibly do next?
Set up a charity ourselves and use the 100M as seed capital? Maybe, but if you own it or gain the assets like buildings or something you might lose.
Buy 50M lotto tickets and hope you don’t win? (Powerball is 2$ a piece I think.). Maybe…but that’s risky. That’s like a 1 in 6 or 7 chance to win at that point, plus you’re nearly guaranteed to win snaller prizes which would have to be dealt with.
I think the answer is a boat. A fuckin huge one that’s a little older. This does two things, 1.) its a single object holding all the value. If we can end the month without it, then we win. 2.) it’s easy to get into dangerous and perilous situations in a boat.
Sail that bitch into a hurricane and try to turn around. This runs the risk of failing if the boat lives, but all you gotta do is turn it sideways relative to the huge waves. As long as you genuinely were sailing the ship and not sabotaging it I don’t think it would fall under the “throwing money away” category.
Idk. It’s hard I’ve you get ticky tacky with the definition of nothing. I guess you could just yolo options. Either you’re going to be broke or you’ll have billions of dollars by the end so you win either way? Maybe the boat thing ain’t the answer. Lol I’m gonna leave it anyway.
Ha that’s a good point.
Their issue is that the card has the physical lock switched on on the SD card?
Sir this is a Wendy’s
JK that’s a lot of good info
Vsauce just made a short form about these except a much bigger one
Right, for the sake of brevity and not talking past my knowledge base, I was omitting that part. I knew that the deuterium reaction was coupled with tritium but I didn’t know we had to use a precursor reaction to get the tritium. That’s really neat knowledge.
Because the problem fusion reactors will solve isn’t free energy. We already have that, like you suggest. Solar, wind, geo thermal, hydro power, oceanic tide harvesting, and to a certain extent nuclear…all of that is free energy waiting to be harnessed.
The problems it solves include packaging (think footprint for a solar farm power plant), radio activity (like fission power plants), predictability ( solar, wind, etc), and location (hydro). Fusion puts clean power plants anywhere you want them, safely and reliably.
All of these allow you to advocate for a functioning power plant to governments and citizens without any drawbacks besides costs to build and maintain. It’s an easier sell than any other power in existence. It runs off of water.

Sage posting for real
What the fuck does protecting commercial ships from Iran rebels have to do with Israel Palestine?
It has zero niche reach. Unfortunately, that’s really important for the people who try to switch from Reddit. You can’t compete with Reddit when your favorite hobby sub there has 20,000 members or even many more and meaningful daily activity.
The people here are mostly more techy and nerdy which leads to niceness but also holier than thou attitudes everywhere.
The content here turns over slower, which is another big sticking point, but the bones of the site are good.
It’s suffering from being new and different. If it can hang on long enough for Reddit to go full Facebook, maybe it can hit a stride and prosper but I honestly don’t know.
Seriously, Elon Mump is his running mate or what?
Thank you I have wanted to do this for a long long time.
Such a good point about accepting the character in TV and movie adaptation. It can really increase the risk of not liking the adaptation
