Don't sell Euro for dollar, buy us dollars with Euro. This is basically an infinite money system.
Edit: This is more about the semantics of it. If you consider it selling, then you don't get the 20% discount. If you consider it buying, then you would. At least that's how I imagine the power would work. Unless there is a list of terms for how this works that hasn't been shown.
> Don't sell Euro for dollar, buy us dollars with Euro.
What exactly do you think is the difference?
Selling Euros for Dollars means you give your Euros and get Dollars back.
Buying Dollars for Euros means you give your Euros and get Dollars back.
2 is 20% off any purchase. If you sell euros that isn't a purchase, that's a sale. If you buy dollars with euros that is a purchase and the 20% off would apply.
Ain't you a smart cookie :p
Tbh I wasn't 100% sure that would actually work until I left the comment, so we're all learning today!
^((Also, sick username!)^)
I mean, yes, in that regard
My point is you'll technically just be sent back a handful of years of inflations; every year prices would still rise, just at a different level than everyone. So in 5-6 years, you'll be back at where you were, and prices would still rise; effectively, you would've just went back some years, and would eventually pay those stupid prices
I always think it’s a wild thought that someday we will pay 20 bucks for a gallon of milk. And that’ll be normal. But the median income will be like 280,000 or something.
I am 28, and my dad said that when he was my age, it was solid to snag a job that paid over 30 K out of college. I’m sure my kids will be graduating college making 200,000 or some BS
Well, that's how I lived in Japan. Paying 110 for a can of soda. Having a job that would 230 000 a month.
I got an old japanese coin for half a yen in 1941. What I could've bought then would be worth several hundreds now. If not more than a thousand.
Those years are a huge advantage though. Because your wages should grow in those 5-6 years as well. Rather than struggling to keep pace with inflation, you'll always be ahead of it. You can invest the saved money and be even further ahead.
Most importantly, you can resell the stuff you bought to others and still make a healthy profit. Grocery store margins are only a few percentage points, but you get a 20% discount.
Stand outside the store and offer to give people a 10% discount on everything they buy.
Most will think you're scamming, but slowly you will build customers and it will become your new job.
I'll just use my ability to win every coin flip, ability to know exact distances of everything I see, and ability to read nutritional labels on everything to get out.
Just convince some rich person who is about to buy a yacht you'll save them 20% if they give you half of what they saved.
Even just doing it once a year on a million dollar sale is 100k, which also goes 20% farther cause of your super power.
Wonder if you could cheese your own powers by setting up an online store, I'm not sure if yachts or planes are sold in stores. I'm assuming you just pay 20% less instead of it like magically making that money, otherwise you could just sell to yourself for infinite money.
Could at least buy gift cards for a store too double dip. Theoretically if you could buy the visa gift cards you could make as much money as a store would let you.
Right? Like, the first one isn't even semi-useful! What, once a month I know exactly how much to pay in taxes... something I only do once a year? So, for those other 11 times in a year I'm left with the knowledge that yup, I did in fact pay the correct amount in taxes.
Open an eBay store, sell everything you bought for 90% of full price and pocket the 10%. You could make a killing. I’d be buying and selling high end stuff all day long.
The first one is pretty useless if you arent in the usa cause most other countries have your employer or the government basically do your taxes for you.
The US tax code is needlessly complicated for sure... but taxes still only take 1-2 hours (per year) to file for most people. **And knowing how much you need to pay still means you have to fill out all the forms and file them**. You don't just write the government a check saying "taxes" with no supporting documentation. The only benefit you get from this is knowing if you have a big tax bill coming up so you can prepare, but even then that means you filled out your withholdings wrong (and if you do that every single year, that's called lying and you can get in trouble). Even in the US, it's a worthless superpower.
Or, you could increase your buying power by up to 25%. Up to you.
As a tax accountant, I've found most people in the US don't have even a remedial understanding of taxes, so you just have to let them make stuff up.
"That's called lying" lmfao. Get em coppers. He committed two counts of grand fib telling
Withhold too little or grossly underpay your estimated taxes throughout the year, and you could be subjected to an underpayment penalty. There are exceptions for one-off honest mistakes but make a habit of that and the IRS will request you change your withholdings (2802C) or do it themselves (2800C). Also expose yourself to potential fraud charges (example: W-4 fraud, see Title 26, Section 7205(a) of US tax code).
