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

[-] Neato@kbin.social 67 points 2 years 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

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.

[-] Hardeehar@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago

True love won't solve life's problems either, lol. Dysfunctional people will dysfunction. I say money, so that you can afford therapy.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 10 points 2 years 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.

[-] macaro 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like professional match makers would be the best way. You get the personalized touch of a real person, and have an intermediary if things go bad.

[-] jabberati@social.anoxinon.de 3 points 2 years ago

@rikudou @Maddie And then you fall in love with someone who only is with you for the money.

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

[-] collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 years ago

She already used it on the perfect hair-doo.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

That swoop do be swoopin.

[-] moormaan@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Espi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

She probably also wished for true love

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

What you dont know is she used to go by the name of Robert

[-] AngryMob@lemmy.one 50 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago

Gotta keep those Disney lawyers off your back.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] ultracritical@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[-] callyral@kbin.social 27 points 2 years 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

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Just wish for more wishes.

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 23 points 2 years ago

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

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

R2d2's love is all you need

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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.

[-] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years 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?

[-] fristislurper@feddit.nl 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] designatedhacker@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years 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's ... depresssing?

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] jarfil@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

"Perfect life"

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

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I should have gotten a falcon....

[-] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Infinite wishes... Boom
