He constantly and effortlessly creates sentience. Almost everything he makes is sentient to one degree or another, and it's almost never a primary feature.
It's a writing tool that demonstrates how advanced the thing is. It's something he can do effortlessly but we can't do at all. It's also the setup for a joke almost every time, and makes the object a temporary character that can comment on the situation, even if the plot requires him to be alone.
I suspect he got the time machine down to pat, its the snake math part that road blocked him. And here I thought Math is Math.
I chuckle at the idea of morty asking this and rick going on a rant like: What, What do you think this is, what do you think I am? Do you think I like being bit by mosquitoes? I just made an exception to my self defense shield for being bit! By mosquitoes!?! And what if, what if, a government made a tiny drone mosquito because that's the shields one weakness? God morty think before your speak sometimes..
Then later he gets bit by as mosquito, morty jumps up like "ah ha!" & Rick's just like yeah I mean it's just a mosquito not a real threat, not something you need to defend against..anyways so.. where were we on that other thing
Take off the vat's cover, kiss it softly and wisper to it that you want to be inside it. Tell it you want that its warm and thick liquids will be all over you.
Get inside the vat. Not too fast, but not too slow either. Make sure the sticky fluids touch every part of your body.
Now you and the vat are one. Swim inside and let it feel your gentle motions. Put your head inside and let it know you love it. You love it more than anything else in the entire universe.
Touch it from the inside and don't stop massaging it's floor. You know it wants you. You know you want it.
After hours of sensations and opening you heart to the vat, you will exit it. You won't wipe yourself because you want to feel it's juice flowing down your body.
You look at the vat and say thank you. You turn around and walk away.
Having sex with a planet and being able to talk to it, taking over the bodies of multiple people, making people die instantly by touching him. And more
The most amazing thing- privacy. Forget all the fancy embellishments around the toilet, that's distraction. In this world real privacy is a genius feat.
Stuff for Beth
A ray gun
A whip which forces people to like the bearer
Invisibility handcuffs
A parent leg-trap
A lightning gun
A teddy bear with anatomically correct innards
Night-vision googly-eye glasses
Sound-erasing sneakers
False fingerprints
"Fall-asleep" darts
A lie-detecting doll
An indestructible baseball bat
A ladybug-shaped taser
A fake police badge
Location-tracking stickers
Rainbow-colored duct tape
Mind-control hair-clips
Poison gum
A pink sentient switchblade
He doesn't seem to ever have a problem obtaining money when he needs it. That's for sure. I'm sure Krombopulus Mike pays top dollar for that bespoke tech he always needs.
The ability to recognize and fix virtually ANY problems that crosses him. I’ve never seen such contingency in any character.
Some villain and/or alien species might catch him off-guard but he’ll figure it out in less than 20 minutes
MortyCar. Pirates of the Pancreas. The scanner that can search alternate dimensions for very specific criteria, like if he and Morty have been Cronenberg'd or not.
Follow up: he did it for the sole purpose of avoiding therapy with his family. So he turned himself into a pickle to avoid a therapist and then created a exoskeleton suit from rats he killed while being a pickle.
I like how that episode was shortly after the Vindicators episode where it’s revealed that Rick brings up Israel when he’s drunk. Like, he heard that and thought “I should fix that soon”
Gooblebox tech- aka slavery with extra steps. My favorite part ,Rick can create a self sustaining universe that has all the limitless powers of stars and shit that could easily power his battery yet he enslaves a race to manually stomp on a box to get it to charge, 😂
Also it was Cool when he used Mortys mind-blower tech for him and birdperson to escape birdpersons mind
He found new elements and created tech in a completely foreign dimension when morty and him were split and their negative selves were sent to goo dimension
I'd say blocking off the central finite curve is the best invention, he literally manhandled time and physics to his will to keep himself in infinite realities where he's the smartest thing. He made himself a god.
His car is basically alive. The car legit wore a disguise and found love. Rick and his car are almost as impressive as Ms frizzle and the magic school bus

He constantly and effortlessly creates sentience. Almost everything he makes is sentient to one degree or another, and it's almost never a primary feature.
This implies that sentience boils down to a simple equation that Rick can key into anything with a processor
Or a special type of processor.
Or he just uses robobrains or hybrots
>hybrots thats a new one
Real thing, look it up; “The biological elements are typically rat neurons connected to a computer chip”
He creates sapience which in some ways is more messed up.

True this is way up there on god level stuff
What is my purpose?
To pass the butter
^oh ^my ^god
Welcome to the club buddy
Even when he's not trying to. Morty bot for instance
"Hi, Beth! You've gotten taller! Shall we resume stabbing?"
SUBMIT TO CROW HORSE
He had to invent a time machine using snake maths.
Having to invent toxic electricity in the toxic world. 
He invented a new element too, you little garbage person.
Similarly, In the dragon episode he invents tech in their weird wizard dimension
man i was so close to forgetting all about that episode
not me. i haven't come out of my masturbation cave in eons.
"It's high time I emerge from my cum cocoon"
How about a little hand bond?