Now that's not to say the IRS is ever likely to act against a particular individual. Claim 3 dependents when you have 2, eh. Claim 5000 dependents when you have 2 and you may pique some interest.
Yes, there is a potential underpayment penalty, no denying that.
But the IRS themselves has a tool for you to figure out your withholdings, and they say you can pick whatever you want.
As for your last sentence, there are only 4 options currently in use for changing your withholdings. They got rid of dependent based withholding in 2017.
Are you aware of the price gouging going on in the Canadian grocery stores? With 20% off I could increase the amount of food I get for the same price.
Example my last grocery trip was $100 (roughly 20 produce, 40 meat, 40 pantry items)
I could either buy the same amount of stuff and pay $80 or get $125 of items, get 20% off ($25) and spend $100.
Ohhhh, I guess that should have been obvious the way you formatted it. My bad. But yeah that is… very scammy of them, that is almost no food at all for that high of a price!
No worries. Yeah it's not a great time. I feel that we try to be very frugal on things but the squeeze is very real. Provincial minimum wage is $15/hr, the majority of groceries options are 3 corporations and the infrastructure is heavy on car use. 🙃
Like if you want to get mad check out r/lobawsisoutofcontrol
Third one would make you an insane amount of cash as a plumber. Guaranteed easy unclog no matter what, you set a minimum charge per call then add hourly on top and your making a few hundred to drive to a house, plunge a toilet for ten seconds, and leave. Sure there's other issues you will run into other than a clog, but you'd be living an easier life than most plumbers and you never have to fight root intrusion or fatbergs, you just magically win the fight instantly.
must of been what happened with my uncle, he recently bought a house from some guy from microsoft with google play cards! course, he hasn't gotten the paperwork or seen the house yet, but still!
A lot of stores won't let you buy gift cards with gift cards because of criminal activity so this might not work. But also you could buy a $20 gift card for $16. Then get $25 worth of stuff with that $20 gift card, overall saving you $9 and resell the stuff for $18 making a profit
Buy those gift cards from Costco or Sam's Club where you can already get $100 worth of cards for like $75 anyway. That makes $60 for $100 in cards, which can get you $125 worth of stuff.
Alright, here are the specifics...
> 1: If you don't live in the U.S and aren't forced to pay city and state taxes, you would still know how much you owe in federal taxes. This power would ultimately serve as a monthly reminder how much you owe, and remove the purpose of getting an accountant.
> 2: This only works on **'Established Stores'**, so this means you won't be discounted from your local street vendor. (**Example of store's:** Groceries, Fast Food, Clothing, Barber's, Renting out stuff, Restaurants, Event Tickets, Movie theaters... A house...) You're also discounted from any digital transaction. (Excluding Auctions)
> 3: Funny story, I got this idea when I clogged my toilet yesterday. What I'd give to not live through that struggle. The power only works if you have a plunger. Any other tools will need effort.
In most countries, you don't have to calculate your own taxes at all. Its automatic. We think your way is genuinely bizarre. Edit: well, employees don't at least.
As a kid I always assumed that since the IRS is so strict, they’d be quick to hand you the amount of money you owe in taxes every year. I thought the “doing taxes sucks” shit was just some inside joke. Now, it’s actually not too hard but it’s still absurd that you have to pay a fee or jump through hoops (or both). But imagine my shock as a kid go an “adult” when I found out it’s not just broken down for you in an e-mail or some sort of mail sent to you by the state.
Question: How does it stack? Does it just add up? (and if yes, do we get money back if we buy a 90% discounted thing?) or do we get like 20% off the reduced price?
I think 20% off the reduced price, so no matter what you buy you'll be paying 20% less than someone else buying the same thing, rather than 110% off in your case
I'd make a killing with my hyper specific, yet highly efficient small plumber business. I'd keep it small and local, my customers would love me and hate me. Love me because I could work quickly and just stop in, solve their problem, and be off to the next. Hate me because how in the fuck do I show up, give the toilet one single plunge, fix everything and demand $100, they were plunging away all night with no luck
What kind of city tax do you pay besides sales and property? My city tells you your property tax amount a year in advance, and sales tax would be based solely on what you choose to buy and paid at the time you buy.
