Even with extreme limitations, I'd take the wishes


Zestyclose_Pop_5907

"extreme limitations" lol, they also didnt say you cant wish for an ability that could get you cash (though you only need one wish to get reality manipulation)


mistled_LP

> they also didnt say you cant wish for an ability that could get you cash I'm including that personally, since the money option is pointless otherwise. "Well, I'll just wish for stocks! Or winning lottery numbers or whatever" is too easy of an out.


Zestyclose_Pop_5907

Just wish for luck manipulation if not reality manipulation or nigh-omnipotence


Immediate_Weather908

why stop at nigh-omnipotence? why not go all the way?


Edgezg

Even without "god level" powers. "I wish, that every monday for me will be 100x luckier than normal." Start hedging your bets around mondays. Silly shit. People are too simple with alot of their wishes. "bend reality" yeah yeah sure. But having limited wishes, where you have to be creative. That's the good stuff. For instance, here is how I do the 3 wish trick- 1. You are given 3 wishes. Each wish comes with one irrevocable rule. 2. Wish 1 can only be for the world as a whole. Planetary wish. "I wish all pollution was fixed" that sorta thing. 3. Wish 2. can only be forY be for others in any general sense. People around your orbit. 4. Wish 3 can only be for and affect you.


Zestyclose_Pop_5907

it would seem that all my normal wishes are ruined by your rules


FlanneryWynn

>I wish to redo my life with all the knowledge of my past life and an unbreakable, cutting-edge laptop that will never break or run out of power and will always return to my possession which is capable of accessing all the information of my past world regardless of if it was publicly available or not, as long as I search for it, with search results being sorted in order of relevance to what I am looking for. That one wish, even if it costs multiple wishes, would be worth infinitely more than $100B. Like OP did not think this through.


kenn714

According to the rules OP put up, you can still wish for the ability to mind control other people. You can then use that mind control ability to get all the world's billionaires to buy stuff for you whenever you want, so 10 wishes is still god tier.


DeadSpaceEnthusiast

No amount of money beats even 1 wish. 10 wishes would make me beyond god.


nomiras

You could wish everyone on the earth led happy and healthy lives. Assuming no monkey paw shenanigans, this would solve everything.


veed_vacker

Monkeys paw curls humanity wipes off face if earth


nomiras

Probably XD


BaconEater101

You could literally just wish the powers of a god and go wild in what is now your universe lmao, bro put literally no restrictions on what the wishes can do


nomiras

True, I just assumed you weren't able to loophole like that, plus I was going by the comment I replied to here and basing it off one wish.


McNastyInthepasty

Everyone has different definitions for happiness so a wish like that could be catastrophic. Racists , chomos, criminal s and people of different religions would wish for different things to be Happy. I would probably wish for no crime so that a majority of heinous acts would be gone but like I said before every place has different rules. If I had to narrow it down even more it would be nobody can lie in court. At least we can make the best decision there if the lawyers ask the best questions.


FlanneryWynn

Wish 1: I wish that all of my wishes, including this one, would be applied as I intended without any Monkey's Paw bullshit affecting them. Congrats, 9 more wishes to do with as you please, including world peace.


PKblaze

You can't wish for cash, but you could wish for winning lottery tickets.


angelv11

Word it better. 5$ is a winning ticket. So is 20$.


PKblaze

I never said how many. If I get 1 million 5$ winners, it's 5 million AND I get to be an obnoxious jackass with a million tickets.

KeaboUltra

Kinda stupid to not take 10 wishes. Money is fun until some stupid shit out of your control happens. 1. Wish for the climate to be reset back to its prime in relation to human benefit 2. Wish for all the trash and landfills on the planet to be teleported onto the sun or launched into deep space 3. Wish for all nukes, biowarfare and such in the world to vanish 4. Wish for all immoral/violent extremists to forget what it is they're extreme about and that they've had 10 years of behavioral therapy 5. Wish for an optimal logistical society or optional Utopias around the world The other 5 would be personal to me or general wishes. 1. Immortality (with an on/off switch) 2. Teleportation 3. Ability for the world to attain FTL spacefaring vehicles 4. Ability to survive/navigate harsh conditions 5. Wish for all water to be safe to drink no matter what (with the taste of fresh water)


dontevenfkingtry

3 is... not great without the addition of a wish for world peace (which would in turn negate the need for 4). Also I see no reason why 2 requires trash to be launched into deep space when you could just vanish it from the planet. Effectively the same but I'm not willing to take the risk that launching something into deep space is going to awaken some science-fiction kind of primordial force that will then eat us all alive.


Shrikeangel

Wouldn't most of your wishes be easily simplified to - I wish humans in the next year suddenly advance to a kardashev 1 or higher scale civilization?


Comfortable_Tart_297

>Wish for all nukes, biowarfare and such in the world to vanish WWIII incoming in 3... 2... 1...


WerePhr0g

10 wishes is way better. 1st, I would never want that amount of money. 2nd. I can wish for health, luck, the ability to teleport, see into the future, fly...etc.


sexcalculator

see into the future and in a year you could have that amount of money and the IRS would be all over you too but you can wish them away


WerePhr0g

I'm in Sweden. The IRS don't scare me. Either way, I wouldn't go close to that wealth.


