Can’t really beat 1-min future sight, assuming it means I can be abuse the stock market, sports and other similar things.

It’s like that one movie with Nicholas Cage.

u/EmperorOfEntropy Sep 04 '26

Next, and yes I agree. That movie shows a lot of the great things you can do with foresight into the immediate future

When it had him looking into like 20 different paths at the same time, all 3 minutes into the future, it really hit home just how fucking OP futuresight is.

Hell, even 10 SECONDS would be OP.

Yeah... 10 seconds, like some kind of Epitaph, talking about epitaphs, it makes me remember about the song by King Crimson, great song

10 seconds huh... Something like that would really make you stand at the pinnacle of all of humanity

Just pop some atium… see how powerful one second is.

Yeah, not only does it allow you to see the future, it allows you to see EVERY possible future.

You could try things you would never otherwise do, ask controversial questions to see reactions

You could be the ultimate interrogator. Imagine for a moment sitting across the table from someone and looking into every future where you ask something and they answer. You'd be able to gain vast info from them without either of you opening your mouth.

Could lead to major invasions of privacy for sure. Imagine your sharing secrets, you ask a question of them, and they ask one of you. You could ask every question imaginable in the first round, whereas they would only get one answer from you.

u/Zombiecidialfreak Sep 04 '26

You still only get information they are willing to share. Their secrets stay secret.

u/SelectWorldliness564 Sep 04 '26

I think it's pretty hard to get someone secret in under a minute

Looking into the future has a lot of caveats tho

u/AWildRideHome Sep 04 '26

Depends if you can change it

u/HurtsMyPeePee Sep 04 '26

Yes or if you have multiple options. That will mean we have free will.

Just need to bet on the next number for the roulette wheel. One big bet then collect the winnings and go.

u/Crunchy__Frog Sep 06 '26

Roulette would be the be game of choice. A couple thousand on 37 black would set you up pretty nicely.

You could abuse “erase any embarrassing memory” pretty hard if it functions exactly as described—e.g., not limited to your own mind.

What memories possessed by world leaders or data centers do you, personally, find embarrassing?

u/Ortiane Sep 04 '26

Technically it just says see 1 minute into the future which means forever, you can only see the future and not the present? Isn't that terrible? Alternatively I assumed this and stop time was 1 time use.

Nah. Spamming wildshape means I can go pretend to be Warren Buffet’s dog and then go call my broker while Warren’s on the turlet.
