A few years ago I felt kinda lame whenever I had to “make a wish” blowing out birthday candles or whatnot and the only thing I could think of under pressure was “world peace”.
Since then, I’ve kept a wish ready to blurt out if I ever see a falling star or toss a coin into a fountain etc
For me, it’s sending my mind, with all my current knowledge and experience, back in time into my body at the moment I graduated high school, so I could re-live my life with more confidence, less anxiety and get straight into doing the cool bits of my life much earlier.
What would be your “back pocket wish”?

Infinite wishes
Same, but the start of high school.
I love yours, and have one almost identical to it. But it’s probably not one I would share with say, coworkers or casual friends. I have a “public and plausible” wish in addition to the fantastic and semi-private one. My public and plausible wish is usually that our lotto pool at work finally hits all the numbers. Considering the odds of that happening, it’s damned unlikely, but at least it’s theoretically possible. So maybe I should call it my “public and barely plausible wish”.
I’ve always wished for Scarlett Johanssen, naked, to appear at the front door. It’s yet to happen.
You didn’t specify when. She will show up when she is elderly and in poor health. She’ll knock on your door, then pass away.
I mean, that doesn’t rule anything out…
One of my buddies thinks she’s plain / unattractive. Love the guy, but he’s a complete idiot in this regard.
No I’m isn’t
I wish for my bestie’s good physical and mental health. Preferably, she’ll attain both at once in a way where she feels she earned it for herself.
Well, “world peace” may not be original, but it isn’t bad.
How did it work out btw?
What, world peace? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.
Unless it’s one of those monkey’s-paw wishes, in which case everyone immediately dies.
I’ve always felt that unselfish wishes are more likely to get a pass from the monkey’s paw.
I’m writing that into my head cannon. The monkey is cursed to punish greed, but it’s benevolence is abundant!
“But they’ll make bigger boards and bigger nails until they destroy themselves”
Health, happiness, and security for my kids.
On a personal level, a small house for my kids to live in before I die somewhere quiet. On a global level? Less privileged people would stop being taken advantage of by nefarious sources and systems designed to crush them.
Restorative Peace in our time. The absence of violence and presence of justice.
I wish that when I die someone cremated me and blasts my ashes off into space
Major Tom?
Major Tom’s a junkie

That nobody is guilt tripped into making wishes on their birthday to satisfy social norms.
Check mate atheists.
“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”
How has that got anything to do with religion?

Not everything on the internet is meant to be taken seriously 🙄.
Sure bud
Blowjobs
Yeah dude. Chicks dig guys with a back pocket wish.
Being born a girl.
However you see yourself, it’s welcome in our eyes.
Magic. And not ledgerdemain or magic that looks like things just kind of happened that sort of way, I’m talking magic missile, fireball, flying through the air blowing shit up, summoning familiars, castles in the sky, all that shit.
Invulnerability. To age, sickness, death, anything that could physically harm me. I want to live forever.
Or barring that, telekinesis.
I just picture you floating in an endless void 100 billion years after entropy has moved every single subatomic particle away from each other. Somehow you have been sustained. The last sophisticated entity in the universe. Your billions of years of loneliness have already driven you to the point of insanity, enlightenment, insanity again, and finally a state of which no one could imagine. Because you don’t consume food or water, you’re in a perpetual state of hunger and thirst. You don’t feel harmed, but you do feel peckish all the time. You could do with a draught. Your wish didn’t allow for pain “thank God”, you think.

And there was light –
That’s exactly what I thought of while reading that answer.

The problem is that they didn’t want to pay dreamhost for a certificate. So https doesn’t work. You need to use http://www.thelastquestion.net
Except for some reason Jerboa (the client that I use) obstinately rewrites that to use https.
Eventually, Kars stopped thinking.
