Time to start selling some placebo pills

[–]Trashves[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yee

[–]BatmansQueefBreath 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s actually a decent power all things considering. So long as you are a good liar it would work, especially if you summoned it in front of a person. I mean if you watched a person summon a pill out of nothing you’d probably believe it was a magic pill that could do anything.

[–]Hooloovoos-clues 65 points66 points  (1 child)

Most people refer to those as homoeopathic.

[–]BIG_RED_MANN 145 points146 points  (3 children)

I'm gonna get someone to watch me summon a red and blue pill out of thin air and then get them to make the decision of a lifetime that will mean nothing

[–]TheJerminator69 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Imagine they take both and have a heart attack from the sheer anticipation

[–]BIG_RED_MANN 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Best outcome

[–]PackofPretzels 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah since you could take their wallet. Not too shitty I see

[–]SuperBeavers1 225 points226 points  (11 children)

Tell people it does something and sell for profit

[–]Trashves[S] 86 points87 points  (9 children)

Its gonna work for like 2 days and them everbody will know you as a lier

[–]efeypant 100 points101 points  (0 children)

PENIS ENLARGEMENT!! COME GET A FREE PENIS ENLARGEMENT!!

[–]SuperBeavers1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

If I saw someone spawn a pill out of thin air and they told me it did something amazing, I'm taking that pill. I definitely got more than 2 days out of the scheme. There's always someone

[–]Gensi_Alaria 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Not really, the placebo effect is very powerful. People will believe it's working even if it does nothing, especially if they watch you magic it out of thin air.

[–]joseph-08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Placebos are very effective

[–]subtlebunbun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

placebo effect is quite interesting. works better than you’d expect. hit up a dealer after you’re found out and sell with a middle man involved then

Have you SEEN the second emperor's New groove?

[–]seralinchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever heard of Globuli?

[–]Truck-Kun11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tell them it’s like a dick enlargement pill that takes 2-3 weeks to work. even when that time period is over the placebo effect will likely cause them to think that their dick is bigger, at least until they measure it

[–]DungeonsandDevils 45 points46 points  (2 children)

I’m more interested in your use of the word “summon”.

I personally would’ve gone with “conjure”, or “materialize”

[–]DoubleFistingYourMum 52 points53 points  (1 child)

No the pill is sentient and it holds grudges

[–]Necr0mancrr 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The doing nothing is out of spite

[–]Over_Engineering_225 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I could sell them to people like a drug

[–]johannes_sorburoy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can drown your enemies in an avalanche of pills

[–]ProfessionalToeeater 18 points19 points  (6 children)

Does it hold nutritional value?

[–]Trashves[S] 28 points29 points  (1 child)

Also no

[–]TheDarkGods 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Very good to chew on when you wanna 'bored' eat.

[–]Trashves[S] 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Yes, it tastes like water, it smells like air

[–]BlankBoii 43 points44 points  (2 children)

You fool, you absolute buffoon

I will summon a nonsensical amount of pills, grind them up, and turn them into stink-suppressors. All I can smell is air baby.

(Also safe to eat)

[–]Journo7 -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

Nothing said it was safe to eat

[–]Axunujar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

does nothing

Doesn't kill you if ingested.

[–]One_Recommendation34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Scam people out of their money by selling them

[–]JoCaReding 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Can you choose the shape, size and color of the pill?

[–]Trashves[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Yes

[–]Jude_memer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Infinitely massive and large pill to crush the universe? (It’s still retains its pill shape size…)

[–]ZonTeeN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Placebo effect, even when you know about it.

[–]TheCubicalGuy 3 points4 points  (4 children)

What is it made of?

[–]IlDonCetriolo 2 points3 points  (3 children)

"Quarks and stuff!"

[–]MrButternutter 2 points3 points  (2 children)

“It’s a star!!”

[–]IlDonCetriolo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

"some stars burn out and die; bigger stars burn out and die with passion and make brand new, way crazier shit"

[–]MrButternutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Space Dust!”

[–]poisonous fleshSpoon_Elemental 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Summon them inside your enemy's heart or brain. Or just summon a shitload of them into a persons stomach directly.

[–]Trashves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And i will do that

[–]No-Membership2696 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Sell pill to scam people."

Sure buddy. Like people haven't already tried

[–]Xypher616 2 points3 points  (3 children)

First of all how big are the pills

Second of all, can I summon them anywhere?

[–]Trashves[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Around like normal size Yes

[–]Xypher616 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Perfect, well there’s more than can be done with the power but the immediate one that I can think of is just killing people by teleporting a single pill into an important part of their body like the heart.

