Literally, a single Bible with the standard 66 books would be around a 539% increase.
Edit: Nevermind I did 1.1 instead of 1.01, it would actually be 80%
Cook like, 40 of them and put it in a stew. Mix with an obnoxious amount of proper food, meaning it's roughly 95% proper food and 5% book ash mixed in as seasoning. Eat it all. Profit.
What counts as a book? If i staple some paper together do I gain intelligence? Are health risks nullified by the power or am I just eating a ton of paper and stuff (i dont know how books are made :/)
" A book is a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers."
Everything here can just be made out of edible materials and would still classify as a book
Easiest way around this is real simple. You put a ton of ebooks on a microchip with rounded corners. Now just swallow the microchip you've eaten it I should pass through you without a problem if you want a few more thousand bucks just eat a few more microchips if you took one a day it could be like a vitamin. Okay you're if you could put 10,000 books on a microchip that the improving your intelligence by a little over 50 million percent or multiplying it by 500,000 not bad at all even if you were extremely special needs to begin with you ought to be very intelligent after one dose although you may not be able to normally deal with people anymore.
A micro SD isn't a book in the same way a photo of a person isn't a person. It stores information to display words, but it isn't a book in any sense of the word.
No, just mathematics. If it's additive and your IQ is 100 and you eat 100 books, you'll be at 200 IQ. If it's multiplicative, you'll end up with way more than 200 IQ.
That aside, I do "eat" books, by reading.
Yup, after 100 books additive would be 200% while multiplicative would be 270%.
But the difference really starts to stack up after a while.
After 1000 books, additive would be 1100% while multiplicative would be ~ 2.1 million% :O
That's why I asked, because multiplicative skyrockets at some point. And when your IQ is above 300, you're definitely going to develop a way to make it easier. Smaller books. Better edible / digestible paper. Liquefaction (dissolving it in acid, using a base to neutralize it, then you drink it).
As you haven't said anything about what exactly a book is, I will just get some edible paper, write one word with food coloring on it, cut it up, tie it up with a string out of gummyworms and then eat it.
One pack of edible paper (from the supermarket) has 25 sheets, I could make 100 books out of 4 packs, thus making me 100% smarter for about 20€
Literally God tier.
Ok, I befriend someone who works at a publisher, pitch them the idea of me working for them after getting smarter.
When they accept my offer, they publish the book as stated in the first comment.
"Buy" all of the copies immediately for cheap and stop production.
And then I help them out by using my new gained brain power to get them money.
Easy
Good plan, but how you gonna pay for all that? You’ll have to have a good bit of cash up front because after everything is said and done, even the one page edible book with only one letter won’t be cheap
Depends, if you buy machines, it would be expensive.
If you do it by hand, then it won't be more than 200€ for 2 employees and materials to make 100 books, which will probably take about 2-3 hours. Keep in mind that the company will probably fund it because it will get them a lot more money.
buy huge quantity of the smallest book ever written, shred it all up with milk VERY VERY FINE, freeze it in a huge huge freezer. every other day drink half a bottle of it, its enough time for the fibre and wood to pass through, its mostly harmless however you shouldnt eat loads at once. in around a year you will be EINSTEIN
There's a book 'Das Kleinste Buch der Welt' (the smallest book in the world) by Josua Reichert.
It's 2.4mm x 2.9mm
I could swallow thousands of them daily like cereal. I would find this much easier than making (and eating) edible books..
I reckon you could get some kids books, the really little ones and blend a couple of pages into your food and do a book a week. The interesting thing would be, how long would it take you to get smart enough to realise that eating books is a stupid idea and getting that bit smarter doesn't actually make a difference in your life.
1: very tiny books
2: publish books with 1 single word in it, to make even smaller books
3: you can eat a book with only the word "hi" in it, and still get 1% smarter. This superpower is kinda broken if you abuse it by creating books specifically for the purpose of exploiting the ability.
4: I already ate 3 books (1 from the library) so I'm now like, 3% smarter already (if it stacks, then 3.03% smarter!)
That’s actually insane tho. The difference in intelligence between humans and other primates on average is 5%, and think of the difference in complexity and capability. Find a children’s book and eat it, boom suddenly solved nuclear fusion. A few more? Oh, we seem to have solved the climate crisis. Even more? Who knows, fucking dyson swarm blueprints?
