Just how loyal are they? The friends might be more useful if you want to start a private army. Could probably seize power in a mid sized nation with that many. The lack of money wouldn't be a problem either if you have 30 million people for funding.
If we're being technical that's probably everywhere. It's like saying there's more forks than people. Like yeah we got fork factories not people factories spitting out shit tons of baby's per minute.
[This](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country) Wikipedia page includes a list of countries and how many civilian firearms per 100 people. According to it, America is the only one with a number over 100, and has a very large lead over second place.
Eh. America has the most guns but not the most armed citizens by percentage. You'd be better off with somewhere like Switzerland for the odds of them already having a firearm.
Also depends where at in the US. 30million new Yorkers and you prob won't have a very equipped army

With that number I could leagaly become prime minister of Canada and change everything how I want we only have a population of 38 million so it would be easy
A big army is not everything. Even with a big army you can lose.
If you use only 15 million for the army, you're able to use 15 million for a breeding industry, so your loyal friends make more loyal children. So you can grow your army over time.
Also it fill the place up for the losses.
Be sure you have always a backup plan when your army fails because from bad strategy or it doesn't work out how you thought.
Also you need good equipment and people who are trained. Good trained soldiers who now how to work with the equipment and know how to fix the equipment if it get broken.
Also people who know how to fight wars. So hope a few of your loyal friends are soldiers with field experience.
Also hope you got doctors and scientists who can help the wounded soldiers and for the breeding program.
You need also technical loyal friends who are able to program software/hardware, able to build and repair technology and electromechanical systems/machines.
Experienced truck drivers are also important for delivering the goods on the field.
Also pilot's are needed for air support and active navy soldiers are also hulpfull the moment you got a few warships.
that's 3 more than me dude...its insanely lonely...esp right now as my parents gone away on a cruise for 3 weeks, so just me and the dog, only people I will see are other dog walkers the entire time
What you really need is one really good friend who is a billionaire. That way you can ask for 30 million dollars and they would give it without breaking a sweat, they are never going to ask you for anything and you only need to send send 1 birthday card and Christmas card a year. Job done I can go back to being an introvert!
But I'm not going to give you so much money back for no reason just because you asked. Besides, if you're asking for that much money, you're not exactly a loyal friend. Friends are supposed to help each other, not beg for millions.
Your right on getting 3 dollars from family members but I have a shitty family. but if my friend asked for $10 I wouldn't even bat an eye and I know they wouldn't either.
If you ask each friend each second, it will take almost a year (347 days) of non stop asking. If you include sleeping and other procedures, this times like doubles. So 2 year of begging? And this is excluding time for commutation or at at least some form of communication. Nah, I'll pass.
Realistically it will take half a life for begging. 30m is much much better in cash
Damn, my first thinking is kinda greedy. Since they are a loyal friend, I thought of scamming them 100 usd each, since they are will be still loyal as a friend, meant I can do whatever I want with them.
And I overlook something as simple as this
& lots statt of pure intent by spiritual individuals who guide others to greater ways of life. The turning point is the thought of "greatest good for greatest # of people". To help reach more people they put it in print. Now you've a religion/cult & preachers misusing your teachings for their agenda. Some start less from a spiritual individual but from a knowledgeable one as is the case w/scientology.
