If I had a quarter of a trillion dollars, I would

• End homelessness

I would be on Twitter 23 hours a day searching for the most epic memes to pwn my enemies with, your thing is cool too though

launch solar shades and try to fight global warming

waxmonkey.bsky.social•536 days ago

shit he already has the space company

legalba.bsky.social•536 days ago

I'd buy you a fur coat
(But not a real fur coat, 'cause that's cruel)

phostetlerart.bsky.social•536 days ago

I checked the list, and every possible way to attain a quarter of a trillion dollars requires the involvement of nazis somehow.

saveourfarms.bsky.social•464 days ago

Uhhhh no one likes a braggart

poliluev-schmidt.bsky.social•536 days ago

I think we need to invest into education and fight for a better future, then just end some things, because it is impossible.

philipalan.bsky.social•536 days ago

You seem like a good Phil. Followed.

i would cure lactose intolerance

elisaallechant.bsky.social•536 days ago

You know they have pills for that already? I keep 2 in my bag at all times

sidbyob.bsky.social•536 days ago

that is merely a Bandaid for my bad tum tum

elisaallechant.bsky.social•536 days ago

I feel you💕

comethunter.de•536 days ago

It is not just you but I fear that the percentage of humans thinking alike might be quite small, nevertheless.

chrisannad.bsky.social•536 days ago

I’m with you

jrekier.bsky.social•536 days ago

And go down in history as a saint for generations?
C’mon, have a little ambition!

It's a sad sad statement on humanity.

loganemitchell.bsky.social•536 days ago

You're so old school Phil!

mckelvie.bsky.social•536 days ago

The problem we always have, I guess, is you don't have that amount of money without being happy to exploit other people. And then it all goes from there.

comraderobot.bsky.social•536 days ago

*ethical utilitarianism has joined the chat*
hey guys I’ve got some ideas

leahashley.bsky.social•536 days ago

Same. It’s really that simple. 🤷🏽‍♀️

mikeebee.bsky.social•536 days ago

Here's goes Phil with his sensible thinking and good ideas.... AGAIN!! 😀

p7037.bsky.social•536 days ago

How does he think the world he is ‘promoting’ will be able to ‘do space travel’. He is driving hatred and our next world war. He is pushing angry people, fuelled by ignorance, grievance and bigotry towards conflict with everyone else.

warriormonk.bsky.social•536 days ago

Sadly, the kind of personality you need to have to accumulate that kind og money is EXACTLY the kind that will do anything to accumulate even more, including promoting nazis.

inflatabledream.bsky.social•536 days ago

Unless you end up with the same brain rot all these rich assholes have. I truly believe once you have a certain amount of wealth it permanently changes your brain for the worse

alexiwolfe.bsky.social•536 days ago

According to South Park money cures AIDS. Maybe it actually causes brain rot instead.

crow.omg.lol•536 days ago

The fact that you're using money for good is probably 𝘸𝘩𝘺 you'll never have a quarter of a trillion dollars. Capitalism protects its own, and 'using money to help people' is antithetical to it.

pikariocraft.bsky.social•536 days ago

who what how who? I just got on this app and I've been banned from shitter for the past month so I'm a little bit out of the loop.

pipapaul.bsky.social•536 days ago

You probably would not. Because – besides other things – if you were at that point, you’d be the same asshole as all the other billionaires. That is why we should TAX THE RICH!

wmrjk.bsky.social•536 days ago

by far not enough to even do one of this things permanently

philplait.bsky.social•536 days ago

bobmorris.bsky.social•536 days ago

ARE YOU WOKE? BECAUSE YOU SURE SOUND WOKE.

rexvrex.bsky.social•536 days ago

What really bakes my noodle is that the people who can actually afford to do this (Elon et al) are DESPERATE for adoration and approval already, but they seek it in all the wrong places and fuck stuff up worse.

They could just do this, and they'd have a shining legacy that would live on FOREVER.

swirlosquirrel.bsky.social•536 days ago

This really is what’s most aggravating.

Knowing multiple people who would do smarter, more helpful things with that kind of money.

Things that would lift up LITERALLY millions of people, and make the planet happier.

darrylayo.bsky.social•536 days ago

I would do all that and I would also give Phil Plait an ice cream sundae