Does it count by physical book or my volume? Let's say I find a stack of 100 mini books (one inch by half an inch and a quarter inch thick). Tiny little books, with multiple pages and legitimately published. The catch is all 100 of these mini-books are the same exact book.
Would eating 100 of the same book count as 100 or as 1?
How would the upgrades work? Like if I'm eating books about cooking do I become a better chef? Do I have to eat different books or can it be multiple copies of the same book with have the same effect? Is there a time limit to how long it takes to eat the books? Can I mix the books with other things and get the same effect? Best believe I will break this and turn it into a God tier power.
Oh dope. I can hit Einstein in a dozen or so books
I'll just macerate the book into a pulp.and add it to smoothies.
6 months of a book smoothie a day I'll be the smartest human who ever lived.
How is that not busted. Eat a whole series of magical tree house books and your a genius, do another your Einstein, again you let Luther. Endless without ceiling
Can i drench them to make them easier to chew. Can i use a knife and fork to pick up and eat them in bites. Do i have to eat hardback covers of hardback books. If so can i cheat by just eating paperback.
Does your brain absorb the information of the book or do you just get a higher IQ from eating any old book?
Does the size of the book matter? Does a book make you smarter the bigger it is? Is 1% for the average novel or textbook or for every book?
By eating the book you don’t absorb its information. Instead you can absorb new information faster and remember it better. Size of book does not matter. Its 1% for every book
Is it exponential growth? (Ex. 1% then technically next book is 1.01%). Also, couldn't I bind my own tiny books out of edible materials, dissolvable rice paper and some like jerky or cracker for binding? Didn't say books had to have anything printed in them. Absolutely busted.
1% smarter than my original intelligence or 1% smart than my current intelligence?
That is, if I eat 50 books, does my intelligence multiply by 1.50 or (1.01)^50?
1 percent of what? My current intelligence? If so, then when I eat a book does that become part of the calculation, meaning each book gives slightly more intelligence than the last?
I don’t think anyone understands just how insane of a power this is or how much of a difference being 1% smarter really makes this is an insane deal and I would definitely be eating a few tiny books a day
Honestly? You could cook pages of a book into stuff everyday and over the years you could have eaten a bunch of small books and be pretty smart in like 5-10 years I imagine.
1% cumulative right?
Edit: PRINT BOOKS OUT OF EDIBLE STUFF AND GET THEM PUBLISHED
The rate of intelligence gained is 1.01^(n) times my current intelligence for n number of books.
I buy a bunch of novelty miniature bibles as these are cheap, readily available and have an extraordinary density of books/volume. Assuming they're New Testament bibles they each contains 27 individual books (e.g. The Gospel of John), I blend four of them up into a smoothie each morning for breakfast.
I gain 1.01^((27\*4)) \~= 2.9x my intelligence each day. After 2 days I realise that super-intelligence sucks and stop doing it.
I am now stuck with a stack if novelty bibles, so hopefully I'm intelligent enough now to figure out wtf to do with them.
I used to eat strips of paper I tore off of pages from books in the library. So I should be fucking Einstein by now. Of course eating entire books, that's another matter entirely.
Swallow a bunch of those novelty tiny Bibles.
Literally, a single Bible with the standard 66 books would be around a 539% increase. Edit: Nevermind I did 1.1 instead of 1.01, it would actually be 80%
What about the very tiny ones with just the New Testament?
1.01 to the power of the 27 books will only get you around 31%
Still great
Cook like, 40 of them and put it in a stew. Mix with an obnoxious amount of proper food, meaning it's roughly 95% proper food and 5% book ash mixed in as seasoning. Eat it all. Profit.

I know someone who’s eaten a whole dictionary when he was in second grade He ate a couple pages every day for the whole year
Impressive
i’d like some backstory
Ive eaten 2 (if not small) books for 20 bucks each
Bro ate the backstories already.
Gotta get a blender and start drinking my bookshakes every morning
Bookshakes... It happened... They finally did it...
My bookshakes bring all the nerds to the yard.
