    Sent this to my friend at AWS and he said it was already all-over their internal Memes Slack channel. At least their engineers and project managers are in on the joke. 😁

    Create a serverless function on AWS that calls a serverless function on Azure, which calls a serverless function on gcp which calls a serverless function on Oracle cloud which loops it back to AWS.

    Now stick CloudFlare in between each step of that.

    I’d spend 100M in a month easily. Especially after I’ve bankrolled GrapheneOS, Ladybird and all my favourite FOSS projects. They also didn’t say anything about charity which IMO isn’t gifting. Once I feel like I’ve sufficiently contributed to society I’d buy a 50ft sailboat, pimp the shit out of it with solar and fuck off forever.

    With the billion I’d establish a fund that pays out monthly to any projects I deem worthy and funds all food banks in my local area indefinitely.

      Especially after I’ve bankrolled GrapheneOS, Ladybird and all my favourite FOSS projects.

      According to the book The Starfish and the Spider, which is about decentralized organization versus centralized organization, the Spanish Empire was able to defeat the previously-undefeatable Apache resistance by giving gifts of horses to some of the Apache leaders. It provided them status, creating a hierarchy, turning the Apache society into the sort of thing that could be destroyed in conventional battle.

      Not saying it’s a very tight analogy, but I would be wary of changes in team culture resulting from a project going from volunteer based to well-funded.

      Obviously open source projects need resources, such as servers and github accounts and all that, but spirits change when resource flows change, and projects excel or flub on spirit.

    Genie never said they’d give me a 100M to spend in the first place. No way I’d be able to spend 100M that I don’t have.

      It’s taking the premise of Brewster’s Millions, which required that he not only spend the money, but that he has to have nothing left at the end, including assets. So, buying a house doesn’t work because you still own the house.

      Obviously there are still plenty of ways to drop millions on stuff without having anything to show for it. Hell, it’s probably easier now than ever before. Just become a whale for a mobile game and you’re there.

        Mobile game, uhg! Think of the services: a month’s worth of the best eats: 90 meals from the world’s 100 most famous chefs, each flown in to serve you. (Presumably 10% would decline even $1m for a single meal.) Concerts from semi-famous bands every three nights. Boom, $100m spent!

        Mobile games are easier and funnier though 😉

    I would’ve thought that this could be quite simple.

    • A few flights in a private jet, or long-term purchasing for the whole month to take you wherever you want.
    • Several $250k-500k cars in each location to take you wherever you want
    • A private show from a famous band can set you back a few million. Do this each day.
    • Go to Vegas and get in a pissing content with some rich cunt where you send expensive drinks to each others table, until one folds. That’ll be a few million each night.
    • Trump spent a ton on sex, so high class hookers?
    • A few ads across multiple providers to promote something
    • Prize fights can be set up quickly, and have the best in combat sports ready in 30 days. Offer $1m per division for the winner, and do it across maybe 4-5 sports, pay for TV and streaming, set up a venue, and you’ll probably blow through it all.

      I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They’ll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like “doesn’t help carry suitcases”, “laughed at a disabled person”, “sneezed too loud that one time”. That’ll show them.
