Pretty shitty wish selection if you ask me.

Lactose, shrimp. The next strip will be related to peanut butter.

Cursed involuntary jet propulsion.

Given that humans are mostly water, we would probably die...instantly? Within a few minutes?

Definitely very very quickly.

A few days later it would be an interesting situation with all those rancid milk oceans with dead fish.

Make everyone lactose intolerance: everyone is a malfunctioning system now.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Sorry, she should have written:

Make everyone a lactose.

I mean, having the shits is gonna be the least of our problems. All marine life will cease to exist, so diarrhea is only a problem for a little while.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

Not all marine life, just the big stuff. We just added a ton of sugar, fat and protein to the ocean, so I think we're going to see an explosion of microbial life.

Now, with milk being opaque, I think we are going to kill most of the phytoplankton and replace it with bacteria that produce CO2 as a byproduct of their metabolism, so I do think we're going to drastically change the Earth's atmosphere and more or less run out of oxygen eventually, so we are definitely all dead. It's just a question of how long it takes.

She wouldn't have even had time to get to wish 2 and 3. "All water" includes the water in her body. Turning all of it into milk would probably kill you.

Plot twist: only destilated water got turned, effects are minimal

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 5 points 13 hours ago

All toilets are still destroyed tho

[–] PineRune@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

For once the Money Paw clause is... helpful?

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Milk is 87 percent water. If the water in milk is replaced, there would be water in that milk. Potentially creating an explosion of milk everywhere or a tremendous thickening of the milk.

All life on Earth dies because every life form has 13% of their water content replaced with pure milk. Including the one who made the wish. Supernatural entities like jinns might be okay, though.

Yeah. I saw it too. But it's not bothering me enough to edit the original author's mistake

Netorare what?

But I'm grammar error intolerant 🙁

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Normal milk is still mostly water so basically everything turns in some kind of dense rancid cheese?

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 12 hours ago

Yes. Be afraid.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 12 hours ago

Yup, that sells her as evil way more than shitty recycling.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

How well do toilets fare if water is replaced with milk?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Given that they were all destroyed right after all the water became milk, I would say not well

[–] moshankey@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

But it’s still funny!