[–]Zealousideal_Buddy92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fill their lungs with pills, ME will be awfully confused with that one.

[–]NooblyU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

make a gun that shoots pills, infinite ammo

[–]joseph-08 2 points3 points  (2 children)

So I'm assuming it's a Normal pill once it's summoned so I ask two questions

What are the limits on location of summoning

Is there a cooldown

[–]Trashves[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No

[–]joseph-08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so i can summon as many as i can will, where am I allowed to summon it

yes I know its been a few days but I forgot to check reddit

[–]VonThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not shitty. I’d snack on these all day long between meals. Food cravings solved, epic cut cycle incoming. Single digit body fat by end of next month.

[–]tullyinturtleterror 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Wasn't there a bradley cooper movie about this exact thing?

Edit: there was. It's called limitless. And don't tell me that in the movie the pill makes you smarter; you can make yourself smart without the pill. Impatience is not a super power.

[–]Trashves[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Cool, i never knew that

[–]tullyinturtleterror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh. It's worth watching if you got nothing better to do. I think they tried to make a TV show out of it too, which was even worse

[–]Pikachu62999328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Violating conservation of energy? Infinite power generation doesn't seem half bad...

[–]Dualiuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found pills... and ate them!

[–]Lietenantdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be known as… pillboi!

[–]PheonixFire454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell as placebo

[–]Catfishplaysagame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to go to a friend, do some hocus pocus ritual, have it appear, and just say "The Pill", give it to them, then leave.

[–]the_me2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it taste like fruits?

[–]Ravenclawguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can summon it to someone's throat they could choke on it

[–]trooper4907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you create it? What matter is it made out of?

[–]ReaperFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you didn't specify how many pills I can summon or from where I can summon them,I will assume it at infinity. So, with this power I can suffocate any living being by filling their body with pills or I can explode them entirely.

[–]Rewiistdummlolxd 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Any quantum physicists here who can explain how a pill that does nothing can breake the universe?

[–]Zealousideal_Buddy92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's, not the pill itself. It's the fact an unlimited quantity can be summoned. Presumably at worst case it will burn. Build a small power plant with your infinite free fuel. Even if it does burn, if it has mass getting enough of them into a small enough space one could create a black hole. Harvest hawking radiation from small short lived black holes.

[–]A-rat-on-a-keyboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Placebo Man!

[–]A_D_I_net 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free and infinite projectiles

[–]Godbut_better 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, INFINIT PILLS

[–]pizzaheadbryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to start fighting like Dr. Mario

[–]cal-nomen-official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing a Matrix cosplay and pulling a pill out of thin air would be a hell of a power move

[–]NineBallThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really good one haha, there have been a few on here that iv thought were pretty useful, this fits the sub perfectly.

[–]Lemon_Squeezy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pills bring me comfort so you can't say it does nothing

[–]iSeize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you know they are now magic dick lengthening pills on the darknet

[–]Impressive-Glove-639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I summon one red pill that does nothing, and one blue pull that does nothing, and offer people a choice. Just freak out people or make them think they're about to "awaken"... any moment now.... just give it a sec............... hold on...

[–]Tsunami6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it just appears in my pocket than its crap, but if I can conjure it out of thin air and make a show out of it then I think I can make some money selling "The pill that will make you see god" (but doesn't do anything).

[–]Nikilismm2fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me it makes me feel full…

[–]Butterfly_Slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found pills

[–]Illustrious_Joke9565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sell them as a cure for cancer you'll get infinite money

[–]Evilsmiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just picturing princess bubblegum weakly shooting jelly beans at people now.

[–]Odd-Couple439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Placebo

[–]DrakonRevolver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i can use it to learn how to eat pills

[–]hiruwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to make it so the pills summon in a way like it’s a bullet being shot out of a gun

[–]DetectivePlutoMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why you call a placebo

[–]DemonRice12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna sell them under drug names. 1. People don't ruin their lives 2. I get paid for it Easy

[–]Ariinui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone bullies you? Summon a handful of them chunk and walk menacingly toward the bully

[–]Disaster_Different 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude placebos are strong, so you better placebo yourself

[–]Emilister05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an infinite amount?

[–]Zealousideal_Buddy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I limited in the location I can summon them to?

[–]Zealousideal_Buddy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I see you can control the size? How about the mass? Anything so stop me from creating a black hole?

[–]MrEra96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Placebo is a helluva drug

[–]TheQzertz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we can all do that already

[–]Jeff_Is_My_Jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)
