      better yet, take one pill every few minutes or so you fuck them over on and off for much longer. a 15 second outage probably takes a lot of systems serious recovery time and causes data loss

      better yet cut each pill into 7 or 8 pieces so you have 750 pills that shut it down for 2 seconds. take one every few minutes a couple dozen times a day for the next month until amazon goes bankrupt and many lines go down

        AWS is widespread enough that this would likely kill people. Medical solutions having AWS infra alone could do it.

          warn them. before taking your first pill, fly to russia and post a manifesto somewhere, saying you will shut down x major server at x time on x day, and then another server, and then another, until AWS continually as your ultimate goal. when all your threats come true, industries will take you seriously and be mostly prepared. you’ll be like communist light yagami

            So your doctor writes you a prescription. How do you want the prescription to get to the pharmacy?

            • Carry it with you in person (excludes telehealth)
            • Fax (many pharmacies use this)
            • Internet (pharmacies are generally moving to this)

            Choose one

    I choose a stack of red pills. I make a list of websites owned by wealthy companies with high uptime metrics, and I start taking the first few red pills. After the website has been down for a brief time, I send a ransom note demanding bitcoin payment or else I threaten to take the website off-line indefinitely and demonstrating my power in 15 second intervals at scheduled times. Collect ransom payments and live a life of luxury. Also works with core websites upon which the military industrial complex relies. They don’t know I only have 100 pills.

    Instacum pill. Present myself as an eccentric inventor-chemist to get investor backing using a portion of the pills to prove my claims. Reap tons of VC funding for an industry-disrupting invention. Use some of that funding to try to reverse engineer the pill via mass spectrometry and all that. If it works, great! I now have a big business with which to fund global communism. If not, I can probably still vibe by saying the formula has unexpected side effects and shut things down. even if the company goes bankrupt I’d still have whatever I paid myself as a salary. Worst case scenario I could fuck off to a country that won’t extradite me

    Basically Theranosmaxxing

    Shut down a website for 15 seconds, get fired with cause. Snore like a cartoon tonight. Receive 1 orange mailed to you. Estrogen, cum instantly, cum in 24 hours.

    That seems just like an average day for someone.

    You’ve heard of the kids who dosed their teacher with LSD but what does the mean English teacher do when he gets a yellow pill in his coffee every morning at school

      The pill’s effect works on the coffee, not the teacher, and the bewildered teacher is wondering why his coffee sets off his hayfever

    black and red pill are both probably the most powerful for self interested ends, but the orange pill and grey pills allow for the most reality bending of situations.

    I’d probably go for the black pill, make good documentation of working somewhere and making no mistakes, then trying to sue the company that fired me if I can find a reason to.

    If I were much braver, I could use the Red Pill to act as a technoprophet or to blackmail large portions of the tech industry (they just have to believe I can permanently black them out on command, the fact that I only have 100 of them is more than enough to make them believe it), but alas, I am not nearly brave enough to try and pull a stunt like that.
