If I had that technology, I would upload everything available on file. The common fictional notion that you could "fill up" your brain is wrong.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Sex probably
My first thought was also languages, but all the classes for a bachelors in nuclear engineering would be nice. Huge passion of mine and I can't really pursue a degree at this point in my life
Mind control.
Having a strong speech skill. I'll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.
Math, specifically gambling.
How to speak Japanese. I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Tell me it doesn't use alien DNA like In Prey (2017)
"I know how to make piles of money while sitting on my ass" (without being a psychopathic CEO, a crypto bro or a "fintech" con artist, for the sake of not hating myself)
Then I can use my money to buy the services of anybody who has the other abilities I need while still sitting on my ass, and feel good providing employment at the same time.
The problem is luck plays an enormous role in whether or not a company fails or makes bank. This is how we end up with idiots who become hundred-millionaires or billionaires. Though being savvy helps improve your chances.
If you're good at playing the dailies, you will inevitably go bust, possibly while owning a bunch of rotting commodities that didn't sell in time, but once you have a reputation friends will lend you money to get back on your feet (which you pay back with interest.)
"Contract management", I think it's called.
You hire the services of one factory or laboratory to do your manufacture and packaging, another company for distribution and marketing, another for accounting, etc. You can build a good-sized company with one employee: You, the owner.
