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

[-] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago

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

Sure, you can find true love but but you can never have sex again. No human would be able to survive your orgasms

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

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

[-] [email protected] 4 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!

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.

[-] [email protected] 25 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.

[-] [email protected] 10 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.

Just saying, the loving wife he just spawned in would probably gladly use her wish on whatever he wants too.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

She already used it on the perfect hair-doo.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

That swoop do be swoopin.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

True, that's a lovely reminder. Seriously everybody, stop scrolling and ponder this.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

She probably also wished for true love

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.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Gotta keep those Disney lawyers off your back.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Cause it's not. It's a knock off of the e-wing, the legends successor to the x wing that wasn't used much cause it kinda sucks. Though it might be in Ashoka now too.

[-] [email protected] 27 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

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Just wish for more wishes.

You’re convoluting a process that doesn’t need to be.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

R2d2's love is all you need

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I find this comic weird. If the woman is his true love, then he would love her more than anything. Either the well failed at the wish or it can only make a wish that can come true at a single moment but not forever(like ending world hunger would only be solved for the moment but not in the future). Either way, I think the last panel should have the guy falling head over heels in love with her as that was the wish he had made.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So vague, what does "true" justice even mean? If I was an evil ~~genie~~ well, I would make you regret that wish.

[-] [email protected] 10 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.

That looks like a Federation shuttle with a Rebellion paint job.

"Perfect life"

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