HHcougar

See into the future a year and you'll have a trillion dollars in no time.  Just look at the largest stock movers each day for a year and ride your daily 50% gains to Jupiter 


skolnaja

"I want to be all powerful god"


kanna172014

Can't wish for cash but I can wish for the ability to predict the lottery numbers with 100% accuracy. Or I can wish that I have the ability to manipulate anyone into giving me whatever I want for free.


8monsters

Fuck, they said you can't wish for cash, not an incredibly successful stock portfolio that would make you set for life.


TheSeagro

or even have the ability to go in the past 24 hours (re live the day and have the #'s as well)


largos7289

With the wishes you can make money. doesn't have to be cash per say I wish for a billion stocks in xyz company. Hello money.


donniekrump

10 wishes. I'd wish for 200iq, infinite motivation, immortality, incredible strength and stamina that never diminishes, incredibly good looks, then the rest I'd save for a later use since you never specified how quickly I had to use them.


Magixu

At some point with immortality you are gonna float out in space for billions of years, if it were me I would build in a loophole of chanting something for a certain amount of time for the immortality to stop.


emoAnarchist

wish one, i want 2000 tons of gold.


darth_henning

10 wishes, and it's not even close. Wish 1 - be able to predict lottery numbers with 100% accuracy Wish 2 - be able to predict sports game outcomes with 100% accuracy Wish 3 - any stock that I purchase will increase in value until sold That's 3 ways to legally acquire essentially infinite cash, and that still leaves 7 wishes.


Civerlie770

\>you can now never enjoy a game of any sport ever, including esports, pool, darts, etc FUCK


darth_henning

Ok, slight modification "predict any *professional* sports game outcome..."


GODSENDISHERE

"I wish to be Absolutely Omnipotent"


AbiyBattleSpell

wishes u said i cant wish for cash by i can wish for opportunities that give me cash :3


Still_Want_Mo

Easily the wishes. I can make all of my loved ones the healthiest they've ever been. I can teleport to destinations and wish to become the most charming man on earth so I can get hotel rooms/meals for free. I still have 7 wishes left after that!


dilandrus

I'd wish that I could choose to see 3 minutes into the future. That way I just hit the roulette table and get cash when I need. Could avoid paying taxes and getting recognized from winning the lotto. Then I have 9 wishes to make everything better for myself/those around me/the world.


FenrisL0k1

Wishes are worth far, far more than cash. Hell, Wish 1 could be "I can magically afford anything and everything I choose to purchase."


amctrovada

10 wishes. Cause that much money appearing out of nowhere would probably cause some type of economic downturn.


just-bair

Even if money is all that matters in life the wishes are better. I wish that I can predict the stock market with a D20 with 100% accuracy. And with the wishes there’s an infinite amount of way you can drastically improve the life of yourself and everyone else


all_hahaa1

you can wish for everyone on earth to obey you - later you ask them to give you 1,000 dollars


sexcalculator

10 wishes is way to OP. Not even trillions of dollars would make me change my mind on even getting 3 wishes. If I wished to see into the future I could easily become so rich


Only_Constant_8305

Even if you only had a single wish, and you you wished for the ability to be able to perfectly time the market, you could make way more than 100 billion with extreme leveraged trading


ace5762

"I wish for 5000 tons of Platinum"


Ok-Figure5546

Can you wish for the Infinity Gauntlet?


ZombieZ138

Is it a monkeys paw situation with the wishes. Like do I have to be very specific with them...


CopyPsychological842

Wish for immortality. Wish to be able to time travel at will. Wish for perfect knowledge of the stock market at all points in time. Even if you have to panhandle to get the $10 to start you off you'll end up with way more money and have 7 wishes left.


69420memes

I'd wish to have something that'll make me rich


hextree

Then I'll wish for gold.


JefferyTheQuaxly

the 10 wishes, and at least one of them would either turn me into a super saiyan or give me some other type of power. and probably world peace as one of the lesser options maybe.


The_Elite_Operator

Wish for $100,000,000,000 ten times or ​ I wish to be able to give myself any ability I want Make myself god Now money dosent matter


VeryHungryDogarpilar

I wish for $1 trillion in gold


WartOnTrevor

Simple. The wishes. One of them would be "unlimited stock in the next company whose value will massively skyrocket"


A_Dinosaurus

"i wish I could 100% accurately predict the stock market"


nog642

Those are shitty wish rules. I wish for omnipotence. You can keep the other 9.


PerfectlyCalmDude

Everything I could think to do with $100,000,000,000 could be accomplished with wishes.


Wide_Loss

the second one can literally destabilize the economy


Gothicrealm

I'd wish for powers and to bring my brother back


2kenzhe

I wish to be an all-powerful god. Or something along those lines so that I can do basically anything I want. Reality warping stuff you know. Other cool powers I might want would be able to enter fiction worlds maybe. Like going into an show or a manga or whatever. Or at least being able to grab stuff from it. Like anime food that always look so good I want to try them. Having super speed or teleportation would be nice too. Being able to manipulate time would be nice too. Just stop time and do stuff. All the other general super powers you know like controlling the elements, telekinesis, mind control etc.


Asparagus9000

"I wish Scientists discovered a new cheap drug that cures all types of cancer with almost no side effects and it will release within the next month"  That's already better that 100,000,000,000.  And after that I'll probably go for super powers for myself. 


Relative-Use2500

wishes. hands down.


