I would have just gone with the obvious answer: telepathic will

This is why we can't have nice things

As an engineer of sorts, this is every conversation that I have with clients, but comic lady answers waaaaaaaaaay better than most people lol.

Genie: What kind of bird?

Clients: I saw a very pretty bird once, I think it was in Europe. It had feathers and part of it was black.

Genie:.... Right.

Except after the second question it makes generic assumptions and responds immediately from data it's hallucinated rather than backed up with facts, despite telling it to do so or having had explicitly shared with it the full context beforehand.

Guys I got it.

I want a Green Lantern ring.

ring flys away looking for a worthy holder

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

You should ask for the OG green lantern ring, just magic

Wings? Nah, if I can't fly like Goku I don't want to fly at all.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fine. You get superhero-style flight. But just to be a dick, the genie makes it so you can only fly feet first.

I'm sure you mean grown up DBZ Goku, but I would 100% take a flying nimbus and putter around the skies on my little cloud buddy. Just remember to pack a parachute!

dunno. inflating like a pufferfish and becoming a dirigible is cool too. i could go for that.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The genie grants your wish. You inflate via your own flatus. When you land, you have to release a fart big enough to buoyantly lift an entire human body.

Aww he gets me

[–] eodur@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you for that visual. I never realized the world needed Zeppelin Man.

As long as you don't become Hindenburg Man

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
