Comic Strips

Doesn't work, since they are fulfilled sequentially.

Do the opposite of my next wish. -> Fulfilled, he is set to do the opposite next.

Don't fulfill my 3rd wish. -> Fulfilled, the wish does effectively nothing and he's got one left that will be fulfilled. All instructions from the first wish are done with and discarded.

Ignore my first wish. -> Fulfilled, there is nothing left to be ignored about his first wish anymore since it's already done. The wish does nothing and he successfully wasted all 3 by trying to be a smart ass.

First rule: don't fuck with djinn, hags, or fae. Demons maybe, at least you know what they want.

You could have had fame, riches or beauty but instead you chose to be a dick.

Gratz, you played yourself and get no wishes.

Then on the third wish he just says "nah, that won't work" and you've just burned 2 and confused yourself.

Again, from the last time this was reposted, none of these are wishes.

Those aren't wishes, just commands.

That oughta teach him a lesson

Even if any of the three wishes are deemed valid or invalid the net result will be nothing happens, no?

Wish 1 cancels out wish 2, leaving us with the default state of granting the third wish. The genie grants the third wish by biting his tongue and ignoring how stupid the first wish was.

Genies hate computer software developers

Does everyone not understand this yet? The only winning move with a genie is to not play.

Wish one, genie give me a copy of your private key for the wish granting API

I liked the one from that classic twilight zone episode better wherte the (i believe mathematician) told the genie to "get lost"

Genies hate this one trick.