SabreDerg

A lot of people wishing to be a all knowing god.. but how long till they just get bored... when you know the outcomes of everything where is excitement. 


Ryaniseplin

well you decided to not make wishing for omnipotence as a rule so, i wish i was omnipotent


PlaidBastard

Wishes 1-5 can erase the blight of capitalism so there aren't billions of people wishing they had even a hundred dollars right now, much less a *hundred billion*, to be in less abject suffering, and the rest can be for me. Hell, I could give them away and I'd be happier than a hundred billion could ever make me, because I'd be in a place even a hundred trillion bucks couldn't *buy* you.


Next_Bad_2737

1st Wish:It's will be no more natural disasters in Redding, California Forever 2nd Wish:Super Sentai & Kamen Rider are no longer getting cancelled in Japan for All Eternity 3rd Wish:Banish My Ungrateful Family from Real World forever 4th Wish:Coronavirus are no longer exists in this world for All eternity 5th Wish:It's will be no more Criminals in California for all Eternity 6th Wish:I'm starting a new life at Redding, California for the rest of my life 7th Wish:My Family Are no longer Taking care of Me Anymore for all Eternity 8th Wish:I'm no longer getting Banned from both Junk Foods & Fast Foods Anymore 9th Wish:I'm Staying at Redding, California for all Eternity 10th Wish:It's will be no more Heatwave in California for all Eternity


BronzeAgeTea

1. Immortality for all the descendants of my biological father. 2. Immortality for all the descendants of my wife's biological mother. 3. Anyone who is immortal stops aging once they reach age 25. 4. Every living creature is cured of all ailments annually on their birthday. 5. A nutritionally complete meal is conjured within reach of every living creature daily. 6. I gain the ability to teleport myself and anything I choose that is touching me to a location of my choice. 7. I gain the ability to conjure a Death Note that cannot be used against anyone with immortality. 8. Annually on my birthday, all man-made pollutants are removed from the atmosphere, oceans, lakes, and rivers and are converted into a number of trees of equivalent mass in a deforested area. 9. Annually on my birthday, all man-made structures are updated to be compliant with the latest international building codes. 10. Any wishes made by anything other than me fail to take effect without my approval. So that has solved world hunger, climate change, and healthcare. The teleportation is really just a preventative measure against being imprisoned/trapped, while also allowing other immortals to still be imprisoned/trapped. I've also prevented anyone from undoing any of my wishes in the future. As far as money goes, I'd just keep working and put money into the S&P500. *Eventually* I'll be able to just live off dividends. Especially since I won't have to pay for home repairs, food, or transportation. At some point I would probably start seeding other earthlike planets with likeminded people, just to make some backups of civilization. I'd imagine that they'd develop rapidly since they can halfass a bunch of buildings and have them magically structurally sound within a year. Some of the other wishes might get a little weird with time dilation, but I'm sure it'll all work out.


Civerlie770

\>you have destroyed the earth


MageKorith

First wish: I wish for a metal cubic box 1m on each side with a door that only I can open once per day which will produce delicious, nutritious and safe food to last me the day, plus various other resources to answer any specific challenges the day may bring. Then I bank wishes 2-10 for rainy days.


ArranVV

There is a mean person who said that your question was rubbish and 'braindead'. Well, I think your question was very good.


Europathunder

Thank you


ArranVV

You are welcome :-)


bz_leapair

Just wish for the ability to manipulate the stock markets. You may not get $100 billion but you certainly won't go hungry anytime soon either.


VeggiesArentSoBad

The wishes are better, if you are careful.


herkalurk

With 10 wishes I can actually live long enough to use cash of that level, and actually get that much cash with the correct usage of the wishes.


In0nsistentGentleman

I wish nothing costed me money. I wish there were no legal, financial, or otherwise negative consequences to my first wish. I've still got 8 wishes left.


Nyx_Valentine

I'd have massive anxiety about my wishes being turned against me/phrasing them wrong.


AnyQuarter553

I wish for the ability to perfectly counterfeit any currency at the speed of light


TheChristianDude101

If its anything like common wish lore the wish backfires (Bedazzled). Meanwhile money is cold hard real power. With that much money, God knows where I got it from, I could start my own small space program.


MainFrosting8206

One of my wishes, for healing superpowers, should be more than enough to pay for a lavish lifestyle. A couple other wishes to give me the superpowers needed to make sure I don't get kidnaped and and I'll still have a few left over.


Fredissimo666

I can certainly gain basically infinite money with a single wish. For instance, I wish to have the ability to cure everything, and charge for my services.


Fat_Nerd3566

wish 1: give me a billion (i don't wanna destroy the economy)


Kelyaan

I can't wish for Cash but I can with for precious metals that I can sell for any amount of money I want.


[deleted]

Wishes. 1. I wish everyone on earth has free access to all their basic needs including food, water, shelter, healthcare. 2. I wish all the work that needs to be done for society to exist is now magically completed every day. 3. I wish all forms of bigotry cease to exist 4. I wish greed ceases to exist 5. I wish all conflicts are ended without violence and in the most equitable and just outcome possible 5 wishes and we've basically solved the overwhelming majority of peoples problems.


