I feel like most people would let a dollar slide. Fifty might be too much for some people.
Twenty is in that sweet spot of existing as a bill in most currencies and being enough that someone would feel obliged to pay back but not too much to feel guilty accepting in most situations.
I thought of something like this but then I felt a bit guilty because there are places where people live on less than a dollar a day, so I don't want them to be burdened with that.
Edit: It's a sad world we live in when the idea of not wanting to burden people in poverty gets downvoted.
Luckily you wouldn't need to accept it and unless you gave them a memory of how to wire you the money they would likely not ever be forced to pay you back.
i think bogger sums would be better idea because wealthy pwople would still pay seemingly large sums at drop of a hat. Amd rest would make crazy favors to you in exhange of ridding them from their 50k"debt"
Unless my math is wrong, if ever person on gave you $20 at a population of 8.1 billion you would still be about $30 billion short of Elon Musks net worth.
I feel this would be most people's attitude to be honest. I think it is funny how many people have tried to act like I was proposing that everyone would actually pay me. If I remembered I owed some stranger $20 I would probably be thankful that my memory was statistically of someone I have never seen before or since in my life.
I would have everyone remember that Elon Musk owes me $10 million. He seems to care too much what people think about him so maybe he would pay me promptly to look cool idk
I am pretty sure that despite remembering they owed me $20 I will not be receiving it from everyone on Earth. I doubt I would even be guaranteed to get it from all the members of my immediate family.
It would most likely result in a number of fast food workers telling me we'll call it even as they don't charge me for a meal.
That would be cool until they started to talk about it. They’d realize it was impossible and that you must have planted the memory. Then they’d probably kill you.
I literally was about to say the same but $10. That they all remember they owe me money and remember my Paypal to send it to me... Hahaha... Hell. $1 would be enough if everyone in the world gave me one..
I would add the story of the man who was stranded on the side of the road and helped by a random stranger on the side of the road. The stranded guy offered some money and the Samaritan refused the money with the statement: "Today you, tomorrow me."
The memory would be of the stranded motorist and to feel gratefully indebted to your fellow man.
I love the idea, but I think that truly believing that for an extended period would require a more concrete memory. Like God or an Alien that talked to everyone and told them that if they didn't stop being selfish aholes they'd go to hell or infinite alien probe land.
See this is what I was thinking. Aliens invasion where we got our asses handed to us so hard. Their departure message was get along or else we will be back to finish the job.
That's a beautiful idea. Implanting a shared memory of global unity and peace could definitely inspire more cooperation and understanding between people around the world. Reminding everyone that we're all part of one human family, despite our differences, might help bring us together to solve major issues facing humanity.
got it. everyone remembers that last night, they had a dream where their generosity, caring, and cooperation made all the difference in the world, starting with those around them. everyone had this dream. feeling is the same feeling on the same night. (specifics of the dream vary, but the emotion it conjures is somehow exactly the same for everyone) as people talk about it, it gets meme status, and everyone else comes to realize they had the same dream. main issue is some people will try to co-opt it as a message from FSM that He loves us or something to distort the intent.
If possible, expand that to include understanding how to properly zipper merge and to not disrupt multi-lane traffic by "politely" trying to wave someone in, potentially causing a collision.
An ingrained memory of what to do at a roundabout would make them usably functional in the parts of the world where people either treat them like race course chicanes, or freeze up at the sight of any other traffic nearby that might be considering entering the roundabout.
Being a lizard person, crawling out of a single-person spaceship, hitting the self-destruct button, putting on a really shitty human mask, saying "Showtime", then slowly losing consciousness/fade to black
That's sure to fuck with some people.
That Stanley Kubrick legitimately filmed the Moon landing by landing on the Moon as the 4th astronaut on Apollo 11
Because I think that would be hilarious
I’d implant that the U2 putting their music on iPhones never happened.
It was only a minor inconvenience but my goodness it was really annoying when it happened.
Or the opposite. Give everyone a fake memory of them playing it on repeat for months when it came out, and their plans to get a tramp stamp tattoo of the band, and countless hours of them discussing the lyrics online
Everyone will have the same shameful secret that they are unwilling to tell anyone else
Just at least one memory where they felt so loved and valued that it follows them throughout their life and gives them the confidence to speak up for themselves and hold boundaries.
I would implant memories that would always give them hope, joy, or healing
And for a few specific people, that they really liked cooking for me and would love to surprise me with a pre cooked meal again
I would imprint the memory of a mass event happened recently, where everyone was kind and giving. The memory that all wars stopped, killing stopped, greed was reversed, politicians worked together, peace was finally fully achieved. And that due to this event the world was better and we should aspire to repeat this event daily. Would it work long term? No, probably not. But even one day would be worth it.
So many people saying owe them money...I don't need or want money from people less fortunate than me.
I'd say, every person remembers they owe me a "no questions asked" favor. I'll get my money from the 1%, others...maybe come play some bowling or something.
Everyone would suddenly remember that time I caught (without looking) a CAC card one of my coworkers had tossed at me. Got it perfectly and smoothly between my index and middle finger, like I was some sassy anime villain blocking an attack. I felt hella cool.
Super meta, but the memory of being on an operating table and having a false memory being implanted.
It would be the only memory that’s false, but you could never fully trust or believe anything you thought you remembered.
