You have the ability to control any person in the world for one minute, what do you do with this ability? - Divisions by zero

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 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 st 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.
Only thinking of yourself, tsk tsk.
We’re at a point in world politics where taking out one person isn’t going to change much anyway.
Sounds good, but what’s to stop them from changing it right back once the minute is up?
I’ll give myself a raise and then self-immolate him. No takesy backsies.
Denied by HR
NEXT
Even magic won’t make me more money. =C
Make someone edit the balance of my bank account. I think you can buy a lot of things, including further immoral services with cash.
The person who approves or denies new shows on Netflix or something and then spend the next minute approving as many animated shows as I can.

I don’t think it’s possible to pull that off. There might be tools to send SMS to every active number but figuring out how that software works takes way more than 1min. Even if you also get the knowledge there might be several security measures in place, like additional approvement before sending.

I would control Putin and check the famous russian window.

Inb4 and during Trump + gun

Nah, won’t do shit except cause more chaos and Vance would invoke insurrection act. Not remotely worth it.

Have Musk denounce trump would make it more funny.

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.
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?)

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.

Think more along the lines of their driver or pilot?
News be like: “ANTIFA Sleeper Agent Activated by DEMOCRAT DEEP STATE and ASSASSINATED [Person Name]!”
Musk -> nearest window
Think bigger. Musk could probably walk into a meeting room with Mango Mussolini, strapped up, and he wouldn’t be searched.
Your action was a lot less violent than mine.

The only people it would be ethical to use this on are those in permanent vegetative states… and myself.

I think I’d opt for one minute of true self-control. Maybe I could overclock myself or something. Never know until you try.

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.

Best commenti ever!
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.

Trump will take a hero dose of acid, there’s no other way
I would control King Charles and have him order the dissolution of the empire.
Can that include the end of the monarchy itself, please? 👍
Probably one of musks 50 body guards.

Biden: order seal team to take out any and all known associates to the MAGA movement. Do this under extreme secrecy and urgency, using all classified information related. Also any controlling parties to the GOP and DNC.

Mitch first for old times sake.

I would save it for an armed person protecting a full cabinet meeting after january 15th.
Fox news be like: “DEMOCRAT DEEP STATE ANTIFA SLEEPER AGENT…”
yeah better make it febuary just to be sure. thanks. that could have been a disaster if I had gotten superpowers or a genie wish.
I’d control Biden and have him do his job by executing the traitors that are a legitimate threat to the US constitution.
In one minute?
It would only take a minute to issue the order
It takes more than a minute for a staffer to draft the thing

To OP and others giving similar answers; ok, so you take control of the person…

Do you actually know how to do the things you say?

Using OP as an example, do you know how to use those hacking tools? Do you know how to go about hacking everyone’s phone? Because otherwise the only thing you’ll have access to is whatever is in arms reach of said NSA agent.

Shhhh if every movie director thought about movie plots deeper, we’d have 90% less movies. 😉
Some crypto bro bastard is about to lose their holdings…
Take over Clearance and have him shoot kegStand. Based on the timing, the next 58 seconds can be a sick rant about guns.
Make someone kill me tbh
That’d take more than a minute.

The End.

Do a whole lot of research, then take control of the president, and pardon people for a minute. As far as I’m aware, it takes effect as long as someone hears, or I write it down or something.
Make this useless toxic twat at work do something so stupid she’d be fired immediately and never be able to get her job back.
As someone with ADHD, I’d immediately get myself doing the things I want to be doing. Manipulating/screwing over others? No thanks. The havoc I wreak just in myself is plenty enough
Wouldn’t you just get distracted and put it off for later like you already do when you already have control of yourself albeit through the very same ADHD-addled brain you were hoping would did some reason spend the one, in some way supernatural minute, highly effectively?
Well I hope not. Worth trying it out I think
Make Putin jump through a high rise window.
Lol, people would just think he got couped
Gotta keep the tradition you know 😉
