Only one time use.

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

My answer:

spoiler

Take 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.

    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.

      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.

    Make the Pope announce his conversion to Buddhism (and declare it an infallible doctrine of faith, ex cathedra).

      Oh that’s a good one. Get the pope to pass a bull offering everyone salvation, past, present, future, fictional, factual, human, animal, spirit.

      They’d reverse it quickly, but it would be too late. It happened.

      And because the Holy See has ecclesiastic jurisdiction (as we all learned in Dogma ) then it would totally count. Heaven for everyone.

      And if there are angels in Wisconsin cursed by God and breaking divine infallibility unmakes the universe (it doesn’t) then the world would end.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        The human body is amazing and has limiters that stop one from pushing too hard.

        in times of great stress an individual can push past those limits.

        Every fiber of my soul would be screaming to get out of that sack of shit, even if it would blow out his ACL’s, I would ensure that fatass would at least get 10 good inches off the ground.

        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.

          Vance is an opportunist and would cheerfully go along with the Project 2025 folks in order to be their figurehead and grab a bunch of loot. And they’d be happy to have him as a figurehead, so long as he does what they tell him to.

      The actual problem here is that it’s not clear when he will be near a gun to the point that someone could do that. You only have a minute. Is Trump within a minute’s range of a gun and would not be stopped by his security detail if he tried to use it?

        My thought process is: Turn to security guy, say, “gib gun plz, pres order”. Offhand I dunno if they’d comply, but worth a shot (see what i did there?)

      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)

        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.

          Wear a mask

          Go to Bitcoin ATM

          Withdraw

          Ez

          I mean, its better than having the money wired directly to your bank account like the other user suggested.

            Huh, I wasn’t aware there’s such a thing as a bitcoin ATM. That would make it possible I guess, but I feel like eventually you’d still get caught some way or another.

      Nice job of spotting the philosophical.

      I say doctors should have a way to do this with patients to deterministically diagnose a person, (with consent of course). I’d do that in a heartbeat with my chronic issues.
