Nice little home near a body of water like a lake or ocean

Job I love doing that pays well enough to cover all my basic needs plus have a little fun money left over (I’m not interested in being filthy rich, just solid middle class)

A good work/life balance where I can relax on my time off with my hobbies and interests without feeling like I’m wasting my time or about to be hassled to put in extra work.

Not having to worry about crazy homeless meth/fent zombies lurking around like the cockroaches they are.

A good solid relationship with friends/family/neighbors.

My life is fine, but I wish people would stop wearing tin foil hats to prevent me from reading their thoughts.

The other day some asshole covered their entire wall in tin foil and I couldn't even watch him from within the TV.

So, I would like this exact same world, but without aluminium or tin foil.

If I was a trickster demigod. I'd pull all sorts of shenanigans and cause a lot of mischief. I get up to a lot of mischief already but currently my mischief is limited by reality.

Nothing malicious. Just little harmless things that confuse people. Like get into an Uber and while the driver is driving I turn into a different animal everytime he looks in the rear view mirror but if he turns around and looks I'm just normal. Like he looks in the mirror and sees a lion in the back seat and turns around and it's just me. Then he looks in the mirror again and I'm a tapir. Then he turns around quickly and it's just me again.

One that I think would be funny is if I made myself look like Josh Moon and hid in the bushes when one of the dropkiwifarms people is walking passed and I jump out and yell "boo!". Then I run away and disappear as soon as I'm out of sight. Then sit back and read all the unhinged rants about how they are being harassed in real life by a guy who's not even in the same country as them.

i'd be one of my cats, but i'd understand that being taken to the vet is an act of love, and also i'd have been started on YuMove and got truly decent cat food way earlier.

(i didn't feed them shit, i just bought into the Royal Canin vet approved lies and never looked at their ingredients list til a couple of years ago)

For me? Be solid middle class, living somewhere rural or at least comfy.
Be able to work the job I want. Have at least 2 kids (3 if were lucky and stable).
Be on good terms with my family and neighbors.

As for the world?

Working for myself and my family on homestead in a river valley, far away from the prying eyes of neighbors, government, and any other ne'er-do-wells. Having a house full of kids with my loving wife, who I would be able to pass on the property to when I am finally well and truly gone. I just want to live an honest and humble life.

assuming we’re sticking to reality, I’d probably just want what I have now but enhanced.

Give my dog a longer lifespan. Get rid of my anxieties that don’t do anything to help me (healthy fear is always good but none of my fear qualifies as that). Force myself to be restless enough not to maintain a routine on a regular basis outside of a few mandatory essentials like hygiene or feeding myself + family.

Ideally I’d probably want the courage and perseverance to decide I want to do something and then just sit down and do it instead of second-guessing myself into oblivion until I’m too scared to take a single step forward. Just to think “I want to learn to program” and then sit down and do it even if it’s hard and boring as shit and might not ever amount to anything. I want to dispose of the useless philosopher’s brain where all one can do is sit and contemplate the stupidest shit known to man instead of being useful in any way shape or form.

As for relationships/living well? I guess i’d want to be someplace colder. Cold, but without the awful grey overhangs of places like southern Canada that drain my energy simply by existing. I’ve heard Colorado is kind of like that, but I have yet to visit myself and all I know about it is that skiing and weed are big things so I’m not sure it’d be my ideal place to live lol.

I’d also want the basics in terms of communication and that’s about it. A small group of 5 friends maximum with whom I share many interests and am very close with. The kind of people I could learn from and respect, who wouldn’t put me down unless they were writing a list of people to invite to a ttrpg session or something. Same sort of goes for any husband I’d have, with more emphasis on the “learn from and respect” part than the ttrpg part. A role model who’d be able to do technical stuff around the house and treat the kids well.

Not sure if I’d want a job if I had a family, but assuming I did it’d have to be something I absolutely love that paid well. My brain immediately went to character design but that pays like shit lol. Idk what job I’d love would pay well. But it’d exist in this alternate reality, and I’d be doing it!

Assuming we don’t need to stick to reality whatsoever, I’d just take control of time and explore the entire history of humanity for the rest of my days with my dog in tow. We’d both be immortal, of course, even if that’s kind of a technicality when dealing with time itself.
Probably wouldn’t do much more than “lurk history”. I’d be interested in interacting and shit, but I’m much more interested in the why and how of major historical events than breaking timelines (and my brain) in some vain attempt to stop them. The only exception might be 9/11, and even then that’s probably too far back for me to ever consider it.

…actually, maybe controlling both time and space would be better? That way I could see all that alternate shit without destroying my original reality. Hm…

I get to have enough time and confidence to learn every skill and every bit of information I want to to perfection, even if it takes several lifetimes and even if that skill is something as useless as egyptian tile moulding. I get to fuck with time and travel to places timeperiods and events I want to witness first hand, be it the release of the good the bad and the ugly or Tiannamen. If I dont get that then I want a comic publishing or filmmaking business of my own, one which I can keep family only and fuck over other people to ensure the craft gets passed down and refined to the point of legend status.

literally just one where I spend all day shitposting, except with a new government issued laptop every 4 years and a government issued goth gf and I'll live on the beach in a government-issued house, living off of government-issued food stamps and wiping my ass with government-issued TP
