Only one time use.

Think of like world leaders, celebrities, ya know πŸ˜‰. Are you gonna make them do some embarassing things, or illegal acts.

My answer:

spoilerTake 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 at 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.

Take over Clearance and have him shoot kegStand. Based on the timing, the next 58 seconds can be a sick rant about guns.

If sleepy Joe is on the ball, he'll have two young replacements in mind.

Some crypto bro bastard is about to lose their holdings...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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 for a minute 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. πŸ˜‰

I'd control Biden and have him do his job by executing the traitors that are a legitimate threat to the US constitution.

I would save it for an armed person protecting a full cabinet meeting after january 15th.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Fox news be like: "DEMOCRAT DEEP STATE ANTIFA SLEEPER AGENT..."

Edit: Btw inauguration is Jan 20, you got your dates mixed up

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

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.

Probably one of musks 50 body guards.

Trump will take a hero dose of acid, there’s no other way

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I would control King Charles and have him order the dissolution of the empire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can that include the end of the monarchy itself, please? πŸ‘

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

That would be nice too.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Make the Pope announce his conversion to Buddhism (and declare it an infallible doctrine of faith, ex cathedra).

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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.

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 bigger. Musk could probably walk into a meeting room with Mango Mussolini, strapped up, and he wouldn't be searched.

Inb4 and during Trump + gun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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?)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Vance is an opportunist and would cheerfully go along with the Project 2025 folks in order to be their figurehead and grab a bunch of loot. And they'd be happy to have him as a figurehead, so long as he does what they tell him to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Make someone edit the balance of my bank account. I think you can buy a lot of things, including further immoral services with cash. I hope there is someone who can do it in 1 minute and doesn't require any review by other people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

This would undoubtedly backfire just like that TikTok "hack" that happened a while ago. (If you're out of the loop, it boiled down to writing yourself a bad cheque for a ridiculous amount, and then spending the money that appeared in your account before it bounced. Presto! Cheque fraud! Bad things are coming to you soon!)

"We're sorry to inform you that you have spent money wrongly credited to your account. You now owe us all that money back and we've slapped on a 100% interest rate for good measure. You could fight this in court, but we have more money than Croesus, so you'll lose. Sincerely YourBank Inc."

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Ooh - Jeff Bezos, and some way to irreversibly triple every non-executive Amazon worker/contractor's pay, plus full healthcare. He can afford it and Amazon has enough direct and indirect workers that it'll be felt throughout the country and the economy, and other companies will eventually be forced to compete, raising living standards for most people (and increasing tax revenue).

End with a tweet supporting an inflation-linked living wage, Medicare for All, and UBI.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sounds good, but what's to stop them from changing it right back once the minute is up?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I'll give myself a raise and then self-immolate him. No takesy backsies.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Only thinking of yourself, tsk tsk.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

We're at a point in world politics where taking out one person isn't going to change much anyway.
