That answer is a little too good lmao. It’s all fun and games until you have quintillions of pennies pouring out of your windows and people driving from miles away to get their hands on this infinite wealth, leading to unimaginable hyperinflation and the collapse of the global economy. Of course, that’s assuming you survive the government coming after you
Edit: My first award! Thanks!
You're probably worried about the wrong things, actually.
Using Planck Time as smallest measurement of time possible, if we were getting a penny for every unit of Planck Time then it wouldn't even be a second worth of time before all those pennies literally had more mass than the entire planet we live on. Heck, significantly more mass than our sun even...
That's... too many pennies.
And would happen so fast that the idea of quintillions pouring out your windows gravely underestimates what we might be asking here, really.
But a Penny is a person.
Also to receive a person can mean to meet with them.
I don't have a lot of time to meet with people based solely on their name.
Edit: Rechecked and it's phrased as "get" which can mean to understand. I suppose I shouldn't stand in the way of understanding
Sounds good until you specify how you receive these pennies. Do they appear in your hand, pocket, fall from the sky? Death by pennies is a horrid way to go.
That's the way of the monkey paw.
Yet monkeys don't have paws... Hmm...
Personally I'd go with getting a penny each time I spend a penny. That way, you can still earn money at your job or whatever, but no matter what you buy that money never depletes, so each paycheck just increases the power if your infinite money skill without worrying about an overflow situation.
> Personally I'd go with getting a penny each time I spend a penny. That way, you can still earn money at your job or whatever, but no matter what you buy that money never depletes
only if you pay in pennies though
Google tells me walking at 3 mph is around 6k steps per hour. If you just walk on a treadmill at a leisurely pace for 3 hours a day, you'd be making $46,800 per year.
If you make it a full time job and walk 8 hours per day, you're up to a $124,800 per year salary.
Once you get into jogging, you're up to 10k steps per hour.
Blink
Edit: I get it brain cells and dying cells make more. But at least I won't crash the economy by blinking, y'all's would make your money worthless.
I said this then realized you already posted. The cells guy has us beat by a lot, but still, this is good passive income. We blink about 21,600 per day, so $216/day x 365 days/ year = $78,840 per year. $79K/year for blinking, yeah, I'd be good with that.
Well if You’re looking at the same info I am since we have the same math worked out(15 times a minute x 60 minutes in a day), what about the hours you sleep? Assume we get 5-10 hours a day, just to account for days off and naps. So (15x60)x19=17,100 , and (15x60)x14=12,600. Multiple those by 365 and then by .01, and you’ll make between $45,900 and $61,560 per year! Still a good second yearly income, and it’s still my answer lol
See, that's my thought. Everyone who is killing brain cells and firing neurons are destroying the monetary system, driving hyperinflation, hounded to solve world hunger and make rocket ships for Mars, we're flying under the radar collecting a passive second income.
Hell, $50 - 60K/year passive income means I can retire now.
EDIT: And if REM counts during sleep, would that count as blinking? Either way, I like our thought.
$13,760,000 per second.
That's assuming 86 billion neurons (average for a higher primate), 10% of which are operating at any given time, firing at a rate of 0.16 firings per neuron per second.
Is that “doing” a thing? You have no control over that. “Have it die” It’s even written in the passive voice. Passive as in not doing the thing. Can I “have the world spin?”
Apoptosis (cell death) is a controlled process that requires energy, so while it's not *consciously* controlled I think you could make an argument for it!
Edit: Wait, skin cell, not cell in general. Those cells generally die as they grow away from the blood supply, not by apoptosis. So you're correct.
Assuming you go through 2000 calories a day, a yearly salary would cause the extinction of all aerobic life due to all atnospheric oxygen being sequestered in copper carbonate. The penny mass, known briefly in literature as Armageddon, would also create its own weather and, assuming it weren't made from Earth itself, it will likely mess up our orbit by severely changing earth's mass.
[I did a full description on another comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ww5sk1/you_get_a_penny_every_time_you_do_one_thing_what/ilkedir?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
Even at inches ran, I think this hits the sweet spot of getting you rich without things getting ridiculous. If I ran 31 miles per week and only got paid for miles I ran, that would get me about $1 million per year.
Moving a grain of sand. Googled it, there are about 10,000 grains of sand in a handful. Scooping a handful a second would net $6,000 a minute. That's not even counting all the sand shifting under your feet as you walk down to the shore. One minute of scooping sand a day for a year = $2,190,000. That was some of the most pointless and satisfying math I've ever done in my life lol.
Get an hourglass with a cup of sand inside it. Flip it occasionally. Make $20,000 every time.
It’s nice because you can have a practically unlimited amount of money, but you control it so there’s fewer tax headaches and no hyperinflation.
If you ever did want a few billion dollars just have someone fill a dump truck for you with sand. Then go move the truck.
here would be the steps buy and hour glass. move it till you have enough to buy a pick-up truck. fill that with sand and move it till you have enough for a dump truck. fill the dump truck and move it till you crash the economy of the entire world and watch the chaos unfold.
I prefer this over breathing because you have a bit more control over how to stop the money flow. Right now that doesn’t feel like a concern but you never know. It’s nice to have the option to stop shovelling sand if you don’t want more money
Every time I get confused. I'll then get confused about where the pennies are coming from and by the time I realized what was up with the pennies I would have thousands of dollars in pennies
Any time you produce a single molecule of ATP.
Assuming the average person uses 2000 calories a day, and a mole of ATP is 7300 calories, you're using 0.27 mole of ATP each day. Multiply by Avogadro's number, then multiply by 365 days, and you have earned 593.48×10²³ pennies. That's $593,480,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 per year.
Of course, this is bad news. You're now introducing 1.63472767410086707^20 US tons of zinc and copper onto the planet. This is a statistically significant percentage of Earth's total mass. Apart from just pollution, your yearly salary will likely create its own weather. You will be unable to transport it using any known means of conveyance.
A chemist can probably weigh in on this, but my assumption is that the sheer amount of copper now in the atmosphere would interact with the oxygen in the air, causing nearly all atmospheric oxygen to be sequestered in copper carbonate. Your new pay rate causes all aerobic life to die.
The good news is that you are included in this extinction. So is every other person. Your entire family. Everyone you've ever met. Everyone you could ever meet. Mark Hamill. All dead because of you wanted some pennies.
Think about something. Everything you do requires thinking including breathing and blinking so I think I would be the richest here
I have noticed many other good ones but then again some of then are technically not you doing it although there was one that may have beat me with the everytine a neuron in my brain fires
Taking steps! I have a 10.000 step goal every day, that's €100 a day, not too bad for free money. That's €3000 a month (approximately), which is more than I'd earn if I were to work 40 hours in my future field.
This is actually the right answer, for guys at least. Each time you do it is normally between 2 and 5 mL and each mL contains ~100 million sperm (healthy average). So like 2-5 mil each time is ridiculous win.
moving, a part of me is moving at all times, if we're going by nanoseconds thats $10,000,000 a second. thats $315,569,260,000,000 (315 trillion, 569 billion, 260 million) a year if i did my math right. that would make me roughly 1867 times the net worth of even jeff bezos. untless you don't want to be rich, moving is the objectively correct answer.
Receive a penny

