Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone's mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn't have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.

const SIMULATIONTHEORY = true. All humans on Earth are transported out of physical existence and unknowingly adapted to the realm of computer abstracta. From their perspective, nothing has changed: they have always lived in a post-scarcity, interstellar society with a benevolent, queer-friendly, communist government. The current owner of the simulation is startled to see the program start of its own accord, but altruistic enough to allow it to keep running:

I see this as an absolute win.

Whenever someone attempts to make a golf swing, change the friction coeficcient of the grip to zero.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sure, there is a period of turmoil on golf courses around the globe. Shenanigans ensue. Eventually, people switch to croquet and disk golf:

Mission accomplished.

Two buns enclosing, ketchup, onions, lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes are at your fingertips.

A pillow with the perfect height and that doesn't flatten after a week of use.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I chased this for a while. One was never enough, two too many. Got gifted pillows by my wife a couple times, nothing ever worked. Finally found one, and it's been huge. We also put a pad on top of our mattress, and don't know if it's the combination of that plus the pillow, but for the last few years I've used just this one pillow, and it's been great. I take it with me when we go somewhere for a night.

This is a small one, but can you please make it so that all menu descriptions actually list all the major dish components so I'm never surprised by secret onions or mustard again?

Edit: oh no I've been reading your monkey's paw responses.... You're gonna make restaurants disclose everything clearly but ensure that onions and mustard are in every dish from now on, aren't you?

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

As you say, it has been done; onions and mustard for everyone:

5 acres of woodland in the Appalachian Mountains. With a small house on it. Could be 1 room like an old style cabin.

I wanna leave all the bullshit behind. Raise a garden and maybe a few goats and chickens.

Hello wise one,

I find the Earth's gravity of 9.80665m/s² a bit much. Sometimes my back hurts from standing too long, and the general weight of existence sits heavy on my shoulders.

Can you make it a bit more comfortable please. Maybe 9.80664?

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You find yourself suddenly 3 meters up in the air, which is sufficient to change your personal gravitational acceleration by 0.00001 m/s^2. As you can imagine, it is not fun to fall 3 meters. You do anyway. (Alternatively, the mass of every human-made object on the planet gets deleted into the ether, reducing the total mass of earth, but that's not the simplest solution)

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sure, I have now reduced the Earth's gravity to 9.80664% of it's previous value (i.e., ~0.96m/s²) by removing material in the Earth's core and mantle. Everything on Earth now weighs less than on the moon. Earthquakes shake the planet, massive fissures swallow cities whole, and the atmosphere begins to disperse into the vacuum of space. Humans barely have enough time to escape to the moon and Mars: the vast majority are left behind. On the bright side, your back no longer hurts:

[–] te_abstract_art@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Thanks that's perfect, my back feels great.

If I'm allowed another wish, can I get a space suit? Ideally ASAP

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Ah, Gandalf the Pink. Is that what happens if the Balrog gets you a second time?

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That is, canonically, almost exactly what Saruman's robes are supposed to look like:

"I looked then and saw that his robes, which had seemed white, were not so, but were woven of all colours..." - Gandalf the Grey, The Fellowship of the Ring

Iridescent like an opal.

Everybody's got to fart loudly once a day in front of people.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Uh, sure? Everyone must fart loudly once a day in front of people OR THEY WILL DIE. (I have made it so that everyone is aware of the aliment.) On the bright side, the social taboo around flatulence goes away:

Your request has given a random depressed person a brief respite from their lethargy.

[–] CleoCommunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There are too many possible things to ask

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The wisest wish, may be no wish at all...

For the Epstein list to be released and for all the wealthy pesos to be executed.

Could I also get the ability to bend reality?

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Body swap! You are now a wizard who is cursed to answer wishes with an ironic twist. I am finally freeee!
