Not exhaustive but a good start
Every person in the world with a net worth over $1B USD. Then I'd equally reallocate their money across every human on earth.
Rather than re-allocating their money across every human on earth, why not allocate it inversely proportional to the net worth of the recipient (and maybe also local currency conversion rate), to uplift the poorest folks?
Could probably choose a lower number, too - say, $100M. Nobody needs anywhere remotely close to that.
Yeah 100M feels right. Also, wealth is usually tied up in non liquid assets, and it makes no sense to either force liquidation even if it crashes the value, or divide ownership equally among 9 billion people. Each asset needs to be re-allocated on a case by case basis. Like, the private international bridge in Detroit, it's much more valuable as a single asset than the steel scrap it could be sold for.
I just realized that the realty market always runs a drought to up its sale price. Also, since homeless also don’t have housing, there’s an even greater housing shortage than just those seeking to move into a “forever home.”
I’d rather make sure everyone has everything they need for at least basic life. Healthcare, education, infrastructure to name a few. Food for schools. I know a lot of countries already have this. But many don’t even have access to clean water. Ideally worldwide. And throw corrupt politicians and military overlords in there. Although many of them would be counted in the >$1b. Get rid of the religious wackjobs and maybe we could start progressing as a species.
That's just gonna drive up inflation. Instead, invest that into better farms, industries, businesses, and schools that provide services at-cost or free. Or just use the assets left by those guys for the public good, they're already set up.
B-but billionaires have rights too!!
Seems like an arbitrary threshold. Does anybody actually need $900 million? Or $300 million? Or...
Billionaires!
Another black hole. I just wanna see what happens you know?
They just merge. They're just really really dense concentrations of mass-energy, not extradimensional portals.
Trick question. Time dilation means nothing ever actually enters a black hole. It just keeps getting infinitesimally close.
The Unsellable Elephant that thw other guy just got on his weird application survey question.
I had the opportunity some "time" ago and I chose to send our entire universe into a black hole. Now we are all stuck here, infinitely reliving the same existences and timelines. My bad.
A white hole.
Ah yes, the ones who ushered in fascism were the checks notes people to the left of the fascists.
One of those infinitely long, perfectly rigid, incompressible, conductive rods I read so much about while I was trying to learn the stuff you need to know before you can start studying black holes
By now just the entire planet.
Myself to see what's all the fuss is about.
The Sarlac pit might be a blessing since the Mandalorian suggests you could escape, but a blackhole… that’d suck.
A probe.
10^52 electrons
Not much, as I understand it it's as difficult, if not more difficult to actually enter a black hole, as it is to throw something into the sun. Literally easier to just fling it out into the cosmos.
You have to shed the inertia you already have to fall into the sun. The difference is about 30km/s or 108,000 km/h to slow down enough. The rotational plane of the solar system can be used to speed you up to escape velocity, especially with a slingshot off one of the giants, so it requires a lot less fuel.
Mosquitos, all of them. Ecosystem will equilibrate eventually and all will be fine.
There is like a very specific country in the middle east I am thinking of...
The perception of that country Israeli quite poor at the moment.
Money, borders
Was gonna say billionaires, but then I thought: why not go myself? See you on the other side, losers.
IIRC, and understand the theory correctly, I believe your best chance for survival is a spinning supermassive black hole. I think that's the one that might not spaghettify you. I know you want supermassive, just can't remember if you want it spinning or stationary.
If you can survive it, you'll end up at the end of the universe within your own lifetime, due to time dilation. Possibly almost instantly from your perspective. Not sure what you'd do at that point though.
