Reconstruction is feasible, but destruction is a Ted kaczynski pipe dream.Yuji wrote: Fri Jun 04, 2021 12:31 pmThe industrial system is almost single-handedly responsible for the climate crisis.

Do you prefer living with an 1880s economy?Yuji wrote: Fri Jun 04, 2021 11:11 am Assuming Shenlong can grant it, then solving the climate crisis is probably top of my list right now. After that, we can get to work in dismantling industry and technology.
The 1880s were the birth of the second industrial revolution, so I'd rather we not imitate it again.

Re: You get a wish from Shenron
Why not just wish for the planet to naturally restore itself and reverse the effects of anthropogenic climate change once every year?

Re: You get a wish from Shenron
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.Polyphase Avatron wrote: Fri Jun 04, 2021 1:51 pm Why not just wish for the planet to naturally restore itself and reverse the effects of anthropogenic climate change once every year?
Re: You get a wish from Shenron
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.

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?

Re: You get a wish from Shenron
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.

Akira Toriyama, DBS vol.4 joint interview with ToyotaroAt his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

Re: You get a wish from Shenron
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.SupremeKai25 wrote: Thu Jun 24, 2021 4:14 am I was thinking of immortality, because it's just a straight-forward wish.

Re: You get a wish from Shenron
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.

Re: You get a wish from Shenron
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.

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.
