I have OP magic. I can reverse time and take my money back from your future. There is no escape from OP Magic Lemmings.

You have 1 year. What do you do with this small sum of money?

    Take out a loan using it as collateral. Then it doesn’t matter if you take it back, I still have the loan. Then I guess buy a small company and gut it for resources. Rinse and repeat. Get rich. Lose my ethics. Start paying off women with offers of a horse. Lose my hair. Get my butt hair put on my head. Buy a shitty company and make it shittier. Treat my kids like garbage. Buy the president. Be the most hated man in the world. Fake my gaming stats. Die alone.

    I refuse to accept it. I don’t make deals with magical tricksters. Same reason I don’t fuck around with genies. It’s just not worth it man.

      OP hasn’t specified what he’d do if not repaid so that’s not genie-like according to my Aladdin research.

        I just try to avoid deals with magical beings of any kind. It never ends well. Thank you, but I’m more than capable of saving for retirement slowly with a regular retirement account. I don’t care what the consequences may or may not be. I don’t fuck around with magic.

    I’m curious how you can take it back if I no longer have it. Say I spend it on activities and services, how can you recover it? Physical goods, you might be able to take those.

    Am I reading this right or is everyone else in the thread reading it wrong? It seems to me what you’re saying is that you go back in time and take it away after the fact like we never had it. So all these answers about buying stocks or bonds or everything are pointless. Objectively the answer is to have as much fucking fun as you can cuz it’s going to be taken away with timey wimey stuff before it ever happened. Am I right?

    How are you delivering it? That’s a lot of pennies.

    I’m asking the wrong question, does it have to be the same 1 million dollars you gave me? Can it be something which is valued (by you) at 1 million dollars?

    How does inflation effect this? A million dollars today might not be worth a million dollars in a year.

    If I buried a million dollars worth pennies in my backyard, well actually, I probably wouldn’t be done digging the hole after a year. Also, I don’t actually have a backyard. If I did have a yard and it already had a large pit dug, which could contain a million bucks worth of pennies, after a year would I need to haul them out for you or does your OP magic also allow for easy transportation?

    Is your OP magic for sale? Must be less than 1 million dollars or I can’t afford it.