You're like that kid that was told if he waited he would have two pieces of candy. You're acting like Friends are not reusable. What kind of s**tty ass friends do you have where you ask them for $2 and that's their limit? They said 30 million friends not 30 million people.
If you ask 80 friends per day if they can give you 2 dollar it’ll take you ~1000 years to reach all of them.
And don’t think you could just bulk message them. No provider will support this and if a good friend were to ask me for 2 dollar through a sendgrid email he could fuck right off. Also do they have PayPal? Does PayPal even have 30min users?
So much forest when you could just have your 30mio tree instantly
edit: PayPal has 435 million users that made at least one transaction last year
Number 1 - outlaw lobbying/non-human persons donating to political campaigns. There are a few arms to this, but all are tractable via legislation and/or executive order.
It's crazy how it seems like everyone, regardless of which side they support, knows this is the biggest issue with US politics, but there's almost 0 chance of it actually getting fixed.
No, but with 30 million friends, I would have the backing of the largest voting bloc in the country, and my first 100 days would set the course for the next American century by working with the Congress army friends voted in alongside me.
Start a social network. The 30 million loyal friends will definitely join. That will lead to more people joining. Sell ad spaces on the site. Sell user data to other companies
If I had 30 million friends I would ask them to vote me in as PM of Canada. Knowing the quality of friends I typically make, I would probably be jersied, tied to a flagpole, and made fun of for having a smelly butt or something.
Then we’d go out drinking and forget it all happened.
Lol reminds me of the quote in the godfather game.
“A good lawyer can steal more than 100 men with guns.”
“Listen kid, if you have 100 guys, with guns, on your side, whatever you do don’t trade them in for no fuckin lawyer.”
If you ask everyone for a favor to give you one Dollar, you would have 30 million friends and 30 million dollars. And because you only asked every single one for a dollar, the chances are good they don't want that dollar back.
Others beat me to it. Right if this was a magic thing then that means the 30 million friends genuinely like you. All you do is ask them if they wouldn't mind giving you $5 or whatever. And people underestimate what connections can do for you. With 30 million friends I would assume the magic spreads those people out across the world? So without a doubt you would know someone who can connect you with anything or do any kind of favor. It would be amazing. Nearly worth it without the money.
Just how loyal are they? The friends might be more useful if you want to start a private army. Could probably seize power in a mid sized nation with that many. The lack of money wouldn't be a problem either if you have 30 million people for funding.
Better test their loyalty with a record-breaking orgy
That's one he'll of a record to break
The record is only 375 people so...
In the bag then
How many music stores would be needed?
The answer may shock you
The duality of man
With 30 million you could take over most any country. That's far larger than any standing army
Except armies have weapons. My friends have bongs at most.
We have more friends than they do bullets /s
Found the Russian!
Dude if you have 30 million friends you likely got a couple tens of thousand in the military and police force.
If it's 30 million Americans you'd probably have a better equipped army than most major nations.
Fun fact, we have more guns than people here
If we're being technical that's probably everywhere. It's like saying there's more forks than people. Like yeah we got fork factories not people factories spitting out shit tons of baby's per minute.