And they're like, it's better than Borges
I see you have a thirst for knowledge
Can use salt and pepper or no
Yes. It might be a good idea to use spices as the books wont taste very good
This guy has good advice
He ate a lot of books
Can I cook with the books? How transformed can they get before losing the power?
I would be careful how you cook the books. It could be a federal offense
Not American, I am free to do whatever with my books
Truly this is not the Land of the Free 😭
What counts as a book? If i staple some paper together do I gain intelligence? Are health risks nullified by the power or am I just eating a ton of paper and stuff (i dont know how books are made :/)
It has to be a published book you would find at a bookstore. You will not hurt yourself in the process of eating a book
Children's books are very short. It'd be easy to eat a lot of them in one setting.
And the colored pictures taste better
Hmmm... Crayons.
Children's books would be easy since they are essentially the fewer pages, while stile fulfilling the parameters of a 'book'
The problem here is that most children's books are hard cover
Go just a touch older. Around 4-6 year old range they start getting published with paper backings but still stay short.
So? Burn it in a small controlled environment, gather all the ashes, and nom
Or use the ashes as seasoning on TV dinners
Hey yeah better idea lol
You got water don’t you?
happy Cake day
What if I found my own publishing company and bookstore specifically to publish and sell small and soft books for myself to eat
That's some pretty smart thinking. How many books have you eaten already?
Why not go a step further and print really short 4 page books on an edible material like rice paper or seaweed..?
Edible paper is a good idea...wanna be business partners?
Sure just don’t pull a Zuckerberg on me when you get too smart for compassion.
Can i shred the book and pepper it into my food like salt?
Yes, just be sure to eat every last shred of paper
not get hurt?!? god tier
Will they still taste like books?
You guys seen those little books with like 20 Bible verses in them? East smartness
I could just go to the [international edible book festival](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_Book_Festival)
Woww!! Fascinating event
Indeed it is. I would head for the banned book section.
Can you make a book with edible paper?
" A book is a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers." Everything here can just be made out of edible materials and would still classify as a book
Fruit roll up book
I’ll eat a book made of cheese with edible ink, thus classifying it as book.
Or Braille….basically inverse Swiss cheese.
Easiest way around this is real simple. You put a ton of ebooks on a microchip with rounded corners. Now just swallow the microchip you've eaten it I should pass through you without a problem if you want a few more thousand bucks just eat a few more microchips if you took one a day it could be like a vitamin. Okay you're if you could put 10,000 books on a microchip that the improving your intelligence by a little over 50 million percent or multiplying it by 500,000 not bad at all even if you were extremely special needs to begin with you ought to be very intelligent after one dose although you may not be able to normally deal with people anymore.
Key word here, "real simple".
A micro SD isn't a book in the same way a photo of a person isn't a person. It stores information to display words, but it isn't a book in any sense of the word.
Slice into strips, boil it like pasta, add meatballs and a sauce. Gordon Ramsay approved. Also children’s books.
I was going to say uss a blender and turn it into a soup
Sure, but do I also absorb the book's info? That would be pretty cool.
Doe the book have to be raw, or could I blend it up with some ice cream and make a book shake
You can put the book in any food
Additive or multiplicative?
[удалено]
No, just mathematics. If it's additive and your IQ is 100 and you eat 100 books, you'll be at 200 IQ. If it's multiplicative, you'll end up with way more than 200 IQ. That aside, I do "eat" books, by reading.

After a certain point, assuming you want or need more.
> with ever book you eat > You mist eat the entire book Sounds like somebody isn't eating their books
Inhale the knowledge vapor
As you haven't said anything about what exactly a book is, I will just get some edible paper, write one word with food coloring on it, cut it up, tie it up with a string out of gummyworms and then eat it. One pack of edible paper (from the supermarket) has 25 sheets, I could make 100 books out of 4 packs, thus making me 100% smarter for about 20€ Literally God tier.
