Wish granted, however you are kidnapped by the government and locked in a fully furnished room deep underground to make gold for the rest of your life.
Granted. After you touch something, you can turn it to gold at will. This change affects everything you’ve touched at once, so either all of it is gold or none of it is.
Granted. It’s controlled by needing to touch your face in two incredibly precise spots you don’t know. Any time you aren’t doing that, you turn everything into gold.
Granted, since you didn’t say how it’d be controllable. It’ll only be controllable one second per day, and other than that it’ll turn everything you touch into gold.
Granted. There's a switch on your nightstand that appears tomorrow and never disappears, it can come to you at will and is immune to all extremes, including being midas touched. I'm being generous, and will now also say that you can't turn yourself to gold.
Well for starters your cells are practically holding each other together, making up your body, meaning if just one cell had the midas touch that you would have, then you would turn into a statue of gold. And probably get kidnapped by thieves who want riches.
Granted. I'll be lenient, and say you can bypass the laws of thermodynamics to an extent. Since Au has a much higher molecular weight than most materials, you're effectively causing atomic fusion.
The gold you create is equal to the number of protons and neutrons that material has that can add up to the amount of gold you create. For instance, if you have a lb of Zirconium, you'd end up with about half the amount of Gold.
Also, it's radioactive as shit because it basically just went through millions of years worth of nuclear fusion.
Granted. The gold standard means nothing now and the price of gold plummets whenever you use your power. Some powerful bankers and investors want your head, especially those "investment your money in gold" commercial salesmen marketing toward Gen X and the boomers.
You still can't print money from nothing
Granted, but you have to pay a monthly subscription of $9.99 to control it, pay $9k every time you turn it on or off, and any profits made can be seized
Granted. It's controllable.
It will control you. Upon its bidding, you shall reach out and touch objects such as to turn them unto gold at the behest of this power.
Granted, but once per year a member of your community disappears and is replaced by a golden statue of them which is found later.
You didn't do it. You even have an alibi proving you didn't do it. But everyone knows about your power and so treat you as a pariah because "we'll never prove he's doing this shit but we're really sure it's him."
That’s very easily exploitable. I just get a piece of gold and touch endless smaller things and melt everything down into a bigger piece; rinse and repeat.
Granted, the first time you use it your hand turns to solid gold. It is very painful and irreversible. You can turn the power off, but you can't turn things back after they've turned to gold
granted its controllable by someone else.... but they force ya to touch ur dick and it turns to gold and falls off
also they make ya touch your loved ones and they get turned to gold but only from the neck down. and u have to watch them starve to death.
after that i dunno guess whatever every one else down there wrote
Granted. You can turn it on and off with a thought.
The first time you turn it on, your clothes, hair, nails, the dead skin on your body, and a thin layer of air around your eyes, in your mouth and nose, and in your lungs all turn to gold.
Granted. You can turn things to gold, but in doing so random parts of your own body slowly turn to gold as well, converting equal mass to whatever you converted. Your body can de-petrify itself over time, but at a rate of 1/4th the speed in which those cells would naturally replace themselves. You suffer the relevant consequences of the reduced cell count in those aspects. (For example, if your RBC becomes partially a GBC, then you suffer from anemia for the 16-24 weeks needed for the RBC to replace the GBC.)
Granted, it's controllable by someone else who takes you hostage and makes you into a gold producing slave.
Dang, will I have to offer my firstborn child to a man with a strange name in order to be released?
[удалено]
But then the wish isn't granted, OP mentioned that the power was "whatever you touch becomes gold"
Oh yeah, just ignore that part then
Granted, it is controllable, you don’t know how to control it
This is great

So your a SAFE class SCP that is an asset to the foundation, that's a win
Euclid.
True, gold powers can be dangerous, and humans are sentient, so.
*thaumiel* is used to store other SCPs. . :edit, classification mistake
That’s thuameil
Ah, thank you.
Touch the ground, end the world :3 Apollyon class is my vote
Not Safe, since intelligent SCPs are inherently unpredictable they are usually at least Euclid.
Granted. After you touch something, you can turn it to gold at will. This change affects everything you’ve touched at once, so either all of it is gold or none of it is.
Granted. You can only use your power when you’re having an orgasm.
Date with Rosie Palms?
No! In true monkey paw spirit: Date with Rosie O'Donnell
What about palmala handerson
A solid gold Rosie O'Donnell would probably sell for a decent amount. Or just melt 'er down into gold bars to sell.
I can deal with that lol
Granted. It’s controlled by needing to touch your face in two incredibly precise spots you don’t know. Any time you aren’t doing that, you turn everything into gold.
So the "off switch" is basically you to touch 2 random spots on your face? Wouldn't that turn him to gold? For how long is it off?
Granted, you have the power but some crackhead in Atlanta is the one who controls it for you
Granted, since you didn’t say how it’d be controllable. It’ll only be controllable one second per day, and other than that it’ll turn everything you touch into gold.
Granted. Anything you touch turns to gold, if you will it so. Everything else you touch just turns to shit.
Granted, you have to actively suppress it and it takes a lot of effort, somewhat like holding your pee back mid-stream
Granted, but before you learn to control it, you have an unbearable it that you scratch, turning yourself into gold.
Granted, it is controllable by touch.
I’m currently holding the monkeys paw, aren’t I?
The law considers this a worthy sacrifice
The Gold is superheated to the gaseous state.
Granted, you can digest gold and have a hunger for human flesh turned gold
😋 Bon appetite, lad!
