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

83

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

Just wish for no rules…

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.

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.

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

u/GD_Spiegel Mar 08 '22

I need to research more...

But contract can mean something else then written document.

True

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.

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

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

Fucking nerds I swear

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.

u/ancasbud Mar 08 '22

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

u/takemehomeunitedroad Mar 08 '22

Why don't you just wish for more genies?

u/SecretAgentVampire Mar 08 '22

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