I would like sanity to be part of our country again. Too big an ask?

Granted. Fascist authoritarianism are now the norm and are considered “sane” by the majority of the world
Sanity is a part of the country again but does not prevail against opposing forces:
I’d like to be the sole owner of all global patents required for an effective, sustainable, eco-friendly solution to removing and recycling microplastics from earth’s environment.
It’s official: you are now the sole owner of all eco-friendly and sustainable microplastic patents. There are only a few that are effective, and they are all set to expire in an hour:
Gah, I forgot about expiry dates!
Oh well, at least they exist now. Now to figure out which ones are effective and ensure someone implements them…
2 kittens
Eight people are now standing in your living room; it’s two pairs of the alternative rock band “Kitten”. Looking at their other selves, they start panicking:
very entertaing ill take it
https://youtu.be/9x7r1er6Ljw Kitten 2 are such doodoo heads.
To see all Oaken Tower players have their computer mice overheat when playing that game. To the point where an hour of playing it would make their mice unusable.
You have a video of this happening that you may see on your computer at any time. They look really frustrated, but it doesn’t happen in real life:
Oh I am absolutely loving this community. Happy cake day btw
Can you get me the Chalupa Supreme combo with 1 steak and 1 chicken?
Granted, but it was previously discarded. Still edible though:
A bagel.
No. Wait.
Two bagels.
The next time that you eat at a restaurant and are entirely full, two fresh artisanal bagels are delivered to your table: they’re complementary.
Do you want one? I couldn’t possibly eat two…
Don’t mind if I do!
Greater empathy is everyone’s ultimate goal, rather than wealth, fame, sexual conquests, etc.
In a flash, everyone’s prime directive is empathy. Our modern systems of government based on greed and sex drive crumble away. In its place rises the Feelings Bureaucracy; a dictatorial government in which social offenses, inflicted on the unified society of empathic feelers, is punished severely. The fastest way to deal with bad actors to ensure they do not make others feel bad is to execute them. In response, the world develops a culture of putting another’s needs before one’s own, or else:
Sounds like what chuds think the world is already like

Thank you. That was very interesting!
More LUIGIS
Luigi mania sweeps the nation! People fill public spaces and convention halls in full Luigi garb: it’s a bit of nuisance.
The ability to restart parts of my life from a save file, starting from like 16.
16? Why limit yourself? Why not go back to like two years old and shock everyone with your maturity?
To avoid unpleasant things. Such as being stuck being a teen, my parents freaking out and being worried for my mental health, my brain undeveloping too much, having some snotlings as my peers, so on.
I figured 16 was the last best time I could have changed things, and there was so much Nostalgia from then. I’d get my hands on certain consoles when they mattered…and create the life experiences I always wanted.
Except having a 30 year old brain would mean I’d try to bang the teachers instead of well, my peers. Obviously, even time travel can’t fix certain things you didn’t do. But I don’t care about that.
I would 100% enjoy Pokemom Platinum though. Knowing this is when it was actually relevant.
My early 20’s are where the good and most epic stuff was at. Combined with the most awful. But that’s the age I would like to be at I guess. Being stuck at 26 or 28 I would be at my peak in some ways if I had time travel, and I like that. But early twenties like 22-23 means more options and flexibility. So I would stop there, and keep looping till perfection I guess. Learning everything there is to know.
The first time you activate your power, you are unknowingly stuck in a time loop. Each time you reactivate the power, the loop gets shorter from the point in time you restarted. Basically the movie Groundhog Day but the time loop partially depends on you:
The image made me think of this one weird “song” I used to listen to somewhat when I used to do nitrous oxide, years ago.
Preview doesn’t seem to be working, but it’s the same illustration.
So long as I’m aware of this, I have no problem with it. If I get to learn and advance.
You become aware of your ability the first time you reach the end of the time loop.
Read Peter F Hamilton’s Void saga.
Literally would not have the time for that on an average day. Will see if I can get Vuzix glasses 2 so I can covertly read it at work.
Get the audiobooks. Listen to it in the car. But yeah, one of the plot points is basically exactly this, where people can effectively have a “save point” in life. I won’t spoil it, but it’s great.
Donald John Trump to never be born
A man who would be named Donald John Trump has never been born. You don’t know him (he isn’t the president), because he’s never been born:
The Combine off Earth. I want the Combine off Earth!
Half-Life 3 Confirmed:
Wow, the other guy told me that was too large a nudge! Thanks, balderdash!
I had dinner last night, but I didn’t like it that much. Can you change my memories of the whole situation?
Done. You no longer remember the last ten years of your life:
Where am I?!
Who are you?!
Why am I so full of diarrhea?!To be fair, I’ve had IBS that was exactly that disorienting. No need for magic on that one.
Totally genie like behavior. I love it.
I want my mortgage to be paid off.
You’ve been filed under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Y’know what? Not the worst idea I’ve heard.
Done. You now have a desire for your mortgage to be paid off. (Reading this comment, you feel the intensity of the feeling has increased ever so slightly.)
Oh good. More stress.
Could you dissapear all the facisim thats popping up everywhere? That would be super.
The fascism is now undetectable to the vast majority but still happening behind the scenes:
