Imagine five million years of interest though. That dollar could actually turn into as much as $1.01
At only 3% interest, I’d rather take the dollar.
Though I, personally, probably won’t last long enough to enjoy my tremendous riches by then.
A dollar in five million years
Cause then I’ll be around that long
The genie granted his wish - and in a moment vanished. Elated he was, as he skipped off into the sunset.
1000 years later.
UnderpantsWeevil sat alone, in a dark metal box, suspended over lava, hanging by a long massive chain, circa 30km underground. How so?
He had been observed by various nation state actors over time, some who tried to kill him - many times, without success.
Everything was painstakingly documented by increasingly maddened agents, who poured over the various failed scenarios in utter amazement.
Run over by a truck? 7 times attempted. Gased to death in his bead? 4 attempts. Fatal stabbing? Proven not effective. “Accidental beheading”? 12 near misses.
in total 73 supposedly fatal wounds to the body, according to the medical sciences, all of which failed. No one could bring an end to UnderpantsWeevil.
After many captures (and several escapes) he finally landed in the hands of a North American despot known as Julius Trump the 4th - a supposed heir to the great emperor god.
This mad god king in a fallout empire decided to create a secret super-prison - because no one should be able to outlast the god king himself.
UnderpantsWeevil sat completely still in this oxygen depleted place, not a muscle stirring. Only the thought that it had been a scant 1000 years…
Good night, everybody!
Corrosion to the rescue! Don’t worry UnderpantsWeevil, Entropy, the one and every thing to which you are immune, will provide eventual salvation.
/r/writingprompts strikes again
Also the value of a dollar is going to be so high in 5 million years due to inflation.
Are you kidding? Can you imagine what a piece of human artifice from 5 million years ago would be worth to the right collector?
Umm, you looked around lately? You want 5 million years of this shit?
They gonna be alone relatively soon
Plot twist, take the dollar in 5 million years. Then do everything you can to cause global extinction.
Then FINALLY have some free time, instead of working 3 full time jobs.
Yes I would absolutely kill all life on earth just to get some free time. Humans had their time, and they created a world that led to…this.

I’m going to take a line from Hob Gadling
Look, I’ve seen death. I lost half my village to the Black Death. I fought under Buckingham in Burgundy. It’s not like I don’t know what death is. Death is… stupid.
Nobody has to die. The only reason people die is… is 'cause everyone does it. You all just go along with it. But not me. I’ve made up my mind. I’m not going to die.
WTF?! We’ve all been suckered into dying just because everyone does it? Man, do I feel stupid.
Yeah. We’ve got around 30 till the world ends, so what after that?
That was my first thought too. But I haven’t really enjoyed the last 30 so I’m not sure if I’d like to hang out that long.
Would you rather have 3 kids and no money or no kids and 3 money?
3 moneyz of course! With moneyz I can buy things. With kids I loose things. Easy.
world economy stuck at no kids and no money.
Real hustlers know how to take that one dollar in five million years and turn it into two dollars in ten million years
Billionaires: “Give a poor person a WHOLE DOLLAR? Intolerable! Elect more fascists immediately!”
I would rather get u for a dollar in 5 million years ❤️
patientgamers
Double it and give it to the next person.
I mean… With inflation, that dollar in 5 million years might actually be worth more than 5 million dollars haha! /jk
after 5 million years, with 3% annual interest. you’ll have 10^65060. we have no words to describe that wealth. you could spend a trillion usd on each subatomic particule in the universe and barely affect your wealth
but what if you adjust for 5 million years of inflation?
did you know that sound grow with time due to global warming affecting atmospheric pressure? google sonic inflation to learn more
I was never good at the marshmallow test so I’ll take the money now and regret the decision for the rest of my life
Just give me 15k lmao