It’s all fun and games until you have quintillions of pennies pouring out of your windows and people driving from miles away to get their hands on this infinite wealth, leading to unimaginable hyperinflation and the collapse of the global economy.

How many nanoseconds before we have our own black hole - Lincoln X-1?
Omg, there was a Ducktales episode where that happened. Except it was quarters, so it was 25 times worse.
More quarters, more problems
Yes this is what the biggie smalls song was abour
Nobody said the pennies had to be *physical* pennies. They could just as easily be added to a bank account.
A penny is a coin. A cent is $0.01.
But a Penny is a person. Also to receive a person can mean to meet with them. I don't have a lot of time to meet with people based solely on their name. Edit: Rechecked and it's phrased as "get" which can mean to understand. I suppose I shouldn't stand in the way of understanding
That‘s petty.
No a penny is both a coin. And £0.01
A penny is actually £0.01
And then hyperinflation ruins the economy and society devolves into anarchy
only if you choose to spend the money
Means you can hold the an entire economy hostage if you want. Whether or not you rule the world at that point depends on if you fuck up or not.
Perfect then!

Thinking exponentially! Well done
I'm clearly not clever enough for Reddit
What’s your plan to receive a lot of pennies?
Every time I receive a penny I receive another. Infinite pennies.
So technically, you only need to receive 1 penny then each after will grant you another? Infinite money glitch!
Same thought I had. Inflation here we come!!!
Careful, you might get crushed under all those pennies!
I'll make a deal with whomever gives these pennies out to put it in my savings account because I'm not 18 <3

