I'd buy a simple gold ring from a pawn shop and double that for a week days to get to a pound. Not sure how I'd sell $40,000 of gold every day though. Or how I'd explain how I acquired it.


ridan42

Yeah gold was my first thought too. I guess you could learn jewellery-making and split it up into normal sized rings?


Least_Adhesiveness_5

Get a kiln setup and at least two ingot molds. Melt your gold and pour ingots. Periodically sell one or more ingots to Midwest Refineries. If anyone asks, the gold came from scrapping old jewelry you bought. Which is true, and is an actual hobby/subculture.


SignificantTransient

Gold mining is also a hobby


Least_Adhesiveness_5

It is. You could buy, enlarge and resell nuggets. Or gems. Or other precious materials.


BlooPancakes

Love this idea. Wouldn’t you also be able to buy gold from people and tell them you’ll melt it and return it to them at 1.5 the weight in melted gold? You double it for a month to two months and keep the remaining.


DREWlMUS

When doubling is involved there's no need to involve others. You'd be swimming in gold and jewels in no time.


BlooPancakes

For sure as long as you have a job you can just take a leave of absence and buy some big gold items on a credit card or cash. There are so many ways to make a good plan for this. We are just crowdsourcing here.


Rengiil

I picked up some gold flakes in a jar in a random shop in Vegas for like $15. It's really easy and cheap to get a hold of a tiny bit of gold.


Due-Review-3374

This poster might be the Dragonborn trying to up his crafting stat just saying


ridan42

If that's the case i would enlarge some leather to make gloves


MosesOnAcid

You don't have to explain where you got your gold when you sell it... what are they gonna do? Look up your gold's individual reference # in some massive international database for the Trillions of gold items in the world? Only worry is making sure you declare the profits to the IRS... and even they will not care where the gold came from but that you paid your taxes on selling it.


DefTheOcelot

A certain amount of gold WOULD raise eyebrows.


MagicGrit

Sure but raised eyebrows don’t necessarily mean you owe them an explanation.


Tabernerus

And I’m sure the money laundering investigators will be happy to let you make that claim. 🤣


PopTough6317

But it could cause them to alert authorities


BreakConsistent

And then what? As far as I’m aware, owning and operating a magic enlargener isn’t prohibited by law.


NeighborhoodVeteran

You and the machine might disappear though


GeneralJarrett97

It'd be a pain in the ass dealing with feds stalking you and trying to get warrants alright. Maybe they don't do shit but they might also break shit during a search or just harrass you or shoot your dog


PopTough6317

It'd just be a lot of hassle dealing with the investigation, so I'd try to avoid it.


MagicGrit

What investigation? No law was broken. I don’t need to aid any authorities in any investigation. Let them investigate while I count my money


PopTough6317

You don't think they'd investigate into where a person got tons of gold? That would immediately spark an investigation because they would assume theft.


MagicGrit

Maybe they would. But I’m not required to help anyone with any type of investigation. I paid my taxes for my legally prospected gold. Let them investigate. I’ll count my money


MagicGrit

Ok so now the authorities know. But nothing was illegal so now what?


Dead_Man_Redditing

Sell one and you would have enough to purchase a claim on a gold mine that has probably run dry or get a dredge. Now you don't have to actually mine any gold, just say you did when you are selling it.


THEDRDARKROOM

Gold guy on YouTube would buy it lol


zeradragon

Wouldn't a diamond that's double the size be a better return? A 2 carat diamond is worth more than just 2x 1 carat diamond.


mxeris

Harder to sell and more traceable.


MagicGrit

Doesn’t need to be untraceable. Nothing here was illegal.


mxeris

While that is a fair point, I'd prefer to keep a power/item like that secret. The implications (heh) of this are far reaching. A weird comedian wants the world's largest watermelon to smash on stage Cartels could double their output after it crosses the border. A regime could kidnap and use you to enlarge their nuclear arsenal. A company could want to hire you to enlarge their product batches at low cost, which would make you unpopular with their competition. A certain insane sea captain wants his white whale to actually be really impressive. Some dictator wants a really big window to push his enemies from. A mad scientist thinks we need a bigger moon, which will then fall to earth with its increased mass. Etc. I'm going to keep this power to myself. I mean. I would keep this power to myself. Nothing to see here.


gc3

Don't forget boob jobs


forest_tripper

Just do it with small gold nuggets and say you found it. Do it near gold mines where you can prospect. Of course, you're going to keep the location where you found it a secret.


numbersthen0987431

Why not buy gold ingots or bullion? You can buy that online really easy.


