All cars are now have a perfect implementation of self driving.
All traffic is now gone. Road rage, gone. People everywhere are happier. Commutes suck less. People take more road trips to see more outside their comfort zone. Lyft and Uber really explode, no more driver needed, just summon a car and go.
Utopia would be achieved shortly after.
your cartopia sounds like hell. last time I checked Humans were the dominant species, not fucking cars.
Wish 2: all cars have perfectly efficient solar generation and power train.
No more car based pollution. Climate crisis fixed (not really but a good step forward). Save people everywhere money.
This depends on the mechanism of teleportation. The Star Trek matter-energy conversion with quantum state duplication is absolutely what you described. The ability to make personal wormholes, folding space, passing through a hyperdimensional space, or macro-scale quantum tunneling are all methods of teleportation that don’t involve any overt destruction of your corporeal entity and are all technically feasible under the laws of physics or mathematics. The real issue is the potential for exotic forms of radiation that cook you and anyone around you instantly on arrival. The real wish is “I wish everyone could teleport without risk of death, damage, or adverse environmental repercussions.”
Enormous unemployment from the transit sector spikes immediately and causes a depression.
30% of the work force is in transportation related jobs.
The Great Depression saw only 22% of unemployment at its peak.
Your well meaning wish would destroy millions of lives while tanking the developed world economies.
Yeah, maybe add a phase-in period.
Normalise the phrase: "I don’t agree with your opinion and that’s fine"
I’m trying to focus this answer on something that seems like a really small change:
I wish everyone is slightly more empathetic.
I feel like this could give us a lot of small nudges toward being better people and a better society. I wonder if a small nudge could end up having a profound effect.
It probably would, butterfly effect and all. That’s part of the reason why I’m trying to evaluate why I do the things I do, trying to see how they impact other people more versus in my youth. It might be small, but enough small things do add up, compound even.
With a baseline minimum empathy. Cause damn, some people really bottom out that needle.
Yes. But i was trying to make my change small… which is, of course, subjective. For me setting an empathy baseline feels like more than a small change.
Remove the UK
Nono, i mean to just balkanize it so it stops existing, no genocide here.

Exactly, tho i’d give NI to Ireland
Maybe just England?
Bring back the concept of shame.
Bring back? It never left me! Can you tell the shame-voice in my head that it’s been left behind and all the other shame has left already?
You should tell the US Congress about it.
cries in has lots of it
@Weirdbeardgame Make Moringa taste good.
Abolish politics from social media
Abolish social media, period.
After decades of sci-fi/fantasy entertainment to prime us, the primal part of the human brain that reacts to in-group and out-group members suddenly changes in every human and we start reflexively and unintentionally classifying all earth life as friends and space/environmental threats as enemies.
Humanity immediately gets serious about climate change, CO2 reduction, and the like, but we also get way too zealous about deploying space lasers.
Nobody likes today’s leaders. No support at all.
Make everyone’s interpretation of “small thing” slightly more similar.
A ubi funded by a hefty carbon tax on big polluters.
Both are small things with huge positive impact.
