No consequences? I won't even know I did anything. It won't even show.
Just carry on as usual.

Now, if you meant no bad consequences...

I don't know how I'd do it. Perhaps I'd steal money from some rich fuck, whatever.
But the idea is:
Find a train driver and bribe him with loads of money. Tell him to say that I've kidnapped him. I could even get a gun.
Perhaps bribe some more people similarly as well, not many would care about a single worker.
Threaten to kill them if things don't go my way.

Ask to get some specific rail sections freed.
Tell the train driver to do initial checks and start the train, then show me the basics on how to drive it.
The best part starts now: I'll drive the train.

Perhaps I'd take 3-4 hours with that. Then get to some side rail and stop there.
In the remaining time, ask the train driver to explain me as much as possible from this field.

5 minutes before the end thank my "hostages" for cooperating and leave the scene, hopefully leaving with loads of extra knowledge on a field different from mine.

Nice try government, I'm not telling you my deepest, illegal desires

Burn Wall Street to the ground.

Sure, the institution would survive, but it would be awfully satisfying.

It sounds like a movie, but I can't quite put my finger on which one. I'm going to have to purge some of my old thoughts and get back to you on this one.

If you could preplan. Maybe you could pull a mr robot and destroy records of debt.

Tell my director to stop micromanaging and let me do the job I'm fucking paid to do.

That's the thing I wouldn't get sick.

But it would feel gross and weird aaaaa

Slap my boss, slap my ex, and slap my meat.

And then for the other 23 hours, IDK... rob a bank?

If you're taking out a dictator, better take out anyone who has been eyeing their position as well. Taking down a single leader leaves a power vacuum. But as the people who would want to be dictator are eliminated, the power vacuum grows...

Go to Yosemite and attempt to climb something sick like Wyoming Sheep Ranch or Sea of Dreams.

I would kill a significant number of people. Honestly. It's terrible, but that's what I'd do.

I would need to plan out in what area would be the best place to do it to maximize effectiveness. Probably start in DC and work my way from there.