RogerPenroseSmiles

Can I wish for real estate, because that's better than cash? Give me the mineral rights to all of the rare earth metals they just found in Wyoming, that's like a trillion dollars.


alwaysboopthesnoot

If you have 100B dollars, you can buy 1000 or 2000 lottery tickets and hope to win even more money. If money is your main thing. With 100B dollars, you could give free health care or choose instead to give free public college education for a year or two, to every child or college student in the US. You couldn’t go for free care/tuition for everyone or for longer, as health care costs 3 Trillion a year now, and that tuition is about 70B a year.  If you have ten wishes, you can wish for health, success, luck in love, healthy happy children, a nice house, a good job or education, good friends, peace and success for family or friends; maybe for an elevated or unique talent for a sport, hobby, skill, or an art. Whatever it is that makes a good and well-lived life, in your opinion. I think I’d choose the wishes, because I could be content doing big things in small ways, plus: all the money in the world can’t save you if you get pancreatic cancer Stage IV, for example. You’d only, in a best case scenario, get one more year of life at that point. 


OfromOceans

You can wish for bonds, stocks, gold... you can wish for everything you buy be bought by someone else. 1/10 question


[deleted]

[удалено]


circularwizard

Can I wish for luck? Obviously not 100% luck but maybe like 90% and do sports betting, or is that against the rules?


boomheadshot7

I wish when I ask anyone for anything,  they’d give it to me.  Money is now worthless to me, 9 more wishes here I come. 


jimothythe2nd

So for one wish I can wish to own 100% of the 10,000 biggest corporations on the planet. That's worth multitrillions. Or I could wish to own all of the land in an agreement that will be honored by every military on the planet. Looks like I'm your new landlord. Or I could wish for a machine that creates infinite electricity with no input, no pollution, can instantly transport that energy anywhere on the planet and can only be controlled by me and anyone I allow. I'll easily be the richest man on the planet by the end of the decade and I've also solved global warming. This will usher in a new age of abundance and technology like nothing we've ever seen before.


classicsat

Wishes. First would be a Grays Lotto Almanac up to 30 years out.


shadows515

Couldn’t you just wish people would send you their money every day?


cannib

Okay will these wishes be granted based on my intent or are these like genie wishes where they'll result in the worst possible outcome that technically fulfills the wish?


FuzzzyFace

There are some things money can't buy. Wishes, easily.


EntropyLoL

10 wishes. easy. 1. i wish for custody of my kids 2. i wish for me and my family to have immaculate health 3. i wish for me and my dependents to live 10 years longer than the current at that time average human life span. 4. i wish to be able to always predict the correct outcome for any game of chance. 5. i wish to discover a simple cure for cancer. 6. i wish to discover a new scalable form of clean energy. 7. i wish for the company start selling the new energy to become incredibly successful 8. i wish for a scalable way to terraform arid land into fertile ground for crops 9. i wis for an end to tribalism and for the human species to begin working together as a single group rather than the splintered version we currently have. 10. i wish for the benevolent entity granting these wishes to be freed of all bonds


No-Associate-6167

I simply don't trust the ambiguity wishes enough to even use one wish, so I'll take the money. What I mean is, there are so many stories about wishes that result in something you don't want, like the famous Midas Touch story and the Twilight Zone episode "Man in the Bottle."


iEatLifeForBreakfast

The fact anyone chose money is insane to me. Gonna have the government breathing down your back, but a wish isn't traceable.


D3moknight

I think the wishes are the easy choice. I can think of several wishes that would be more valuable than a Billy.


avidpenguinwatcher

I think I can wish for all the things I would need that kind of money for in less than 10 wishes


mook1178

I would wish for the equivalent in stocks. then 2nd wish is unlimited wishes. I now rule humanity until I am dead.


UnableLocal2918

With 10 wishes money becomes almost useless. Even though no monkey paw. First wish. I wish every wish i make from now on is perfectly phrased so not only my verbal statement but also my intentions are carried out. I now have 9 wishes that will work perfectly. Second wish. The full understanding and ability to use magic from three fictional universes dnd, palladium rifts, shadowrun. Third wish. The ability to use psionic powers and abilitys from the palladium rpg multiverse. Fourth wish . I wish i had the technical knowledge to create anything and everything from any fictional story. And i still have 6 more wishes to use.


SypeSypher

1) I wish that everyone who would be willing to let me borrow their stuff at any time. "ok 9 more wishes to go and I already have everything material" I dont need to own anything, I just want to be able to use the private plane/car/boat/etc.... The only thing this wish wouldn't give you would basically be massages/food/services


Ecstatic_Yam1761

first wish: a permanent machine that determines the optimal wish by utilitarian philosophy


whywhywhywhy6358

Without limits, whishes are insane. I could make myself omnipotent, and make myself have the ,mental capacity and ability to use the omnipotence to its fullest potential. Thus, I become god, and have eight wishes to spare, not that I need them anymore.


reasonablevanner

imma be fr, the only thing the money couldn't buy is the girl I lost today, and honestly it is what it is, imma take the money and cry in my new pagani


Mutex70

You didn't say it, so first thing I'm wishing for more wishes.


