Reply to comment by fishford42 in [WP] A man finds a genie's bottle, complete with a real live genie. Instead of blindly asking for wishes, he first asks politely for the genies advice on what to wish for. by mdsmestad

The first wish was kinda stupid, he should've asked for the power to teleport, so he could've gotten out of the cave and used it afterwards.

genie: don't wish for momentary things

tim: immediately wishes for something momentary

Also, if it's possible, make sure teleportation is a painless power.

I'm gonna wish for the best lawyer in the universe who can also speak my language and won't charge me money and also is very motivated to help me get whatever i want a 100%, then make said lawyer make up 2 perfect wishes for me and make the genie sign them.

(yeah i'm stealing the idea from Timmy Turner but it's still the best idea for dealing with a malicious genie)

For years i had similar idea as child and some time as teen i just thought to add something like wishing the wish would come through exactly how would want/i want it to with no negative consequences i wouldn't want (not adding exact phrasing now) But yah not that long ago saw lawyer thing( so something i later regret can't happen since no negative unwanted consequences for me not just harms)

That also makes sense, like "everything needs to go good for ME, and how i would view good right now in my point of view, no harm OF ANY TIPE must come to me or the planet earth or all living creatures on the planet " but i still think a lawyer might think up something better than me.

Theres a flaw in that wish, right there “all living creatures” meaning the genie can bend that wish to harm every animal except for one.

The only animal that I can think of that’s dead are viruses (I could be wrong, science class was forever ago) and the genie can just go right ahead and harm them further into death XD
