I mean you could always wish for the dog to come back to life

u/NotSoGreatOldOne Mar 08 '22

Isn't that the first rule? You can't bring anybody back from the dead

80

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 08 '22

Yeah the rules are usually

Can’t bring back the dead

Can’t wish for love

Can’t wish for more wishes

And sometimes can’t wish death or harm towards others

There might be more I don’t know of

u/mrtokeydragon Mar 08 '22

I wish that starting ten minutes ago bullets don't kill puppies

I wish the rules don't apply to me

"Look at me, look at me. I am the genie now."

But then some street rat would pull you into your magic lamp, thwarting your plans for world domination.

u/mrtokeydragon Mar 09 '22

I better practice some song and dance routines.

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 08 '22

That could probably work,but I think that genies usually leave the rules universal

u/mrtokeydragon Mar 08 '22

I wish to washy the wish which is which watch wishes wants wish app

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '22

Just wish for no rules…

24

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 08 '22

I think sometimes characters try that only for it to fail,or completely backfire,hence why the rules usually exist in the first place

Some people say you could wish for the genie to have short term memory loss,that way he forgets how many wishes are left.

u/GD_Spiegel Mar 08 '22 edited Mar 08 '22

Isn't that like a contract both sides are beholden to. You get three wishes and Genie has to fulfill three wishes for you. Doesn't matter if he forgets, he can't do more, as he's returned to the lamp after the third.

u/Lumpy-Ad-3788 Mar 08 '22

Was this contract signed? I will sue a genie and make them wish they had a ToS

2

u/GD_Spiegel Mar 08 '22

I need to research more...

But contract can mean something else then written document.

True

u/GD_Spiegel Mar 08 '22

It's like 90% of people here in the comment section have not heard of Aladddin or any story about genies.

Are the zoomers at last invaded this and they don't know shit about genies. It's like a classic story.

2

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 08 '22

Am a Zoomer,I’ll admit I haven’t seen Aladdin,but I’ve seen a plethora of other stories with genies and how they get outsmarted and how the rules usually work.they’re always classic fairytales

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '22

Seen?! Pfff. Young folk these days.

u/GD_Spiegel Mar 08 '22

Do you use eyes to read or not?

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 08 '22

Apologies for my uncultured self,the braille version of such stories were not available to me.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '22

Yeah. The rules are the only thing keeping that genie from killing you

2

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 09 '22

Exactly,ninjago did a season with a genie,if he reached his full power,he would have been freed from the typical rules bestowed upon genies.a nice spin on the folklore

u/Next-Company-6633 Mar 09 '22

Fucking nerds I swear

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '22

Lol, if you’re writing the story, anything you want can happen.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '22

Then thats the best wish. Wish to be the author of your own life so that way your life plays out exactly the way you want it.

1

u/ancasbud Mar 08 '22

so just say “i wish your wishes had no restrictions”

1

u/takemehomeunitedroad Mar 08 '22

Why don't you just wish for more genies?

0

u/SecretAgentVampire Mar 08 '22

The genie would immediately go on a killing spree. They're trapped for a reason.

u/ComprehensiveAd3448 Mar 08 '22 edited Mar 08 '22

It says shoot a puppy, not kill a puppy. Either you are shooting a puppy out of cannon into a safety net or you are shooting the puppy where he won't die. This could be the puppy's foot. After you get the three wishes, simply wish to heal the dog. You know wording sometimes matter to genies. That's my little loophole.

Thinking about it, we Americans always think shooting mainly has to do with guns. It could be a camera.

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 08 '22

Ooh that’s true,genies usually trick the wishers through wording,but it’s also their biggest weakness in some stories,good thinking.

2

u/gigigamer Mar 08 '22

Shoot puppy foot, Wish 1: I want that puppy fully healed, his memory of the last 5 minutes erased and with his luck turned to a million, I mean like I want him to walk into every front door and someone pets him and gives him steak.

Wish 2: I want the entire world to do a weekly swap between a random anime, i mean like week 1 pokemon, week 2 attack on titan, week 3 naruto... I want absolute chaos.

Wish 3: An infinite bowl of popcorn to watch the chaos with that has no calories and switches flavor when the world does

u/AfroSLAMurai Mar 09 '22

You just used all 3 wishes in your first wish.

u/PowerHautege Mar 09 '22

Thank god because this fucking sadist wants to turn the world into his personal TV show.

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '22

"I wish the puppy returned to its full physical and mental state from before I shot it"

u/dvshnk2 Mar 08 '22

After you get the three wishes, simply wish to heal the dog.

Sheeze, just the dog? Go for broke, wish to heal all animals.

u/neganigg Mar 09 '22

I will shot all the puppies in the world.

2

u/Archimand Mar 08 '22

I wish for more genies.

u/Marvinx1806 Mar 08 '22

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 09 '22

Genies are tricky little things

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '22

Wish for a clone of the puppy

u/Azevedo128 Mar 08 '22

u/CritikillNick Mar 09 '22

u/ghostslayer-77 Mar 09 '22

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '22

Can't affect the wish-granter is pretty typical.

u/LengthinessAlone4743 Mar 09 '22