Also he didn't know it so taught himself to build said time machine
 I suspect he got the time machine down to pat, its the snake math part that road blocked him. And here I thought Math is Math.
Microverse
“Pff. Teenyverse.”
Miniverse!
Your micro verse sucks! And your mini verse is the size of a fucking lobster tank! It’s whack!
I didn't ask to be born!!
Too fast!
That’s a pretty fucked up “ooh la la”.
Blow me
no no blow me
It certainly isn’t someone who’s entire culture POWERS MY BRAKE LIGHTS!
He dismantled an entire galactic federation by changing a 1 to a 0!
Truly impressive, especially as 1=0!
/r/unexpectedfactorial
Wait whos paying me to yell at this guy?
[удалено]
Does this apply to insects? Like, if I was constantly getting bit by mosquitos could this defense kill them too?
I chuckle at the idea of morty asking this and rick going on a rant like: What, What do you think this is, what do you think I am? Do you think I like being bit by mosquitoes? I just made an exception to my self defense shield for being bit! By mosquitoes!?! And what if, what if, a government made a tiny drone mosquito because that's the shields one weakness?

> Then later he gets bit by as mosquito, morty jumps up like "ah ha!" Sounds like something that would end up in morty's mind benders
This is perfect.
Oh my goodness that would be heavenly
Everyone wants to be knocked out, no one wants to be dead
Well what kind of death was it? Instant.
But there was no sound
I know. Terrifying.
“How is ‘knocking out’ a deterrent?”
Everyone wants to be knocked out, no one wants to die 😂
Deterrent*
The ability to redirect his consciousness into a back up body (clones) in cade of death.
Especially if he found a way to transfer it and not just copy it.
Definitely transfer lol. If it was a copy there would be no point in Ricks logic. It would just be another version of him
we got those, too - decoy families.
that time he made Morty an retry button out of spite
Morty, do you want me to explain, or do you wanna go have fun
it’s in the way you use it
I want one
He turned himself into a pickle and then created a exoskeleton suit from rats he killed while being a pickle.
had to scroll far too far to find this one. he turned himself into a fucking 🥒!
A sentient robot that passes butter.
This cuts the Chut
When I saw your username, I felt instantly blessed. I have experienced true joy.
That's some dedication to a bit, respect.
I just commented this as well, because the robot expressed emotion as well, making it sentient as you stated.
mechanical penis clone
The vat of acid. It’s just as essential to Rick as portal travel and just as ingenious.
Kiss the vat
Say the vat is good
Take off the vat's cover, kiss it softly and wisper to it that you want to be inside it. Tell it you want that its warm and thick liquids will be all over you. Get inside the vat. Not too fast, but not too slow either. Make sure the sticky fluids touch every part of your body. Now you and the vat are one. Swim inside and let it feel your gentle motions. Put your head inside and let it know you love it. You love it more than anything else in the entire universe. Touch it from the inside and don't stop massaging it's floor. You know it wants you. You know you want it. After hours of sensations and opening you heart to the vat, you will exit it. You won't wipe yourself because you want to feel it's juice flowing down your body. You look at the vat and say thank you. You turn around and walk away.
Bro chill
I love that it’s used in a later season with no real attention to that fact.
It’s useful in more scenarios than you’d expect
It’s in the way that he used it
Underrated comment
You mean, the jacuzzi-heated Mountain Dew? Eat my ass!!
Perfect level
LAMBS TO THE COSMIC SLAUGHTER!!
REALITY IS POISON!!
PUT ME BACK IN! PUT ME BACK IN!!!
That might be my favorite scene in the show
The simplicity is what gets me
The whole concept of something being perfectly level creating such a mind altering experience is fucking hilarious
Same here, I think about it often
Yep. Same. Part of me wants to feel what it's like but I might end up going temporarily insane.
The groin protector
And heart protector when fighting phoenix person
thats the one I was going to say!
“Assessing threat to groin”
That…. is my groin’s user
Having sex with a planet and being able to talk to it, taking over the bodies of multiple people, making people die instantly by touching him. And more
The most amazing thing- privacy. Forget all the fancy embellishments around the toilet, that's distraction. In this world real privacy is a genius feat.

Hi Beth! You've gotten taller. Should we resume stabbing?
“Bad father all the way to the max, I’m a fucking nut case. And the acorn plopped straight down baby.”
Spinal cord giving him drugs
Froopyland.
Jerry Daycare.
Jerry Bouree*
He wishes he came up with that idea.
well he did come up with the idea, but he wishes he was the version of him that owned it, that guy’s rich!
I love that he's jealous of that guy being rich, but he could be rich instantly with basically anything he invents.
He doesn't seem to ever have a problem obtaining money when he needs it. That's for sure. I'm sure Krombopulus Mike pays top dollar for that bespoke tech he always needs.
With the added bonus of being able to make your own food so you can stay and play indefinitely!
He made a tiny Voltron.
