Let’s fix it

Ok we all get two wishes.

Rules are it has to benefit the world and not centre on ourselves.

The planet is set to self destruct, watching the news is horrendous. So, if we all get two wishes and they would actually come true tomorrow morning, what would yours be?…

I’ll start:

  1. No more wars

Still debating my second, so will wait and see what others come up with.

Trumps dead
No child goes hungry

I could choose so many more

BloodyHellBob · 28/01/2026 19:05

No more hoarding of wealth (billionaires are gone)
No more weapons of mass destruction

1, I would remove 90% of men from the planet instantly and painlessly.

  1. I would make humans herbivores, unable to digest meat.

Rich fertile soil all over the place

No more racism

No one going hungry

Haha yes definitely! I thought to make it a two wish limit though so we really have to prioritise those two rather than unlimited.

At the risk of detailing your first wish lol, how about a personality reboot for Trump rather than death? Like, he wakes up with a sudden and insatiable desire to give up the presidency, give his wealth away to charity and go run a greengrocer shop somewhere out in the sticks 😁

I would love to upgrade your wish to no more weapons of any kind.

Like Star Trek teleporter style 😂 maybe the nice ones could come back eventually

With my plan the 10 per cent left will be the decent ones - I would allocate several conditions

  • no violence to any woman
  • evidence of supportive respectful relationships with women

Hopefully that would add up to 10 per cent - but maybe not

BloodyHellBob · 28/01/2026 19:57

@PonderingsDistantdreams I was going to say no more weapons of any kind but then that rules out so many useful things like axes, hammers, wooden bats, scissors! Maybe if people had to see blood and gore and injury up close they would think twice…or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

PonderingsDistantdreams · 28/01/2026 20:42

Is a good point @BloodyHellBob and put that way so many useful things can be weaponised can’t they, hmm… maybe just weapons that are purposefully designed and made to harm/ kill(?)

Be a shame to have to give up scissors, need them way too much! 😅

Thought of my second wish, as lots of great ones covered above now -

  1. No more sickness/ diseases

(Was tempted to say sadness but the lack of sickness and suffering from ill health would make us much happier anyway!)

Re-1. How can you say that? Sons, grandsons, loved ones, the future of humanity.

90% tax on all billionaires on the planet and redistribute the money to everyone with less than £1million
tweak the requirements / rules of every religion to include “plant trees” as a way to be a good citizen and make everyone believe this.

user1471538275 · 28/01/2026 21:21

@cherrymauve If your loved ones who are male (and mine) have never ever hurt a woman and have evidence of supportive respectful relationships with women then they are safe in my 10%

Are you not confident about that?

PonderingsDistantdreams · 28/01/2026 22:27

If someone can wish that we can all, all humanity, treat each other with the care and respect, (dare I say love) that @user1471538275 outlined, then no need to banish anyone 💛 Maybe adding ‘no violence’ as another wish to further support

I can’t do it though, already used both of mine!
