    Lets see how imaginative boards can get.
    If you had the ability to see two seconds into the future what could you accomplish?

    The easiest thing for everyone to say is become rich by gambling. Thats too easy.

    Id probably become the greatest boxer of all time having had no training or muscle at all :D

    Would 2 seconds future sight be the equivalent of being able to slow down time?

    I wouldn't have opened this thread, anyway.

    Nothing

    I'd jinx everyone by saying the same thing that they say at the same time. I would demand a random to unjinx them.

    2 seconds doesn't really give you enough time to accomplish anything. Could u even make a bet that would be processed in time?

    I'd be the ultimate Shagger!!

    How would gambling work

    Lets say you want to play BlackJack, so it's your turn, you are on a 16 and you want to know if you should hit or stick. So you look two seconds into the future and now you see a 10, but if then chose not to take the 10, the future changes so you can no longer see it.

    This is a paradox if ever I saw one.

    I'm already working 2 seconds behind time at the moment so it will only bring me up to speed.

    How do you work that out?

    Surely you'd see yourself getting knocked out, a lot 2 seconds before it actually happens.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Very stingy with yer 2 seconds, bloody hell! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,421 ✭✭✭major bill


    have to say though being able to see 2 seconds into the future is a pretty ****ty superpower to have, can't see Marvel buying into it anytime soon!! 5 seconds and you might have a thread :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I wouldn't be able to differentiate between now and the future so would go bonkers rapidly.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    yeah if ur opponent threw a combination longer than 2 seconds you'd be concentrating on the dodging the first strike while trying to process what you're seeing 2 seconds into the future to dodge that 2 seconds from now!! You'd be good at top trumps tho

    I would got to play Fallout 4 a whole two seconds before anyone else


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    So are you seeing the two seconds at the same time as you're seeing now or are you only seeing two seconds into the future because in the latter case you'd just feel super laggy :p

    Two seconds would be enough for you to say oh s*^& two seconds earlier.

    Two seconds would have given me enough time to close the curtains before my mother passed by the bedroom window and caught me knocking one out :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭dilallio


    I'd pull out in time ...

    This option gives You nothing if talking about everyday routine. Could be helpful to prevent accidents or crashes in some cases.

    Being able to see two seconds into the future wouldn't help in boxing at all. A boxer could hit you half a dozen times in the space of 2 seconds anmd even knowing the punch is coming doesn't mean you can react quickly enough to get out of the way. Unless you have cardio you've no place being in a boxing ring, throwing punches is a lot harder than it looks.

    It's better than no superpower! Think of it - you'd probably never trip over again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 966 ✭✭✭equivariant


    I would apply recursion and then be able to see arbitrarily far into the future.

    Probably nothing as you'd also need to have the brain capable of processing immediate data (which everyone has) and immediate plus 2 seconds data and the ability to make decisions quickly (which some people have). It would be UBER multi tasking. Women would rule the world!
