You have a magic dollar that allows you to do one dollar's worth of anything. What are you doing with it? (lemmy.world)

The dollar can be used once a day. It has to be a dollar's worth of a product, service or use of a product. For example, A dollar's worth of a $100 TV would be the life of the TV divided by 100. You would get to enjoy the TV for that amount of time. The product or service is instant and doesn't require any preparation. It just appears and disappears. Or you could have a TV permanently that is worth one dollar.

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.

Ballpark $300 per go, typically ~10,000 ft, internet says that's 30 seconds of freefall... I think you can get a dollar's worth of skydiving by rolling out of bed the wrong way.

Well, I guess it depends which tenth of a second of the fall you get. Do you get the beginning jump out of the plane, or somewhere midair?

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.
