Nah, of the things pictured I'd go with money and find love the old-fashioned way.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Once you have a ton of money how do you separate true love from people who just want to be around you for your money? Look at the personal lives of billionaires. These are highly dysfunctional people.

[–] Hardeehar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

True love won't solve life's problems either, lol. Dysfunctional people will dysfunction. I say money, so that you can afford therapy.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, I wasn't thinking billionaire level of money. But even if I was, you don't have to disclose you're a billionaire when going on a date.

I feel like professional match makers would be the best way. You get the personalized touch of a real person, and have an intermediary if things go bad.

Being Superman is probably the best. Functionally immortal, perfect disguise is just 1 pair of glasses away so you can still find love, hold the world hostage for unlimited money you can move through a swiss bank.

Easy there, Homelander

Immortal

That's fun for the first million years or so but then get a little boring. Then about about a billion years when the sun starts heating up and effectively scorches and sterilized earth, you better hope humanity has found a different place to live. By the time the universe dies of heatdeath, you will have gone insane from trillions of years of lonelyness

[–] alertsleeper@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sure if you are superman you can find another planet with intelligent life.

Else, maybe you can terraform some other planet and help humanity move there, you are fu**ing Superman after all

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

By the time heat death occurs you'll have lived for trillions over trillions over trillions of years (10^1500 earth years if I recall correctly), probably alone because everyone died except you. Them heat death occurs, meaning no more planets, no more stars, not even black holes will be left You'll then spend eternity in a black void with nothing.

Fun times!

Not for me, I feel like I would get bored pretty quickly.

[–] jabberati@social.anoxinon.de 1 points 1 year ago

@rikudou @Maddie And then you fall in love with someone who only is with you for the money.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Good choice finding love the old-fashioned way.

Though I think there are better wishes to make than just money, it's understandable out of the options here.

Love is better than money, of course, but probably not from a wishing well.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You would think so but sometimes they can still be a pain in your ass, even if it's true love.

I'll take the pile of money.

I always like it when my true love is in my ass. Even if it hurts a little.

[–] Darukhnarn@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

You’ll notice much more when there is no love in your life than when there is no money. Although it doesn’t seem to be that way, but standing at a loved ones grave really puts things into perspective.

[–] AngryMob@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Everyone in here talkin about love, superman, etc.

Im sitting here looking at the most bizarre take on an xwing i think I've ever seen.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It appears to be a Λ-wing rather than an X-wing...

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Gotta keep those Disney lawyers off your back.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be happiest with true love over an x-wing, tbh.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

What if, they're one and the same??

[–] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Now she can wish for a Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus and they can both be happy

[–] Scrof@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Gonna need that wheelbarrow of money to pay for fuel though.

[–] callyral@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

just wish to have perfect disguises then disguise yourself as a different customer.

if it's a good wishing well it shall be fooled, as you asked for perfect disguise

[–] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Have philosophers managed to put together a universal best wish?

The best thing I can think of is: true and abiding justice for all of humanity.

I'm sure there's a monkey's paw in there somewhere, but I feel like it would potentially have the best outcome for as many people as possible?

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As much happiness in the universe as possible.

[–] designatedhacker@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Wish for omnipotence. Now you can do whatever you want. Now that you have that, make yourself incrementally smarter so you can better define smart each time. Become indestructible, but not like a super strong dead piece of metal like that asshole well would've done. Then transform the human race into a spacefaring utopian, post scarcity society where your new smartass self defines what that is. Basically become a real benevolent god.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

As a certified super wise guy™️, my best wish would be no wish at all.

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

That's ... depresssing?

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

"Perfect life"

There, fixed. Whatever makes your life perfect, you get it.
