      Same, but, I would proudly and publicly deny that favor to about 3 people in my orbit. And then, I’d never talk to them again in my life.

    First thing? Probably panic. Second thing? Probably try to wake myself up. Third thing? Probably try to find some rational way that I just got isekai’ed as a billionaire.

    After it finally sank in, I’d probably consider lobbying for things before I lose touch with where I used to be. Right to repair, universal healthcare, UBI, etc…

        Well firstly there’s no europe-wide standard. There’s long scale and short scale, the US and many other countries use short scale (billion is 1000 millions). It usually goes by language, but there are exceptions: Spanish and Mexican Spanish are both long scale while USAn Spanish is short scale.

        Short scale goes: million, billion, trillion

        Long scale goes: million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard… etc.

        Then in my language it goes: million, milliard, trillion, quadrillion. We use short scale but replace billion with milliard (miljard actually for the local spelling)

        There are also other systems. Once you get to 10^5, India has names for every second power of ten rather than every third power. lakh is 1,00,000, crore is 1,00,00,000, etc. It’s funny writing it out with double zeroes instead of triple lol

    I’d take my family and leave behind the shithole that is the United States. God, I hate it here and having to live with Republicans.

        Maybe, but at least other countries prosecute their rich and powerful when said rich and powerful person rapes kids/steals classified documents. Also, every other developed country is able to ensure their government is funded while giving every person health insurance.

          They’re rapidly defunding the social safety nets and privacy protection in the countries you mean.

    I’d shut the fuck up. Pay off my house and maybe add an addition to where I’m at. Same with some relatives. Fix my Subaru the way I want it, buy a catterham.

    Start buying people’s debt for pennies on the dollar and cancelling it.

    cancel my benefits. tell my wife. I mean I would start trying to figure out my money but if a surface look indicated I was going to be set for life no matter what I do and if all the financials had some setup im sure we would definately take an extended vacay of no planning. Just go and do what we want and indulge. After a bit would start figuring out how to do something useful outside of be hedonistic and figure out where we want to live and such.

    I’d quit my job, buy a small house for my partner and I and give enough to my family that they wouldn’t have to worry about money again.

    With the rest, I’d set up a trust that donates 1% per year in microgrants to free software maintainers who apply to it. Similar to NLnet, but with no strings attached beyond continuing to maintain the project.

    Then, with all my free time, I’d also work on free software.

    First thing?

    Probably buy my wife something nice.

    Next, I would love to upgrade and spoil the homeless shelter behind my work. I always fantasize about being able to afford food, socks and blankets to distribute.

    First selfish thing? Build a new computer.