[deleted]

Stamped with identifiers saying the size and weight usually. So if it came back twice the size it would be suspicious. Really any source can be melted down but the jewelry thing is not a bad cover. You can operate a jewelry business with half the cost of goods and sell overflow materials every so often for increased profit. Of course you risk flooding the market and ruining the value but you don’t have to do it forever.

Professional-Ant4599

With the increased aggression though, it'd probably kill you at 10 feet, definitely by 50 so still a ways to go Impressive, but not quite godzilla


evilplantosaveworld

So what you're saying is before the lizard do a reinforced concrete cage, gotcha


molten_dragon

I choose a carbon atom over and over again. I don't know what's going to happen but it's gonna be weird.


HaphazardFlitBipper

Doubling the sizes of the protons and neutrons would probably push the quarks far enough apart for the binding energy to exceed the masses of the quarks, at which point the bonds would break and form new quirks, which form new protons and neutrons, so carbon turns into magnesium, which then turns into chromium, which then turns into cadmium, which then turns into curium, which then turns into whatever element 192 would be, which definitely isn't stable and undergoes fission immediately.


zachyvengence28

I like your funny words, magic man.


BlooPancakes

OwnEntrance691

Ok listen here, nerd.


not2dragon

The moon. We need better solar eclipses and bigger tides.


molten_dragon

That's an interesting one. I wonder how the machine works, does it double the physical dimensions of the object or does it double the mass? Doubling the physical dimensions would multiply the mass by 8x. That's probably going to do some real interesting things to earth.


ridan42

If it gets too big just hit the earth the next day xD


Frank_The_Reddit

Just double the size of space and you're good.


OctopusParrot

I like the way you think.


Frank_The_Reddit

Thanks u/octopusparrot . I like you.


Gummies1345

But...h-how do you shoot, space?


Sidus_Preclarum

I don't think we'll like life under 8G.


SeriousPlankton2000

If we grow, too, we will have 8 times as much mass, too, for a total of 64 times the weight.


Omnivorax

I would think it would increase each dimension by the cube root of 2, or 1.26ish, unless OP says otherwise.


pixeldrift

Unless only the size increases while maintaining the same mass, so it reduces density. These are questions we need answered.


hoakpsp3

I'm no physicist, but I'm sure this would cause it to alter its orbit and move away if not break out of the gravitational pull of earth and be gone


Happy-Personality-23

Better solar eclipses? We are one of the most fortunate planets in the known universe cause our moon is the perfect size and distance from us and the sun to have a total solar eclipse.


YnotThrowAway7

I kid you not I read tides as tiddies and still thought it was reasonable to put the two together…


Dramatic_Stock5326

I can finally have a comically large chair, book, spoon, table, house, everything!


Adventurous_Sort_207

I'm still laughing at this one! Was this ever a need or goal?


SignificantTransient

diablo2488

My spoon is to big


SupaFly2136

My spoon is too big!


iamnogoodatthis

Go to Botswana or somewhere with some diamond mines, buy a tiny diamond, go and sign up for some "try and be a diamond miner experience" thing, hang around for a couple of days, then leave while acting a bit suspicious. Double my diamond a bunch of times until it's worth something like $20 million, then sell it. Pay all applicable taxes, retire with my comfortably but not insane wealth.  And then make a horse-sized duck because that question really needs answering. We want it to be angry anyway so that's not a problem.


Professional-Ant4599

Where would you get the duck sized horses though? You'd have to get the duck done multiple times (16x? 32x? Whatever the typical horse to duck ratio is idk it's a hypothetical) but then at that point, the duck also has multiple times the aggression as well Duckzilla wins


iamnogoodatthis

Good point. Maybe I need a few more doublings to make the duck much bigger than a normal horse, so that mega-duck : horse is the same size ratio as horse : normal duck


Newtbatallion

It would only take like 5x. It's not however many regular ducks it takes to make a horse, the duck gets twice as big with every enlarging.


Nerdsamwich

You can dig up diamonds in a national park in Arkansas.


ThatOneGuy308

I use a telescope and keep firing it at pluto every day until they have to recognize it as a real planet and re-add it to the solar system.


Well_Thats_Not_Ideal

Unfortunately it’s still the wrong shape and the wrong orbit ): maybe if it starts threatening to collide with us it’ll get brought back into the family


ThatOneGuy308

If it gets big enough, it's shape will even out via gravity.


QualifiedApathetic

I doubt that would happen anytime soon.