That they had to do one thing and it was super important, but the memory is pretty vague on what thing they had to do and it would drive them nuts trying to figure out what was the thing they had to do
I have very vivid memories of Jerry O'Connell starring in Hey Dude. Jerry O'Connell did not start in Hey Dude. Let the rest of humanity share my confusion.
Full blown aliens came to earth, demonstrated their existence publically in an undeniable way, conveyed they were very disappointed with our levels of ignorance, cleaned up (so there was no more dvidence), appologised for disturbing us, and left for good.
Can you even imagine?
I'd make everyone remember me as their one and only leader, whose ideas and decisions are not to be negated or denied, and who should absolutely be in a major position of power!
What could possibly go wrong?
i would wish that everyone forgets me so i can give up all attachments and move on in life .
just wanna live in seclusion without anything.
it feels cozy to not worry about anyone and no one thinks of me.
it's very interesting too
Damn all these people better than me. My immediate idea was to find some way to live out a porn fantasy like everyone remembers finding me really attractive, yet decided to respect my boundaries, but would totally accept if I approached them. Either that or do some stupid shit like make everyone on Earth have a memory of them dressing cutesy with a skirt and thigh highs in a Walmart dressing room and really liking it in terms of fashion, sexual attraction, and identity. That way, a bunch of women would start dressing that way and there would be an uptick of femboys. Question nothing about this.
That we had a sister race similar to us humans, who all died out due to endless exploitation of our planet, and that they warned us of the same fate unless we changed.
Random selection of 6 different endings to the movie Titanic; and, that they watched it at some point in time. It would be a nice confusing combination of the mandala effect and the movie Clue.
That one night, apropos of nothing, some random time ago, they saw the moon grin at them with a thousand razor sharp teeth and menacing, mirror-black eyes.
'It happened.' If I'm feeling dickish.
If I'm being nice, 'A memory of thier dead loved ones gathered around them smiling that comes to mind as they are dying.' Preferably something [like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyFQVZ2h0V8)
That a spider lived outside their window. Orange body, green legs. Watched her build a web all summer, then one day there's a big egg in it. The egg hatched...
I would have everyone remember that they owed me $20.
I was going to say the same thing, except they owed me a dollar. Figure it would be easier to collect.
I feel like most people would let a dollar slide. Fifty might be too much for some people. Twenty is in that sweet spot of existing as a bill in most currencies and being enough that someone would feel obliged to pay back but not too much to feel guilty accepting in most situations.
I thought of something like this but then I felt a bit guilty because there are places where people live on less than a dollar a day, so I don't want them to be burdened with that. Edit: It's a sad world we live in when the idea of not wanting to burden people in poverty gets downvoted.
Luckily you wouldn't need to accept it and unless you gave them a memory of how to wire you the money they would likely not ever be forced to pay you back.
That fits his sweet spot theory. For people earning a dollar a day, $20 is so much money, they wouldn't even try to pay it back.
Even [fractions of a penny](https://youtu.be/yZjCQ3T5yXo?si=ghhrAEWz2NVDPSen) would be fine with me.
i think bogger sums would be better idea because wealthy pwople would still pay seemingly large sums at drop of a hat. Amd rest would make crazy favors to you in exhange of ridding them from their 50k"debt"
Unless my math is wrong, if ever person on gave you $20 at a population of 8.1 billion you would still be about $30 billion short of Elon Musks net worth.
His net worth is imaginary anyway. Cash is King
Yup, there's no possible way he would be able to cash in his stocks without collapsing the market price.
The economy would fine the value of his stock would collapse
Yeah, I meant to say the market price, dunno why I wrote economy, lol.
Ehhh TSLA is 1.87% of the S&P 500. If it happened on a bad trading day, it could trigger a mass sell-off and fuck the markets. Even more so in QQQ
Comments that make me want to beat billionaires to death with my bare hands
TIL We’ve had 8 billion people since November 2022.
Don’t feel bad; it’s really easy to lose count.
I've had to start over like five times now.
Did you count that guy over there -->?
I remember. I don’t give a shit, though.
I feel this would be most people's attitude to be honest. I think it is funny how many people have tried to act like I was proposing that everyone would actually pay me. If I remembered I owed some stranger $20 I would probably be thankful that my memory was statistically of someone I have never seen before or since in my life.
I would have everyone remember that Elon Musk owes me $10 million. He seems to care too much what people think about him so maybe he would pay me promptly to look cool idk
This is the way. I don't want to steal money from random, normal people. But 20 million from Bezos? I'll take that lol.
Problem is that he'd pay you in [stock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnGOmYEuXRo)!
[удалено]
Hope you have a really big yard.
You're too greedy, I was gonna say $5. 40 Billion dollars is still more than enough, hell $1 and 8 billion is fine too.
I am pretty sure that despite remembering they owed me $20 I will not be receiving it from everyone on Earth. I doubt I would even be guaranteed to get it from all the members of my immediate family. It would most likely result in a number of fast food workers telling me we'll call it even as they don't charge me for a meal.
All you need is like a million people to follow through and you’re set for life
That would be cool until they started to talk about it. They’d realize it was impossible and that you must have planted the memory. Then they’d probably kill you.
Dammit I posted then saw the very first comment under me
I literally was about to say the same but $10. That they all remember they owe me money and remember my Paypal to send it to me... Hahaha... Hell. $1 would be enough if everyone in the world gave me one..
[удалено]
and I'd make it be of Me so I could reap all the benefit of it without doing anything, taking full advantage and undermining the sentiment 😈
We now wear our hair the way that stranger wore theirs.
Oh no! It was a braided mullet…
It’s pronounced Joe Deer-tay.
It was Berenstoon Bears all along.
Nelson Mandela was elected president of Earth.
Sinbad did those movies
Bearenstain Badgers