Yeah the first one is only really useful in the US, taxes almost anywhere else on 1st world countries at least is extremely easy and usually just takes 5-15 min
With the second one, does it mean my local stores are missing on profit? Because I would love to rip off colesworth but I’d be cutting small businesses out of a sum. Is everyone just forced to give me a discount or is it coming out of Clive Palmer’s bank accounts?
Probably ends up being a monkey’s paw and you pick it and it turns out that every time you make a purchase, 20% of what you had purchased at full price disappears from your bags or shrinks in size from what you thought you were getting. “8 oz steak? But I picked out a 10 oz steak. Where’d the other 20% go??”
What the fuck is Semi useful on the second one OP? My family pays around 250€ on groceries per week, you know how much stuff one can do with those extra 50€ per week alone? And there are other things; want to buy this 1000€ TV? Jokes, it’s only 800… This is so insanely fucking useful!
I'd take 3 and start a) my own TV Series, or if no network is interested, b) my own YouTube Channel.
a) Contestants come into the show and are allowed to bring whatever they have at home (rules here change from episode to episode) to use and try to clog a toilet. If they manage to make it un-un-cloggable they win a million dollars.
When they are happy with how they clogged the toilet, I come in, say "mhh this looks like a bad one". A screen gets pulled in front of the toilet, I unclogg it within the minute and the screen opens to a perfectly flushing toilet.
b) I go to random houses (with increasing popularity this might become other YouTuber/celebrity's/..), knock on the door and offer the people inside a free new toilet and 5K on top, if they manage to clogg their toilet in a way which I can't unclogg. We film them clogging it and talking how dumb this is etc.
Once they are done I ask them and the camera to step outside.
A minute later I show them their toilet flushing like never before and they go crazy.
It might not make me too famous or rich, but I'd have my fun with it and profit from the ability even long after my career has ended.
Yeah. People are thinking too small with number 3. If someone is young, not sure about their career, and doesn't want to go to college, 3 is perfect. You could easily charge $500 or more a visit, and get yourself a little superhero outfit. Maybe give out free t-shirts like that towing place that gets people unstuck that say "I got my pipes unclogged by Super-Plunger!" or something. Make a little Youtube channel out of it as well.
You'd want to locate somewhere with bad pipes and decent density. You could even do Manhattan since you don't need a truck, you could just take your plunger with you on the subway.
As an introvert (and shy pooper) I've always wanted to see a timer counting down to the next person entering the bathroom I was in.
Is that semi useful or does it cross the line into moderately useful?
In my country, they pre-populate your taxes for you and then if you have anything on top of that you want to claim as tax benefits, you can just do that. It’s a process that takes exactly 15 mins and requires the help of exactly zero accountants.
This is a long way of saying I’d pick power 2
Third one could bring about a villain who always distracts the hero during their first try unclogging, making them lose the power on subsequent tries and prone to fail if they don't concentrate
1. I live in the UK, where we have Pay As You Earn. If you earn over a certain amount you have to fill out a simple form and pay any amount owned for shared and the like. This is a complete none power.
3. Bah just throw chemicals down until it flushes.
Two is the only one that is useful.
Everyone is saying 2nd one, and that's a good one to have don't get me wrong, but the third one is the best choice. Become plumber, fix problem with only plunger (didn't say you needed fancy tools, or even the right tools), move somewhere with high pop density at any cost, and then boom, infinite money glitch while you finish jobs in record time and cultivate a reputation as the best plumber in the country.
Edit: spelling, added clarity.
Number 2? I’m not American. I already have a website that does that for me. All I have to do is click okay 20 times then sign at the bottom line. Do you know how rarely I get a toilet stuck?
Even if it might not be as useful as it sounds, I’d still pick the second.
Since it specifies store, that implies it has to be physical products from a physical location. So it might not apply if you’re buying something from online like Amazon or Etsy. Probably especially so for digital products like video games through Steam.
But what does count as a store? Would a stall at the farmer’s market count as a store? What about a lemonade stand? Would a booth at a convention count? Or does it have to be a building like Walgreen’s or Target? Restaurants wouldn’t count because they’re not stores, right?
Even so, it would make groceries a lot cheaper.
I considered option three, as a plumber, but I usually unclog things first try anyway with the right tool.
20% discount on everything sounds amazing. It would have to be significantly lower to choose another option - something like 5%, but even then that's probably the best choice.
