Default If you found a magic lamp, what would your three wishes be?

And none of those loophole wishes for more wishes. Just the three here. We’re dealing with a hardcore genie.

I'd wish to become a genie myself?

(the power to do things myself, as opposed to wish for them)

Otherwise on a more pedestrian level:

1. Wealth

2. Ability to time travel, at will. If I want to time travel to 1949 for the afternoon, and be back by dinner, then so be it. Then 1893 tomorrow, ...etc

3.To fully understand the UFO phenomenon, including detailed knowledge of extraterrestrial life forms, even if they have not been visiting here. The "who", the "where", and "why".

3 Wishes from Me

1. People WAKE UP and smell what is going on in the world.

2. My damaged body from surgery is Reversed...

3. My daughter's 2 issues be Reversed, Foot Damage Reversed and Hearing Restored...



That is IT...

Wealth, I've got it and it's not the money thing....

Three men are stuck on an island. One day, the three of them are walking along the beach and discover a magic lamp. They rub and rub, and sure enough, out pops a genie.

The genie says: “Since I can only grant three wishes, you may each have one.”

The first says: “I’ve been stuck here for years. I miss my family, my wife, and my life. I just want to go home.” Poof, he’s gone!

Then the second says: “I’ve been stuck here for years as well. I miss my friends, my dog, and my life. I wish I could go home too.” Poof, he’s gone!

The third man starts crying uncontrollably. The genie asks: “My dear fellow, what’s wrong?”

The man whimpers: “I wish my friends were still here.”

1. The ability to have infinite wisdom.
2. The ability to control the minds of others.
3. The ability to enter another body at my choosing. If I were to get bored with this one, then I can enter another one that is stronger than the last.

With these three wishes, the world will eventually become mine since I control everyone and see/know everything.

Would wishing to have magical powers like Samantha or Jeannie be ok, or would that be considered "more wishes"? I think in the Aladdin movie the rule was "no asking for more wishes", BUT the bad guy wished to be a powerful wizard, and that wish was granted.... It almost seems like that would fall into the category of "infinite wishes" he would just be able to grant them himself

But anyway, I always said if I found a genie I would just ask to be a magical Witch type being like Samantha

Hmmm your mentality sounds very similar to that of another man who lived back in the 1930s who had a funny little mustache

I used to wonder about wishing to bring dead people back to life.... At first I wanted to but then thought, if Heaven is real, what if they are in Heaven having the best time ever, then they are suddenly YANKED back to Earth? They might not be too happy about it lol

That's a good point! I know I'd be mad if I were in peaceful Heaven and were suddenly yanked back to Earth against my will!

But on the other hand, maybe the dead person ended up burning in Hell and would be relieved to be back on Earth and not burning anymore.

3. Hip hop and rap music were never invented.
