How solid would the butter in the "cut through like butter" be? If it were something like melted butter...

Things could get quite messy.

If it cut through matter like solid butter, things shouldn't be quite so bad.

1- Nobody cares except for billionaires who want to launch cars into space.

2- World domination, obviously.

3- If knives were made out of butter they wouldn't be able to cut things very well now would they how would we eat steaks hmm?

New gosh-darn hypothetical.

You open your front door this morning to see nothing but empty blackness. Your home building has been suspended in a void. Everyone living in your home building has been replaced by a Bay 12 member. Air doesn't seem to be a problem, but what about everything else?

If you could choose one item from the Bizarre Magical Items thread to have in your possession, what would it be?

Bonus: You may choose to have three items instead, but if you do, three items will be randomly selected from the thread and dumped in the White House, your bedroom, and the Moon.

Escalator: This magical amulet makes the user escalate any situation.
Quick Buck: A dollar that enhances its owner's salesmanship ability to absurd levels. Those who have been sold to will realize their idiocy after a few hours, and inevitably sue(or take things to an even worse level).
Intrest:
This is a simple silver coin which creates an exact copy of itself once every second, which will then start making it's own copies. If any of the coins are melted down or otherwise stop being coins, they lose the magical effect and become inert silver. Side effects of this item may include making silver valueless.


Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Welp.

Exponential growth is not going to end well. Sure, you can sell the Intrest coins with the Quick Buck. But you've basically doomed the world unless one of the random items is the Wand of Anti-Self-Replication.

*rolls*

The White House gets a glass of milk that has +1 to attack.

Trump: "Just this morning, I found a glass of milk in my bedroom!"

*rolls*

You get a Wing of Flight. Not Wings, Wing.

You: "Maybe I can sell it?"

*rolls*

A fork appears on the Moon. It's immune to being imploded.

The U.N: "Who put a fork up there! How did we not notice!"

I guess the world is doomed to suffocate under silver, then.

Everyone: "The coins! The coins!"

Economist: "So much for the value of silver."

Trump: "Who cares about the value of silver, we're all going to be crushed under a pile of coins! Should've put more money into NASA!"

Reminder that though Interest grows quickly, it's not unstoppable, because the coin will stop replicating itself if it is, say, crushed under a massive amount of silver coins.

All humans will die long before coins stop being replicated.

The best answer is to launch lots of nukes at the center of the coinpocalypse ASAP. Maybe Trump is actually the best president to deal with the Silvergularity?

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Even nukes won't be able to stop it. Assuming that the coins are spread out evenly over the Earth so that no coins overlap, it would take just under a minute for the coins to cover the entire surface of the Earth.

Though that's probably a pretty bad assumption to make, and we're not even accounting for the coins dropping into the ocean...

I sense that I'm about to go on a calculating spree to find out just how long it takes for the world to end in this scenario.

Eh, it starts with one coin in one place. The moment the silver engulfs an area the size of a small town trigger happy trump will launch the nukes and glass the area. Problem solved. Unless some coins at the outskirts are blasted away but not destroyed in which case problem massively accelerated.

Just in case anyone is wondering I don't support trump I'm a canadian socialist.
