    • Reduce atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels
    • Give me the ability to see/hear remote locations at will.
    • Give me Jessica Jones style mind-control, but without needing to be physically present.

    'scuse me while I go unfuck some shit.

      Reduce atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels

      “SEE! We told you the problem would fix itself! Now we don’t need to take any action to better ourselves for the sake of the environment!”

      Luckily you thought of that and using your third wish, you can fix it properly.

    1. Motivation to complete anything I decide to do.

    2. General happiness with life.

    3. Good health for my immediate family and I for 50 years.

    a private reality which obeys whatever rules i want it to.

    the ability to interface this reality with any others, as well as disconnect it, at will.

        don’t forget to make your first wish “if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices”

        since we’re supposed to not be dealing with a monkey paw/genie situation, i didn’t use it this way, but in general I’d recommend making it your first wish under any such circumstances.

        rephrase as necessary to further weed out possible loopholes.

    A monkeys paw mechanic for everyone in this thread except for me, the annullment of my own bodily needs (eg. sleep, food, water), and i dunno, maybe a cool rock

    1 - safety plan from other poster “if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices”
    2 - maine plan - everyone wakes up to find out we are in a simulation and the real world is a post scarcity start trek like society but with total peace and harmony and none of the fighting
    3 - backup plan - my own personal universe/dimension where I control all aspects of it and can enter it and leave it whenever I want. It exists outside of our time/space so when I enter and leave I can go anywhere within either as a destination

    1. Infinite positive-effects-only wishes (what I consider to be positive)

    2. Everyone now has empathy and selflessness, eliminating corruption, greed, stepping over each other, exploitation, etc.

    3. Post-scarcity society, eliminating class even more than the above, since everyone can own whatever they want. Basically a real life Replicator.

    4. Since I got infinite wishes, given number 3, society will have an even bigger trash problem than we already have. So a convenient, self-contained black hole we can put trash into, inventing a method of creating dark matter, revolutioning how we store energy, Futurama-style, which then becomes free due to post-scarcity.

    5. Healthy planet, healthy people, healthy animals, plants, etc. Also includes mental health (infinite wishes are nice)

      A replicator solves the trash problem, you just throw the trash in the replicator and it breaks it down to build stuff.

      I choose you to get the wishes. Your list is my list. I don’t wish for immortality - since I had kids, I’m disqualified. But 10x the lifespan with hundreds of years feeling like I do now, that would be nice, and with the replicator technology (who will get the manual on how to service these) the carrying capacity of the earth should be higher.