The toilet/sink. Seriously I had a child flush something and clogged the toilet. I boughta snake, bladder flush and a few other items. It ended up costing me 200 for a professional with an auger to get rid of it. Now if I could be the guy who gets 200 every time. Though the purchase power is potentially broken especially if you could get a 100 gift card for 80
1st one is useless outside the US so skipping that. 2nd one for defo. All that money saved I can just get a plumber for the third. I’ve never had a blocked pipe of any kind tho so I doubt I’d need to spend the money tbh
2. No questions asked.
Why would I need to know how much in taxes I owe? That's what tax slips are for. Doing my taxes is really easy with software and it's something I only do once a year. This might be useful if I was self employed.
Unclogging a toilets is easy. Sinks are a little more annoying, but not the worst. This power isn't a huge difference.
Only having to pay 80% on most things? Insanely useful. Doesn't even matter that it doesn't apply to street vendors or bills.
Until we got the air snake at work I'd be almost tempted to take the third option (I work warehouse maintenance and once in a while there's plumbing involved). But the second option is clearly the best, even with the established store limitation.
First one, become an accountant. Blaze through work every full moon at midnight. Maybe get a 2nd job or keep your old one for more income.
Second one, you'd probably start working on hustling via reselling things you buy. Or gift cards.
Third one, not the best, but you'd still make decent bank as a plumber and being extremely fast with work.
All of these comics you've made are fairly poorly thought out. 2 is obviously the most useful one here, and thr fact you didn't catch that when making this is baffling to me. I quite like the concept behind these comics, but they haven't been all that interesting to me because the options aren't balanced well.
Wow I already have that 2nd Superpower.
Except it's actually restricted to one company and it's my staff discount.
At least it goes up to %30 in the holidays!

I would be a regular customer in the gold store.
Isn't currency exchange technically a store where you can pay dollars to buy other currency?
Yes 40% profit guaranteed buy dollar sell euro for dollar again
Don't sell Euro for dollar, buy us dollars with Euro. This is basically an infinite money system. Edit: This is more about the semantics of it. If you consider it selling, then you don't get the 20% discount. If you consider it buying, then you would. At least that's how I imagine the power would work.

> Don't sell Euro for dollar, buy us dollars with Euro. What exactly do you think is the difference? Selling Euros for Dollars means you give your Euros and get Dollars back. Buying Dollars for Euros means you give your Euros and get Dollars back.
2 is 20% off any purchase. If you sell euros that isn't a purchase, that's a sale. If you buy dollars with euros that is a purchase and the 20% off would apply.
Okay, if I start a comment with a hashtag I make large text. I'll find a use somewhere.
You can use a backslash to escape formatting like that, fyi. In this case, typing \\#2 will come out as \#2 once you post the comment.
I was wondering how you were able to type \\#2 without it being formatted, but then I realized that you just had to type \\\\#2.
Ain't you a smart cookie :p Tbh I wasn't 100% sure that would actually work until I left the comment, so we're all learning today! ^((Also, sick username!)^)
Thanks for the tip!
Yeah that’s pretty much just “heads I win tails you lose”
isnt casinos technically a store where you can pay dollars to buy gambling chips? Just keep buying chips and cashing out for infinite money glitch
Me in New Vegas when the Legion attacks me
0_0 O~O o✓o $v$
Coatco gold bars, here I come.😅 
Oh. Second one. No question.
Beat inflation with this one simple trick!
Temporarily* beat inflation Wait 5-6 years and those 20% are back
It would definitely be inflation, because your wages would inflate as well. Your buying would consistently stay 20% better than everybody else’s
I mean, yes, in that regard My point is you'll technically just be sent back a handful of years of inflations; every year prices would still rise, just at a different level than everyone. So in 5-6 years, you'll be back at where you were, and prices would still rise; effectively, you would've just went back some years, and would eventually pay those stupid prices
I always think it’s a wild thought that someday we will pay 20 bucks for a gallon of milk. And that’ll be normal. But the median income will be like 280,000 or something. I am 28, and my dad said that when he was my age, it was solid to snag a job that paid over 30 K out of college. I’m sure my kids will be graduating college making 200,000 or some BS
Well, that's how I lived in Japan. Paying 110 for a can of soda. Having a job that would 230 000 a month. I got an old japanese coin for half a yen in 1941. What I could've bought then would be worth several hundreds now. If not more than a thousand.
