If you had one wish.

**Ish** · 05-07-2011 10:21 PM

If you had one wish, with no restrictions, (except wishing for more wishes or anything of the sort) you could even wish for something not possible otherwise, (this is a hypothetical question, don't look to much into it) what would you wish for?

**Xei** · 05-07-2011 10:23 PM

Infinite power. Then I'd wish for all the other stuff I want. :/

**Photolysis** · 05-07-2011 10:56 PM

Same. This is usually why genre-savvy genies forbid wishing for more wishes.

And we're totally going against the spirit of the thread here Xei :/

I'd wish for a fish. A fish that came with a dish. It'd splash and splish, this brutish fish, and I'd relish in all of this. Why such a wish, as outlandish as this? You see this fish, ne'er would he perish; that means that this would be a fish that I could forever cherish.

Either that or I'd wish for everyone to be more empathetic and reasonable.

The distinction is too vague though... so you're not allowed to wish for something that counts as more than one wish? Is wishing for flying powers and invisibility not allowed? What about wishing for... a donut filled with strawberry jam and another with cherry? But what about wishing for a donut factory?

IT'S NOT WELL-DEFINED DAMMIT.

I'd hire a lawyer that would write a loophole free wish that would make me able to shapeshift at will

I see where you are going with this, but there is no written law for wishes. This is pure human fantasy, not real. I just thought it would be interesting to see what kind of wishes people would make. Any loopholes you may find, make this thread more interesting.

I'd wish that I didn't have anything to wish for.

You're now a buddhist monk.

Not so much if I told you that one way to answer that wish would be to kill you, or alter your mind so that there was nothing you wanted.

The power to permanently impair another being's ability to hurt something physically and emotionally, and reverse it as I choose.

**Seroquel** · 05-08-2011 12:10 AM

I wish I was George Washington.

**khh** · 05-08-2011 12:14 AM

I am of two minds. I'd either wish for happiness for myself, or happiness for others (or something that would cause one of these to come about). Which, I suspect, would be dependant on the type of mood I was in when I was given the wish.

**Xei** · 05-08-2011 12:22 AM

Clue: wish for happiness for everybody.

It's kinda scary that the possibility didn't even occur to me. This just proves it: Most people can't be trusted with a simple wish.

**Black_Eagle** · 05-08-2011 04:33 AM

I'd wish for a superbike and the skills to ride it.

*sigh*

Wishes are just broken dreams.

**Connorator15** · 05-08-2011 06:32 AM

I would wish to be able to do waterer I wanted, even if it is impossible

**Erii** · 05-08-2011 06:44 AM

I would wish to control time
or
to have complete control over my mind
maybe a everyone to be happy world peace sort of thing

**HeavySleeper** · 05-08-2011 01:20 PM

Lol, I thought the guy in that comic was rubbing something else until I looked a bit closer.

**Savy** · 05-08-2011 02:09 PM

For a universe where the good guys always win in the end, and all negative problems last no longer than a generation and are then followed by at least two generations of peace.

This is kind of a hard question. You basically have responsibility here for either improving or fucking the world until another genie comes along. Also, you can't waste it on yourself, (I mean you could, but that seems irresponsible) so you have to also find something that will benefit the most organisms in the universe. And if you wish for the complete eradication of all negative things, then you're practically eradicating the positive, too, since you can't define something without its opposite. Then there's always the chance that your well thought out wish will go awry in some way, permanently screwing the world/universe... So maybe selfishly wishing for something is actually better.

Oh, I just thought of something. Maybe a better wish is control of reality. I can alter my body, the world, laws of physics, other people, my age, etc etc. It's kind of every power in one, including the ability to make the world/universe a better place should I feel like it. And then if something goes wrong, I can fix it.

You are likely malformed.

**hoffmandebra** · 05-08-2011 05:09 PM

Nothing real spiritual I am afraid. I would love to win the lottery big! They say money can not buy happiness but I would like to find out first hand!