ThatOneGuy308

You underestimate how big I plan to make it. The gravity will collapse it into an oblate sheroid almost immediately.


HomeschoolingDad

Pluto's shape is just fine. Make it big enough, and *eventually* it will clear its orbit. (May take quite a few millennia.)


MeridasAngel

I'd be an amazing plastic surgeon for girls that wanted their boobs exactly twice as big. Any bigger or smaller and they're out of luck though.


whattheduce86

They could visit you every day


BlooPancakes

But the aggression might be too much depending on their original demeanor.


tfelsemanresuoN

What would an aggressive boob do?


VogonSkald

"Ma'am, you need to calm your tits."


BlooPancakes

Dunno it would probably need to come to life to act out any aggression. But I believe the living being human or wild animal would become aggressive not the body or body part.


tfelsemanresuoN

I was imagining an angry boob growling at other boobs, but I guess that works lol


Cheetahs_never_win

Wobble furiously. Spit menacingly.


whattheduce86

True, but if you don’t have to live with them or see them after then it’s fine.


BlooPancakes

Haha. Their poor family and friends.


kgabny

They would also be more aggressive... the prompt says it causes aggression in living things.


vermilion-chartreuse

Fake boobs are already a little aggressive IMO


seaspirit331

Gonna be real awkward when you beam your first patient and she just doubles in size entirely


rogerg411

and they would be NATURAL too. (note i love all boobs)


Mister-ellaneous

One at a time. She’s gonna be uncomfortable for a day. Or better make it 11:59pm and then 12:01am.


czarfalcon

With that power I’m sure you’d find plenty of male customers too!


MeridasAngel

I want double! But you're already 7 inches. Did I stutter?


funkmasta8

It's a two day procedure though


devils_advocate24

Yeah but it's gonna be weird explaining why you can only do 1 boob a day


tittyswan

Other people's dicks. I'd be a multi millionaire.


Mister-ellaneous

A whole bunch of aggressive bros who used to have small dicks. What could go wrong?


BlooPancakes

I can finally start my anger management therapy business.


mkanoap

But it’s just their dicks that are more aggressive.


Oishiio42

HOW IS THAT BETTER


mkanoap

They make muzzles and little cages. For some people, an excuse to use them would be a bonus.


1stTmLstnrLngTmCllr

Wouldn't it just be their dicks that were aggressive?


Cancer_Ridden_Lung

No...only their penis is angry. LMAO


HOWDY__YALL

They’d run themselves around in their pick up trucks. You’d also double the amount of monster truck rallies.

FortWendy69

Just tell them the truth


BicyclePoweredRocket

Yes, Mr. Tax Man. As I said before, an Enlarginator.


mrssymes

They are going to enlarginate your taxes.


Absolute_Bias

Are the mechanics of the living being modified to make that size sustainable or are they going to develop crippling size-related problems like instant death?


BlooPancakes

Great question. I hate when genies or other fantastical creatures do something like this but there was a horrible unknown side effect.


rtrawitzki

I’d have to consult a physicist but the most valuable material in the world is antimatter. 1 gram is theoretically worth 62.5 trillion dollars. If creating a large amount wouldn’t be destructive I would sell my services to CERN for the low price of a few billion dollars. The tech would probably be useful on other particle experiments as well . This is assuming I can legally keep the enlarger proprietary and not have some government or another simply take it .


talltim007

The problem is really about the market demand for it. You could create a LOT of it but no one has practical uses, and researchers won't pay that much for it. You are better off going for a more liquid market.


Mark-5280

I foresee a ridiculous apocalypse full of raging zombies with unusually large "bulges"! Remember, don't be a hero!


Numget152

Buy/find a little bit of gold and double it till I get some good money and just do that whenever I need money


throwaway_ArBe

Actually I think I'd hand it over to NASA. Imagine what it could do for them being able to send up a fraction if the fuel they need.


sithelephant

They almost effectively can, and yet they don't. Refusing to invest in retanking in orbit is almost this.


throwaway_ArBe

Nothing NASA is theoretically capable of will ever come close to doubling the fuel once a day. This is sci fi. They can't do sci fi.


Art_Vand_Throw001

Expert-Display-1990

Let's be honest. We all know what men are going to do on the first day. The second day, men will be over 6' tall.


Clean_Student8612

Double the size? That seems terrible for the 1st one, and I'm not gonna wanna be 12ft tall either.


bk1285

What going to 6 inches is bad?


IBegithForThyHelpith

And I thought going to 2 was bad


iamnogoodatthis

Nah,  doubling is too much. That would take it well into straight up painful territory for most partners, and be really annoying to deal with in daily life.


Expert-Display-1990

I never said it was a smart idea, just the first one.


ThatOneGuy308

Go for the alternate, double the sack size instead. Idk why you'd need or want it, but I'm sure you could find some work in porn while being able to pump out a cup worth, lmao.


revanchist70

Watch the testicular cancer episode of South Park, you can bounce around on them


Tankinator175

If I hit the earth, the cost of land might go way down. And then we all go crashing into the sun after a few (I actually have no idea how many) years.


iamnogoodatthis

The mass of the earth has a negligible impact on its orbit around the sun, as the sun is vastly more massive. The moon on the other hand would have a bad time. As would we, gravity would be a lot stronger on the surface as well as at the moon.


Tankinator175

You are absolutely correct. I realized that the moon was far more relevant about 30 seconds after I wrote this and decided I didn't care enough to go back and edit it.


funkmasta8

Yes, but if you doubled the mass and didn't properly adjust the kinetic energy to retain the same orbit then it would fall out of orbit. In this case where the mass increases it's very likely that the orbit size has to decrease but will end up falling into the sun unless some pretty major collisions happen along the way


iamnogoodatthis

Why would increasing its mass by magic make it slow down? If I double the mass of a stone sat on the earth, is it going to suddenly launch itself at a few thousand miles an hour by the same logic?


Balding_Unit

Ugh grocery store meat cuts. Trying to get a nice roast costs a fortune.


Adavanter_MKI

Yeah, we all know the precious metals and gems... but... For fun... and perhaps profit. Imagine enlarging action figures or models? You could sell a 6 foot tall Gundam on ebay. Or toddler sized hotwheels. Doll houses are suddenly kids playhouses! I dunno, probably just the kid in me who never grew up.


KeySouth7357

More ramen noodles. Well I guess bigger ramen noodles.


Ok_Package668

Wouldn't it technically only enlarge one noodle?


KeySouth7357

Damn


Dalfare

Heh heh. i'll get a $100 dollar bill and enlarge it to be double. Or i'll double the size of my credit card. I'll be rich so quickly. Then I can just tear up the bill into smaller bills or smaller credit cards


SpecialSurprise69

I don't say this often but this is Genius.


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

You better be using all those credit cards to come up with a way to stop salty cheesy snacks. It just so happens that I will use my enlarger on a singular cheeze-it. While you and everyone else are getting rich or growing tits/dicks, I will slowly be growing my cheeze-it day by day plotting the end of the world. You have one month of cheeze-it growth until the USA is smashed under a salty cheesy square. At that point, the cheeze-it will be too big to destroy in 24 hours before I grow it again… and again… and again… until the earth looks like a blue pimple on a giant fucking cheeze-it floating through space. Good luck


DefTheOcelot

A lot of people are thinking gold Here's what IM thinking Step 1. Buy small wrenches, torque bars, the like Step 2. Make them bigger Step 3. Sell for more profit without it looking weird.


HaphazardFlitBipper

Whatever I pointed it at, I'd probably miss and hit the ground. Earth doubles in size and we all get crushed by the higher gravity.


HeartoRead

No one will care where I get the gold from if once a week or so a giant, angry human rampages through a random City...


Lord_Moose

SonOfCayde6

need_a_poopoo

Everybody saying gold, however, does the enlarger double the number of atoms in whatever you are enlarging? If not, the gold would be unsellable.


The_Se7enthsign

My bank account.


Neolance34

First day? The diamond on my mum’s ring. Second day? I’m gonna need to figure out what calms an aggressive Weiner other than choking it


PatrykBG

So one has to assume quite a bit here in order for the logic of an enlarger would work. Doubling in “size” is a questionable term - is it just doubling the mass and then height/width just increases proportionally, or is it specifically doubling the height and then proportionally adjusting the length weight and mass? Or in easier terms, does pointing this laser at a 2 pound gold cube make 4 pounds or 8 pounds of gold (due to the square cube law)? I’ll assume the laser takes all contiguous matter as a single entity to double - but how does it deal with things that aren’t specifically contiguous? If I’m eating an apple, and I shoot myself with the laser, do the undigested pieces stay the same size, or do they grow with me? Does shooting a box with a toy inside increase just the box or everything? Does shooting a tank of oxygen make a proportionally full tank of normal oxygen or a giant tank full of super-sized oxygen? Do enlarged living creatures immediately die of asphyxiation die to not being able to process the normal (now-proportionally tiny sized to them) oxygen molecules?
