Title: If I had a magic wand I would...
Post by: Tank on October 21, 2022, 09:42:07 AM
Not a heavy discussion thread! This is the Laid Back Lounge

Imagine you had a magic wand and could change one thing in the world what would you consider changing? If somebody has a good idea start a thread about it in the relevant area of the forum :)

It bugs me that scientific 'Laws' are called laws. Law implies some sort of imposition on behaviour and if the law wasn't there the behaviour somehow wouldn't happen. ie if there were no Law of Gravity there would be no gravity.

So if I had a magic wand I would stop the use of the word Law and replace it with the term Consistently Observed Phenomena or COP for short. Thus we would have Scientific COPs keeping the Universe in order.

The Asmo would have used His one magic wand to set up mass production of more magic wands, which He would then use with reckless abandon, mostly for personal profit and comfort.

If I had a magic wand, I would make politicians and the people in the media grow their noses half an inch at every lie.

At the risk of being altogether too serious, I would abolish all belief in the supernatural

If I had a magic wand
I'd magic wand in the morning
I'd magic wand in the evening, all over this land.
I'd magic wand out danger
I'd magic wand out a warning
I'd magic wand out love between
my brothers and my sisters, ah-ah, all over this land.

if i had a magic wand i would enact a reality in which the earths axis was at 90 degrees to the ecliptic, so that seasonality by time would be replaced by seasonality by latitude .

so if you liked winter you could just live there and the difference between spring and summer would be a day trip.

soryy about the perpetual hurricanes and continental glaciation but im still wirking out the details

I would use the Magic Wand to enlarge Bad Penny's pee-pee to an acceptable size...not too big, just big enough that he doesn't get laughed at anymore.  8)

I would put balls further up inside, like ovaries. That way, they aren't so vulnerable to getting kicked and they don't get in the way.

Agreed! I have folded into the foetal position too many times not to agree :rofl:

I hadn't heard Vlad the Mad before but I will be making use of it! And good to see you back too  :hug2:

While I don't disagree, you'd need my magic wand factory to keep up the good work - I think if he fell to magic, he'd just be replaced by Another-Name the Mad.

...Did I ever mention that Putin is not good for my stock prices, shop prices, warhead supply or fuel security? I struggle to think of a single thing his regime is good for. Not my admittedly-selfish needs. Not Europe. Not Russia. Certainly not Ukraine. I mean, possibly the military-industrial complex, though it's not like they were out of a job before he went out into the fields, planting flags.

I take full credit for that particular nom-de-dumbass.  ;D

Don't know if I'm here to stay. Just wondering what was going on with the site possibly shutting down.