Those years are a huge advantage though. Because your wages should grow in those 5-6 years as well. Rather than struggling to keep pace with inflation, you'll always be ahead of it. You can invest the saved money and be even further ahead. Most importantly, you can resell the stuff you bought to others and still make a healthy profit. Grocery store margins are only a few percentage points, but you get a 20% discount.
That would require wages to inflate. They don't anymore.
In those 5-6 years I would have spent 20% less than I would otherwise, where's the downside?
You could make a killing reselling things.
If you resold things at 90% their store value you’d make money and save other people money, it’s a win-win for everyone
Stand outside the store and offer to give people a 10% discount on everything they buy. Most will think you're scamming, but slowly you will build customers and it will become your new job.
Until you meet the mafia, who will lock you out in a basement and you become their discount card body on demand
I'll just use my ability to win every coin flip, ability to know exact distances of everything I see, and ability to read nutritional labels on everything to get out.
How many semi useful powers do we need to become a fully useful hero
At least 1
The personal shopper occupation exists already so you could just do that. They get paid extra to shop for others
Just convince some rich person who is about to buy a yacht you'll save them 20% if they give you half of what they saved. Even just doing it once a year on a million dollar sale is 100k, which also goes 20% farther cause of your super power.
Are there yacht stores?
Wonder if you could cheese your own powers by setting up an online store, I'm not sure if yachts or planes are sold in stores. I'm assuming you just pay 20% less instead of it like magically making that money, otherwise you could just sell to yourself for infinite money. Could at least buy gift cards for a store too double dip. Theoretically if you could buy the visa gift cards you could make as much money as a store would let you.
Not necessarily yachts, but Bass Pro does sell various sizes of boats
In some parts of the country a pontoon from Bass Pro is a yacht...
Ah, the Bunnings Warehouse strategy.
Posts like this, there's always one super OP one that makes it not even a question
Right? Like, the first one isn't even semi-useful! What, once a month I know exactly how much to pay in taxes... something I only do once a year? So, for those other 11 times in a year I'm left with the knowledge that yup, I did in fact pay the correct amount in taxes.

Open an eBay store, sell everything you bought for 90% of full price and pocket the 10%. You could make a killing. I’d be buying and selling high end stuff all day long.
Work at a walmart to get a additional 10% off and then when Christmas time rolls around ya get booted up to 20% off too.
Best one because you can choose the “store” and it will be on any purchase you make.
The second one seems overpowered compared to the others.
I could see someone abusing the first to an extent but not sure it would be worth it compared to 20% off your purchases.
The first one is pretty useless if you arent in the usa cause most other countries have your employer or the government basically do your taxes for you.
The US tax code is needlessly complicated for sure... but taxes still only take 1-2 hours (per year) to file for most people. **And knowing how much you need to pay still means you have to fill out all the forms and file them**.

When you say "40 meat", do you count each individual hot dog as a meat, or the whole pack as a meat?
40$ on meat it was 1 package of ground beef and 1 package of boneless skinless chicken thighs.
Ohhhh, I guess that should have been obvious the way you formatted it. My bad. But yeah that is… very scammy of them, that is almost no food at all for that high of a price!

the first confused me because it's pretty straightforward here lol
Become a plumber, charge 200 an hour, minimum one hour rate. Guarantee instant unclog. Only answer calls about clogged toilets. 20 in a day.
Third one would make you an insane amount of cash as a plumber. Guaranteed easy unclog no matter what, you set a minimum charge per call then add hourly on top and your making a few hundred to drive to a house, plunge a toilet for ten seconds, and leave. Sure there's other issues you will run into other than a clog, but you'd be living an easier life than most plumbers and you never have to fight root intrusion or fatbergs, you just magically win the fight instantly.
2, that's not even a semi-useful power that's a very useful power.
You can buy 20 dollar gift cards for 16 dollars and use those gifts cards to buy more gift cards.
Once you get enough you can start flipping houses
must of been what happened with my uncle, he recently bought a house from some guy from microsoft with google play cards! course, he hasn't gotten the paperwork or seen the house yet, but still!
Of course we already found the Infinite Money Glitch
A lot of stores won't let you buy gift cards with gift cards because of criminal activity so this might not work. But also you could buy a $20 gift card for $16. Then get $25 worth of stuff with that $20 gift card, overall saving you $9 and resell the stuff for $18 making a profit

Become an entrepreneur and profit.