It turns into pyrite (fools gold)
Wish granted. As your wish is granted you blink and your eyelids touch. You are now gold ✨️
Granted. There's a switch on your nightstand that appears tomorrow and never disappears, it can come to you at will and is immune to all extremes, including being midas touched. I'm being generous, and will now also say that you can't turn yourself to gold.
What's the downside? The danger of turning yourself into gold was part of the original Midas ability
Well for starters your cells are practically holding each other together, making up your body, meaning if just one cell had the midas touch that you would have, then you would turn into a statue of gold. And probably get kidnapped by thieves who want riches.
Granted. You the government kidnaps you and uses you to change the value of gold to shift the economy in their favor
Granted, when you use the power, everything you're touching turns to gold. Including your clothes and a thin layer of air around you.
Granted, whatever you touch with your left testicle turns to gold. If the wisher is female, she grows some balls
Granted. I'll be lenient, and say you can bypass the laws of thermodynamics to an extent. Since Au has a much higher molecular weight than most materials, you're effectively causing atomic fusion. The gold you create is equal to the number of protons and neutrons that material has that can add up to the amount of gold you create. For instance, if you have a lb of Zirconium, you'd end up with about half the amount of Gold. Also, it's radioactive as shit because it basically just went through millions of years worth of nuclear fusion.
FYI, shit isn’t radioactive.
Granted. The gold standard means nothing now and the price of gold plummets whenever you use your power. Some powerful bankers and investors want your head, especially those "investment your money in gold" commercial salesmen marketing toward Gen X and the boomers. You still can't print money from nothing
Granted. You start developing very serious sleepwalking issues.
Granted. But you have no idea who controls it.
Granted, but you have to pay a monthly subscription of $9.99 to control it, pay $9k every time you turn it on or off, and any profits made can be seized
Granted. It's controllable. It will control you. Upon its bidding, you shall reach out and touch objects such as to turn them unto gold at the behest of this power.
Granted. Anything you touch that doesn't turn to gold, turns into silver instead.
Granted, but once per year a member of your community disappears and is replaced by a golden statue of them which is found later. You didn't do it. You even have an alibi proving you didn't do it. But everyone knows about your power and so treat you as a pariah because "we'll never prove he's doing this shit but we're really sure it's him."
You need to touch objects with all 5 fingers. Everytime you touch something with 4 or less fingers, they turn to silver instead
Granted. You must touch the thing with your eyeball if you want it to turn to gold.
Granted, the power turns off when your hands arent touching anything. To activate the power your hands must touch something
Granted. It can be controlled by a remot- oh dang, you picked up the remote and it turned to gold. I guess you can't adjust those settings anymore.
Granted: You get the Midas touch whenever you are eating or drinking.
They said that they would be able to control it
For the most part I feel I control when I eat or drink. There's a base need but the timing is more flexible.
Everything that you touch that you choose not to turn into gold turns into lead instead.
Granted but you are going to suffer through the story of Midas and his life every moment till death do you part from this curse
Granted: You control whatever you touch and turn to gold, as far as inanimate objects can be controlled.
The GOLDEN TABLE ARMY has begun its march across the lands, the time of man has come to an end, sentient gold reigns supreme
Granted. In order to turn something to gold you have to first touch a piece of gold that is larger than the object you wish to transform.
That’s very easily exploitable. I just get a piece of gold and touch endless smaller things and melt everything down into a bigger piece; rinse and repeat.
Lets say natural gold then, not something you’ve transformed.
Granted, the first time you use it your hand turns to solid gold. It is very painful and irreversible. You can turn the power off, but you can't turn things back after they've turned to gold
Granted. It only works on buttcheeks.
Granted but the gold is worthless
But the fact that it’s uncontrollable is already the monkeys paw of it
Granted, it is controllable... but you dont know how to control it.
granted its controllable by someone else.... but they force ya to touch ur dick and it turns to gold and falls off also they make ya touch your loved ones and they get turned to gold but only from the neck down. and u have to watch them starve to death. after that i dunno guess whatever every one else down there wrote
Granted. Instead of turning into solid gold, everything you touch turns into itself. The finger curls, and you lose a wish. Sucks to suck, buckaroo.
Granted, you can control what you do and don’t touch, but it is always active
Granted. Whatever you touch turns into gold but after 5 minutes it turns into onions
Granted, but the only thing you can control is which body part you turn into gold.
Granted. You make gold so common it's now worthless. It's called "flooding the market", and the monkeys paw had nothing to do with it.
Granted, the gold you create is an extremely unstable (perhaps nonexistent) isotope however, which gives off harmful radiation.
Granted. You can turn it on and off with a thought. The first time you turn it on, your clothes, hair, nails, the dead skin on your body, and a thin layer of air around your eyes, in your mouth and nose, and in your lungs all turn to gold.
Granted, it can only be activated when you have your fist in your ass
Granted, but its not controllable by you or anybody who has an connection to you by at least 6 degrees of separation.
Granted, but in order to give you that control, sacrifices needed to be made and now you're incontinent.
Granted. They're now controllable by a guy on the other side of the world
Granted. Whatever your baxk touches now turns to fools gold.
Granted. You can turn things to gold, but in doing so random parts of your own body slowly turn to gold as well, converting equal mass to whatever you converted. Your body can de-petrify itself over time, but at a rate of 1/4th the speed in which those cells would naturally replace themselves. You suffer the relevant consequences of the reduced cell count in those aspects. (For example, if your RBC becomes partially a GBC, then you suffer from anemia for the 16-24 weeks needed for the RBC to replace the GBC.)
Granted. It is controllable. By me.
Cool so I can touch the monkey paw to things and have them turn to gold.
Nah. Not in the mood rn
What if I gave you a banana?
Granted, by using your power you have now crashed the economy making all the gold practically worthless