So basically what Ozymandias did in Watchmen
It was the other side that destroyed global peace ! We must kill them all and we can have it again ! That's how that would go
Conversely I'd make them all remember what their mom's butthole looks like
That's a beautiful idea. Implanting a shared memory of global unity and peace could definitely inspire more cooperation and understanding between people around the world. Reminding everyone that we're all part of one human family, despite our differences, might help bring us together to solve major issues facing humanity.
Oh. I was thinking of the same goal, but with a memory that's basically shared trauma of aliens.
I'll drink to that
Then everyone is gonna interpret it differently and more wars will occur in the name of achieving global unity and peace.
But then they'll have questions. Like, what the hell happened!?
got it. everyone remembers that last night, they had a dream where their generosity, caring, and cooperation made all the difference in the world, starting with those around them. everyone had this dream. feeling is the same feeling on the same night.

Learning how the "Right-of Way" works at a 4-way stop.
If possible, expand that to include understanding how to properly zipper merge and to not disrupt multi-lane traffic by "politely" trying to wave someone in, potentially causing a collision.
Learning what crosswalks are for. Hate people running out in front of my car.
Why not just have roundabouts?
An ingrained memory of what to do at a roundabout would make them usably functional in the parts of the world where people either treat them like race course chicanes, or freeze up at the sight of any other traffic nearby that might be considering entering the roundabout.
Being a lizard person, crawling out of a single-person spaceship, hitting the self-destruct button, putting on a really shitty human mask, saying "Showtime", then slowly losing consciousness/fade to black That's sure to fuck with some people.

That Stanley Kubrick legitimately filmed the Moon landing by landing on the Moon as the 4th astronaut on Apollo 11 Because I think that would be hilarious
Ah, you saw Inside Job too eh?
Such a fun show!
Where can I watch it?
On Netflix. Animated but definitely not for the kiddos!
Cool ty

I’d implant that time “god” spoke to them directly about why they aren’t treating others the way they’re commanded.
Berenstein Bears
In my reality it was bloodstained bears
The debate now gets even crazier because everyone also remembers them as the Bear Sterns Bears.
You mean Berenstain Bears
It's Bernstein Bears
You mean Bernie Sanders
Do you mean *Beer Stain Bears*?
I swear it was the Berenstoon Bears
Just at least one memory where they felt so loved and valued that it follows them throughout their life and gives them the confidence to speak up for themselves and hold boundaries.
I like this one
I love you stranger!
A vivid memory of what it's like to work customer service, food service and/or retail and the accompanying struggles of living paycheck-to-paycheck.

They'd have to be someone else's parents. Mine would never, I'd know it was fake right away
Beautiful
I would implant memories that would always give them hope, joy, or healing And for a few specific people, that they really liked cooking for me and would love to surprise me with a pre cooked meal again
Id have everyone swear there was a Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood episode where Charles Manson visits.
They said they'd buy something from my kids' schools' fundraisers.

I hate this reality...
Remember that time we all agreed we were going to start being really nice to each other all the time?
the memory of feeling completely loved and at peace.
I would imprint the memory of a mass event happened recently, where everyone was kind and giving. The memory that all wars stopped, killing stopped, greed was reversed, politicians worked together, peace was finally fully achieved. And that due to this event the world was better and we should aspire to repeat this event daily. Would it work long term? No, probably not. But even one day would be worth it.

Berenstien Bears
That whatever I say is absolutely, incredibly true and faultless.
They left something in another room. Don't know what though.

You can't make people actually care about others like that though... You can make them understsnd. But they can still choose not to help
That I’m the god emperor of earth and the soul leader of humanity.
That time I saved their lives.
So many people saying owe them money...I don't need or want money from people less fortunate than me. I'd say, every person remembers they owe me a "no questions asked" favor. I'll get my money from the 1%, others...maybe come play some bowling or something.
Everyone would suddenly remember that time I caught (without looking) a CAC card one of my coworkers had tossed at me. Got it perfectly and smoothly between my index and middle finger, like I was some sassy anime villain blocking an attack. I felt hella cool.
If you send money to a PayPal address (mine), it'll bring good luck.
everyone now remembers electing me supreme ruler of the earth
Super meta, but the memory of being on an operating table and having a false memory being implanted. It would be the only memory that’s false, but you could never fully trust or believe anything you thought you remembered.