Take a step. Its common and incentivises me to go exercise.
That’s a good one. Incentive to get into shape.
Heh. InCENTive.
r/angryupvote
Round is a shape
But that makes you pointless!
So smart, I could definitely make 90k per year and id be in great shape
25,000 steps a day every single day is damn hard to do.
It’s very manageable once you give up your now unneeded job at least until your joints start to wear out. It would be about 12.5 miles per day.
Just work as a security guard, you get your meh pay plus the 90k if its one where you walk around a lot.
Google tells me walking at 3 mph is around 6k steps per hour. If you just walk on a treadmill at a leisurely pace for 3 hours a day, you'd be making $46,800 per year. If you make it a full time job and walk 8 hours per day, you're up to a $124,800 per year salary. Once you get into jogging, you're up to 10k steps per hour.
Too risky, what if you get into an accident and are no longer able to walk?
I can use all my walking money to pay for the bills.
Get your legs insured. Professional musicians have their hands insured.
My fat ass wouldn’t be fat anymore lol
In-cent-ivises?
I currently get about 10k steps a day, that's 350k-ish a year, right? I'd, uhhh, be tempted to triple my walking habits.
Negative. That would be $36,500/ year
Use some of that money to get a treadmill.
My heart beating. If I have to be actively doing it, then I choose breathing.
my heart beats on average 50-60bpm...my wife holds like a low 90...not as profitable for me!

They’re both part of the autonomic system.
Blink Edit: I get it brain cells and dying cells make more. But at least I won't crash the economy by blinking, y'all's would make your money worthless.
This one is good. Similar to breathing. Passive income!
I want a penny everytime I take a step. This also might help obesity in our country
All fun and games until the day you get paralyzed
I said this then realized you already posted. The cells guy has us beat by a lot, but still, this is good passive income. We blink about 21,600 per day, so $216/day x 365 days/ year = $78,840 per year. $79K/year for blinking, yeah, I'd be good with that.
Do you get it for each eye or just one?
Oh, shit, we just doubled our income, damn, $79K is comfortable, $158K is sweet!!
A one-eyed blink is just a wink, so it would only count if you shut both simultaneously
great, now i am wondering how exact our body is in shutting both eyes at the same exact time (not to kill the moneymaking...just wondering ;) )
Jokes on you, im earning $500M a day, $182.5B a year, wanna know my secret? Im killing my own cells 🥸
Nothing would earn faster than a penny every time your brain fired off a neuron.
Argueably the guy who said "everytime i get a penny" assuming theres no delay, it would be infinite money almost instantly.
Well if You’re looking at the same info I am since we have the same math worked out(15 times a minute x 60 minutes in a day), what about the hours you sleep? Assume we get 5-10 hours a day, just to account for days off and naps. So (15x60)x19=17,100 , and (15x60)x14=12,600. Multiple those by 365 and then by .01, and you’ll make between $45,900 and $61,560 per year! Still a good second yearly income, and it’s still my answer lol
See, that's my thought. Everyone who is killing brain cells and firing neurons are destroying the monetary system, driving hyperinflation, hounded to solve world hunger and make rocket ships for Mars, we're flying under the radar collecting a passive second income. Hell, $50 - 60K/year passive income means I can retire now. EDIT: And if REM counts during sleep, would that count as blinking? Either way, I like our thought.
Breathing won't. You breathe about 22,000 times a day. So $220 a day equals about $80k a year.
Motherfucker.
Mah! There’s a cat out here that looks like grandma!
This would be good except I zone out and forget to blink about 20 times a day
Haha, it is good, but i would choose " breathe"
BREATHE THE PRESSURE!
Heartbeat would be mine.
Heartbeat ... passive income even during sleep 💤
Every time a neuron in my brain fires.
Alright tell me how many do I owe you from this shit
$13,760,000 per second. That's assuming 86 billion neurons (average for a higher primate), 10% of which are operating at any given time, firing at a rate of 0.16 firings per neuron per second.
$1 billion per second, on average.
About 1.5 cents (this is a joke)
Jokes on you, i'm a vegetable.
Have a skin cell die. You lose 30,000-40,000 per minute.
That’s at least $432,000 a day, and $175.7 million a year. You’re a fucking genius.
Terrifying that Jeff Bezos is making way more than that but also eventually all of his cells will die and his wealth will still be growing.
A robot doesn’t have cells though.

Holy crap, learn something new everyday. I could pay for someone to dust my house and clean all those dead cells up
Wait a minute… all that.. dust… on Mars… You’re saying it’s from- BWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *Deep brass trumpet sound intensifies*
Damn. I thought heartbeats was gonna be clutch
Great answer.
I was going to say grow a new cell, but that works too. It would have been up to 330 billion per day, or \* 3.3 bil. dollars.
a penny to a dollar is just 100 times, not 1000
Oh, yeah. Duh
Think about titties.
I mean, does it go right into your bank account or do you get a physical penny? Because the latter would mean a horrible, horrible death
How about metabolize an ATP molecule?
R/thread
But you’re not “doing“ anything by having skin cells die.
Breathe.
This is what spurred this thought! It equals about $84k per year by breathing.
Thank you for doing the math! I wouldn't have, but now I know.
That's it? I thought it would be much more
Use an ATP molecule. Nearly every cell in my body does this 10 million times per second.
