What Monkey Paw Wish would you be willing to take? (lemmy.world)

For those who don't know, a Monkey Paw Wish is when you get your wish granted, but in an unexpected usually negative way.

Example:

I wish human caused global warming would stop.
It does, but because WW3 leads to Nuclear Winter.

The question here though, is what wish would you be willing to take even though it'll get monkey paw'd?

So basically you don't care if the consequences, or would be willing to take the sacrifice for it.

Others can come up with the negative scenarios if they want and the original wisher can decide if it's still worth it

Donald Trump bumps his head and wakes up as an objective and rational person willing and capable of acting for the good of his country and the world instead of his own unintelligent, narcissistic ways.

Granted. Trump is now fully capable of stripping the people of their rights to enrich the state and turn America into an effective fascist engine of war. He then turns his machine on the rest of the world to spread the goodness of America.

How is this different from what's already going to happen under POTUS Musk & VP Trump?

This time, Trump is intelligent, and it's OPs fault it's happening.
