If a genie were to grant you three wishes, what would they be?

[Kayla45]

I'd wish for unlimited resources, that way I can help others.
Along with that I'd wish for brand new homes for the homeless
Also, I'd wish for a high end gpu for my computer.

[Aethereal]

I would wish that that any sentence I make containing the phrase "I wish" will be fulfilled immediately. E. g. I wish for $5, done, I wish for immortality, done. With that one wish, I don't need the remaining two.

Now suppose you insist that your genie doesn't let me make a smart wish like the one above;
- I wish for the ability to influence the minds of living things, or (at the very least) that anyone who sees me will permanently lose the desire to do and/or wish me any kind of harm.
- I wish for things to always go my way i. e. to never have bad luck
- I wish for the ability to absorb/memorize new knowledge and information extremely easily.

I really want immortality and limitless resources. But I figure that rather than spend a wish on those, the above three wishes combined will allow me to easily make both of them on my own.

[Aethereal]

I just have to add; y'all really shouldn't be freeing that Genie. A free genie may not lose its powers. What if it decides to go on a world-wide genocide, or torture humanity? Don't assume you'll get the short-sighted genie from Aladdin. To safely free a genie, you'd probably need to use your other two wishes to stipulate the appropriate terms. I hold the view that a genie that is unwilling to grant a wish that allows you to somehow have more than three wishes is inherently malevolent.

[chulo1992]

My 3 wishes would be:
1- An apartment with garage access
2- The woman of dreams
3- No more violence in the world

[wingattebaby16]

i have been asked this so much in school, at work, and by friends at parties:

1) Power to understand, control, and manipulate the "carbon strings" in organisms by simply touching them and using my mind to see and understand what i want to do in myself and others.

2) Ability to Read Minds

3) Ability to Control Minds

If you are curious for more detail, respond to my post... i am bored being a housewife... the kids are napping now and i am tired of Ellen, The View, The Talk, etc... arghhhh

[Djaay]

Uh... that position is already taken.

[wingattebaby16]

@Djaay what superhero?

[Djaay]

God !

[Djaay]

Then again i see your point. Sure would like to hesr of some detsils you have tho

[FreyaRed]

- endless life span for me
- endless youth
- endless money

[R35skylinett]

Endless Life can be curse

[Sonorous]

• A Genius level IQ
• Superman's abilities minus his weaknesses
•

And I'm leaving that last slot open just in case my values change.

[MCheetah]

Make me permanently taller: 6'5"/195 cm at the end of the day (not morning height, which would be even taller).

Make me meet my existing soulmate (most romantically compatible partner) on the planet right now and give us two hours alone to talk to each other and form a genuine connection.

Give me $500 million through winning the lottery, so I can begin by making the world a better place to live in. I'd start a business where I award people money each time they significantly improve the neighborhood around them. Kind of like a good semaritan awards program where you can get $500,000 for making the world a better place.

[CuriousJC]

My 3 wishes would be:

1. The power just to create anything I want keeping it or making it disappear out of reality.

2. Make a permanent law stating: That if a man or woman does not find a boyfriend or girlfriend by the end of every month has to pay a fine of $900 automatically or spend 3 years in prison immediately. Also, if a man or woman ask strangers he or she doesn't know for things such as money or sex without being in a relationship first has to pay double the fines. (That should increase the chances for people finding love relationships by 90%)

3. Permanent Respawn Wealth. (whenever my money hits anywhere below $100,000 respawns right back up to $10 million automatically)

[IMuser]

In your second point, you are forcing relationships? Like if i don't get a relationship at end of each month, i will be paying $900?

@IMuser Well last year: A growing share of American adults are living the single life. The Pew Research Center found that in 2021, 69% of American adults between the ages of 25 and 79 were not married or living with a romantic partner. If you got a better idea to increase your chances of finding someone, then by all means; be my guest.

[IMuser]

What's better: being committed by choice OR being committed forcefully?

Even if you have a relationship, if you are with someone to save money, a "true" relationship would never get formed and therefore, it is just like being single but having company (unless you include the rule that the partners will have to have sexual intercourse and prove it, however it would still be forced)

I really don't have a solution to increase number of relationships. However, the root cause of today's dysfunctional numbers is having more men than women. If the numbers flipped, that is more women than men, then number of relationships might increase

Though this can be seen in another way: do you deserve a relationship? In the "earlier" times, men had to pass a certain criteria (it can be a combination of money, power, influence etc) after which he was eligible for courting a woman. (I believe I read somewhere that 80% of the women reproduced while 40% of men did. This means there was polygamy back then). From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes sense: you are a strong man, have resources to raise children: be the father of many children and spread your genes

Makes sense?

