You Have found a genie that grants 3 wishes! What are your wishes, how do you avoid loopholes or "the monkeys paw"? (lemmy.ca)

Lets assume that genies grant wishes literally, but will twist your words. How do you wish without unintended consequences? Typical rules of no more wishes, no resurrection, no forced love, no altering the past, can't defy logic, can't break physical laws, can't create paradoxes, and can't affect higher powers (this is one tough genie!).

Genie graciously grants all 3 wishes but now you're out of wishes. The genie does appreciate being able to snoop on your thoughts though!

Maybe the genie will spend less time snooping in your thoughts....shivers a bit
