Theres no death note community to post this in so… here we go…
(Btw, how many names do you think you can fit on there?)
Start at the top of the Forbes billionaire list and fit as many names as I can
Bruh thats wayy too obvious. You’re gonna cause martial law being declared world-wide, the problem wouldn’t be solved.
What exactly is obvious? The cops are not going to jump to death note being real and there’s basically zero identifying information in the choice of billionaires.
I think you could just straight up get away with it if you stuck to publicly known individuals like that tbh
They would think some secret revolutionary group is somehow poisoning them without being detected, and thus justify martial law in order to stop the “rebellion”.
Sounds like someone wants their name added to the list
Sounds like you get a bunch of generals who conceal their identities to rule their country by decree.
Like, if:
Identity known = Dead
Identity unknown = Still alive
They will deduce that this “rebel group” can only kill if their target’s identity is known.
So they’ll end up having secret junta meetings, and a spokesperson wearing a ski mask.
Every country would do this.
It’d be chaotic totalitarian world.
Worth it.
Ah, okay. Now I get you, lol.
First thing, I’m buying the finest fineliner I can, go for 4-6 columns on the page.
Then I’m writing in billionaires, one a week, after making them cosign a suicide note that the deaths will stop once wealth distribution flattens the fuck out, there’s a full UBI everywhere and fossil fuels are history.
Just because the billionaires are dead doesn’t mean their wealth automatically distributes through the population though. Their kids/spouses get it first and who knows what their intentions are going to be.
Inheritees are probably going to feel disincentivized to hold on to anywhere close to a billion dollars for themselves, I’d imagine, so there’s that at least
If billionaires are literally dropping by the week, I think billionaires would actually be forced to do something about it, i.e. not be billionaires anymore or face the mystery “Billionaire Heart Attack” that’s been spreading.
Or get a special law passed that allows them to conceal their identity.
I don’t think it’d be easy to hide your identity unless its already non-public. Even just a single photo could locate someone nowadays
Not now, it would become that way though if this went on long enough
You’ll have a tough time fitting the details of each suicide onto one page, for more than a few dozen folks.
Elon, a starlink fell. A hole for his boots
‘as above’
Dont go too thin on the pen tip. A slightly thicker pen line but one that doesnt skip or fail is better than slightly thinner lines due to wasting space on ruining what you are writing. This depends on how the death note page works specifically but having to write it down all at once might be a necessary part of how it would work.
The thinnest you will find will likely be the gel ink Signo 0.18mm tipped pens, they are notorious for skipping/failing and being basically useless once they start doing that, so buy MANY pens if you can find them. I believe they are discontinued so you may have to bribe people to part with them.
There are some really good pens in the .25 to .38
Muji pens ive seen recommended multiple times.
Ive used 0.38 purple pentel pens, the tip is quite sharp and has cut through paper if you go too fast or too hard. You said fineliner so a marker style tip may prevent that danger, though i dont think you can get those in extremely small tip sizes
This depends on how the death note page works specifically but having to write it down all at once might be a necessary part of how it would work.
Former Death Note nerd here, this isn’t an issue, there are several points where names are written out letter by letter or left unfinished to complete later
Nerds are awesome, thank you
Write in pencil.
You’re gonna need a lot of apples.
My first thought always goes for the bezos of the world but my immediate second thought is always about them undoubtedly having a legacy planned for passing their money to the next bezo. So then what’s the point?
Can’t do the US Supreme Court people I don’t like right now either.
I don’t personally have any one I’d write in.
Fuck it, I’m writing in Elon Musk.
Money dilutes really fast after inheritance. Not only is the value distributed to a handful of people, but the income potential is reduced, as most the stock value is tied to that person being alive.
Chatgpt suggests that with a 0.3mm tip pen, and writing letters no more than 2mm x 2mm, you could fit roughly 1000 names per side of an a4 sheet.
So if you’re fine with the default means of killing, and use both sides of the paper, you could take out about 2000 people.
As far as how I would personally use it? I’d put down maybe two or three names per month. I don’t have the greatest fine motor skills around, so I could fit maybe 250 names per side at most.
Who would I target? Idk. My first thought would be people like Putin & Kim Jong Un, but the concern there is if those two chucklefucks suddenly die, their countries will descend into chaos and there’s no telling what will happen to their nukes.
If erasable writing methods don’t work, create a sheet document, set font size to 1 and reduce line spacing to its limits. Prepare the entirety of the list in advance without revealing anything; and print them all at once using a printer that works fully offline.
If the death sheet’s output does not satisfy me, maybe I would consider doing that again to its back side. Though it likely would satisfy me.
What’s the Death Note?