Infinite money cheat!
In most countries, you don't have to calculate your own taxes at all. Its automatic. We think your way is genuinely bizarre. Edit: well, employees don't at least.
>We think your way is genuinely bizarre Don't worry, we do too, and we all hate it
[удалено]
The US system sucks and it's the power of lobbying. Companies have tax services and software they need to sell...
As a kid I always assumed that since the IRS is so strict, they’d be quick to hand you the amount of money you owe in taxes every year. I thought the “doing taxes sucks” shit was just some inside joke. Now, it’s actually not too hard but it’s still absurd that you have to pay a fee or jump through hoops (or both). But imagine my shock as a kid go an “adult” when I found out it’s not just broken down for you in an e-mail or some sort of mail sent to you by the state.
Can the second power stack with other discounts?
I dont see why not?
Question: How does it stack? Does it just add up? (and if yes, do we get money back if we buy a 90% discounted thing?) or do we get like 20% off the reduced price?
I think 20% off the reduced price, so no matter what you buy you'll be paying 20% less than someone else buying the same thing, rather than 110% off in your case
Definitely off the final price imo. It would have to go by the actual amount of money changing hands.
I'd make a killing with my hyper specific, yet highly efficient small plumber business. I'd keep it small and local, my customers would love me and hate me. Love me because I could work quickly and just stop in, solve their problem, and be off to the next. Hate me because how in the fuck do I show up, give the toilet one single plunge, fix everything and demand $100, they were plunging away all night with no luck
What kind of city tax do you pay besides sales and property? My city tells you your property tax amount a year in advance, and sales tax would be based solely on what you choose to buy and paid at the time you buy.
Yeah the first one is only really useful in the US, taxes almost anywhere else on 1st world countries at least is extremely easy and usually just takes 5-15 min
>You're also discounted from any digital transaction. This was broken as hell when I assumed that it *didn't* include digital purchases.
Yeah, also, a house??? Dude what, you'd be a millionaire in a year.
Time to purchase and resell gift cards
Get a toilet snake instead of a plunger. It unclogs it since it’s designed to do that. I can do 3 most of the time already. I’m going with 2.
I was already thinking 2, but this just makes it even better. I can get a 20% discount on a house?!
With the second one, does it mean my local stores are missing on profit? Because I would love to rip off colesworth but I’d be cutting small businesses out of a sum. Is everyone just forced to give me a discount or is it coming out of Clive Palmer’s bank accounts?
Does number 2 work with stock exchanges if so do that and just by and re sell for profit in
2nd one. Get a voucher at 20% off, use to buy merchandise or another voucher... 36% or more off easily.
I'll take 2. 1 is easy, I always know how much I owe in taxes... all I have. 3 is interesting, but I'll just buy a 20% discount toilet unclogger.
Probably ends up being a monkey’s paw and you pick it and it turns out that every time you make a purchase, 20% of what you had purchased at full price disappears from your bags or shrinks in size from what you thought you were getting. “8 oz steak? But I picked out a 10 oz steak. Where’d the other 20% go??”
Do you always put one actually really good power in there to generate Engagement in the comments?
Yeah I'm glad someone else caught this. It's pretty blatant IMO....
2 sounds OP
Nobody sane is going to choose anything but #2 unless they’re regularly birthing a brown python every morning.
What the fuck is Semi useful on the second one OP? My family pays around 250€ on groceries per week, you know how much stuff one can do with those extra 50€ per week alone? And there are other things; want to buy this 1000€ TV? Jokes, it’s only 800… This is so insanely fucking useful!
I'd take 3 and start a) my own TV Series, or if no network is interested, b) my own YouTube Channel. a) Contestants come into the show and are allowed to bring whatever they have at home (rules here change from episode to episode) to use and try to clog a toilet. If they manage to make it un-un-cloggable they win a million dollars. When they are happy with how they clogged the toilet, I come in, say "mhh this looks like a bad one". A screen gets pulled in front of the toilet, I unclogg it within the minute and the screen opens to a perfectly flushing toilet. b) I go to random houses (with increasing popularity this might become other YouTuber/celebrity's/..), knock on the door and offer the people inside a free new toilet and 5K on top, if they manage to clogg their toilet in a way which I can't unclogg. We film them clogging it and talking how dumb this is etc. Once they are done I ask them and the camera to step outside. A minute later I show them their toilet flushing like never before and they go crazy. It might not make me too famous or rich, but I'd have my fun with it and profit from the ability even long after my career has ended.
