I know of an exploit on a horribly designed website for a national car park company that would allow me to write a script that would effectively give me and anyone else i know free parking for ever for all car parks administered by this company in the country (which is a lot of car parks).

So i'd do that

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

tbh, i was inspired by a post with the same title while lurking on reddit. i have a rule about not posting there though so i bought the conversation here

I'd go to the art museum and consume copious amounts of hallucinogens.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I did that at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The law does not currently prevent me from doing anything I want to do.

[–] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Crime means breaking the law, correct?

Nolocation is named, so I will assume this refers the laws of physics and reality.

I would:

  • expand time so that it lasts a near infinite duration, contained entirely within this day of no crime
  • transmute a bunch of the rocks in my apartment into gold
  • alter my DNA to include working wings like a bat, a prehensile tail like a monkey, gills like a salamander, enviromental adaptability like a chameleon that's selective so I can hide these enhancements from others
  • one more enhancement related to a very specific part of the anatomy of a horse or blue whale, or whatever it is people want these days
  • remove all genetic defects of my body, like susceptability to cancer and addictions, grant it full immunity to diseases, put it into a perfect equilibrium with near instantaneous regeneration and longevity and thus allowing my life to last as long as I desire
  • create a star from nothing and collapse it in a way that stores all of its energy into a pocket sized battery with perfect functionality and adaptability that is nearly indestructable
  • hold hands with two chicks at the same time

It's fun to dream of the impossible.

~~Illegal~~ Legal immigration.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't even think of that. i could apply for US and EU passports

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why'd you go for a US passport considering their globally reaching tax laws?

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Why do so many every single year go for us passports and us citizenship?

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I would move to Scandinavia, maybe Denmark or Netherlands.

[–] SteposVenzny@beehaw.org 18 points 2 weeks ago

I keep my head down. No legal consequences isn’t the same thing as no consequences.

if I still had my last dog then walk her without a leash.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 15 points 2 weeks ago

I'm a renter, so I'd throw a brick through each window of my property manager's tesla.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's crazy that you guys in the US can get a ticket for crossing the road

Man, I gotta brew something up in case a Crime Day comes up.

I'd like to do some proper money laundering but I'd need dirty money first. Idk, if skill wasn't an issue, I'd hack the bank and erase my debt? No, make the bank owe ME.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Nuke the world.

That's not murder; it's a war crime.

I’d torture the shit it out of the parasite sack of shit that is my landlord

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Go shoplift anything I want. Snack/trinket party!

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Banksssss! Rob banks! Then use that money to buy snacks forever!

That'd require planning tho.

I would steal a single nuclear icbm and take it to a pizza hut and just leave it there. Just seems like it would cause some interesting conversations.

It the best day of the year to get rich from the imaginary economy of assets. Set a bot to match the trades of some people who will be insider trading and cash in every year.

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I don’t think that is illegal now. As you are technically not an insider
