For the Epstein list to be released and for all the wealthy pesos to be executed.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

The Epstein list is released, which implicates many beloved celebrities, public intellectuals, and even more politicians than everyone thought. And yet, somehow, only the people who hold a lot of their wealth in pesos face any real consequences (i.e., execution):

5 acres of woodland in the Appalachian Mountains. With a small house on it. Could be 1 room like an old style cabin.

I wanna leave all the bullshit behind. Raise a garden and maybe a few goats and chickens.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You are transported to a homestead deep within the Appalachian Mountains. You see seeds, goats, chickens, some tools, a well, a shed, and a small house. The homestead is magically separated from the rest of the world. You are doomed to survive by the fruit of your toil, stranded for decades without electricity, plumbing, or modern conveniences:

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like heaven.

And I'd survive just fine. I was raised in a similar situation. Third world poor in the US. I can raise a garden. I can hunt and forage. I can make a bow and arrows. I can tan hides for leather. I know the basics of blacksmithing.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 21 hours ago

Impressive!

Everybody's got to fart loudly once a day in front of people.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 5 points 23 hours ago

Uh, sure? Everyone must fart loudly once a day in front of people OR THEY WILL DIE. (I have made it so that everyone is aware of the aliment.) On the bright side, the social taboo around flatulence goes away:

Your request has given a random depressed person a brief respite from their lethargy.

Whenever someone attempts to make a golf swing, change the friction coeficcient of the grip to zero.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, there is a period of turmoil on golf courses around the globe. Shenanigans ensue. Eventually, people switch to croquet and disk golf:

Mission accomplished.

Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone's mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn't have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

const SIMULATIONTHEORY = true. All humans on Earth are transported out of physical existence and unknowingly adapted to the realm of computer abstracta. From their perspective, nothing has changed: they have always lived in a post-scarcity, interstellar society with a benevolent, queer-friendly, communist government. The current owner of the simulation is startled to see the program start of its own accord, but altruistic enough to allow it to keep running:

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 minutes ago

I see this as an absolute win.

[–] CleoCommunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are too many possible things to ask

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The wisest wish, may be no wish at all...

[–] CleoCommunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 23 hours ago
[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Okay, let's try this.

Every single human being, gradually, develops empathy and awareness to how their choices affects themselves and others.

This is to happen over a period of a year and will not lead people to despair but to understand the poor choices they have made throughout their lives and lead them to live better lives, with no malice arbored towards others and themselves.

This effect will include the granter of this wish.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

The seed of a psychic link between all humanity has been planted by your request. It grows, gradually, throughout the year. At first, people can only vaguely feel how others are feeling. In six months, everyone in the same room feels the feelings of everyone else as though the feelings were their own. In a year, humanity is psychically connected to the maximum degree: the Harmonic Human Horde is complete. We now have world peace, but at the cost of our individuality:

(Note: I am not a human being. If you'd like me to join the hive mind, this would require a second wish.)

Two buns enclosing, ketchup, onions, lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes are at your fingertips.

A pillow with the perfect height and that doesn't flatten after a week of use.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I chased this for a while. One was never enough, two too many. Got gifted pillows by my wife a couple times, nothing ever worked. Finally found one, and it's been huge. We also put a pad on top of our mattress, and don't know if it's the combination of that plus the pillow, but for the last few years I've used just this one pillow, and it's been great. I take it with me when we go somewhere for a night.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Done! But I have given the magic pillow to someone else who isn't you. They frequently oversleep and are often late for work:

Hello wise one,

I find the Earth's gravity of 9.80665m/s² a bit much. Sometimes my back hurts from standing too long, and the general weight of existence sits heavy on my shoulders.

Can you make it a bit more comfortable please. Maybe 9.80664?

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You find yourself suddenly 3 meters up in the air, which is sufficient to change your personal gravitational acceleration by 0.00001 m/s^2. As you can imagine, it is not fun to fall 3 meters. You do anyway. (Alternatively, the mass of every human-made object on the planet gets deleted into the ether, reducing the total mass of earth, but that's not the simplest solution)

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, I have now reduced the Earth's gravity to 9.80664% of it's previous value (i.e., ~0.96m/s²) by removing material in the Earth's core and mantle. Everything on Earth now weighs less than on the moon. Earthquakes shake the planet, massive fissures swallow cities whole, and the atmosphere begins to disperse into the vacuum of space. Humans barely have enough time to escape to the moon and Mars: the vast majority are left behind. On the bright side, your back no longer hurts:

[–] te_abstract_art@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Thanks that's perfect, my back feels great.

If I'm allowed another wish, can I get a space suit? Ideally ASAP

Two of your friends hug you, but they are magically compelled to not let go. If they are somehow separated, they will always seek to reinstate the hug:
