airline miles so I can see my grands any time I want.
Being so far behind that I can never die.
Gold. It can never be without value as long as there are other humans.
Edited: my first statement is just what I wish for.
Now this is what I really have: MACHINE GUN BULLETS!
I’m going to go with shoes. In my imaginary contest winning that would be a new pair once a month for the rest of my life.
Not unless I won a mansion, too. Then, yes!
There are never enough shoes.
Can I add to mine? A lifetime supply of non-fattening Wise potato chips.
Today I say dog food, as keeping these critters fed seems to be emptying my wallet at an alarming rate.
Tomorrow I may have a different answer. :-)
Marijuana.
i wanted to go with beer but pot is waaay more of an expense
I’M with @canid. These dogs eat better than some humans. Gas for the vehicles is second choice.
GRANDKIDS! Wait. I already have that.
Wishes!
Okay…let’s get started, 100,000 acre ranch in the Sierras, my 20 year old body again, never sick a day in my life and then drop dead looking great one night, I choose the night.
A hot air balloon to cruise over my ranch lands in, my pets live as long as I do, and death to all passive aggressive people…for starters, this will do just fine. lol
Fuel for my car for practicality, theatre/concert tickets for pleasure!
What kind of concert tickets? Led Zepplin? :D
A lifetime supply of time.
Cars, one a year, the first traded back for the second and so on.
@ibstubro “Gold. It can never be without value as long as there are other humans.”
Unless those other humans hold it valueless. For example, the Aztecs, while they used gold for decoration, were happy to give the Spanish all they gold the Spanish wished, as the held gold to be of little value and no use besides ornamentation. There is nothing inherently valuable about gold, why it’s been so lusted after by some many people throughout time is beyond me. Truly one of mankind’s greatest follies. From a utility standpoint coal has more worth.
@Darth_Algar
It is shiny and does not oxidise.
THE perfect traits to justify the “gold standard”~
(Has anyone noticed answers are not posting in order on this thread? Mine inserted above two or three which were already there. ??????????????????)
Lazy Wiki quote, @Darth_Algar:
”...[gold] has been a valuable and highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since long before the beginning of recorded history.”
It’s a dense, soft, malleable and ductile metal that doesn’t tarnish when exposed to air or water and is one of the least reactive elements.
”The value of gold is rooted in its medium rarity, easily handling, easy smelting, non-corrosiveness, distinct colour and non-reactiveness to other elements; qualities most other metals lack.”
Finally, unless we’re going to return to a pre-industrial society in my life-time, it’s increasingly important component in a number of industries, especially transportation and electronics.
It’s “the Man” keeping us down. Checking our answers to make sure we aren’t being disrespectful in any way. Entering our every word into the database. lol
Staff paper! Perhaps I should ask for a lifetime supply of printing scores and parts though, as that tends to be more expensive… unlimited pens and pencils would be quite nice too, as well as unlimited scores and CDs (as well as unlimited space to put all these things in…)
Well, if I had an unlimited supply of gold, as some have mentioned before, then I could get several of these at once.
Even better though, would be to have an unlimited supply of wishes… I could wish for things that could immediately improve my skillset, grant me the ability to fly as well as unlimited staff paper and all the other things I could want… :D
@ibstubro
While I salute your incredible copy-and-paste skill you really didn’t post anything to dispute what I said.
Paid time off! Not enough to be, like, extravagantly rich or anything. Just enough to spend the rest of my life reading and writing. That would be awesome.
Ideas.
Or maybe just sunshine.. not all the time but none of this 5 to 3 hours of sunshine on a clear day thing…
@Unbroken I have to say unlimited ideas sounds pretty good too!
@Darth_Algar While I salute your ability to criticize and mock other member’s answers, that does not substitute for positive participation.
Have you considered speaking for youself instead of constantly speaking against others?
Try it. Answer the question, instead of picking someone else’s answer to refute. Honestly, you can have and be your own voice. You’re not dependent on finding fault in others here on Fluther. You’re allowed to have your own opinion rather than being a foil. We’d be pleased if you expressed your opinion, rather that why you disagree with the opinion of others. Put your horse in the race first, then there will be context for disagreement.
Show a little self confidence. It’s got to be demeaning, being so dependent on others.
@ibstubro I recently went rock hunting in a semi serious fashion with a couple of others. What we invariably looked for and noticed was anything shiny. In fact the more the sun glinted off of it the more excited we got.
I remember crows, other birds and squirrels have the same behavior. Makes one wonder…
I can’t tell you how many times while ‘junking’ I have literally made the apology “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude while you were talking, I’m just easily distracted by shiny objects” @Unbroken.
Thanks. :)
So is my puppy. I’m constantly having to see if the shiny thing in his poop might be valuable :-)
Well, I was about done with that bagel anyway!
Lol. Just give it to the dog dutchess
(I read this question aloud. My daughter shouted out WAFFLES!)
@ibstubro
It’s funny that you speak of me mocking others (I’ve done no such thing here) while then presuming to know my mental state. Needless to say my self-esteem is high enough that I don’t have to denigrate the self-esteem of others.
As for my own answer – I’ll give that when I find something worthy. Going on the assumption that this fanciful hypothetical could be real it would be unwise of me to squander it on the first thing that comes to mind.
Squander away!!! That’s how I ended up with all of these shoes…
Alright then. Pepsi is my answer.
If I had a lifetime supply of coke I’d be dead tomorrow.
I guess better way to go than snorting cheeboigers!
Travel vouchers for airlines, railways, car rentals, lodging and meals.
Pizza with hot peppers and chocolate marshmallow (or bittersweet) ice cream.
Hmm… you know what would be nice is an unlimited supply of time. I don’t know how that would work though, and if that’s warping the question, since we all get a lifetime supply of time :D
Luxury spa treatments – with my chronic pain, I know I would benefit from weekly massage therapy.
I hear @Dan_Lyons just invented a perpetual motion machine. Maybe it’s for massage.
@GloPro depends on your definition of free time. If I had unlimited time I’d use some of it for relaxing, learning things and practicing my skills among other things…
Hypocrisies…...wait, II get that without even having to win it.
