Why dismantle the industry? Do you prefer living with an 1880s economy?
The industrial system is almost single-handedly responsible for the climate crisis. A serious reconstruction is needed or, if that fails to change our fundamental views in regards to machinery, technology and their relation to nature and our minds, complete destruction.

The 1880s were the birth of the second industrial revolution, so I'd rather we not imitate it again.
Reconstruction is feasible, but destruction is a Ted kaczynski pipe dream.

Why not just wish for the planet to naturally restore itself and reverse the effects of anthropogenic climate change once every year?

That sounds like too far for Shenlong. Porunga needs a lot of time to restore the planet from destruction. This is effectively the same on a lesser, more immediate scale but for all eternity.

All humans are invincible.

We would no longer require food. We would immune to cancer/disease/illness/deformities because of our insane regeneration factor.

There would be no more violence. Other people could no longer harm each other. Not with missiles, radiation, weapons, or anything. The only thing that could be damaged would be "things" and property. We could move beyond scarcity based economics and explore space.


I imagine everyone being like superman, without the super strength or the powers to destroy.

Porunga restored the Earth from being completely blown to smithereens. Doing this would be a lot easier.

Those are...very different wishes. :lol:

It’s not THAT different! Bulma and I want someone to love and a lifetime supply of snacks. And really, how are those two any different in their results? Lol

I was thinking of immortality, because it's just a straight-forward wish. As kids everyone wants to be immortal, but then you grow-up and realize: is it really worth it? I mean imagine outliving all your friends and relatives, imagine watching everyone you've known die while you keep living until you're the only one left. That's got to be very depressing.

So I'd probably just make a selfless wish like protecting all humans from major illnesses (cancers, viruses, etc.) or getting rid of coronavirus. I'd be dumb to only think about myself if I were able to make any wish, like I'd literally have the chance to improve mankind forever.

Here would be a good wish for immortality and eternal youth, “I wish for the knowledge in making a medicine/item for immortality/eternal youth”. That way you know the materials how to make said item/medicine for immortality/eternal youth along with knowing how to make it.

Then anyone can have immortality/eternal youth.

I thought about this for a while, and it's quite hard to decide something that is worth the wish, but not worldchanging as you don't quite know what happens afterwards of if Shenron is even able to grant a wish of such magnitude as ending world hunger.

So, as something not too risky, I would wish for all those lying, super fake, infuriating and embarrassing game ads that corporations throw at you.
Pretty much a guy who has been really late on catching up with Dragonball and Fighterz.

I'm really not an expert on the matter, but I like to think.

You would wish for all of them? So you would constantly get every single such ad in the world? That's a weird wish.

Why not wish for Shenron to be free? He lives in magical balls all year round and is only let out for a moment just to grant some peckerhead's selfish desire. Shenron could probably do a lot more for the world or even the universe if he wasn't trapped in a singular purpose for all eternity.

Yes, get them all to me, all at once, so no one else has to suffer!


In all seriousness, I seriously goofed up my writing, it had to say "to banish" the ads. But I forgot to write it. Today's a funky day.