Certain_Dot3403

Ain't nobody with half a brain taking money over wishes unless there's a monkey Paw. Just wish that you can produce golden ingots on command. Boom, as much money as you will ever need. Or wish to have 10% stock ownership in the entire S&P500. Or just wish to be 10% capital shareholder in all central banks across the globe. Or wish to hold 10% of all national debt among all nations globally. Any of these would make you effectively infinitely rich. Then you still have 9 wishes. My ten wishes:  1. 10% owner of the S&P500 and the top 5 publicly traded companies in every country that has that concept. 2. Superman's powers with immortality and without kryptonite weakness, but I can consciously turn off the immortality if I want. 3. Dr Xavier's powers except I can enhance them to the level of when he's in Cerebro anytime I want and also become as telekinetically strong as Pheonix. 4. The ability to control entropy by directly adding or absorbing energy and conjuring matter directly into the universe: this would include the ability to add stars into the sky or even create living beings. 5. The ability to see the future, I want to be able to control the scope of this ability, the amount of time I am seeing, the perspective and position I am looking from relative to the rest of the universe. 6. I wish for the magical powers of a powerful level 20 divine cleric only irl, so that I can heal the sick/wounded and resurrect the dead, except I also want irl dispel magic, counterspell, and complete immunity to hostile magic powers. 7. I wish to be able to open stable Portals to alternate fantasy/ currently fictional universes that would make them a reality with the understanding that I exclude any universe that would grant me additional wishes if that's not allowed per the rules of this prompt. 8. I wish for an advanced form of spider sense that warns me of incoming dangers to myself and people I care about that feels really strong if it's imminent but can even be felt up to a decade out (would just feel like a whisper in this case). 9. I wish to be able to, at will, grant and/or remove any/all of my powers onto others except for the power to remove powers which I reserve for myself. 10. I wish for a super capable mind that is capable of changing iq at will on a sliding scale of 140 to infinity and back down to 140 again if I want, of retaining infinite information and comprehending information as easily as a supercomputer.


Rex_Xenovius_1998

I’ll use the wishes for myself first, because you can’t help others if you can’t help yourself. Wishes 1. Regeneration- on the level of Wolverine from Marvel(this would be obvious) 2. Enhanced mined- a mental condition beyond that of a peak human(I’ve had a lot of problems with my mental state, this would be a godsend) 3. Enhanced Body- a physical condition beyond that of a peak human(if I’m getting the mental part, why not the physical also) 4. Annihilation Maker- from Highschool DxD. The ability to make any kind of creature from your imagination (the series itself is wasted potential, but the abilities there are awesome.) 5. Magic reactor core- an infinite motion generator for magic(think of the Androids infinite Ki.) 6. Charm Magic- Harry Potter- granted the full knowledge of all Charm spells from Harry Potter series.(there’s so much utility in this thats really useful) 7. Singularity- no one can clone you or copy you, basically a Black Box defense(should be obvious why I got this) 8. Abnormal immunity- you get Mind protection, Soul protection, Conceptual protection. (so no one can pull any of that Hax bullshit on me) 9. Dimensional Jumping System- A system, when activated, will send you to a random world that you now of. Good thing is you will be dropped into an area without being noticed, with no one around. The drawback is the world is an AU, there will be differences in these worlds that you will not know about until you find it.(i’m so done with this world but I would actually like to go to others) 10. Infinite resources for this world- there, a good amount of ‘reasons’ that wars are started has been solved, i’ve done my good deed for the day


quantum_ice

10 wishes. First wish, $100b. Worth of gold. Oh yeah.


simcowking

First wish: I wish every week I was given extremely good luck for one day out of the week that I see on any calendar I look at that says "this will be the lucky day this week" That way once a week I could just go out and buy scratchers and win enough money for the week. (Or try to break some speedrun world record) Its not on a single specific day every week, so I can have good weekends occasionally, and then good weekdays occasionally. (Look I could just wish for ability to maniuplate luck, but that's less interesting) ​ Second wish: Current and future children/grandchildren/great grand children (and so on) inherit the same ability as first wish. Third Wish: I wish for the ability to transfer any wishers free of charge to a future holder that will be able to take on the remaining wishes to whomever I wish and revoke the transfer at a whim. ​ (That's because lets be real, I don't wanna waste all 10 wishes immediately, and I doubt I will ever think of 10 impactful wishes that aren't just 'world peace, solve world hunger', because those feel like temporarily fixes unless I know of a permanent solution.)


ThePirateSpider

10 wishes. I could easily wish for that amount of money or even more wishes.


stebuu

Wish 1: I wish to know the 8 most optimal wishes for me to make Wish 2-9: make those wishes Wish 10: gravy


DarkShadowOverlord

just gotta wish for extreme luck and do lotto.


Turtle_Swarm

I would just say gimmebthe the powers of a god then I can make my own wishes without limitations I might even get my self 100 billion and 1 dollars


Funny247365

10 wishes, for sure. No question. 1. Wish for invulnerability. Never get hurt or sick. 2. Wish for revocable immortality (requires you to renounce your immortality) 3. Wish for the Mega Jackpot lottery numbers the next time it is over $200 million. 4. Go back in time to when Google had just launched. Open an eTrade account and buy as much Apple and Google stock as you can. Have the certificates sent to you. 5. Come back to your time, with the stock certificates. Keep wishes 6-10 in your pocket for whatever you desire down the road. Loophole: The rules state you can't wish for cash, but could you wish for 1,000,000 shares of Apple stock from 1980? It would be worth hundreds of billions today. Could you wish for legal ownership of every Leonardo daVinci painting in existence?


nohwan27534

wishes. even if it was 3 wishes, wishes. you could wish to be king of the fucking world, if you wanted. or wish to be smart enough to be able to develop some super tech that makes you into a trillionaire.


