    If you found Aladdin's lamp, what would your 3 wishes be?

    No wishing for more wishes
    No bringing back the dead
    No making anyone fall in love with you

    Hmm, tough thread. Are there any lawyerish wish-interpreters that could find loophole ways to screw us? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    And even barring that, it's so tough to figure out a good balance between altruism and self-interest in wishes. I'm surprised it's not a bigger storytelling trope actually lol.

    But without beating myself up too much, here goes:

    1. readily available, affordable, effective health care for everyone. (and I don't mean ACA hehe)

    2. the power to freeze and resume the flow of time, interact with things while frozen, and not age when the power is used. It all counts as one wish because it's a package deal.

    3. I'd probably wish for peaceful, hyper-advanced aliens to show themselves on earth and work together with us. It's impossible to say how incredible life will be if this ever happens.

    There was already another topic like this, but what the hell? I'll do it again!

    My 3 wishes still, as of typing this, haven't really changed, so:

    Immortality: So that I would have all the time in the world to learn all knowledge, to experience all things, and to bear witness to all events. I know, one of the disadvantageous to being immortal is the possibility of being imprisoned, or trapped somewhere, and never being able to escape. If possible, I'd ask for a fail safe escape clause, if I ever found myself in such a situation. I have just always wanted to learn as much as I can before I pass on, because I like to think, perhaps even believe, there is some storage of information that could, if utilized properly, contribute to making the world better than it currently is.

    Healing Factor: So that I would be able to avoid becoming sick, to avoid aging, and to avoid suffering any kind of consequence in my quest for knowledge. I like to think, if I could just bounce back from anything, I'd be more willing to conduct experiments on myself. Call it odd or even eerie, but if I had the ability to do so, then I would love to learn how the human body works. I would enjoy being able to heal and help others, with bodily fluids (sounds icky or even creepy, but hopefully the context here is understood) that allow me to stay healthy and fit; allowing them to be able to do the same. I know, one of the disadvantageous to possessing a healing factor, is the likelihood things and those around me would, eventually, succumb to death and leave me alone. This would repeat, over and over, and would probably contribute to some kind of psychological and emotional damage. However, if possible, being able to exchange my means of sustaining myself, would mean I could provide the means of prolonging anyone or thing (provided it was animate) I had come to care for, or find value with or in. Being able to alleviate such pain and frustrations as disease, to me, would be worth it.

    Free the Genie: I am going to assume that these wishes are being granted by a genie/djinn. If not, well, I'm not sure what I would use for my third wish. I have many potential ideas, but they're not as telling as, say, wishing, and releasing, the genie/djinn. I would want to free the genie/djinn, simply because, it feels right. Of course, I may be being a tad greedy here, but I like to assume, the genie/djinn would feel grateful enough to stick around. This way, I'd have myself a companion with almost unlimited power and unknowing experience, who would be a worthwhile contribution to my own quests and ambitions. Also, if the genie/djinn was up for it, perhaps they would grant some magical pleasures upon, and for, others, while we traveled the world.

    1. Be a boy! :grin:
    And keep the other two for some other things I might really need. The last one would probably involve freeing the poor genie.

    Readily available dandruff scabs when I need them. Yes, I know that last one is weird, but I be crazy. I have dermatillomania, you see, and real scabs would add up to blood loss. Dandruff scabs feel pretty close to real scabs, anyway.
