I think I would like the ability to control time. Not quite sure tho, seems kinda scary. But i guess, as long as i follow the spiderman ideology (with great power comes great responibility) i might be alright! :D

any inputs on controlling time?

Imagine you found a magic lamp who's contents include an all powerful genie. This genie is charged with granting one wish to any individual who finds it and then promptly causing itself and it's lamp to disappear for one thousand years. The genie in this lamp used to be a regular human and as such still contains many fallacies of humanity including making mistakes, anger at being held captive for eternity, and a very dark sense of humor.

You may have one wish.

but the genie is vengeful.

He will try to ruin your wish. He is forced to grant your wish perfectly as stated and without question, but he may subtly alter the world around you in a most evil way to make your wish come true. For example, if you ask for infinite wishes not only would that spell infinite torture but the genie could almost certainly kill off everything you hold dear as you start using them.

State your wish! Try to undermine other people's wishes!


My wish:

I wish I could fly.


the genie probably turned you into a pigeon or something.....


hmm i probably wish that i was the president of my country, and clean things up a bit, probably gonna get assasinated in the 1st month of my term, but before that heads will roll!!!!

i was thinking of the Movie bedazzled, so many things can go wrong with wishes
im the Villain of the Story, im not meant to be saved

Ok, if I were the genie I would just stand there, tell you that I've done your wish, and go back into my lamp never for you to see me again.

You wished that you could wish for more wishes. I have granted that wish. Problem is that you already COULD wish for more wishes, you just wouldn't get that wish granted. So well done, you have gained absolutely nothing.

I'm calling bullshit on this. You think before we had organised religion and the concept of hell humans were just ripping each other to shreds at the slightest provocation? Look at the way apes behave, they have social heirarchy and they act with 'morals' even though they don't understand anything like the concept of religion.

Wish Granted! As time and space are quite interconnected though you have become unable to move. You live out your normal lifespan switching between times, observing but never interacting. A lonely existence, but fortunately it will be over in about 80 years. MWAHAHAHA!

Oh, the genie didn't misunderstand. Quite the opposite, it helped everyone turn evil as a direct consequence of losing their religion. It was impressively influential in the process.

What would he do?

Ever heard of paradox? If genies would not exist you could not make a wish that genies would not exist, so genies would exist and you could make a wish that genies would not exist, so genies would not exist and you could not make a wish that genies would not exist, so genies would exist and you could make a wish that genies would not exist, so genies would not exist and you...

Well, let me rephrase that. YOU, Ghen, don't understand society and humanity. Because taking away religion would not have the deleterious effect you imagine. Humans do not need religion to act morally. If you think that then you need to do some reading and get to know the world a little better. It would possibly upset some situations, it would create weird blanks in others, it might fuck up some countries, but there is no way 95% of people would suddenly say 'GREAT now I can rape children!' because what is the thing that makes most of us not commit crimes? Fear of being caught by the authorities and going to jail. Not fear that God will look down on us.

i wish i was invisible

if I was a vengeful genie, then I would remove all the electrons in all the atoms in your body, the cores would then push away from each other and you would be disintegrated, since noone will be able to see the individual atom cores, you would be invisible.

alternatively, I would remove every cognitive being and place somewhere else, since noone is there to see you, you would be, in effect, invisible

The genie reduces your IQ to below Down's Syndrome level. He then puts you in a room where the only thing is a crayon, which keeps you amused and truly happy. He removes your sexual organs and any other things relating to instinct, meaning you need or want for nothing. He also removes your desire for companionship and friends. You are truly happy. The only thing he leaves you is the ability to know when you are ready to die, and a button which, if you press it, the room will fold in on itself and you will die.

Reminds me of an episode of Ghost Busters. They had this kind of thing too, but the wish granter was an asshole. When someone wished himself endless money, he was drowned in coins etc. (actual contents of episode I don't remember though, that must've been like.... 15 years ago?)
If you value your soul, never look into the eye of a horse. Your soul will forever be lost in the void of the horse.

Granted, but you would also know when people you love, including yourself, are gonna die. Also, the valuable information you hold makes you a prime target voor the world, oh, and your head would explode from too much info

My wish: Peace in the world.
