f.wish by boredomresearch
boredomresearch launch f.wish a new kind of online forum for folly.
Inspired by the Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees in Hong Kong where visitors make a wish by writing it on yellow paper and tying it to an orange to hang on a branch. If your wish hangs in the tree it will come true, if not the myth claims that your wish is too greedy.
