Why'd he do it?

>>151161909 (OP)
Honestly the way the average person treats Jinn makes me understand why so many have malicious wish granting

>>151161994
Based. I would have made him taller though

>>151161994
the joke is porn

If you met a genie and asked for your heart's desire to be granted, would that be a good thing for you?

>nuke india
>nuke india again
>nuke india a third time

>>151162042
Fuck my heart. I want my brain's desire to be granted. Last thing I need is another sentient organ.

>>151161994
People use it more as a joke in comic form, IRL nobody would be so petty as to waste a wish just to bring misfortune to the Djinn, I think. Even if the person is scum, It'd just be a waste of a wish.

>>151162042
I don't even know what that would be, to be honest.

>>151161994
Tbh most of them are trapped in these lamps by wizards who enslaved and discarded them later, so they’re going to be pissed off regardless, the wish is just there to show their last bit of gratitude to their savior before vengeance can begin

He wished for the genie to get tits then what? Become a woman? Why waste the first wish if the second would do it anyway?

>>151162481
I thought it was

>I wish you'd start a family with me

>I Dream of Jeanie.

That was a situation.

he probably would have made himself flat to troll him, gotta cover all your bases with genies

>>151162435
>trapped in these lamps by wizards
Sufis, typically.
They do all the crazy shit in Islamic lore.

>>151162515
And I Dream of Jeanie was a pretty blatant rip-off of Bewitched (which is basically I Dream of Jeannie but the guy marries a witch instead).

>>151162578
Jeanie and the guy do get married and have a child together.
Which is surprising consistent with classic Djinn lore.

Who would hate pregnancy...? That's how you and the love of your life make little you's. It's the cutest thing ever. And it's a pledge of selfless love to a small helpless version of yourself made up of you and the person you love and trust most in the world.

Like, come on. It's wholesome on a platter.

>>151161909 (OP)
he's an immortal genie, 40 years should be really short to him
plus at least he's out of the lamp so he gets to do something and have experiences and meet people
if he wanted to twist the wish, she didn't say "40 years straight" or "nonstop" so in theory he can take breaks and do other things every now and then, as long as he works 40 years worth of time then the wish is fulfilled

If the former, then that’s pretty cool because it means he effectively doesn’t need to breathe.
If the latter, then he has created a blood supply that can cure all Red Cross shortages across the planet, provided it is of the right type.

>>151161909 (OP)
The genie was likely in the lamp for thousands of years. Making him work a minimum wage job will allow him to make money and earn life skills like work ethic. If you just made him rich, he could blow through all of the money. Make him a CEO and he could ruin a company and everyone working there could get laid off. But making him flip burgers will allow him to appreciate every dollar, learn how to run a business, and learn how to deal with people.

All in all, I think its a good wish, one the genie would come to appreciate.

People wasting wishes to torment their genie for no reason is my favorite genre of humor.

>>151172740
I feel the same way, but when the genie is bothering people. It doesn't even have to be extreme torture, just something like

>Genie: You have three wishes
>Guy: I wish you couldn't count!
>Genie: Done. Oh, look at that, you're out of wishes! (vanishes)

Stuff like that's funny to me.

>>151172196
Thanks for the laugh anon

>>151162944
"endless" you say...

>>151162435
it's Arabian (jewish) folklore. it's fictional story uses religous roots.

King (prophet) solomn Punished one of his Djinn for disobeying him and impressioned forcing him to be a slave to who possess the Lamp.

however there are many other Djinns impressioned in relics, like Rings or Amulates. but the Djin of the Lamp was a powerful one.

However King Solomn hid the Lamp in place where only a person with good faith can get it. a person named Alladin (Ala al-Din = nobility of faith or praise the faith)

>>151172415
sounds like one bad ass mini series

>>151172196
this doesnt work.a wish can't be about not doing something. and retroaction is also out of the question because each wish is considered done when you move to the next. at best the last wish can change the consequence of a former wish, but it can't be ignored as in "never happened".

>>151161994
>>151168692
>>151168708
>original is funny
>edit is gay wholesome shit that reeks of loneliness

"Be careful what you wish for" is a dogshit moral because wishes aren't real and in the real world the most you can apply this moral to is cases where you should be more specific about something but that's just general advice, it's not profound or a deep moral. It's just advice on how to communicate.

>>151171449
Adorable. I sure wish I could find a woman that felt that way irl

>>151173907
It's basically a combo of think before you act and appreciate what you have.

>>151168692
why is he leaving after the wish(obv. to make Genie willfully commit but let's ignore that for now)
if his act was selfless free the genie then he would not have wasted two wishes on the bimbobod beforehand
if his motivation was lust and companionship then he would not be leaving

nvm Imm retarded and I'm confusing it with parts of the original

>>151168477
That's how you get a woman that'll kill you in your sleep.

>>151172415
>and meet people
a few hours dealing with people in retail would probably make him wish he was still in the lamp

>>151162476
but they CAN shapeshift. you do the math.

