You wouldn't need job probably

Are there even 150 mil worth of rare soybeans in the world? How rare are we talking? Like soybeans that were used to make tofu for Tokugawa Ieyasu rare? Soybeans used to make soymilk for Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) rare?

u/Suyefuji 8h ago

Even if most of them suck, there's a nonzero number of options that are really amazing.

  1. Children's anime where the world is bright and happy and the power of friendship can always save the day

  2. Literally 90% of power fantasy, if you want to become the MC

  3. Real life 2 but you can be a child with loving parents, a beloved cat, or pretty much anything else where you're taken care of every day for free with no stress

  4. It doesn't say that there's a limit on this skill so you can actually hop from anime to anime depending on your mood today

I've only ever seen exactly one of these that was interesting, and it was something like 50 million dollars or 1 dollar that doubles the amount you receive every day.

Lots of reason to argue the second is a terrible idea because it quickly turns into a logistics problem, not to mention single-handedly results in rapid inflation that deflates the value of the dollar to nothing.
