    “2 random pills” and shoebox pill. Take the shoebox pill, get a shoebox filled with the 2 random pills (since you got one they became “real”). Grab a big handful of pills and swallow.

    Others (in case you don’t want to collapse civilization or piss gasoline):

    • Shoebox + any question = practically unlimited questions. Plus the first one should be something like “how can I achieve maximum happiness (in an easy way where current me would be comfortable with the results)?” and you can ask variations to get a clearer answer since you have practically unlimited ones. Only drawback is if “single-use” really means the duplicates don’t do anything.

    • Shoebox + groundhog day = probably get to live >10000 years (unless “single-use” prevents that)

    • Shoebox + pi money = practically unlimited money, no “single use” issue

    • Shoebox + kill one person = Death Note

      You win this round! Although a shoebox of Groundhog Day pills is probably hell. At least you get to choose to each each subsequent pill.

      I am assuming the shoebox can only contain one item,

      you could get one duplication pill + shoebox with duplication pill = infinite duplication pills

      So what would shoebox + collapse civilization look like? Meteor storm of world ending asteroids? Collapse all civilizations for the next 10000 years? Start destroying alien civilizations?