And a super Voltron
And the GoGoGoGotron Ferret
She can't keep them they're awesome
The ability to recognize and fix virtually ANY problems that crosses him. I’ve never seen such contingency in any character. Some villain and/or alien species might catch him off-guard but he’ll figure it out in less than 20 minutes
"Lemme check my list of powers and weaknesses: ability to do anything, but only whenever I want."
All the ones that are too much for him to handle are outside the finite central curve. Rick lives in a sandbox of his own making.
“Time travel stuff”
MortyCar. Pirates of the Pancreas. The scanner that can search alternate dimensions for very specific criteria, like if he and Morty have been Cronenberg'd or not.
This is what I’m talking about! I forgot about Car Morty lol
Have you seen his toilet!?!
Clearly when he turned himself into a pickle.
Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.
Useless, but godlike none the less
Follow up: he did it for the sole purpose of avoiding therapy with his family. So he turned himself into a pickle to avoid a therapist and then created a exoskeleton suit from rats he killed while being a pickle.
We have 34 armed guards and we can’t kill a pickle?
Solenya. He’s a monster!
He didn't want to go to therapy. He was in a *real pickle*.
Project Phoenix and the Miniverse for sure
Uhh Teenyverse
Micro verse!
True those are both very OP
Instant brownies.
We don’t deserve Doofus Rick 😭
You know that guy eats poop, right?
Robot that serves butter
What is my purpose?
you serve butter
*ohmygod*
Yea, welcome to the club pal
Didn’t he solve the Palestine-Israel conflict? Not an invention but something nobody else could do
Yes the “Pretty obvious if you think about it” Accord
I like how that episode was shortly after the Vindicators episode where it’s revealed that Rick brings up Israel when he’s drunk. Like, he heard that and thought “I should fix that soon”
Gooblebox tech- aka slavery with extra steps. My favorite part ,Rick can create a self sustaining universe that has all the limitless powers of stars and shit that could easily power his battery yet he enslaves a race to manually stomp on a box to get it to charge, 😂 Also it was Cool when he used Mortys mind-blower tech for him and birdperson to escape birdpersons mind
I always thought about this. Like, you *made stars*. That could probably power the car, for longer even!
I was kinda impressed when he hacked the brainalyzer.
a vat of fake acid
Sword with blade battle sequence
 I heard the Rick that invented it is rich.
STAY BACK!!! This watch turns people into snakes.
He also gave a snake legs and terrified the other snakes.
Particle beam in a wrist watch, snake holster on the leg
Taking down the Galactic Federation and the Citadel of Ricks in one episode.
I’m gonna go take a shit
Asimov Cascade. It wasn't intentional, but it was glorious.
The animal translator for me, as he made it so quickly…
Pirates of the pancreas
The anti-matter gun morty uses to kill Fart
He found new elements and created tech in a completely foreign dimension when morty and him were split and their negative selves were sent to goo dimension
The go go gadget arm with like 15 guns that just shoots a suction dart with a string attached to it.
And screwdriver in his finger!
The miniverse still blows my mind lol For a God damn car battery too haha
Night people
He converted himself into a goddamn pickle!
ovenless brownies.
Most wholesome invention
**Pirates Of The Pancreas** This is his greatest achievement.
His opiate/Robitussin releasing mechanical spine. As a man with back pain, I'm jealous every time it's mentioned
Cloning his daughter, aging her to her current age, and setting her memory. He cloned her so well that he can’t even tell.
Time travel stuff. Advanced technology from scratch,or really primitive elements Sentience Making a sun from a black hole
His cloning process
Giving Jerry’s finger AIDS.
But it’s tingling!
The "anti-booby" suits when he and Morty were grave robbing.
“Alright Morty, turn into a car.”
I'd say blocking off the central finite curve is the best invention, he literally manhandled time and physics to his will to keep himself in infinite realities where he's the smartest thing. He made himself a god.
Jerry daycare. Man that’s useful for certain people
Can you believe some people go there to try to touch some of the Jerry’s?
Universe car battery
I mean that dog helmet that let them all rise to sentience and leave earth was pretty rad
The Vat of Acid
Perfect level, I mean perfect level. So perfect you literally cannot go back to the world before you experienced perfect level.
His entire skeletal system an organs having a shit ton of tech inside like having his spine having the ability to dispence medicine
I think we can all agree on this one, oven-less brownies
Im glad its so many viewers on the, "Vat of Acid Episode"
Instant classic
Gotta be one of my favorite episodes along with the night family episode hahahaha
I think creating electricity in his toxic form stuck inside a tank of "toxicity" gets too little recognition for how fucking crazy it is
Since nobody else has said it: a device which recognises a spit-take, catches the beer in mid-air and transfers it safely back to your glass
His car is basically alive. The car legit wore a disguise and found love. Rick and his car are almost as impressive as Ms frizzle and the magic school bus
All of the mechanic enhancements to his body
He fucked a planet
The machine that “saves” your place in time, or a vat of fake acid
Concentrated dark matter, according to Rick and the most ambitious least successful alien scammers.
One i found to be particularly cool was that machine he had to take down those turrets in Vindicators 3
Snake holster?
He created a whole universe to fuel his space ship. Peace among worlds .I.