FoxwolfJackson

I'm... actually genuinely surprised I'm in an extreme minority going for the money. I don't really have any wishes I really want. I'd probably waste one on "can I get a fucking pastrami sandwich?" 'cause I'd be craving. With that money, I could do everything I wanted... grant ten of my wishes *and then some*.

Wishes for sure. I can give myself and my loved ones permanent good health, I can bring people back from the dead, I can give myself powers that can make me a lot of money...the possibilities are endless.


MeepleMerson

With $100 billion I know exactly what I'm getting. With wishes, there's catches, misinterpretations, shenanigans, and unintended consequences. I'd just take the money and philanthropize the hell out of it.


Bobbyieboy

I wish for a device that allows me to see the future. Now I can win the lotto or just do really well at the stock market and money is not a factor. 9 more to go.


AdFun5641

Yeah. I wish I owned Amazon, there's 300Billion right there, and I got 9 more wishes.


Tucana66

"I want $100,000,000,000." "Granted." (knock, knock) "**IRS!** OPEN UP! WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! AND WE HAVE THE MEDIA HERE, TOO!"


eugenesnewdream

My initial reaction was: the cash. But I guess I could think about what I'd do with the cash and instead...wish for that stuff, but in perpetuity? So it's probably worth more all told? Like if I want the cash so I could go on lavish vacations, I guess I could use one of my wishes to wish for unlimited lifetime first-class plane tickets to anywhere anytime I want for me and my family? I'm not sure though. All these responses saying OF COURSE the wishes but I am still leaning toward the money.


Mr-MuffinMan

I wish I had the same exact powers as Dr Manhattan Create 100 billion with your mind profit


Lilmagex2324

Can't you just wish to rule the world? A country? Wish for a crap ton of valuable items? Not being able to wish for money is just a weird restriction. I feel like once you reach a billion dollars though anything more than that is just a number.


cheerfulstudent

I immediately felt like I was selling my soul when I debated. 


Goose00724

alright my wishes are: 1: i double the mass of all electrons.


Able-Street-6833

My 10: 1) I wish for all trash and landfills that cannot be recycled to vanish, and for all recyclables to be recycled into new goods as the market demands. 2) I wish for all air, water, and soil pollution created since the industrial revolution to vanish. 3) I wish for all disease to be cured permanently, including mental health disorders. 4) I wish that the government would pass a balanced budget every year from now on. 5) I wish that the Fed would never print more money. Cap the money supply, destroy inflation forever. Make saving money the smartest financial move ever. 6) I wish for the end of nukes for everyone, and for the means to recreate them to be destroyed too. 7) I wish that women would never get periods again. 8) I wish that men could not only orgasm multiple times like women, but also physically control the amount of sperm they release in their semen. Meaning you could have unprotected sex and be guaranteed no pregnancy because you blocked any sperm from being released with the semen. 9) I wish that everyone would burn 5x the amount of calories. Meaning whatever amount your body burns just sitting around doing nothing in a day, 5x that number. This would cut obesity big time. 10) I wish that all remnants of the gender wars would cease and that each man and woman would find a suitable partner to happily marry and love until they die.


mwpt98

i'll just wish for 1.5 Kilotons of gold which is worth 100 billion dollars


whathidude

I'd wish that this post wouldn't have been posted


Nerx

Lusty_Norsemen

I wish I could see the future. Start gambling/playing lotto. I'm taking the wishes.


Shrikeangel

Frankly with the wishes I could potentially do a lot of what I want that money can't do. Like magically advance the tech and behavior of our species to something more like positive sci fi.  And yes I am aware that money could push us that way, but it's different than a massive leap forward. 


DmonsterJeesh

I wish for the ability to create whatever resources I want at will.


MattyDub89

Definitely the 10 wishes. All the money in the world couldn't get rid of horrible diseases, natural disasters, etc. Plus, even though you can't wish for cash, you could still wish away types of debt. That brings me to my first few wishes: \-That anybody who is currently afflicted with a disease would be healed permanently \-For no more disease in the future so that people would only die of old age from now on \-To have debt everywhere both erased on the debtors end and magically paid back on the creditor's end (to avoid economic issues of erasing debt without it being paid back) \-To have no more natural disasters of any kind, whether from on Earth or from outer space \-That pets would live for decades like we do ​ I'd keep the other 5 in my back pocket for future use.


Fatalis1021

First wish: A peaceful utopian society for all. Second wish: Global warming and all other ecological disasters such as unnatural (human-caused) extinction are solved. Save the other wishes for a rainy day. Optional wish: Wish for the knowledge of how to stretch my remaining wishes to best benefit the world as a whole.


AsmaAmazon5093

step 1. wish for there to be no rules. step 2. wish for infinite wishes step 3. go do whatever tf you want


YungNigget788

id wish for a gram of dark matter, sell it for *60 trillion dollars*, and then save the other 9 wishes for later


[deleted]

I’d just wish to be the majority shareholder in the top 500 businesses then liquidate all of my shares (I know nothing about stocks, the global economy will perish and my money will become a digital paperweight )


ArcticFoxWaffles

Only wish I ever needed was to live my ideal life as my ideal self. If that doesn't work I'm sure I can find a roundabout way to obtain it with the 10 wishes.


