I'd honestly prefer Taure's reincarnation over actual immortality. Maybe keeping memories but maybe only coming up when relevant?

 

I did say that, although not directly. Voldemort's fly-mode in the film was pretty bamf-like.

 

1. The ability to ensnare and charm through writing.

Of course, I'm already working on that .

2. Teleportation.

I would rob so many banks...

3. Limited immortality.

Because fuck being trapped in existence.

 

1) Immortality, but I am able to end my own existance if I choose to, also comes with above human ablities, such as able to ignore pain (thus torture), not age, not get grievously injured. So I can pass as a normal person day to day but am still immorttal.

2) Money, I would form this wish along the lines of, I get income equal to that of the average for the top 1% of the population, guaranteed, but through legal means that wont draw unwanted attention.

3) The ability to instill the aspects of wishes 1 and 2 onto others close to me, so family and friends can have it to.

 

I could wish for all manner of things to make myself personally superior, but I think I'd be happier overall with a better world in which to live:

1. A post-fossil-fuel energy economy, one where the specter of anthropogenic climate change doesn't threaten human civilization in a couple of generations.

2. A more equitable world, one with a minimum basic income, a sane maximum wealth, and sufficient room in between to provide for human motivation and dignity.

3. Cheap heavy-launch capability* (the only way we'll ever make it to space in any meaningful fashion).

* As I've mentioned before, if I were independently wealthy and had the means to work on anything I wanted, it'd be this.

 

Feel like an ass now that I've looked at Perspicacity's post, thanks for nothing Pers.

 

Pers likes to remind us that we are just mere normal human trash, inderectly of course, he is too nice to say the tryth in our face.

1- Play like orpheus, when you can make the most hateful things in the world cry like a baby you can call yourself badass singer, but not a lyre though.

2- Be able to learn any language very easily.

3- Fit like Adrian Veidt. Only that in common. 'Nough said.

Edit: I can believe I wrote wrong, I swear I know who is who. Now I feel like a huge idiot.

 

Do you mean play like Orpheus? Odysseus was the badass Greek Hero of the Odyssey. Orpheus was the badass bard of Greek Mythology [who kinda fucked it up in the end.]

 

He fucked up, but like Bullfinch said, it was a very natural reaction, to see worry abiut you wife and see if she is well after feeling her slipping/something like that. He made the whole Fields of Punishment stop, the greek hell, together with maiking all of the god there cry. Yiu can't find more awesome than that. He made sticks and stones stop by singing to them.

 

Here's a fun variation: three physically possible wishes. Your wishes cannot go against our current understanding of the universe, or even involve speculative elements which may or may not be physically possible. You must wish for three things that we know can happen.

Mine:

1. Body at the peak of the human range. Only one change from the previous version: I will gradually transition into this body over the space of 6 months.

2. Win the Euromillions £180 million rollover.

3. Incredible talent at writing.

 

1) The best medical care that is available, including vat-grown organs for transplant, GP check ups and hospital care for when it is needed.

2) The skills, knowledge and qualifications to become a billionaire.

3) Marriage to my perfect woman.

That would cover my biggest wants in life. Immortality would be fun to have, but realistically I just want to be rich enough to do what I like, have the general health to do it for all my (long) life and have love/companionship from someone that loves me in turn.

 

1. Immortality/Invulnerability (That's totally one thing.)

2. Telekinesis (Like move a truck with a flick of a finger, not bend a spoon with hours of concentration.)

3. Teleportation

I shall be God.

EDIT: For (semi)realistic:

1. A cure for noncancerous brain tumors. (Hell, actually, cancerous ones too.)

2. Bill Gates writes me a check for a spare billion.

3. An IQ of 200.

 

1. The ability to play Hold 'Em with the hand-reading skill of Stu Ungar, the reckless courage of Tom Dwan, and the sheer analytical mind of Phil Ivey. Also the willpower to listen to my gut when I know I have to fold quads to a superior quads, a king-high flush to an ace-high flush. The ability to fully exploit players to the max when I tilt them.

2. The ability to read a book, and really absorb everything contained within and what the author is trying to communicate, in a matter of minutes.

3. Know the unvarnished truth of the universe.

 

#1: Invisibility at will.
#2: Superman's x-ray vision.
#3: Flash's speed.

 

1) The ability to argue and get whatever I want as a result without the other party feeling screwed over.
2) Telekinesis--as well as the ability to make myself float.
3) The ability to eat/do whatever I want and remain in peak physical condition (internally as well as externally).

As for my three physically possible wishes:

1) The ability to write/speak with absolute elegance.
2) An awesome body with abs, muscles, and minimal stretch marks. (XD)
3) Learn to be less clumsy and more seductive.

 

Three realistic wishes?

1. Lose weight, acquire desirable physique. (started working on that one actually; it'll be slow and painful, but Rome wasn't built in a day and I'll fit into my favorite old pair of jeans someday if it's the last thing I do, goddamit!)

2. A writing career successful enough to allow me to live comfortably without having to work an honest job :awesome I don't need billions. Say... one billion. That'd be enough. (like, I imagine, many people on DLP, I'm working on an original universe, so who knows...)

3. Successful eyesight correction surgery with no post-op complications. (I know there are people who have it worse, but being able to wear sunglasses without contact lenses would be an incredible experience; I don't even remember how it was not to have poor sight lol)

 

Realistic (?) wishes

1. Faith
2. Music
3. A nice island somewhere

 

Mine still remain intact.

1. Money
2. Power
3. Wisdom.

 

Hrmm, three wishes...

Well, my go to wish has always been thr ability to open a portal to a pocket dimension from which I can pull out anything I imagine, but that seems like a multi-wish.

1) The ability to define a goal within my head and immediately know which steps to take to achieve it. (Not sure if this counts as a multi-wish. Honestly, it's more like an instinctive grasp of knowing what do and could be just as easily achieved if I spent enough time figuring things out. All this wish would do is shorten the amount of time needed...maybe it's a grey area?)
2) The Ability to Control Time.
3) Mind Control/Hypnosis that works on everyone and everything.

For realistic/possible wishes, I'm gonna stretch the limits a bit.
1) King of the World, baby!
2) A world in which everyone is Healthy and Fit.
3) A Larger Portion of the world is devoted bettering humanity.
