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@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

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@programming.dev 13 points 11 months ago

Inflation would stop that eventually.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

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

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.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

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.

im going to watch so many elder scrolls lore videos

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

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

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

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@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 11 months ago

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

[-] cooljacob204@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

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

I think the loophole here is Spotify, because with all that knowledge, you are two or three relatively minor skill issues away from total musical mastery

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 29 points 11 months ago

My question is how would you know exactly how to play a song but not be able to play any instruments. That doesn't make any sense.

If you know how to play the chords for the verse, chorus and bridge then you know how to play it on guitar.

[-] Scribbd@feddit.nl 12 points 11 months ago

I think it would be like drawing. If you don't have aphantasia and have an epic image in mind, and basically only be able to put it down in stick figures.

In this case, you might know what strings to press and how hard to strum those strings. But you still need to get your fingers on those strings without tangling them and know how to pluck and strum them.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

Oh man, as an artist and musician I feel this

[-] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago
[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Oh good one. Didn't think about that.
Or paralyzed from the neck down.

[-] Shotpun@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

As soon as you learn the instrument you know how to play every song on it, but that doesn't mean you have the skill necessary to play it

I pick Firefox, what does that get me?

[-] clubb@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

It gives you the brain to not use the apps listed in the post!

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

Youtube. Would save me so much time...

But also the amazon one would be nice, it would just require a lot of careful planning.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A couple of these are really tempting. I need more information about Amazon, specifically do I get to choose the free items? There doesn't seem to be any stipulation that I can't resell them, so that's good.

[-] esc27@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Seems easy to loophole around as well. Since the downside is “you” can only shop at Amazon, you just need someone else to do your regular shopping. Of course you could be screwed if Amazon ever shuts down.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

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.

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

The Tiktok one is definitely underrated. You could start the most successful advertising company. Or grow a content farm worth billions.

YouTube would be insanely powerful, but only if you can control it. It could be a disaster if you open up YouTube and immediately fill your head with Jimmy Fellon clips and various Top 10 lists.

[-] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The YouTube one is OP. I can learn so much.

[-] JayJay@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

So uber is pretty much just gta in real life.

[-] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 10 points 11 months ago

I'll get the amazon one and totally undermine the company

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

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

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

[-] spechter@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

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

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.

Well, that power is amazing for studying and tutorials

Yeah, plus it feels like the trends for my age group are just the trends from younger people, but with a slight delay

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Spotify. I can already sing, and do so semi-professionally. I can kinda play two instruments and would be down to become better at them through practice if I already know how to play every song.

[-] egeres@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Easy, pick the youtube and binge-memorize all of MIT's curriculum

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 months ago

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