Sunlight.

Increase the amount of all toxic substances humans must ingest to suffer negative health effects from those toxins by 1% (you must now consume 101% the normal doctor-recommended dose of lead/mercury/alcohol/whatever to kill yourself! Hurray!)

Somewhere, an assassination plot failed miserably and no one knows why.

Every substance is toxic in sufficient quantities, though. The dose makes the poison.

Even if you apply this to money you get crazy payouts. 1% a day is 35% a month. Meaning your wealth multiplies by 37.8 times every year.



Actually everything you increase is 37.8 times as large after one year.....

True, but that has no ill effects on the intended result.

Sadly, it is not the only issue to consider with this... You can't overdose on your medication now, but if it was supposed to work by interfering with some process of the body, it will now be a really expensive placebo. Damn tired me!

Thankfully, antibiotics still work; the bacteria still die; they are not human, but you won't.

Has anyone thought about applying this power to the day itself?

Increase my killing power by one% and become a badass fucking killing machine running at 101% power with the goals in mind to kill all the life extenders and cowards of death, quickly bringing them what they hide from.
I would only need the one percent. I would forsake it after using it once.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Increase the value of pi by 1% would be even better.

I have a feeling changes involving numbers would be retroactive. It changes the structure of the universe, and so everything derived from that suddenly experiences things like they've already been that way.

Increase the strength of the gravitational force by 1%.

THAT would fuck shit up. And then some.

Increase the number of human-inhabilted planets by 1%

Within three months that's 2 planets, and past 35 planets in a year.

Now would that mean humans are spontaneously appearing on inhabitable planets, we vastly speed up colonizing planets, or planets with humans are spontaneously appearing?
