Genies hate this one trick.

I liked the one from that classic twilight zone episode better wherte the (i believe mathematician) told the genie to "get lost"

Even if any of the three wishes are deemed valid or invalid the net result will be nothing happens, no?

First rule: don't fuck with djinn, hags, or fae. Demons maybe, at least you know what they want.

Your sweet, sweet balloon knot. Forever, taking that hot demon gel. Ask Kage.

When the demon tries to trip you up by asking for tea and cookies to be left out at night:

Gratz, you played yourself and get no wishes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

maybe the real you played yourself was the wishes they made along the way

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Does everyone not understand this yet? The only winning move with a genie is to not play.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think I saw a video once explaining how the only winning move is to make your wish be to let the genie grant you what you desire most.

Because only the genie as the wish granter has access to all possibilities a wish good grant, but you don't, so your wish could always be misinterpreted, while the genies knowledge cannot be.

You are now dead. Killed by 100 million dollars, in gold, falling onto your head.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Genie would know you don't desire to die though, or that you would want it in gold, so that wouldn't happen.

  1. I wish to know the true name of the genie who is granting me wishes.

  2. I wish [genie's true name] to be freed, mortal and without magical powers, now and henceforth.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

You are now trapped in a bottle.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Wrong, and geniephobic.

Wish one, genie give me a copy of your private key for the wish granting API

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Granted, you are now a genie with access to the wish granting API private key. Make all the copies you like.
