Stipulations of the question: - The billion dollars are deposited into your bank account quietly, nobody ever needs to know. - Superman flight. No need to worry about stuff like wearing a parka in the stratosphere - same applies to people you might want to carry, on a trip to tahiti or whatever. I think it's a tough call. I would probably want to fly. I'm not sure if I could use being able to fly to make much money, but it's a possibility. Lots of people have had a billion dollars, none have been able to fly. You could travel anywhere. On the other hand with a billion dollars you could travel anywhere also. But you need to deal with planes! Could you own and operate a private jet for your entire life for a billion dollars? You still wouldn't get to fuckin fly around. I think I'd fly. What about you guys. Okay edit to clarify flight rules. You can go into space but your top speed (on land too) is Mach 9. So you can get to the moon but it's a 70 hour round trip. Bring snacks. For reference this means circumnavigating the globe at the equator would take about 3.5 hrs. also, you can make money from your flight but NOT by carrying people or parcels. If you can come up with another way it's game. You can still carry a person, for fun. The Walrus fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Jun 10, 2020 |

Superman can fly into space so I'd just go get some space stuff and sell it for a billion dollars

Fried Watermelon posted:Superman can fly into space so I'd just go get some space stuff and sell it for a billion dollars The reality of space is that you would end up 'lost' very quickly while the earth orbited on some plane completely different from what you think it is because you flew at half a degree more of a bank than you thought you did. Rough way to go.

Flight for sure, especially if its the version of superman that goes into space. You could advertise to fly folks around, deliver medical supplies, etc for $1000 a trip and just do a couple of those a week to cover your income.

Flight seems like a hassle. The billion could be put to good use. e: just realized this is essentially a Hawkman vs. Batman discussion.

Another issue with flight is that you'd be obligated to help people. "Oh great another loving penthouse orphanage is on fire" with a billion dollars you SHOULD be obligated but you definitely won't be.

My Green Lantern Corps ring already grants me the power of flight so it's a no-brainer I pick flight because that damned thing falls off, gets stolen, or runs out of juice every other issue of my comic because of the hack writers and I really don't have much of a backup plan otherwise

Mach 9 is very roughly like 7,000+ MPH or 11,000+ KMH, you could gently caress poo poo up going that fast. Imagine hitting a wall going that speed.

As I said you can go in the stratosphere without issue with cold or breathing, so I would highly recommend getting up above bird flight level before you hit the afterburners, yes.

if you hit a piece of hail as a soft human meat bag at mach 9 it would go through you like a bullet, only it would do much more damage due to the absurd speed.

Tough question. honestly I think you're more likely to gently caress supermodels if you can fly than if you have a billion dollars. you're unique, you've got mystique. big nipples big life posted:if you hit a piece of hail as a soft human meat bag at mach 9 it would go through you like a bullet, only it would do much more damage due to the absurd speed. Look I said superman flight rules, ok? You don't need to worry about debris, just large objects.

The compression waves would move the hail to one side or the other of the inertial body creating them tho, and it’s relative speed would max out at terminal velocity.

mach 9 makes you the fastest flight on earth, you could offer to chauffeur jeff bezos and bill gates around for a month for like 10 billion and I bet they would pay. rethinking my choice here.

Yes it is. But let's keep it somewhat fair, you can make money off of your flight, but not by basically extending your power of flight to billionaires. If you want to have a Human Air Show and sell tickets that's fine, you just can't sell tickets on Air You. If you feel you could found a sex cult, that's fine. I guess, for you.
