You have a $20 bill, and you need to double it. You have 1 month, you must keep it in cash (No banks, cashapp, credit cards), you don’t have an address, a phone number, or and you can’t interact to people in public. using just the internet and an email, how do you double the money?
100% return in one month? Just using the internet? Impossible.
That’s one of those things that would be immediately, completely used up the moment it exists. A free lunch, basically.
In theory, you could get a few percent annualised return for nothing the conventional investment way, but I don’t know how easy that would be especially with a small amount, and anti-laundering laws exist to (try to) stop you from doing it anonymously like that.
It feels like you might be hoping for a hustle, but you either need to deliver something of value right at the time of the transaction, or promise to deliver value and have an verifiable identity where they can come and find you if you don’t. Because the other people with the money you want aren’t stupid.
In the money value system? Buy and resell drugs, or prostitution.
With prostitution, you don’t even need the initial 20, but that’s basically a kind of work so I don’t think it’s in the spirit.
Probably ditto for finding someone dumb enough to buy your overpriced single gram. If you can actually build a client base and find regular suppliers that changes, although then you have to deal with the risks of being a drug dealer.
I would hope sex work involves soap, condoms, some sort of deodorant, clean clothing, a clean room, etc. I don’t think the single gram is an issue when the main dealer cuts you off because the bill is too high and will keep your 20 and give you nothing.
In fact, trade a sex act for a few grams, purify, resell. But I’m not doing any of that and understand people need food and shelter so I’m not mad if they do.
The same as always: sexual favors behind a fast food joint dumpster.
you can’t interact to people in public. No face-to-face communication.
Glory hole.
interact to people
face to face
You might be confused about the physical logistics of these so-called favors — and that’s likely a good thing, heh.
lmao, fair enough
If we wanted kissing we wouldn’t be behind the dumpster.
Don’t delete this after getting responses like you did last time. That’s a real jerk move.
It got removed for not being an open-ended question, i did not remove it. I was genuinely enjoying the criticism!
I’ve archived it on the Wayback Machine.
Check their post history. Asked for help setting up some online club, got loads of helpful responses. Deleted the post but not their comments.
Wouldn’t be the first Lemmy leech I’ve seen who takes advice and then rips away the discussion.
Didn’t delete it, it got removed for not being an “open-ended, thought provoking question” lol.
Sorry, figured you were like that guy who keeps asking about Turkish land values and then deleting.
That’s really funny, no lol. People hated the idea i had but I appreciated all the feedback, and I’ve been working on it and I’m liking the updated version of it.
“Using just the internet no interaction with people but keep it cash” wat
No time constraint. So it’s very easy: you just follow a random person until they accidentally drop a $20 bill.
Sell 40 $1 raffle tickets with a $20 prize, I guess.
That will leave you with $20
No, $40
40*$1-$20 prize=?
You start with $20 so it’s really
20+40*1-20
Ok.
20+40*1-20. The first 20 you had already.
Except you’re not gonna sell any because I’m going to sell 42 tickets to a $21 prize. You’ll just be left with your $20 prize, $20 dollars, and 40 free tickets.
If I knew how to do that, I would do it with $10,000 or $100,000 and not $20.
How the fuck are you not gonna interact with people but have cash change hands?
You can’t talk to people. You can’t meet people, but you must somehow get money from other people. The fuck.
You also can’t use banks or credit cards? How the fuck are you gonna meet someone online and get them to mail you $20?
get creative. Find local boards, email and make connections, do not contact trades with the cash and a product and trade it up enough. Email companies. think outside the box
Sooo interact with people?
I want to add that I know this sounds mean like I’m angry, but it’s kind of more like I’m frustrated with the impossible constraints of the mental exercise.
If I have offended you, I do apologize. It’s not my intent.
I enjoy solving puzzles, but assuming that none of your constraints can bend, then the only thing I can think of would be for you to send out a mailing list begging for money and hope that enough people respond, like a letter saying, “hey, send me a dollar and you’ll get good luck”, or something.
For $20, you should be able to send about 40 letters, and if all 40 of them send you $1, then that would meet your requirements.

No-contact delivery shit like this is crazy
you must keep it in cash
you don’t have an address, a phone number, [and] you can’t interact [with] people in public
using just the internet and an email
What do you expect me to do, download a $20 bill from the internet and print it??? I guess the only realistic option is to walk around busy places after everyone’s left and hope you stumble upon someone’s dropped wallet.
Find someone who will lend you 20 bucks
Remote roulette table. Bet it all on black.
Email a buddy to lend me $20 and leave it somewhere where I can pick it up.
nice lol
Go back in time and buy Apple stock when it was $20 and sell when it’s $40
temo time machine here we come
