You could have had fame, riches or beauty but instead you chose to be a dick.
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.
🤮
what?
HE SAID “YOUR SWEET, SWEET BALLOON KNOT. FOREVER, TAKING THAT HOT DEMON GEL. ASK KAGE.”
Trust me kage, it’s the only way!
Gratz, you played yourself and get no wishes.
Wish 1 cancels out wish 2, leaving us with the default state of granting the third wish. The genie grants the third wish by biting his tongue and ignoring how stupid the first wish was.
Again, from the last time this was reposted, none of these are wishes.
Why not? If I wish that someone ignores something, that’s a valid wish IMO.
Because they never say “wish”, they just issue commands.
I dunno. If he told the djinn ‘Give me a nice car’ or ‘Make Trump eat a pile of dog poop’ in response to the offering of 3 wishes, that qualifies as a wish to me even though it doesn’t contain the word.
Doesn’t work, since they are fulfilled sequentially.
Do the opposite of my next wish. -> Fulfilled, he is set to do the opposite next.
Don’t fulfill my 3rd wish. -> Fulfilled, the wish does effectively nothing and he’s got one left that will be fulfilled. All instructions from the first wish are done with and discarded.
Ignore my first wish. -> Fulfilled, there is nothing left to be ignored about his first wish anymore since it’s already done. The wish does nothing and he successfully wasted all 3 by trying to be a smart ass.
Yup, the genie just did that last bit to make him feel like he actually outsmarted him or something. In reality he’s just glad he doesn’t have to be around him any more.
I like it, it’s a love story, everyone goes home happy.
Also if the genie is a thinking agent or even just capable of detecting an infinite loop this falls apart.
Imagine trying to ward off a genie by yelling: “THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!”
EVERYTHING I SAY IS A LIE, I ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH!
instant
If everything you say is a lie, then the statements ‘everything you say is a lie’, and ‘you always tell the truth’ are both lies. Which means the first statement could be that some things you say are lies and you always tell the truth is one of those lies.
You are now stuck in an infinite loop with a rabbit and turtle.
I feel like this guy plays mtg
I wonder if genies are subject to numerical integer underflow.
They can be. If you wish for it.
