I'm going to fuck it
The dollar?
All he needs is a minute with a prostitute
Iβm not putting my dick anywhere a $60/hr escort.
What if I only need 10 sec?
Mr. Hand Lotion, eh?
Two pumps and a squirt.

Maybe...
Could there be a way to enjoy a dollar's worth of a skydiving trip? I'm thinking of being teleported into the sky mid-drop, flailing about in a panic for a few seconds, then instantly reappearing back where I was before.
Twist: you keep the velocity you gained during the drop and splash on the living room floor right in front of your family.
Lol, imaging switching from 15db typical room whisper sound to idk, 100db? sound of falling in terminal velocity and then back. The face expression is priceless
*Could there be a way to make someone else "enjoy"... :D
Yes, you get the parachute and all and if it is a service where there is a set cost to skydive, then it is X over the time of the fall times one dollar over the cost of the entire service.
I buy one dollar worth of Bitcoin... according to the value moments after Bicoin's invention.
Its a magic dollar aint it? So the magic is that I get to choose the time period of its exchange value.
Stonks π€
using 'the pizza' as the exchange rate, 243.9 coins to the dollar. iirc, it was a $41 pizza order for 10,000 coins. save up for the 41 days then use the 'magic' to buy that guy's pizza.
at today's exchange rate, 10k coins is nearly $968m. accounting for exchange fees and taxes (capital gains, since you bought them years ago), lets call it an even $750m.
now if the 'magic' lets you repeat that process every 41 days........
If you choose, you can time travel to the 'distance' in time worth one dollar, however much that may be. There is also no rule against saving.
So I can travel back in time 8.27 minutes? Because that's what a dollar is worth according to the US Federal Minimum wage.
Cool, I guess I can save up a year worth of magic dollars then I can go back in time 50 hours.
Choose any stock or crypto that went up by a lot in the last 8min, travel back, buy all your moneys worth and sell 8min later. Repeat every day
Not bad for a passive income.
'buy' a dollar of someone's time, kill 'em, then automatically teleport out and back to safety and alibis.
A dollar's worth of Asian street food every day. From a place like Vietnam, a dollar goes a long way. I could turn that into an amazing lunch every day.
Shares in Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Intel at IPO dates. Maybe short some Boeing stock in 2022, with a call price.
Not to brag, but if I made one dollar more per day, I wouldnβt even notice. A dollar ainβt worth a dime anymore.
But in answer to your question, β ^th^ of a banana.
You can save it.
The only right answer is drugs
I'm going to turn it into pennies and drop pennies everywhere I go.
Ass pennies
I buy one potato and enjoy its extended lifetime.
You can then plant it, and make more and eventually start a business. Then, a French fry company, lol.
I suppose it would be a cheat to buy money, eg through stocks, shares, or exchange rates, right?
No, I am gonna go with the rules that I have written to be fair, so this is perfectly fine. Be as creative as you want. You could even buy a lottery ticket every day but that never works out so yeah. Buy a one dollar stock. No exchange rate. It's the dollar of whatever country you are in.
A Japanese dollar?
Yen
Short bursts of great stuff are better than long periods of shitty stuff.
If an annual pass to a museum is $100, i would spend two day's dollars buying 3-day passes to lots of different museums for a friend and me. Do we auto transport to the city? Or does the museum just appear at my house?
On the other days i would take a couple of laps around a track in some cool cars, have sips of some very expensive whiskey, and ride short sections of trains around the world.
During the week i would search the internet to find great $1 specials at bars all over the world and on weekends i would slowly have a beer on a beach in Mexico, vermouth in Barcelona, coffee in Modena, a mojito in havana, ...
If you have a dollar, you can choose to either enjoy the beverage or the destination for a time equal to one dollar. You get a magic door and are teleported back as soon as one dollar's worth is used. As I am sticking with only what I wrote as the rules, since there is no rule that says you cannot split it into 50 cents each, you can do that. You can also save up the money as that is not in the rules.
Buy etfs
If you use the dollar to match the S&P500 beginning in 1928, you'd earn about 1(1.1)^96 = 9 thousand dollars. (w/ dividends)
9k a day times 365 days a year is 3.2 million a year. Or you can invest THOSE EARNINGS into ETFs at the present day again -- by 5 years you'll have made 16 mil principal + 5.4 mil interest. At that rate, it'll take 35 years to be a billionaire.
Oooooor you can just continually dunk the magic daily dollar in Bitcoins instead
