I want a single line of code which shows a popup dialog with the words "Hello World!" and an "Ok" button. (I want something simple for now, I know how to make something more complicated but that would be stupid at this point in development).

\$\begingroup\$ Hi Strategy Thinker, have you searched for any Godot tutorials? Last time I searched online, I found more than enough sites with helpful content. \$\endgroup\$– Tom TsagkatosCommented Dec 13, 2019 at 11:54

You can use the OS / platform's alert system:
OS.alert('This is your message', 'Message Title')
You can use WindowDialog or subclass on any node like this:
func alert(text: String, title: String='Message') -> void:
var dialog = AcceptDialog.new()
dialog.dialog_text = text
dialog.window_title = title
dialog.connect('modal_closed', dialog, 'queue_free')
add_child(dialog)
dialog.popup_centered()
You can do the above, but globally:
func alert(text: String, title: String='Message') -> void:
# ... code from above, but instead of `add_child(dialog)` do
var scene_tree = Engine.get_main_loop()
scene_tree.current_scene.add_child(dialog)
dialog.popup_centered()
