Ask Lemmy

Burn the baguettes to boil water that spins a turbine that generates electricity.

I assassinate people by summoning baguettes in their lungs.

Enter a homeless shelter each morning. Do my thing. Walk out a richer man than I was when I walked in.

Not all gain is monetary

Croutons! I start up a crouton factory!

I eat a lot of French toast.

My kids get breakfast on demand.

Feeding the homeless.

And if you park in the bike lane with your window open, you're getting a very crumby backseat.

If the ability has some range, become the weirdest assassin ever as I summon baguettes inside folks windpipes, lungs, hearts, and/or skulls.

Being only slightly stale isn't an issue at all, especially when it comes to sustenance to stay alive. Setting personal gain aside, have people pay you to travel to Bumfuck, Africa. Make it rain infinite slightly stale baguettes. Solve their hunger, at least for a while, and build a composting facility to create mass amounts of compost out of tons of slightly stale baguettes. Feed their livestock tons of slightly stale baguettes.

Travel to Bumfuck, India. Make it rain infinite slightly stale baguettes. Solve their hunger, at least for a while, and build a composting facility to create mass amounts of compost out of tons of slightly stale baguettes. Feed their livestock tons of slightly stale baguettes.

I'm sure you could reach out to many impoverished countries of the world, say hey you pay for my travel, my food & lodging, and pay me $200K (or whatever they can afford) and I'll make slightly stale baguettes rain down from the fucking sky and they'll gladly take you up on that offer. If they're smart.

World hunger, solved. Deserts covered with multiple feet of fertile, composted bread-soil. And as others have said, French toast & other foods forever. Plus if you work it right, you could get paid to travel the world & enrich the nations with your talent.

There are a surprising number of people who have indicated that they would use their baguette summoning powers to carry out assassinations. Here's me thinking "damn I could honestly help out in countries that are struggling, with this power" like the simpleton I am.

I don’t use it for personal gain.

I give away infinite free bread, and get arrested and jailed forever.

Slightly stale? It does sounds like i can steam it back up and then use it to do other recipe. Make Garlic bread with it is great, or cube it then bake it until crunchy, then toss it into mushroom soup as topping.

Ah damn. They stopped the Challenge where you get 1 Million USD if you can prove you have Paranormal Powers.

Pass myself off as Jesus Christ

No more giving money to homeless people. You get a stale baguette. Best of luck to you.

.... I'd summon a few billion directly overlapping the physical space of a corrupt politician. If outdoors, in a tall column directly above, preferably several tons worth per capita.

Some choice people from this list I have would also receive a suborbital baguette infusion.

The downside is trying to deal with the stale fallout and subsequent mess the pummeled flesh and dough would leave after... Birds everywhere would go nuts.

I was thinking I could open a restaurant focusing on pain perdu (basically french toast)

Can I summon the baguette out of the thin air inside someone's lungs? Cos that's basicly a free kill anyone wherever, whenever. U can rule the wold with that power.

The cats nestle close to their kittens now.

The lambs have laid down with the sheep.

You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear.

Please don’t the fuck go blind by making moonshine with your daily staley.

I'd make a fuckload of croutons

omg FRENCH ONION SOUP EVERYDAY

Oh that's easy: sell it at an outrageous price in upscale North American restaurants as authentic "pain Francais".

I become king of Dad Jokes.

-Dream transition effect-

-Clears throat to someone-

What do you do after getting your groceries?

-summons baguette-

You baguette !

🥖

Become a French toast master

Can it be a 1 tonne baguette I would summon directly above someone's head?

Unlimited garlic bread, yay!

So.. how thin does it air have to be? Does it only work on a mountain top? Are tastebuds affected by low air pressure?

I contact every James Randi-type paranormal debunker that I can find and explain my power to them. I agree to all of their terms and agree to demonstrate it to them under whatever tightly controlled absolutely perfectly sterile conditions they want.

And I do it for them, claim my prize money, and continue on with my life.

My power is to summon a baguette, not unlimited baguettes, so I gotta make that one count and I think that's my best to get the most bang for my buck.

Or if I get to decide where exactly that baguette is summoned to, perhaps I will have it spring into existence occupying the same space as [REDACTED]'s brain stem. Having them out of the picture would greatly enrich my life.

Open up a breading buisness. Turn the stale bread into breading and sell it at half the price of the competition.

I'll put some spicy chicken, turkey or other meat with some onions and garlic, hot out of the frying pan, maybe some hot sauce or gravy and some salad on the bread. Wrap with aluminium foil and leave it for a few minutes. Nice soft bread again...

Figure out a way to burn it completely and cleanly. Infinite power.
But I guess it depends on how long it takes to magic out of thin air.
If I could do millions per second, I might be able to get some time off. If it was 1 per second, then not really viable.
Although would add carbon to the environment (as opposed to unlocking millennia old carbon).

So, feed those that need fed. I guess

I say "this is for the birds"... and I give unlimited free bread to the birds outside.
