Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

This sounds ideal, since the world is better off this way and my wish for the most people to be better of just requires 51% of all remaining humans be doing better.

In fact if the matrix wants to keep 10 people around and only have 6 of them be happy my wish is still fulfilled.

All hail the Algocracy. Actually kinda interesting considering the recent memorial of Pinochet's actions and how he helped snuff out a nascent example of an algocracy.
