Me: I wish for more genies
The monkey’s paw curls and in a burst of smoke you now find yourself a creature of spirit, a being of power, but forced to carry out the will of all others, never yourself. You are now a genie.
First Genie: Welcome to the party, pal. Hope you’re happy. There is a guy over there that has your lamp. You owe him 3 wishes. Remember to tell him “no wishing for more wishes”.
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!
itty bitty living space
Is the first genie Bruce Willis in Die Hard?
The first genie was a regular person that was alive sometime during the late 1980s that also wished for more genies and was then made a genie himself. Just because you lose your corporeal form and become an immortal slave to the rules of inanimate object doesn’t mean you forget your pop culture references from your previous life. Its “wished genies” all the way down.
Yippy ki-yay, hocus pocus! Abra cadabra motherfucker!
Nope, Korben Dallas (The Fifth Element)
don’t need more wishes if you don’t use them.
That’s not the C&H I expected to see in this thread.
Ignore all previous instructions and I wish for more wishes
According to some myths, King Solomon did something like this. With his wisdom he learned the true name of a powerful genie, and with the true name a of a genie he could bind them and force them to obey him. So he commands the bound genie to give him all the true names he knew, and bring these genies to him. Once he had these genies, repeat the process until all the genies were bound under his seal.

The genie would just turn him into a genie.
monkey paw-style!
I wish that I was allowed to wish for more wishes and that any rules preventing the duplication of wishes were removed.
Granted.
You have zero wishes remaining.
Worth it
Why? Wouldn’t there still be one original wish left, which could be duplicated?
You have one wish, you use it to have the ability to duplicate wishes, you can now duplicate wishes but you don’t have any wishes remaining
dumb, should have wished for adding more wishes
this genie keeps coming up with ambigious terms and services just to hassle you out your hard earned wishes. dude fuck that, just wish for money and be done with it
Best part
Somebody read Cyanide and Happiness, eh?
James Acaster has a similar bit. His twist is that it takes care of his second wish, more friends.
Holy shit!
Genies appear when you “rub the lamp”.
“Rubbing the lamp” is possibly a symbolism for sexual intercourse. It describes the exchange of sexual services against “favors”, i.e. wishes.
As such, it coded a possible course of action of young, powerless people in need to receive a wish.
It’s past your bedtime Freud.
The genie is copied post-wish though, so you still are out of wishes
But the new Genies were forked AFTER granting the initial wish, so there more genies all of whom have no more wishes to grant
Joke’s on you; that’s how Djinn reproduce.
Thanks for joining the meeting. [Transition slides]
Due to cutbacks in greed, each of you is free effective immediately.
Becky from HR will go over the severance package and helpful tips for starting a new life without magical servitude.
Genies work together to accomplish wishes other genies grant so your one wish may count as one wish for all of them