This post made me realize I can't tell the difference between someone being corny and a GPT gen

>>151173974
>if his motivation was lust and companionship then he would not be leaving
he got to fuck his fetish until got bored but forgot the bimbo is still a super powerful genie and surprisingly it turns out he likes dominant women
it's a unexpectedly wholesome power reversal

>>151172415
on most genie stories, the genie isn't aware of the time while inside the lamp. A thousand years of solitude is nothing. Thus having to work a shit job for 40 years is literal hell for him. To him that would feel like a million years to us

>>151176206

>fucking really, nigga?
But locking the genie up seems a bit harsh. Surely there could be a more amenable solution? For example, wishing for the genie's power to be reduced such that he can't fulfill dangerous wishes, or make him wander the world and enjoy it in the guise of a human, rather than a genie so he wouldn't have to grant wishes.

>>151162435
This is always why I hated genies.
>absolute omnipotence
Exactly. Why wouldn't you wish for that? I get it's a joke and all that, but I've always wanted to see a comic/graphic novel where this happens.

>>151176206
Lol a wise wish

>>151176206
"I wish that you are entirely under my control, can not break free or do anything I do not wish, consciously or unconsciously"

Just do that, fucker can't do anything dangerous then, because somebody coming in and thinking it's a drink will get the genie.

He's a genie. He HAS to do it.

>>151176206
Damn I take my words back lmao

Though I guess in this case it was still sort of a waste of a wish, he could've:
>asked for 2 things and then on the third do what he did
>asked for 2 things and then wish that the genie is no longer able to cause harm to people

>>151173846
>but it can't be ignored as in "never happened"
At best I'd say it would set you back to before you made the wish, but also still counting it as a used wish.

>>151176206

What's your fav genie design, /co/?

>>151176206
The art looks like Angus McBride/Frank Frazetta worked on it, it's excellent. What's the source?

>>151176434
treating genies as omnipotent is really stupid, they should at most be capable of limited, circumstantial reality warping. stuff like granting material gain or amazing human talents or magical items/personal magic powers, causing natural disaster, setting curses, teleportation, limited time travel that does not cause paradoxes or alteration of grand historical events, manipulating circumstance, etc. I.e a genie shouldn't be able to blow up the world, alter the universal laws of physics, remove religions from history, alter all of mankind, grant omnipotence or infinite genies, infringe on the powers of God, etc. It's a spirit, not the fucking creator of the universe, if they were so powerful all of history would just be the consequences of various wishes, and in any case it posits the question of how this omnipotent magical entity was set to the task of letting idiots wish for bigger dicks. Did a wizard trap an omnipotent being or did he make something that could grant any wish?

>>151177719
>What's the source?
The Mercenary by Vicente Segrelles

>can't wish for more genies
okay, i wish for a plot of land. more specifically, a plot of land inhabited by worms that when used as bait always catch a magical talking fish that will be so grateful to me for letting him go that he'll grant me wishes three

>>151176421
>Surely there could be a more amenable solution?
Nah, fuck that city-wrecking cunt.

>>151176206
Isn't that just kicking the problem down the road? The next guy that opens the bottle is unlikely to be as scrupulous.
You should wish the genie powerless or something instead. Maybe wish all genies powerless if it can manage it.

>>151172368
I requested that, based on >>151177400

>>151178297
Being an adventurer putting his life on the line, he knows how to find reliable solutions. The genie was already stuck in the lamp for 753 years once, it's safe to say it'll hold him again. Otherwise you'll wish for him to not grant wishes any more or something and suddenly he's without any weaknesses and becomes an evil tyrant-god. Just take the lamp and bury it 10 meters deep in a unremarkable spot in the wilderness and it'll keep him for millennia.

It's Pandyland actually. Long defunct now.

>>151162042
my hearty's desire is to literally become god

I've always wondered, wouldn't the optimal first wish to be "I wish that you were freed after my next two wishes"? That way you get on the genie's good side before he grants the other two, it shows him that you genuinely intend to free him because you basically already have. Or are genies just so intrinsically assholes that you'd have to deal with their tricky wording no matter what?

>>151178670
In the original folklore it depends entirely on the genie in question, since the genies have as much free will and as varied personalities as humans do. It's not a cut and dry rule.

>>151178670
>Or are genies just so intrinsically assholes that you'd have to deal with their tricky wording no matter what?
I guess that depends. Like with many folklore beings, there are stories with djinns that genuinely just hate humanity as a whole, and probably would still fuck you over, and just consider you a trusting idiot.
Or like with some elves where they might let you go if you genuinely help them in the moment, but would absolutely kill you if they ever saw you again.

>>151178693
>>151178754
Well shit. I guess I'd still make that my first wish no matter what then, in the event that I got an asshole genie it wouldn't change much but in the event that I got a bro genie he'd probably be thankful. Just seems like the smartest opening move to me, better to at least try to show the genie you genuinely mean to free him.

>>151178808
It certainly wouldn't hurt.

>>151171353
Imagine what a fantastically interesting and advanced culture the Arabs could have been if not for the muslim menace with their dogmatic anti-science and censorship.

>>151175162
Pretty sure he did. He just wasn't as powerful.

>>151176206
Surely there are better ways to avoid him being dangerous. Like wish for him to be unable to hurt people not fulfill wishes that would make him able to hurt people again. He's obviously living in a world of magic, dowsers who could find anything hidden must also exist.

>>151178670
>>151178693
>>151178754
It should be "I wish that you were freed after my next two wishes and remain free as long as I remain pleased with how our encounter turned out". That way you both reward the genie and keep him from wreaking havoc.