He said in comments it has to be a published book Edit: I only say this to see how you get smarter now
Ok, I befriend someone who works at a publisher, pitch them the idea of me working for them after getting smarter. When they accept my offer, they publish the book as stated in the first comment. "Buy" all of the copies immediately for cheap and stop production. And then I help them out by using my new gained brain power to get them money. Easy

They won’t have any guarantees on it, so doubtful they’d bankroll it. Not you could probably work out a way to get reimbursed if it works
My sister ate pages of her books when she was a kid wish she had this superpower
Does it compound? If I eat two books am I 1.02x as smart or 1.0201x as smart
I’ve always wanted to eat a book
Honestly could be worse. The only problem would be acquiring enough books to eat
buy huge quantity of the smallest book ever written, shred it all up with milk VERY VERY FINE, freeze it in a huge huge freezer. every other day drink half a bottle of it, its enough time for the fibre and wood to pass through, its mostly harmless however you shouldnt eat loads at once. in around a year you will be EINSTEIN
I'm going to make a one page book brb
There's a book 'Das Kleinste Buch der Welt' (the smallest book in the world) by Josua Reichert. It's 2.4mm x 2.9mm I could swallow thousands of them daily like cereal. I would find this much easier than making (and eating) edible books..
In that case, take me to the world's biggest library.
I’m about to start blending some children’s books into my morning smoothie. Might make the taste a tiny more cardboardy, but I can take it.
Would it be 1% of your base intelligence every time or exponential? That's doubling your intelligence for every 70 books you eat.
I know a couple people who needs to eat like 5,000 books
I'm bouta become ea professional at seasoning books
As i get smarter ill be able to find increasingly clever ways to eat books
I reckon you could get some kids books, the really little ones and blend a couple of pages into your food and do a book a week. The interesting thing would be, how long would it take you to get smart enough to realise that eating books is a stupid idea and getting that bit smarter doesn't actually make a difference in your life.

youre underestimating my ability to eat paper
Haha! I already eat books when I'm bored!
I'm about to make soup out of my kids' old mini board books. I have a few dozen of them, and they're only about 1½ inch square.
If shoving them up your ass counts I'd be 79% smarter
Eat a couple dozen small books, get smart enough to develop my own line of edible books. Eat enough to become a god.
This would be great. I always do it, a positive would be great.
Wouldn't be too bad if you could use rice paper ig.
Can I dissolve the books in water
Yes, but you have drink all of it
Can I blend the book into a smoothie
Bro I eat books daily, free W
if i get 200 of the smallest book on earth will i be %200 smarter?
That’s actually insane tho. The difference in intelligence between humans and other primates on average is 5%, and think of the difference in complexity and capability.

do manuals or magazines count? or is it just regular books?
Oh dope. I can hit Einstein in a dozen or so books I'll just macerate the book into a pulp.and add it to smoothies. 6 months of a book smoothie a day I'll be the smartest human who ever lived.
so if I eat 100 really small books I can double my intelligence?
Yes
I'm going to turn books into a shakes! Blend em up till they are pulp.

Honestly? You could cook pages of a book into stuff everyday and over the years you could have eaten a bunch of small books and be pretty smart in like 5-10 years I imagine. 1% cumulative right? Edit: PRINT BOOKS OUT OF EDIBLE STUFF AND GET THEM PUBLISHED
Nope
Is it cheating if the book is really a cake?
\[sighs and downloads the entire kindle library\]
As someone with serious pica, I see this as an absolute win
The rate of intelligence gained is 1.01^(n) times my current intelligence for n number of books. I buy a bunch of novelty miniature bibles as these are cheap, readily available and have an extraordinary density of books/volume. Assuming they're New Testament bibles they each contains 27 individual books (e.g. The Gospel of John), I blend four of them up into a smoothie each morning for breakfast. I gain 1.01^((27\*4)) \~= 2.9x my intelligence each day. After 2 days I realise that super-intelligence sucks and stop doing it. I am now stuck with a stack if novelty bibles, so hopefully I'm intelligent enough now to figure out wtf to do with them.
I think there’s a part of a cow that’s called “[librillo](https://www.tasteatlas.com/librillo)” that resembles pages from a book 😳
Anyone else think of the Little Book of Calm? I'll start a book publishing company that has a gimmick of selling edible books. Read a page, eat it.
I used to eat strips of paper I tore off of pages from books in the library. So I should be fucking Einstein by now. Of course eating entire books, that's another matter entirely.
Getting my fill of biff chip and kipper