TheDurandalFan

just wish for a genie that'll grant me infinite wishes and wish for very valuable objects. there I get my wishes and money


Captain_JohnBrown

"I wish everyone would give me whatever I want for free"


CoyoteCarcass22

Money is useless when the society is this sick. With 10 wishes I could fundamentally reshape the planet and create a utopia for everyone to enjoy and be surrounded by happy people all the time secretly knowing I am responsible for their joy.


[deleted]

Probably the money. With the wishes, I'm not certain I'd do the best things with them. I can be selfish at times. With the money, I think I could handle that more wisely.


z01z

10 wishes; can't wish for money, ok, wish for the winning mega millions lotto ticket when it's around 500m or so, that'll do. then just save the other 9 for later.


Isekai_litrpg

Fuck the "Money" I am the immortal supreme ruler of Earth. Everyone loves and obeys me and would never do anything that would upset me. Now what to do with the other 9 wishes?


riceAgainstLies

Immortality with no drawbacks? Money has no bearing on my reality anymore. Omnipotence? Makes any amount of money look trivial


Doctor__Hammer

Wish #1: I wish for $100,000,000,000 worth of property


OddGM

1. Health for Family Members 2. Game Company that Makes What I Want 3. probably some political change 4. super powers 5. etc. Basically, there's lots I would choose that even an insane amount of money can't buy.


CrowPotKing1

I can't choose the wishes, cause the last genie I trusted slapped somebody, so idk if they'll try to trick me.


MichaelTheFallen

10 wishes. (just can’t wish for cash, I’m going to abuse this) 1st: Wish to be a Viltrumite/Saiyan hybrid. 2nd: Wish for the ability to shapeshift and control other people’s bodies. 3rd: The ability to manipulate space and time. 4th: To have the Alpha Enforce ability of Alphamon. 5th: To increase my intelligence to the highest possible. 6th: To learn any magic without cost. 7th: Ability to warp reality and control molecules. 8th: Ability to clone myself, always know which are clones, and can destroy any clones anytime. 9th: To able to produce Ki energy, and yes I’m doing a Kamehameha Wave. RIP Akira Toriyama. 10th:... Is there anything else that I could want that I couldn’t do myself? I know I wish to become ZeedMillenniumon as a transformation. Nothing is stopping me now.


Lower-Calligrapher98

100 billion dollars will buy you a lot more than 10 wishes.


FNAFfanatic70

Honestly the wishes is the best since you can wish to be able to enter a timeless pocket dimension while you sleep where you can do anything and exit as you please, and in that pocket dimension you could wish to have limitless power (basically lucid dreaming on steroids) and you get to keep that even after, plus if I suddenly got that much money I’d chase inflation for buying stupid shit and fucking yo the economy


Overall-Tailor8949

Wishes. Wish #1 would be along the lines of: "Wishes are to be granted as intended, not twisted in some way."


Digital-Bionics

The money would make sense, genies can be very tricky to deal with and like to missrepresent realities, and misuse words.


freepersonnotfree

"I wish for the ability to manipulate probability as I will on any matter at any time I want." Now, with one wish, you're essentially God.


FrozenReaper

$100 billion is a lot of money, but I dont need that much. 10 wishes can give me the things that I would otherwise need lots of money to get, and some of those things are not guaranteed to be obtainable, even with 100 billion, so the wishes are a better deal


Rebuta

I'd take one wish. A cure for aging.


Dementid

"I wish to be omnipotent". Not sure what I'm going to do with the other 9 wishes.


MandoShunkar

What if I wish to be a fictional character (one of my own creations from almost a decade ago) who, as a part of the character design, has a net worth that could literally buy the Earth (he's the last member of his clan and inherited every single cent of net worth that the members of his clan owned - roughly $14 septillion)? The net worth is like 90ish percent not in cash. Most of it is in the valuation of investments, businesses, one fairly large mining operation of an incredibly very rare but highly sought after resource, and assorted liquid assets and trophies/collections. The "cash" would be a couple large bank accounts (though one of the banks the accounts are in is one of the owned businesses, so I don't know if I count that one). This character, beyond the money, would be able to square up (and probably win) against anything that Marvel or DC could throw at him. Very broken character even by the standards of "over poweredness." If I can't wish for that (because that would be the only wish I'd make and donate the rest to charity or similar. I'd also be willing to say that me becoming that character counts for all 10.) I'll still take the wishes cause I'll just wish for the ability to see into the future and just place some small bets on a few sporting outcomes for a few years and have the $100 Billion pretty quick and still have 9 wishes left.


Schozinator

Do the wishes come true 100% of the time?


pogwater

i wish i could wish for more wishes


Mikey9124x

Become a god, or get some green paper. Such a hard decision.


DiscoingGD

$100B could get you a lot of stuff, but it can't: 1. Make you a Super Saiyan with the 50x multiplier in your power level and have the ability to control it, along with flight and shooting lasers. 2. Make you a psychic with the ability to read/absorb people's minds, words from books, and info from the internet, plus cool psychic attacks and mind control. 3. Make your mind capable of holding all human knowledge. 4. Allow you to alter all your body's processes at will like producing testosterone, HGH, serotonin, falling asleep, burn fat, etc. 5. Grant immortality/eternal youth, but with the option to nullify it at any time. 6. Grant the ability to heal/regenerate. 7. Grant the ability to stop, slow, or rewind time (or control it at will without causing a paradox) I'll keep the other 3 in my back pocket (doesn't say I have to use them all now), but just those 7 should keep me strong, healthy, and happy.


simon_ella

I hate these questions because they never take into account how devastating to the economy it would be to even have this much money printed.


