I wish that my accumulation of wealth becomes 1.5 standard deviations above the average human.
Wish granted. In exchange for the money, your attractiveness goes down to 1.5 standard deviations below the average human. 

I wish for the Power of Friendship to become tangible and be weaponized in the military

Granted. Sadly, the US military is corrupt rendering the power of friendship negligible because the soldiers aren't united within nor are they united against their enemy factions, they just want to get their pay by shooting some middle eastern people and leave. Same goes for the Russian and Ukrainian armies.

However, the power of the brotherhood quickly becomes prominent for the North Korean army and they would take South Korea by force. The force becomes greater as an active oppression of sources of information tends to unite the soldiers as they have less distractions in the military. Eventually, the US would be forcefully taken by authoritarian regimes such as North Korea via a landing in California in the long term, that is forseeable.

More than that, gangs and drug rings could actually attack or manipulate people to join them or to die solely because bonding is prominent as well in those leadership groups. the US is quickly ridden by these underground criminals and the ass in the pain is collectively shared as a problem for all countries in the world.

Geniuses are being repressed because the power of friendship of three people each less than 1/3 of his collective abilities are able to get a massive boost due to their "friendship". Scientific progress halts because... well, those who win are almost guaranteed to not be lonely geniuses or at that level except for fields where no one cares about, like geology. Nepotism springs upward as well as their interpersonal bond with the wealthy and the powerful and the related can manifest tangibly instead of figuratively. Opportunities are given towards those who wouldn't deserve it fully and rightfully, and in all fields a tyranny of the many would quickly become the status quo as those who side with the initiator on anything could possibly win just by the bond, even if the initiator calls batshit crazy stuff such as increasing the educational spending & funding up to $500B.

Is this a legitimate possibility you see in the US and/or happening in the world?

Yes, if the “power of friendship” can be quantized.

I believe Pixar or something actually made an animated movie based on a girl who can manipulate luck. It was bad.

So, my corruption statement is: Granted, but the only available power you are able to utilize is to use say-a month worth of luck on an instant. So if you get $2M on a lottery on purpose/on command, say-you are going to be unlucky for the next month, who knows, maybe you are going to get your peaking earnings stolen by a cyber thief or something.

I wish that African people who cannot get water get enough water to thrive for the rest of their lives, preferably with a stable source of water like a spring, a lake, wells, etc.

Dude, I am talking MIT, not OSU, do you seriously think I would care about that if I am in MIT?

IMO, a better response would be,
Granted, but the courses in MIT are so grueling and arduous that you can’t comprehend anything the professors lecture about. Eventually you flunk your classes, drop out, and re-enroll in an ordinary university re-starting as a freshman one year later than the average freshman.

so you ask for a wish, then someone replies asking for another wish and adding a constraint to yours?

90% of the African population is killed instantly, fixing the water shortage.

I wish for the ability to reply to my own forum posts.

I realize this breaks the chain, so something will have to be done...

As God, the next person should respond to Reece's post with another caveat.

Wish granted, everyone who was faster than you perishes.

I wish there to be a silver-bullet cure for cancer.

Your wish is granted. All attempts at curing cancer results in the patient being fattily shot with a silver bullet.

I wish TWS1405_2 would make a wish.

If you think wishing that you would make a wish is violence, then that’s your problem.

Granted, but he did not follow the format proposed for this thread despite proposing on this thread.

I wish that I could be good at basketball.
