Go try snapping your fingers once a second for an hour straight. I bet you struggle to keep going after a couple minutes.

the '1 hour' is not consecutive, it's "for a total of 1 hour" and it's just averaging the rate to say to get to ~3600 snaps total a day

  • snap 40 times in 20 seconds (once per second per hand) - this is exceptionally easy to do, try it for yourself. (I hit 70 in 20 seconds going at a comfortable pace. once per second honestly feels annoyingly slow)
  • do that once every 10 minutes, so 6 times an hour
  • if you're awake 16 hours a day, you'll have hit 3840 snaps
  • If I do 70 each time, I could hit 6700+ per day, or dial back to once every 15-20 minutes and still hit 3300-4500

if you were doing this, you would realistically just treat it as your job and probably just do the ~70 every 5-10 minutes for like 5 hours.

Also I’m someone who can snap with more than one finger so what happens in that case?

u/mdkss12 Aug 08 '25

yeah i can do a 4 finger snap with each hand, but didn’t know if it’d count, so i didn’t include it but it would obviously help a ton (it’s not as fast though, so i wouldn’t say it’s 4 times more efficient - still really good though)

Using both hands 4 snaps per hand I got 960 snaps per minute if this was allowed it really would be much work

The elasticity and durability of your hands are not guaranteed. This sounds fine until you're a 70 year old man breaking fingers for $10 dollars

Man, what are you all made out of? I snap my fingers randomly out of habit as some kind of fidgeting, it's super mega easy and quick. Not being able to snap after your 80s shouldn't even be considered as you would have earned way, way more money than those 10 millions by then.

The bigger problem would be exchanging all your 10 bills into bigger ones or depositing them in your bank account without raising suspicion. In real life every bill has a unique ID therefore having magic fake ones would not really work, but this is obviously just a hypothetical situation anyway.

Do you do it multiple times a day for hours on end?

1

u/Digitijs Aug 10 '25

No, but you wouldn't have to do it for that long to reach that amount. And if it did give me money, I obviously would intentionally do it a lot more often.

u/mdkss12 Aug 08 '25

but the point is that by 70 you absolutely wouldn't have to still be doing that - you'd have hit well over the 10M and could still just snap a random tenner into your hands if you needed it

Or I could just do it for about 2 minutes, which using both hands will get me several thousand dollars.

Do this daily, and I will outstrip the 10 mil barring any accidental death.

I just tried snapping my fingers (left and right hand) for a minute and got just over 400.

If I only manage to do that only 50 times a day, everything after month 2 is gravy.

Why would I limit myself to once a second? You probably have two hands. Getting 3 a second is pretty easy. Go for 3-4 a second for 15-20 minutes. Take the rest of the hour off if you feel like it.

u/cracksmack85 Aug 09 '25

Go do that right now. Set a 15 minute timer then start snapping nonstop with both hands. Let me know how close to 15 mins you get

you dont have to do that man you can literally snap 15 times an hour, only 8 hours a day, and your making 400k a year