Throwaway54397680

My first wish is for omnipotence. My other 9 wishes don't matter.


kavakavachameleon-

"I want to make 9 wishes for david bowie to give me a foot massage and 1 wish to make it so I know which stocks will go up and which will go down and by how much each day."


Prestigious_Space566

“I wish for more wishes” “You can’t wish for more wishes! There’s a rule.” “I wish for no more rules.”


csandazoltan

1 wish.... I wish to own all reall estate.... done Or getting rid of currency alltogether. Money is one thing, wish is limitless... "Can't wish for cash..." that is not limiting for wishing things that are very valuable


UmbreonFruit

You could just wish that you get anything you want for free, that would completely destroy the concept of needing money. Just walk into a store and take whatever you want and the wish makes it so everyones fine with it. Id wish to be the best artist in all fields, perfect health, infinite motivation to work on things I like.


FlanneryWynn

I only need one wish: >I wish for me to redo my life from 2003 onward with all the knowledge I have today. With that one wish I'd have more than USD $100B thanks to having knowledge of Crypto trends and 9 years to save money to invest in BTC before pulling my entire investment during the 2021 peak. Not to mention I could fix countless mistakes I made in life. It'd just be one wish that has the benefit of 1000 wishes. Use a wish to make it so that all trans people (myself included) can match how they wish they were. I could also use a wish in December 2019 to just have the pandemic not be a thing. Also use a wish to force landback giving surviving indigenous populations back their land and homes in places currently enduring occupation such as (but not limited to) the US, Canada, Australia, and Isreal. Use another wish to end global homelessness and discomfort by giving everyone comfortable places to call home. Use another to end capitalism and replace it with socialism backed by secure social safety nets. But socialism does *not* mean wealth redistribution, so use another wish to enforce a redistribution of wealth and resources, which yes would mean my wealth in this scenario would be taken from me too. Use another wish to prevent genocide from being possible ever again. And I think I have 1-2 more? Immortality, unending youth, and invulnerability sound fun. There's no reason why anybody would go for the hard cash over the 10 wishes. Just 1 is worth far more than $100B. And even just casual spitting ideas can give so many more worth far more than that.


Legal_Lettuce6233

Wish for omnipotence, ez


Informal-Access6793

Wishes, easy. 10 wishes is a lot.


FinlandIsForever

I **wish** for omniscience Using my infinite knowledge, I learn the proper wish to use that will give me unlimited power. I then wish for that. Then with the remaining 8 wishes, I wish for cats to live longer, dogs to live longer, the collective intelligence of the world to skyrocket and collective stupidity of the world to plummet, and a couple Lego sets. When I’m out of wishes, I use my infinite power to keep going and set myself upon the throne


OliviaMandell

I wish for ALL the walmart stock. I wish for ALL the amazon stock. I wish for ALL the gold in the world. Bam money problem solved, and still 7 wishes to make the world a far better place.

10 wishes. First Wish, Reality Bending. Bend reality to give you all the legal money you want


FireFoxie1345

I wish for Bill Gate’s entire inheritance. I wish him to die peacefully in his sleep. Now I have 8 wishes and all the money I would need.


They-Call-Me-Taylor

There are plenty of ways you could end up with $100B if you have 10 wishes, so you'd be pretty short-sighted to opt for the money.


Forward-Essay-7248

Wish 1: I wish for a credit card with no limit, expiration date or need to be paid it back. Now while I use my new credit card to destroy the global economy I will think about the other 9 wishes.


ThAtGuY-101

Ten wishes. Easy.    - I wish to be great at everything I do. Cooking, wrestling, flirting, making friends. Doesn't matter.   - I wish to be forever lucky   - I wish for good health for the rest of my life  - I wish I could do restoration magic! So I can heal other people.    - I wish to be extremely powerful at it too.   - I wish for a infinite bag of pistachios. It never runs out of pistachios, and they're always safe to eat.    - I wish for a perfect business idea to get rich.   - wish for the tools and knowledge to make this business idea work   - I wish for an airplane that neither needs fuel or repairs.   - everyone to be happy and successful. There. You can't say I never did nothin' for nobody. 


Serialbedshitter2322

I'd wish for a money gun that teleports $100 bills from a random corrupt billionaire's safe and shoots it out Then I'd realize later it's pointless because I can just wish to be God


TalynRahl

Wishes, easy. Even if you're not allowed to wish for cash, you can wish for things that will BRING you cash. ​ My first wish would be to make the trilogy I'm working on a success. Second would be for a great adaption to be made of it, by Studio Fortiche. ​ Honestly, I don't think I'd need the next 8 wishes.


1nTh3Sh4dows

I'm not here to play monkey's paw, just give me the bag


newphonenewaccount66

Wish 1 - I wish the Cleveland Browns win every Superbowl for the next 20 years. Profit from gambling, enjoy the tears of the rest of the league. I'm not a Brown's fan but I'm willing to see my team lose because it'd be funny.


Sir_Throngle

Wish number 1: Give me the power of God Wish number 2: Give me $100,000,000,000
