    The discontinued Philadelphia Cream cheese snack bars in any flavor, but preferably strawberry.

      I’m a similar vein, the Kind & Steong Kind bars. Especially the honey mustard and Korean BBQ flavors!

      This is a very self centred view on value. Do you not think that there are things that have value, regardless of how much time you have?

        With time, you can make money.

        With unlimited time, you can become an artisan in any scope you wish.

        All other values are, the long way around, derived from time.

          I also disagree that everything valuable can be bought. And also, not everything of value has unlimited time to be reached

          For example, maybe you value the natural world in ways that climate change and other human factors are threatening to destroy. Sure with enough time you could get infinite money or influence or whatever to solve the problem, but by then it will be far too late.

            With infinite time, you’ll survive past the climate change issues, or perhaps even manage to elevate yourself to the level of supreme ruler with unlimited wealth and have the other billionaires heads on pikes.

            I think you’re REALLY underselling unlimited time.

              Yes I get that, but again, this is very focused on YOU. What about your friends and family who will suffer from the reduced value of the world. What about the general population?

              With unlimited time you could theoretically make a perfect world for yourself, one day. But it does nothing for things that are valuable now.

              Don’t get me wrong, unlimited time would be an incredible power, I’m just against the idea that there is nothing of value besides things you could also achieve with unlimited time.

                I don’t comprehend how that is focused on me. Anyone save someone with cognitive impairment with unlimited time would progress. They could put $25 in a bank account and check back in 200 years.

                who will suffer from the reduced value of the world.

                I don’t understand your take on this either. Time creates whatever value is needed. The rest of the world will continue on as it does now, the scope of whomsoever value was extended would extend exponentially. just because one person is granted unlimited time doesn’t take anything away from anyone else, they just become capable of more production throughout their timeline.

                With unlimited time you could theoretically make a perfect world for yourself, one day. But it does nothing for things that are valuable now.

                That’s the whole point of this exercise, by choosing unlimited time, now is no different. 100 years would be slightly changed. Think bloodless vampire, not Methuselah

                I’m just against the idea that there is nothing of value besides things you could also achieve with unlimited time.

                Again it’s not that everything else is null, it’s that the power created to the unlimited timeline makes all the other value inconsequential.

    Gold. It’s not money. But I can sell it and get just about anything else in this thread.

    Love.

    Yesterday I saw here the post of the woman saying the face change of her husband going from :| to :) just by seeing her was the best feeling.

    Imagine having this with everyone

    Unlimited waking hours. Imagine not feeling tired, no need for coffee or naps. I do like my naps but it’s because of that afternoon drowsy feeling. Imagine that’s gone!

        Why?? This is my answer as well. There’s just not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do. There are so many things I haven’t even bothered trying because I know I don’t have the time to learn it well enough for it to be worthwhile.

        I know my car repairs are DIYable but I don’t have the prerequisite knowledge so it will take me too long to be cost effective. If I didn’t have to sleep, I’ve got an extra 8 hours a day to learn.

        Even asking for unlimited youth is tricky for the monkey paw could just make you forever a baby.

        Now that wouldn’t necessarily mean you’d end up being an adult brain in a baby’s body, just straight up a 1 year old that never develops, always reliant on someone else. You’d literally have 1 year before you’d be surrendered to some sort of institution as a medical oddity whilst you comprehend nothing doomed to overwhelming stimulus forever.

        Best you could hope for is specifying an age in your life you consider to be what your physical peak was and just deal with the lack of mental development completion if that physical peak was before being roughly 25 years old.