If you take away money to solve homelessness, broken marriages, money stress it will only cause another issue because humans like animals have to always prove who is better.

So, I guess instead I'll just wish for...

1. No more homelessness for both humans and pets.

2. Unlimited money to be able to help anyone struggling or stressing about money.

3. Swap working during the week to working just the weekends instead so people can enjoy life instead of wasting it away at their jobs.

I'm hoping that with solving a huge percentage of the money issues that it'll also solve a lot of violence too. Since a good amount of violence is caused by money stress.

[call_me_scar]

Assuming I can't just wish to have the powers of a all powerful god I'd wish to have the powers of professor X, the power to always know the truth/what to do when I need it like for example I can't fly a rocket right now but after the power is granted I still won't know how to until I'm in the driver set or If I'm talking about flying it but after that's done I'll forget how to fly the rocket again until my skill is needed again, and the power to control my body more like for example I fucken hate shaving so I'll command my body to stop producing hair anywhere but my head

[Tiptoetamm]

First would be too help my father retire seriously that man has worked his ass off for meals and my 6 sibling. Second a vacation home somewhere tropical like Bahamas somewhere beautiful all the time. And third my chronic pain would be over. Chronic pain sucks seriously

[SmolOrcaBoi]

1. Well, there are no rules against becoming a god/deity. (Meant as no religious offense! I just mean as an immortal deity with the powers of creation!) That was, I can create life forms and solve problems in the world fist-hand, without having to prioritize only three. Basically solves the “No wishing for more wishes” thing but with extra perks.

[ohshee]

You have one of same wishes that i have.
I would want some kind of corporation that has a never-ending amount of money inside of it only to be used to help people and specially the homeless or families with kids that have no money to eat

I mean there's a lot of things that I believe in that I want to experience that I want to explore that I actually crave I think sometimes but if I could have that top one I would forget about all the rest of them

[NathanDavis]

- revert time... and make the Super Bowl go to overtime, because the last play was kind of meh for a finish

- unlimited sources of free, kitten food

- I really feel like having some pistachio ice cream but don't feel like going out and get it... lol

[Anonymous]

Unlimited resources like you then I could help others as well as spend time and effort to try and correct where things are wrong. And where the systems fail people try to help them.

If I had unlimited resources tbh I have some unusual ideas that I think would be good.

I'd wish for some appearance changes tbh like getting rid of the scarring on my arm and that.

And i think I'd want to also wish to be smarter with an idetic memory. As with that I could do more good.

I know the middle one is a selfish one but I'd want to use the resources and higher intellect for good so I know it's selfish but Its something I'd just want to do for me.

[Anonymous]

I feel like all genie wishes are a trap. Like if you wish for money, where is that money coming from exactly? Or if you wished for love, it wouldn't be real as they'd be under a spell forced to love you rather than it be authentic. I think I'd simply wish for the genie to be free. I think that would be the most benevolent thing I could do in that scenario.

[Andres77]

Immortality (perfect health and fitness).
1,000,000,000 in untraceable funds and an ATM card that I'll never lose or forget the PIN.
I'll keep the third wish in reserve (to save a loved one in the future).

[Prettysammie]

For the person I loved the most not to have gotten sick and died.

To be able to heal the sick or for those I care about to have perfect health or a healing ability like Wolverine from the X-men movies

To have a good income every month for the rest of my life

[Gorge95]

•An end to the crazy gender war (I’m tired of hearing men and women bash each other like try make amends and work with each other’s differences or shut up…Rant over).
•A cleaner planet
•An extremely fast metabolism into older age.

[LinaDaGoddess]

I’d wish for endless wealth & power, I’d wish to be healthy and live a happy 300 years. And for the last one, I’d wish that my family and generations to come never have to worry again. (They live completely wealthy, healthy and stress free)

[Anonymous]

1.) Ultimate Wisdom as the first wish. This will help me make better wishes for 2 and 3. I think 2 would be probably be ultimate power and 3 will be wishing for more wishes.

Truth is I wish I had way to control time. Lots of people wish for this but I wish I could create alternative dimension were I could go back in time. I would leave this dimension as is because their are unintended consequences when you change past events. I rather experiment in a different dimension.

[Babygirl_S]

*Be the girlfriend of Henry Cavill when he was 25
(Omg no one can come close to that level of handsomeness)
*Stay young forever
*Stay thin forever

[Agape93]

I only need one. Give me the power to fully control reality.

[katiesmuff]

I believe my three wishes were granted few years ago with me having a great husband, great kids and a comfortable living! I really don't know how it could get any better than that.

[FoxyGirl2987]

1. To give me the most amazing boobs ever
2. To give me the most amazing ass ever
3. To make it that my friend never moved to the other side of the country