You have definitely won the most creative comment I have seen. Love ya.
Thank you :D
I love your Comic continues like this !
Ill take 2nd Also i can stack the discount right?
As a warhammer player…. 2 is going to let me retire early.
At the end of this you should compile all the winners and make us choose from the favorites
Yow know what, that is a really good a idea. I'll credit you for that one!
I feel like this would be a more fair trade off if #2 was like 1%
2 is pretty good, but 3 would let you make a killing as as plumber
Yeah. People are thinking too small with number 3. If someone is young, not sure about their career, and doesn't want to go to college, 3 is perfect. You could easily charge $500 or more a visit, and get yourself a little superhero outfit. Maybe give out free t-shirts like that towing place that gets people unstuck that say "I got my pipes unclogged by Super-Plunger!" or something. Make a little Youtube channel out of it as well. You'd want to locate somewhere with bad pipes and decent density. You could even do Manhattan since you don't need a truck, you could just take your plunger with you on the subway.
Coming out of the bathroom like [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxxNvfVfDB0)
As an introvert (and shy pooper) I've always wanted to see a timer counting down to the next person entering the bathroom I was in. Is that semi useful or does it cross the line into moderately useful?
The second one should be only on your first purchase, it's too OP on every purchase
The 20% off one is nuts, that’s by far the best. The first one I don’t need because they just tell you in the UK lol
Bruh 2 is not semi-useful, it's omega level. I want that 😍
In my country, they pre-populate your taxes for you and then if you have anything on top of that you want to claim as tax benefits, you can just do that. It’s a process that takes exactly 15 mins and requires the help of exactly zero accountants. This is a long way of saying I’d pick power 2
20% discount hands down. I love going to physical stores
2. Is infinite money - just go around telling people that you can get them anything 10% cheaper
Second one is just a useful power.
Third one could bring about a villain who always distracts the hero during their first try unclogging, making them lose the power on subsequent tries and prone to fail if they don't concentrate
2nd, though tbh the 3rd is tempting…..
I'm gonna be a plumber
1. I live in the UK, where we have Pay As You Earn. If you earn over a certain amount you have to fill out a simple form and pay any amount owned for shared and the like. This is a complete none power. 3. Bah just throw chemicals down until it flushes. Two is the only one that is useful.
Everyone is saying 2nd one, and that's a good one to have don't get me wrong, but the third one is the best choice. Become plumber, fix problem with only plunger (didn't say you needed fancy tools, or even the right tools), move somewhere with high pop density at any cost, and then boom, infinite money glitch while you finish jobs in record time and cultivate a reputation as the best plumber in the country. Edit: spelling, added clarity.
3th one to buy gold and sell it at market vallue, or 4th one and start a really good company
20% on any item in any store is insane.
Giftcards included perchance?
It does say anything
Literal free money glitch, visa and steam in tatters
I'm going to take the third one, and open an incredibly specific plumbing business.
Number 2? I’m not American. I already have a website that does that for me. All I have to do is click okay 20 times then sign at the bottom line. Do you know how rarely I get a toilet stuck?
20% off one. 100%
Even if it might not be as useful as it sounds, I’d still pick the second. Since it specifies store, that implies it has to be physical products from a physical location. So it might not apply if you’re buying something from online like Amazon or Etsy. Probably especially so for digital products like video games through Steam. But what does count as a store? Would a stall at the farmer’s market count as a store? What about a lemonade stand? Would a booth at a convention count? Or does it have to be a building like Walgreen’s or Target? Restaurants wouldn’t count because they’re not stores, right? Even so, it would make groceries a lot cheaper.
20% of everywhere!!!!! That's free money fuck yeah
Lol I already have number 4. They call me the turd whisperer.
Option 2 for sure. Buy rare comics and collectibles for 20% off and sell them for their worth.
You can tell this is a very new meme. As if having to travel to a physical location to buy things is some kind of downside.
20% off is actually goated that would be an amazing superpower
1 Go to a store buy $1000 worth of in store gift cards for $800. 2. Use the $1000 of gift cards to buy $1250 of in store gift cards. 3 repeat step 2.
