R. Mute posted:1 remove that ban on wishing for unlimited wishes You can't trick a djinn, you can remove the ban, however, if you go to make a fourth wish, your tongue will turn to liquid as blood oozes out your mouth and an asteroid falls on your head as a sinkhole opens beneath you while your brain goes into a state of seizure and your heart ceases to beat from all your arteries spontaneously clogging at once. There are a few fundamental moral positions I stick to without compromise: Don't gently caress with djinn is one.

See I'd wish for one billion dollars annual income, indexed to inflation and sourced from the coffers of the top 100 international companies. Then I'd wish for eternal youth. I'd bank the last one to undo the inevitable monkey paw twist.

R. Mute posted:look all this mixing up of monkey paws with genies is pissing me off!! Traditional "Arabian Nights" style genies either instantly declare their intent to slaughter you the instant you release them from their wax-sealed prison, granting you only the choice of the manner of your demise (which you must use to trick them back into their jar), or else are the "Slave of the Lamp/Ring" and just do whatever the owner of said lamp or ring wants. Aladdin gets his genie to do like an infinite amount of stuff.

I'm not quite sure on how genies work but I think the genie would just use this as an opportunity to just gently caress other genies non-stop.

Even the most heavily bowdlerized legitimate translation would be far, far, too racy for the American public school system (not to mention sexist, racist, etc.) A major reason Aladdin and Ali Baba are the most popular stories in the west is that they're by far the cleanest out of the whole assortment. (My personal favorite translation is Mardrus & Mathers). That said Best-Loved Folktales from Around the World really should be a textbook somewhere.

We got some Bulfinch's Mythology in the conservative rural area I grew up in, and that was pretty racy. Also Huck Finn, and that's pretty racist.

I'd wish for post scarcity boxes. Simple boxes that come in many sizes with a aural user interface, a door much like a microwave or fridge that when sealed can be set to conjure any and all matter and materials like a sandwich or a cylinder of Helium, which I hear is scarce now a days. And it's not like that retarded replicator from Star Trek where you need matter to start with, this thing pulls what you ask it for from infinite dimensions where stuff probably exists just to be transported to the box. Interested to know how this will backfire!
