Eh, who knows what side effects there might be to that, or how much it will cost from the magical hypothetical-giver. I'd rather stick with the normal human planned obsolescence. At least that way I know roughly what I'm getting.

You can give a command to the entire people's of the Earth. Conditions:

1. The command can only be done once. If you were to say "Everyone on Earth must give me a back rub", once somebody gives you a back rub, they've completed your command. Strictly one time order. Order cannot be stretched out over time intentionally, no exploits for infinite duration can be used. Once the order is given, it will be completed as time efficiently as possible.

2. You can specify sub groups of humanity. So if say, you wanted "All comedians on Earth must go to my house to do a live stand up show" only people who can justify the status of comedian will be affected. Naturally, you'd have to argue what classifies a comedian, going by that example.

3. Command will not affect you.

What's your order?

Pretty sure you've just ordered the mass suicide of the human race apart from extremely submissive people.

I mean, if that's what you intended, that's great.

If you've committed a felony and haven't been caught, turn yourself in to the police peacefully.

A massive portal opens in New York City. Technologically advanced aliens spill out and demand a blood sacrifice. Literally. A sacrifice of ten thousand gallons of human blood. They then put you in charge of acquiring that blood. How do you go about this?

If they dont demand them with a time by just packing their way expired units.

If they demand them at once, you don't, as there is not enough human blood to comply with the request

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.