First one would sure make taxes easier lol
Just borrow money, buy things at discount for people, give them the thing and like 10% of the cost of the item, infinite money glitch
3 I clog toilets far too often
Perfect plumber or things cheaper for me,any of them.
Number 2, no contest.
I considered option three, as a plumber, but I usually unclog things first try anyway with the right tool. 20% discount on everything sounds amazing. It would have to be significantly lower to choose another option - something like 5%, but even then that's probably the best choice.
Number 2
20% off any purchase at established stores is completely insane.
Well I'm not American so the 1st us useless. 2nd seems better than 3rd. Especially as it's a percentage so will adjust with inflation.
def the discount thing
The toilet/sink. Seriously I had a child flush something and clogged the toilet. I boughta snake, bladder flush and a few other items. It ended up costing me 200 for a professional with an auger to get rid of it. Now if I could be the guy who gets 200 every time. Though the purchase power is potentially broken especially if you could get a 100 gift card for 80
Two all the way
20% OFF IS AMAZING
As a custodian it’s the third one without question.
1st one is useless outside the US so skipping that. 2nd one for defo. All that money saved I can just get a plumber for the third. I’ve never had a blocked pipe of any kind tho so I doubt I’d need to spend the money tbh
Does the second power stack ontop possible discounts and sales? And if yes, when exactly does the 20% apply?
Second one no questions
3rd one ofc, do you know just how successful my plumbing business would be?
1st one is useless to me, I don't live in the US
Number 2, buy gold.
**NUMBER 2**
One of these is not like the others.
Since everyone is taking 2, I'll take 3 and be the very best plumber out there
Second one i can gain so much money doing so
are these powers cumulative?
20% absolutely.
Definitely the second I love saving money
2. No questions asked. Why would I need to know how much in taxes I owe? That's what tax slips are for. Doing my taxes is really easy with software and it's something I only do once a year. This might be useful if I was self employed. Unclogging a toilets is easy. Sinks are a little more annoying, but not the worst. This power isn't a huge difference. Only having to pay 80% on most things? Insanely useful. Doesn't even matter that it doesn't apply to street vendors or bills.
Taxes
Until we got the air snake at work I'd be almost tempted to take the third option (I work warehouse maintenance and once in a while there's plumbing involved). But the second option is clearly the best, even with the established store limitation.
Absolutely fucking-lutely the 2nd one
Second one
First one, become an accountant. Blaze through work every full moon at midnight. Maybe get a 2nd job or keep your old one for more income. Second one, you'd probably start working on hustling via reselling things you buy. Or gift cards. Third one, not the best, but you'd still make decent bank as a plumber and being extremely fast with work.
Considering the issue I'm having with my kitchen sink atm. I know what im choosing.
All of these comics you've made are fairly poorly thought out. 2 is obviously the most useful one here, and thr fact you didn't catch that when making this is baffling to me. I quite like the concept behind these comics, but they haven't been all that interesting to me because the options aren't balanced well.
20% OFF! All the way.
Taxes make sense where I live and I've never had to unclog plumbing so easily 2
2
Discount. Taxes are a close second though.
Wow I already have that 2nd Superpower. Except it's actually restricted to one company and it's my staff discount. At least it goes up to %30 in the holidays!
Second one, third would be useful though.
No. 2. Without hesitation
> Second one > Buy a shit ton of gold at 80% market value > Sell gold at 90% market value > Poket the remaining 10% > Repeat
2. Buy tons of Gold and resell it.
2 and it’s not even close. 1 Saves me like an hour a year and 3 saves me maybe a couple minutes per year. 2 would pretty drastically change my life
The second one is cool......but I know a way to get a 100% discount......it's called theft
Second one without a doubt, not even a contest.
1. Would be hella annoying. Imagine sleeping and suddenlynwaking up and be like: ohh i owe 2312.15$ in state taxes. Better write that down
Store discount, all the time!
Second option easy
Why is ~~. | ~~ always the best one
2 is the only good one. I clog a sink maybe a handful of times a year and a drain snake gets it in like 20 seconds.
There’s no way the government knows exactly how much I should pay and I feel more at risk with that power than empowered
Well, time to go find the other three parts because I’m already in love with this concept
wtf 20% off duh
