wish granted, you will never ever in your entire life be surprised, everything that happens will be extremely boring.


You're doing it wrong.

Wish granted. Unfortunately there are restrictions. Now the only thing you can do with those wishes is wish for more wishes.

Now the genie basically can just keep granting you wishes while he takes a vacation.

I wish I could change between a panda and a human at will.

I would wish that me and my counterpart from the possible world closest to this one but where I have "x" (recources, happiness etc) could switch worlds.

Also, i wouldnt wish that we "could switch worlds" i would directly tell the genie to do it

EDIT: I am here refferign to David Lewis's theory of possible worlds

and note that by wishing to change possible worlds, you can actually wish for more than one thing, becuase your one wish is to be exchanged from one world with your counterpart, but in that world you might have many things that you wanted in this one

Also note, when philosophers say "closest possible world", it means the one where everything is identical to this world except the things specified

wish granted, due to unspecification of 'x' the genie switches you and the you in the world where you are the most miserable


I specify "x" i merely left it as "x" to show that this system of wishing would be aplicable for any world the wisher wanted it to be used for, -i- would specify an "x" as would anyone else whishing in this manner

EDIT: Example

"I wish that i could exchance worlds with my counterpart in the nearest possible world to this one where I am legitimatly wealthy, powerfull and happy"

wish granted, the you that you switch with is unhappy with the switch because he lost all his money, power and happiness while you have it, but the one you switched with was hated by the world, but he didn't care.


That wouldnt be the closest possible world, that would jsut be a close one, in the closest possible world, i am not hated

EDIT: also, i dont care if my counter part is unhappy, im still happy :3

wish granted, you switch and find yourself in a world where you are rich through inheritance because every one of your relatives within four generations have died, you work out 20 hours per day so you are plenty powerful but so overmuscled your old self is barely recogniscable (and not in a pretty way), and you have downs syndrome (everyone knows that people suffering from downs syndrome are unusually happy most of the time).

are you happy now?

for the record, if you complain again about "this is not the closest world" I can very easily make you switch dimensions with a you that is identical to you in this world except he has 1 cent more in his pocket, and because he has more money than you, he is by extension more economically powerful and infinitesmally more happy than you.

I can, if I really want to be an asshole, add: however, due to the atoms in the cent that he had, a meteorite that would otherwise have skirted the earth by a large margine will have been effected by the gravity from the coin for billions of years, altering its course to collide with earth sometime in december 2012 and probably wiping out the entire terrestrial population.

how do you want it?

when will people realize that the genie disappears for 1000 years after he grants the wish for more wishes?

i.e. you have 1000 wishes, but you have to wait a 1000 years to use them.

wish granted, everyone else loses the game, since you were reminded of the game, you lost the game before you won the game.

for the record, the purpose of the game is to make every human on earth lose the game, congratulations, you just ended the game!

wish granted, all fish in the sea dies, and the plankton in the sea thrive in the now-extremely sugary substance, including those that emit poison to humans, within 6 hours the chocolate seas are filled with approximatelly 3 billion plankton per cubic centimeter, and all sea-chocolate becomes so poisonous for mankind that if you dip any bodypart in it you will get blisters all over the skin.

Granted, now you're the genie, hope somebody finds you in 1000 years!

Seems like all of these wishes could just be ruined with "granted, but now you're a frog". And if they wish to be a frog: "granted, but now you're a legless frog". A perfectly healthy frog with no imminent danger? "granted, you're an immortal frog, enjoy!"


I wish Draco and Mistrzzz played sc2 (and were good at it).

Lets see. Nothing happens. for your wish to come true, the genie first has to grant a wish and trigger yours ("when the genie disappears). He grants your wish, but realizes the condition, hence genie retires to a beach in the Caribbean with a harem of Latinas and bottomless margaritas and other drinks. He refuses to grant wishes anymore. He lives forever like this.

wish granted, the genie proceeds to repeat: "I wish for you and all your loved ones to die" until you agrees or you die of either starvation or age.

the point of this thread is to corrupt the wish by intentionally misinterpretting the wish, not add something that was never related to the wish to begin with.

wish granted, they are so good everyone else ggs before the game begins, except whe they face each other, both of them have such awesome micro that they never lose a unit so the game never ends. aka sc2 proscene ruined.
