if you had one wish.

[Scarim Coral]

I would wish myself to be "perfect". Ok that I know that wish wouldn't work too well since perfect is a subjectuve definition but I view pefect to be without flaws like lazy and unhealthy (I guess I can throw in being smarter and have more muscule) etc. If I had a more can do attitude and was at pefect health, nothing can hold me back at my goals.

 

[Headsprouter]

Depending on how you phrase it, that wish could easily doom the human race to rapid extinction. Personal desire is the primary driving force behind nearly everything we collectively have ever done. Even the kind of generous person who spends their entire lives helping others can trace their motivations in part to selfish desires.

Yup, you're right, phrasing is always important, but I think you get what I mean, but you're right in saying the genie may not!

I suppose I'd need to mention selfishness when it's necessary, or something similar. Maybe go in-depth and mention things like disregard for others. Basically to make humans take the good of everyone else into account when making decisions. Maybe I should include the good of nature and the planet as a whole...

 

[The Event]

The ability to change people (including myself) or animals mentally or physically in any way I want to.

Make myself immortal
Give myself the ideal body
Make my dog immortal
Make millions as the world's best cosmetic surgeon
Heal the sick
Turn every member of the WBC gay
Do things to terrorists that they really woudn't like

And lots more.

 

[immortalfrieza]

I'd wish to be immortal, as in truly immortal, ageless past my prime, and unable to be killed or even permanently harmed in any way. With this, anything else I want or will ever want I can eventually get on my own. Unlike most, I don't really care much if people I know or will know die or anything, and I would eventually move on to other universes in order to avoid the death of the universe, so that's no problem.

 

[SadisticFire]

Self Sustainable virtual reality kit. Like, just a small little locker that you get into/laydown in, hook up a few wires, and have it both somehow keep you alive, as well as being energy self sufficient.(Creating energy outa nothing, screw you conservation of mass and energy). Basically allow me to take control of a reality identical to the real one, just allowing me to do whatever I want.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

I must confess, my wish is boring and tried. I'd just wish for infinite money in my bank. Yeah, not so creative, but man! They say money can't buy happiness. I say that's the most bullshit saying man has ever conjured from his mouth.

 

[SanguiniusMagnificum]

My own pocket dimension, existing outside the laws of space and time, and all the perks coming with that like,oh, I don't know, immortality, omnipotence, omnipresence, the power of creation and destruction etc... It comes down to having my own little(?) sandbox where I would be able to escape to when life gets too boring...

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

The power of teleportation is just too useful.

-No being late for anything, EVER.
-No saving money for expensive trips. Or vehicles.
-No situations you want to avoid.
-Also, you would always have an alibi for EVERYTHING. Invite some people in, go into your bathroom, teleport to do whatever, then teleport back in and exit the bathroom. Boom, you can do anything and get away with it.

unless they know that you can teleport.
then you will be prime suspect for everything bad for the rest of your life.

Well obviously I'd wanna be careful with revealing my power.

 

[krugerrand123]

I would wish to be an omnipotent/immortal being who is always in control of a country, which would stay the same unless I changed the country. It could also be in anytime and anyplace. It would be fun to keep trying to make this country successful by working on it through the years that it exists. To make it more fun, the people could rebel against me, and even over through me, but I would still be the next ruler, one way or another.

 

[Julius Terrell]

As much Dragonball as I've watched, I ALWAYS thought having the Instant transmission move would be so fucking awesome. Being anywhere I want would make planes,trains, and automobiles obsolete.

Either that or infinite money. I'm sick of women saying they wouldn't date me because I'm broke. Once I'm filthy rich it doesn't matter after that. The women would be lining up at my door.

 

[Wickatricka]

I'd just not wish for anything so me and the genie could hang out.. unless he's a dbag then a invisibility of course. That is the right answer and anyone who says anything different is mad.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

I'd wish for the powers of Mr. Sinister + absolute immortality and invulnerability.

Flight, super speed, and teleportation would be nice too but I'm already stretching it.

 

[Estranged180]

I would like the power to make people poo out of their mouths.

So let me get this straight... You want your power to make people talk shit. I think I got this one already, as well as the ability to see silly things happen all around me all day long. It's kind of hilarious when the two coincide. Quick example. Today, I heard someone go completely OFF to someone else about how they could do a 360° with their Razor scooter, while the other person consistently denied that he could. So, the first kid makes his first attempt with his scooter thingy, and faceplants so hard that his two front teeth wind up embedded in the pavement, and a broken arm to boot. The kid's friend called an ambulance, presumably for me, because I almost died laughing. That's the other half of the silliness thing that I keep seeing happen around me... the ambulance decided I didn't look too healthy, so instead of dealing with the screaming, bleeding kid, they put me on oxygen. That's when I told them I wasn't the casualty they were looking for (complete with the jedi hand wave thing).

Stupidity + shit-talking = a Happy Estranged180. Just give me some popcorn first.

Other example... guy I know gets completely stoned, and decides he can fly, and of course, he's talking shit about being able to do so... so he goes up on a roof, and jumps before anyone can really stop him (not that anyone was paying any attention to him... so there's that). He wound up impaled through the back with a bit of rebar, punctured lung, bleeding, the whole 9 yards.

 

[dementis]

It doesn't sound all that much but I'd wish for phyiscal fitness and charisma, think how the charisma score in D&D effects how you look as well as how good you are at smooth talking. That's what I want, life is much easier for the good looking and the charismatic.

 

[BRENDOG28]

Is it wrong for me to wish for a little happiness, Id wish for a happier life, being able to have a decent relationship, settle down and raise a family. Id wish for myself and those closest to me to just have some good things happen to us

 

[averydeeadaccount]

Omnipotence. Who needs puny wishes when you can change shit by yourself?

That has always been my ultimate power fantasy. Why would you need anything else when you can just make what you need out of nothing? Why wish for immortality when you can die, then resurrect yourself, or make yourself immune to everything? Why wish the world was peaceful when you could make every harmful thought any will ever have non-existent? etc.

My megalomania is showing isn't it?

But if I can't have that, I think I would pick telekinesis/telepathy in the form of dark energy. It's one thing to pick up a car with your mind, it's another to pick up a car with your mind, while it's bleeding shadowy wisp of black smoke. The visual aesthetic matters much to me.

I see no reason to hold back in these situations, therefore the only reasonable conclusion is:
'Complete Control of Everything'
The one superpower to trump them all. What's that you say? your omnipotent? well not anymore your not, because I have complete control of everything.
There is no possible situation when this power is not the best choice.

 

[Angie7F]

I would wish for money.
I just want to not have to worry about income.
I can cope with age and politics and relationships.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I would go for the superpower I got in the most recent superpower's thread. The power to change and control organic life in anyway I want, this works on myself and others. So I can cause immortality, alter the appearance of any organic being, create life, cause death. All pretty cool.

 

[Innegativeion]

Psychic powers.

Umbrella term to cover all sorts of neat tricks;

-Hypnosis
-Mind Reading
-Teleportation
-Telekinesis
-Levitation
-Foresight

I see no reason to hold back in these situations, therefore the only reasonable conclusion is:
'Complete Control of Everything'
The one superpower to trump them all. What's that you say? your omnipotent? well not anymore your not, because I have complete control of everything.
There is no possible situation when this power is not the best choice.

That IS omnipotence. So in other words, the two of you would cancel each other out, causing a time-space paradox in the 6th dimension, entangling the two of you in an eternal, mutual, paralysis.

Don't worry, I'm sure some civilization will find your entangled husks and worship you guys as gods or something.

 

[THE_JOKE_KING33]

Nigh-Omnipotent Reality Warping, it's not boring like Omnipotence would be, I can do whatever I want, and if the Genie tries something funny I can "fix" it so that nothing happens to me/the power.
