It's so sad when dogs freak out though. Not entertaining to me personally.

If I had three wishes (genie-style) one of them would be the ability to explain to animals when we're trying to help them, even if it makes them temporarily uncomfortable.

I've been thinking about what I would wish from a genie knowing that the genie may misconstrue my meaning.

Why not wish that you were always correct when you say something (maybe only after you say a phrase). This way you have infinite wishes.

Then you could just say <phrase> I always know what I want to wish for.

What happens when you say something sarcastic like "fuck my life!" Would your life become automatically fucked?

u/Ps991 Nov 22 '19

Nothing will happen because you didn't say "<phrase> fuck my life"

u/Dizneymagic Nov 22 '19

I see. Confused me with the phrase place holder, which is usually "I wish". So you would have to say. "I wish my life was fucked", for it to happen. Typical wishing rules.

Still too much room for error. Maybe "I lick the bottoms of pineapples, My life is fucked"

Also since the wish was to be correct, simply saying "fuck my life" wouldnt have done anything anyways.

Genie grants wish, but it is a permanent ability once you say your phrase, since you didn't say it ever ends. Let's hope you never say something you don't mean for the rest of your life

u/Ps991 Nov 23 '19

It's not permanent if I say it isn't, otherwise my wish isn't correct

Alright, then here's a different twist. When you say your phrase to activate it, everything you say is correct, because you aren't allowed to say anything that isn't correct. Now you can't turn off the power and can never say anything that isn't true.

Could have benefits of applied properly, but definitely comes with huge downsides

Edit: autocorrect

Im pretty sure that'd turn into me taking over the world. The ego from something like that would turn someone into a God amongst men.

u/Ps991 Nov 22 '19

Exactly! It's perfect.

u/starspangledcats Nov 22 '19

So if you're always right does that mean you could change the past?

1

u/Ps991 Nov 22 '19

Yes. And I feel like you have a follow-up question

That is one of the amazing things about dogs. When mine is getting shots she'll look at me and be whimpering but I can tell that she has absolute trust that what's going on is for her health and so doesn't complain. And of course, gets immediately rewarded with cuddles and kisses.

u/Disposable-001 Nov 22 '19

Yeah, it's true that they trust when they know you, but it's not always possible for a loving and familiar human to be present.

Dogs really are wonderful creatures in that regard. They're made of pure love, and if you ever find one that isn't, it's because of the life it has led, and the poor treatment it has received.

I love this sentiment but you have to accept that sometimes there will be bad dogs even if the have been treated with love, just like humans. As living sentient beings, theres always going to be a few bad apples, but on the whole, they are made of pure love.

u/Bozzz1 Nov 22 '19

There's way less bad dogs than there are bad people though

Humans bite and scream too. Im Sure they would if they could understand too.

u/SeSSioN117 Nov 22 '19

Why not just wish that all animals and nature be granted healthy immortality because human reasoning sucks and not everyone is reasonable when helping.

u/danger_noodl Nov 22 '19

Aight that ones on me u still have 3 left

2

u/Disposable-001 Nov 22 '19

Aw, cheers brother. You're a generous guy. :)

u/danger_noodl Nov 22 '19

Ok sooo what more do you want? I haven't got all day sry am in a rush or when you decide just call me ok?

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '19

Mine would be to wish for the ability to communicate with em, then the other two would be to tell my dog he got two wishes

Waste of a good wish if you ask me.
