writing-prompt-s:
You have proof that the universe is a computer simulation. Instead of telling the world about your discovery, you exploit bugs in the simulation to teleport and clone yourself.
Oh, no, cloning yourself is NEVER a good idea. There are a number of books, movies, comic books etc that explore all the ways THAT can go wrong.
Better ideas:
- Enable ‘healing aura’ on yourself and make a fortune as a faith healer adhering to some really random deity.
- Edit a lot of wild new hair and eye colours into the human genome and watch the world get more colourful.
- Use teleport to break into a ton of museums, vaults etc. Don’t steal anything, just take pictures of a toy penguin in situ and run the most bafflingly thrilling Instagram ever.
- Figure out how to edit other people, then take the genitalia of the very rich hostage until they give all their money to a) the poor, b) you, c) environmental conservation or d) all of the above.
- Revive extinct species in really unlikely places just to watch the scientists flip their shit.
- Give yourself telekinesis and just go wild with it.
- Use ‘teleport’ and ‘glow’ to convince people you are an angelic visitor and give them a stern talking to.
- Create an ‘infinite coffee’ exploit and drive Starbucks into the ground.
- Be the best stage magician who has ever lived.