Basically write a name on a piece of paper and then they die. You can also choose the manner of their death if I remember right
Neat! Thank you
There’s a live action movie version Netflix did not too long ago if manga/anime isn’t your thing. It’s not the greatest but you might enjoy it anyways and there’s always the source material to go to after if you enjoy it enough to go deeper
A Japanese Manga and Anime from the 90s and 00s. It’s a story about a kid who gets ahold of a notebook capable of anonymously killing people.
Whats Anime?
I’d start testing to see what the restrictions are on the note - for example, could you get Thiel to give all his money away and then end himself? If there aren’t many restrictions you could say “Netanyahu, by nuclear weapon, at the Davos summit in 2025” in order to take out a whole bunch of the ruling class at once.
The other thing I’d try is writing “Elon Musk, guillotined by a revolutionary communist government made from the population of the former United States” to see if I could get regime change to happen.
I don’t know if I’m remembering the plot correctly but I think you can control the actions of only the target individual and only in a way that’s reasonably possible
You are only able to specifically control the actions of the named target, but their death can involve another person.
Ie you can say “so and so gets hit by a bus” and a random bus nearby will hit them, but you cannot say “so and so is killed by such and such” and have the second person kill the first. I believe both people die of a heart attack if you try.
Reverse the overton window.
Does it have to be names, or can it be entire species?
I hope you are thinink of mosquitos, and if so make sure to only pick the ones that bite humans. There are a lot of other species that don’t.
(I know which species you really mean)
Ok, mosquitoes are on number 2, number 1 is panda’s for sure. Fuck them wannabe land orca’s being so dumb, they going backwards in evolution by eating the least nutricions food ever out there (next to McDonald’s and other junkfood) while being a fucking bear. And then the odacity to be a political pawn for China, fucking disgusting. I’m a vegan because I love animals and am against animal abuse, so this says something coming from me.
I change number 2 to humans, bats need to eat too, they love mosquitoes and bats are cute AF.
That’s my list. If anyone has extra names which couldn’t fit on their list, I sell spots on my list for dead panda heads. I know, unnecessary when they are are on my list, but better to be sure.
land orca
Thank you for the new panda nickname!
“Fake wannabe” land orca! Orca’s are amazing creatures, intelligent, beautiful. Everything a panda never was and definitely never will be.
Why do you think pinguïns started to live on Antarctica. They don’t want to be associated with pandas. Even pinguïns with their cute wiggle know how to wear the black and white like a fucking boss. During the forever dark winters they huddle together with -45°C to protect each other from freezing while a panda hangs himself “again” because he fell out of a tree “again” and got stuck “again”.
I have a song for you.
What a masterpiece! Thank you
Does it follow Death Note rules? Because I am not having my name written by no dadgum shinnygammy man
You don’t own any death notes, you just get a A4 sized sheet of it. You don’t even get a shinigami. You just randomly find the sheet one day and you just (by convienience of the plot) immediately know what it is and all the rules once you touch it.
Wipe my arse with it so all the shits of the world die.
Putin falls to his death from an open window.
I’d burn it. I’m not a murderer. Having a way to murder someone doesn’t make me want to do it.
If you burn it, or fail to use it, someone you briefly thought maybe should go on the list gets to use it
?? I didn’t “briefly think” to write any name, it goes straight to the gas stove.
I’m a bit of a Buddhist myself, but knowing that I stopped billions from suffering for ending the lives of a few evil people, I could do it.
I could do it with my bare hands.
Putin
Trump
Kim Jong Un
Netanyahu
All heart attacks, all at the same time. Play like Light except with world leaders. Undoubtedly I’m missing many, but I could add as needed. Minimal text size to leave space.
No public statements so I’m harder to trace. Then I save the page. If a world leader pulls some horrendous shit, down they go.
It would be flawed for the same reasons Light is, and it would be biased to my viewpoints, but I don’t care. I cannot imagine the world would be a worse place with those people dead. And eventually people would spot the pattern and then leaders might think twice.
Although for the planet overall maybe it’d be better to use it for eco-terrorism
I really like this one. Maybe it would scare leaders to not become corrupt scum of the earth. Saving it for people who impact the most lived makes the most sense to me.
Most-importantly, don’t also go kill anyone that says you’re evil, just to stoke your ego.
Yeah and the same if someone is chasing/suspecting you. They would never be able to prove anything if you don’t make a mistake or draw attention to yourself. Also helpful that L is fictional
Add to it that they evacuate their bowels and are alive long enough to suffer embarrassment.
You’ve left off the upcoming president of the United States, Elon Musk
Don’t you have to be a natural born citizen for that?
For the formal title, yes. To have the power, you just need a bunch of money and a weak, easily-manipulated man to do what you say.
And he should get run over by an unmanned Tesla, just to drive the point home.
