For anyone that doesn't know about Death Note it's a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone's name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

Step 1: Anonymous blackmail of oil companies ceos. Step 2: Profit

Ohh and probably take out Putin and Xi.

Put it on the shelf with the other one

Nice try, officer

I've got some research to do and some very thoughtful application of this powerful, dangerous tool. I know where I'm starting though. In Minecraft.

Burn it. Sure there are people that need to die but I don't want any risk anyone else gets access to this even at the expense of letting evil people live.

I would pull that lever so fucking hard. That amount of responsibility would basically take over and ruin my life, even if they never caught me

The world could legitimately be made so much better

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Just don't lose sight of the goals. Light was a cautionary tale.

Nice try, NSA

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I go on with my life. Death note has no power over me.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Netanyahu. Executed for crimes against humanity.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't use it. It feels like cheating, moreso if I cause anything undesirable like the death of the wrong person or the downfall of a beneficial organization because the dead individual had some major unsung good they contributed.

[–] midimalist@lemdro.id 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Interesting response for someone with your username

But I agree. I would probably use it as voluntary euthanasia tool for painful incurable disease/condition.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn't the method of death of victims of the Death Note a heart attack? That sounds rather uncomfortable for a form a euthanasia.

i'll offer random people a chance to write a name to it as a form of anger- / hatred- / stress-relief. not much details will be discussed apart from this one chance to write the name of someone you think deserves some ill-fated luck. most likely cause of death here will be sleep-induced.

Burn it. I'd like a Life Note though. To write a few names there just in case. Not decided if mine will be among them.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

take it to the bathroom and read it while taking a shit and then tear out pages to wipe my ass

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Wie my own name in it.

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nothing. Anyone who uses the Death note cannot go to heaven or hell. That would basically confirm the existence of heaven and hell. My understanding is that heaven is infinite. Nothing in this finite world would be worth risking infinity in paradise. I would take it, chat with a god of death, ask many questions, and then decline.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Then do what? You still have it in your hands.