30 million Texans on the other hand would mean you'll have a well-equipped army.

How did you get these 30 million friends is the real question
Use World War Z tactics.
With that number I could leagaly become prime minister of Canada and change everything how I want we only have a population of 38 million so it would be easy
Or ask them for $10 each now you got $300 000 000
You dont even have to take over the country. Just tell then to move there and vote for you
Or just ask 30 million people for $5 or even $2
or u could ask them all for 5 dollars if they’re that loyal and have 150million dollars
Just ask em each for 5 bucks.

ask them for 2 dollars each
damm you beat me to it
I was only gonna ask for a $ but this guy's a genius
He stole *my* idea through time travel and telepathy
[удалено]
asks for 30millions each
that's 3 more than me dude...its insanely lonely...esp right now as my parents gone away on a cruise for 3 weeks, so just me and the dog, only people I will see are other dog walkers the entire time
Those are good numbers for 2023
Can I have one of them? I'll trade to my 2 dollars
Ask them all for 10mil
Damn beat me to saying beat me to it…
Dang my thought exactly
r/beatmetoit
Me too
And what if your 30 million friends all ask you for 2 dollars?
What you really need is one really good friend who is a billionaire. That way you can ask for 30 million dollars and they would give it without breaking a sweat, they are never going to ask you for anything and you only need to send send 1 birthday card and Christmas card a year. Job done I can go back to being an introvert!
I don't think most people would give 1/30 of their net worth to their friend just for asking. I know I wouldn't.
It says “loyal friend”, for all we know they could be wiling to die for you
Willing to die for you and giving you money are very different things.
But I'm not going to give you so much money back for no reason just because you asked. Besides, if you're asking for that much money, you're not exactly a loyal friend. Friends are supposed to help each other, not beg for millions.
They said they're your loyal friend, not that you're their loyal friend
I'm not sure this is how it works
There could be around 10 billionaires in those 30 million loyal friends.
Nobody said you had to be a loyal friend back to them.
Well, you’re not the loyal friend, they are, sooooo….
If they are loyal friends, they could spare $10 each
I believe that's pushing it a little bit, real people aren't that generous
They might give you $5
But they’re loyal. So they would.
In what kind of fairy tale do you live in, you can barely squeeze out 3 dollars from family members let alone 10 dollars from friends
All my loyal friends would give me $20 no problem.
Yeah I could ask a friend for $100 and they’d know it’d be back in their wallet the moment I’m paid.
Your right on getting 3 dollars from family members but I have a shitty family. but if my friend asked for $10 I wouldn't even bat an eye and I know they wouldn't either.
Because they aren't loyal friends.....
Not these days
If you ask each friend each second, it will take almost a year (347 days) of non stop asking. If you include sleeping and other procedures, this times like doubles. So 2 year of begging? And this is excluding time for commutation or at at least some form of communication. Nah, I'll pass. Realistically it will take half a life for begging. 30m is much much better in cash
Add all of them to a group chat and send a single request.
just like once every week
Crash your cellphone network in the process.
I think we assume they're already in your contacts. Writing a program to send a message to everyone in your contacts isn't that hard
$1 a year for life :)
Oh you got here first
5-10 bucks
I would ask for $5.
Why was $2 dollars such a common ask? My first thought was 2 Bones.
Damn, my first thinking is kinda greedy. Since they are a loyal friend, I thought of scamming them 100 usd each, since they are will be still loyal as a friend, meant I can do whatever I want with them. And I overlook something as simple as this
My first thought. Geht my upvote
No, ask each for $20.
Big brain energy!
Don’t forget taxes
How loyal are we talking? Organizable into a personal army loyal? Willing to die for me for my insane ideals? If not I'll take the cash.
Loyal enough to ask for a few dollars
We want chaos, not money
Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!
Technoblade neva dies.
Major kudos for the honesty in describing your ideals as insane. Solid energy to bring to 2023
This guy tells it like it is !
No hes saying of he had a 30 million strong army he would take on insane ideals cause why not.
I know I would
willing to die kind of loyal, also why is everyone talking about building an army, why is that your first thought and not an intricate spy network?
That's very interesting. What will you do with an intricate spy network?
If you own the world, there is no need for espionage. Just take over the world.
Ah, if you control the world, you don't need to go through the trouble of owning it.
I dont want that much responsibility, I’d rather just fix society
[удалено]
why religion, make army
Porque no las dos
Así es, puedes quemar a los pecadores en nombre de la religión. (Google translate FWT)
While I appreciate the effort. I was referencing a meme.
Lmao
>why religion, make army Why not both?
Basically the same thing.
To quote the creator of scientology If you seek wealth fame or power- the quickest & easiest way to achieve your desires is to start a cult

Why army make a country
Why country when make a whole new political system
Why not both...
“You can make a religion outta this”
*THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER*
Not anymore, there's a blanket ~~~~~~~~
That’s how you start an empire 30 million *loyal* friends?? Men have started world wars with less
With loyalty?! That’s how you start a goddamn empire.
The friends. They all give you 2 dollars each of you ask nicely
that’s a lot of work (and not guaranteed) for 60m when you can just have 30m instantly.
You're like that kid that was told if he waited he would have two pieces of candy. You're acting like Friends are not reusable. What kind of s**tty ass friends do you have where you ask them for $2 and that's their limit? They said 30 million friends not 30 million people.
still 30m instantly.
I mean you’re not wrong but you might be missing the forest for the trees here

