Love.

Yesterday I saw here the post of the woman saying the face change of her husband going from :| to :) just by seeing her was the best feeling.

Imagine having this with everyone

Why would you want an unlimited amount of bad health? /s

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

To unlock the ultra hardcore mode of living.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 hours ago

Unlimited waking hours. Imagine not feeling tired, no need for coffee or naps. I do like my naps but it's because of that afternoon drowsy feeling. Imagine that's gone!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 6 hours ago

The Olive Garden personnel reading the thread; "Huh. I guess nobody wants unlimited garlic bread. Nix it, boys."

Youth. Just saying time is basically asking for some monkey's paw shit.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Even asking for unlimited youth is tricky for the monkey paw could just make you forever a baby.

Now that wouldn't necessarily mean you'd end up being an adult brain in a baby's body, just straight up a 1 year old that never develops, always reliant on someone else. You'd literally have 1 year before you'd be surrendered to some sort of institution as a medical oddity whilst you comprehend nothing doomed to overwhelming stimulus forever.

Best you could hope for is specifying an age in your life you consider to be what your physical peak was and just deal with the lack of mental development completion if that physical peak was before being roughly 25 years old.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

fuck yeah.

I'll give up all my other worldly possessions. just for more time.

[–] Batmancer@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Motivation.

Curry

I fuckin love me some curry

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 12 hours ago

TIIIIIIIIIME

Anyone with wisdom would want that.

You can do anything with time.

Wind it back, wind it forward, generate infinite energy, change all things, fix all things (backwards time manipulation), learn how to do anything.

And the best part: no other superpower needed, no omnipotence, no omniscience.

Just your mortal hands, and time.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

stamina, both cardio and muscle fatigue

no more RSI related stuff that prevents me from holding a book before bed. no more falling behind because my cardio sucks because I'm too lazy to work on it more

[–] kugel7c@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago

Not in the spirit of the question answer: Land Base impulses on an Easter weekend: sweet dill mustard gravlachs and bread Real answer: Bicycles as many different ones as possible

[–] ReginaPhalange@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Unimaginable power! Unlimited rice pudding! Et cetera! Et cetera!

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Spacial dimensions.

All your problems look so small from 256-D space.

Cuddles from puppies and my wife

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

I also want unlimited cuddles from op's wife. /s

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 10 points 18 hours ago

Eternally youthful but mortal life.

I don’t mind dying. Death is what makes life have meaning. Let me live long enough and at some point I would be eager to wrap up my concerns and shuffle off this mortal coil.

But I would prefer to die on my own terms, at a time of my own choosing, and in the meantime exist with all the physical and mental vigour of someone between the ages of 25 and 45.

And the key is not being immortal, as I would not want to always survive grievous injuries. I would want to be mortal on purpose -- if an accident would kill a normal human despite immediate medical attention of the highest modern quality, I would want to die just the same. I would not want to continue existing as bloody paste paining the interior hull of an airliner that smacked into a mountain.

But barring accidents, I would love to loiter and observe the next few centuries in great health and youthful vigour. Doing what, I don’t know. That’s for the future to determine. But it would be interesting.

I'm reminded of this: https://youtube.com/shorts/uXWQ9N5vCRM

Unlimited halo rat spawns

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely nothing because having unlimited of anything never is a good thing for anyone, especially not yourself

[–] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] FatherPeanut@pawb.social 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean, it'd definitely have some baggage when it comes to the vacuum of space.

I'm from Texas, my wife is from New Jersey. We had a lot of confusing conversations when we were long-distance about shopping or eating at BJ's

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 3 points 19 hours ago
