You have one wish with certain limitations. What do you wish for?

r/

As the title says, you have one wish only.

The limitations are as follows:

You cannot wish for more wishes, or anything that could grant more wishes for a price or twist, such as The Monkeys Paw.

You cannot wish for an infinite or absurd amount of anything(money, gold, knowledge, e.t.c)

If you wish to alter time, it will affect you and your knowledge, and you will have no knowledge of what you have done to time, and you could even simply cease to exist even if you altered recent time (butterfly effect)

If you wish for a “superpower” of any kind, it cannot be limitless (e.g infinite strength, controlling matter or gravity, mind control).

Also, no combination wishes. One only. For example, you could wish to never need to eat again, but you would still need water, as opposed to wishing to never require sustenance again, which would cover both, but you could still become ill.

So, what do you wish for? 1 billion dollars? Bring back a lost loved one? Being able to speak, read and write all known human language? Raise your IQ to 300? Have a mythological creature be your loyal companion?

    Cure the myriad of health problems in my extended family such that we all live a permanently healthy reasonable human lifespan.

    I guess I’ll take 500 billion dollars.

    1. My family and I will live comfortably and never have to work ever again
    2. I would leave generational wealth to my child and future generations
    3. I would be able to do some real, actual, tangible good with my money in my free time (helping the poor, sick, and hungry)
    4. I would still have enough money to do all of the above AND buy TikTok and completely dismantle it down to its parts, leaving it a former shell of itself like Myspace is today, hopefully helping to steer our society away from the brink of social collapse by removing a major source of dopamine addiction, degeneracy, and mental/emotional manipulation of our youth.

    I’d wish for a button that will spawn food, only food. Anything that I, or anyone else who has access to The Button, happens to be craving will get the food.

    If that’s a no-go, then 600 billion Canadian dollars.

    $50B legitimately, post tax in a series of managed accounts in liquid assets is solid, just outside of the top 25 richest in the world