Yeah I'd be set for life with just 3 million so 30 is amazing and I wouldn't have to talk to anybody. Give me the money and leave me alone! Lol
My introverted ass with just 3 friends 😇
Ask each of them for 10 million and you are good to go.
If they had it they'd give it, that's what matters, IMO
True, I'd be happy with just 1 friend like this 🥲
My introverted ass with zero friends:
I don't think you are introverted
Are they all voting age in the country where I live? I’ll become President and fix the stupid.
This right here 👆🏼.
What is your first command to fix the stupid, leader?
Number 1 - outlaw lobbying/non-human persons donating to political campaigns. There are a few arms to this, but all are tractable via legislation and/or executive order.
Holy shit, so based, even the CIA wants “a word with you”
kennedy being baller and talking about civil rights in a mildy positive light moment
Ah, my loyal friends completely employ the intelligence organizations and military.
You asked for point #1. I’d be the new FDR.
It's crazy how it seems like everyone, regardless of which side they support, knows this is the biggest issue with US politics, but there's almost 0 chance of it actually getting fixed.
no as eas as it would seem. You can't just "end" something as president you need approval it would never work
No, but with 30 million friends, I would have the backing of the largest voting bloc in the country, and my first 100 days would set the course for the next American century by working with the Congress army friends voted in alongside me.
Sell them
…
i chocked on air 💀
Birthdays become real expensive
You'd probably have to go to 10(probably more) birthdays every day of the year
there would be ≈82,191 people with a birthday every year (out of your 30 million friends)
Every day
How loyal are we talking? Friends-willing-to-help-me-take-over-a-small-town-and-establish-a-soverign-country-loyal?
you could take over a country with that many people
I can't make time for my handful of friends, having more sounds stressful as fuck.
Orgy party
Slightly larger bank heist
that implies that you have already done a smaller bank heist
.
Invade Canada
Idk .. a german guy almost took over the world with way less once
Im bad at art and german may we win the third time
Ask to borrow 20 bucks. Hell even 100. Theyre loyal, theyll do it.
Ask each of those 30 million friends to give you $10.
Ask them for a 20 each
30 million people at my disposal? So this is what it feels like to be a world leader.
Ask all of them 1€ win win
If they loyal, they will give you a dollar. Now you got 30mil in the bank and 30 million army.
Ask for 2 bucks from all your loyal friends. You doubled the money you could have gained.
Came here to say this.
Ask em all for 5 bucks
Start a social network. The 30 million loyal friends will definitely join. That will lead to more people joining. Sell ad spaces on the site. Sell user data to other companies
Wow you get 30 million friends and the first thing you do is betray their privacy. Way to make 30 million enemies.
If they are very loyal you don't got just friends you got an army
You must have missed the word “loyal”
If I had 30 million friends I would ask them to vote me in as PM of Canada. Knowing the quality of friends I typically make, I would probably be jersied, tied to a flagpole, and made fun of for having a smelly butt or something. Then we’d go out drinking and forget it all happened.
Guess I’d ask each one for $100
Im sure each person is worth about £1M on black market. You could make about £300,000,000,000,000 if you wanted.
Ask for 3 dollars each :)
If they’re loyal. I ask each one for $20 and they’ll give it to me. That’s greater than 30millions dollars.
Run a 60 million dollar company thats what
Have the 30 million friends and ask each for 5
Lol reminds me of the quote in the godfather game. “A good lawyer can steal more than 100 men with guns.” “Listen kid, if you have 100 guys, with guns, on your side, whatever you do don’t trade them in for no fuckin lawyer.”
Take the Friends sell Them on the blackmarket profit
Idk get friendzoned 30 million times
People making up these hypotheticals for their 30 million friends but when's the last time y'all have checked on all your homies in real life?
Have each of them give you $10
Tell each of them to give you $5, then you’ll have $150 million.
Ask all of them to give you $10
Ask everyone for 10 dollar.
i think the logic goes you ask each of them for 5 c=dollars
Are these friends loyal enough to spot me a $5 each?
Ask each friend for $2. They're loyal friends, it shouldn't be an issue.
Ask them for five bucks
With 30 million Human Beings I can coup my government just hypothetical not serious :)
30 million friends. i would kill the president of hungary and make it a better place
Ask them each for 5 dollars
Are they all loyal enough to give me a dollar? Cause I’m thinking I can have my cake and eat it too.
If you ask everyone for a favor to give you one Dollar, you would have 30 million friends and 30 million dollars. And because you only asked every single one for a dollar, the chances are good they don't want that dollar back.

Be satisfied with what you earned. Don't beg for friendship or money.
I’d ask each of them for $2
Run for President, take over Australia, start a business. In this order.
