I have OP magic. I can reverse time and take my money back from your future. There is no escape from OP Magic Lemmings.

You have 1 year. What do you do with this small sum of money?

    Am I reading this right or is everyone else in the thread reading it wrong? It seems to me what you’re saying is that you go back in time and take it away after the fact like we never had it. So all these answers about buying stocks or bonds or everything are pointless. Objectively the answer is to have as much fucking fun as you can cuz it’s going to be taken away with timey wimey stuff before it ever happened. Am I right?

    Since you will change the past and reverse the changes due to me having no intention to give the money back, i will try to create as much chaos as possible with the money

    What would be the consequence if I was physically not able to return the money? Depending on that I will probably invest differently. I would probably be dumb and just ignore the money cause I thought it was a scam or something though.

    How are you delivering it? That’s a lot of pennies.

    I’m asking the wrong question, does it have to be the same 1 million dollars you gave me? Can it be something which is valued (by you) at 1 million dollars?

    How does inflation effect this? A million dollars today might not be worth a million dollars in a year.

    If I buried a million dollars worth pennies in my backyard, well actually, I probably wouldn’t be done digging the hole after a year. Also, I don’t actually have a backyard. If I did have a yard and it already had a large pit dug, which could contain a million bucks worth of pennies, after a year would I need to haul them out for you or does your OP magic also allow for easy transportation?

    Is your OP magic for sale? Must be less than 1 million dollars or I can’t afford it.

    Use 500k to get my foot in the door at one of the 0% tax havens (they often require >=500k investment to get a legal entity representation). Use the other 500k + my savings to rake in the expended 500k at 0% tax via investments. Pay you back on time and be left with a 0% tax haven foothold that’ll make me +20-30% on anything I’ll invest in the future, compared to what I’d gain on investments right now due to taxation in my country.

    I’m curious how you can take it back if I no longer have it. Say I spend it on activities and services, how can you recover it? Physical goods, you might be able to take those.
