What's your "back pocket" wish? (lemmy.world)

A few years ago I felt kinda lame whenever I had to "make a wish" blowing out birthday candles or whatnot and the only thing I could think of under pressure was "world peace".

Since then, I've kept a wish ready to blurt out if I ever see a falling star or toss a coin into a fountain etc

For me, it's sending my mind, with all my current knowledge and experience, back in time into my body at the moment I graduated high school, so I could re-live my life with more confidence, less anxiety and get straight into doing the cool bits of my life much earlier.

What would be your "back pocket wish"?

I wish I had a one car garage, in which any car I can think of would appear. I can drive it as long as I want, and park it back into the magic garage. I close the door. I think of a different car, open the door, and boom, there's that car.

No storage, no insurance, every car is always fully charged or fully fueled. Bikes, trucks, anything that fits in a normal garage. (No limos, tanks, battleships)

Edit, hmm, this one is not so simple. Seems a one-liner would be better for a quick response

Ever heard of the open source wish project?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My wish is to hear about it.

It was a short-lived project to basically rules-lawyer all the common wishes like wishing for wealth, long life, etc so you could still get them even from an uncooperative genie or a monkeys paw.

Well, I wasted my wish, but thank you.

No? what is this?
