A psychopath getting 3 wishes from a genie would be a great horror movie.

I liked the one a while ago about making every blind person able to see again for exactly 6 hours before they go blind again

That sounded just viciously cruel

I'd just let them see, but make them temporarily go blind every time they'd be about to see something they care about, or are in a dangerous situation where being able to see would be useful.

Christ. You guys are insane. I mean, I love it but hoo-boy ...

Similarly, people who can’t walk can for a week. Just enough time to get moving again and may be get to a physio therapy session. Really get the hope in full swing

I think people will figure something out when they begin to study the magical limb disappearing event and they find out you're the only person alive who was unaffected.

3rd wish: no one ever will figure out i was the reason for the limb disappearance

People will have to rationalize your existence somehow. Being unable to ignore that you're the one person left on the planet with 4 limbs, everyone you meet now immediately labels you a freak and you find yourself ousted from society.

Or they just blank every conversation you have with them from their memory. Meeting people would be like meeting them for the first time. That's some monkey paw.

The second wish could make forward by "however one in 1.3 million people don't randomly instantly lose a limb, instead they lose theirs randomly over time" that's enough of a cushion where you wouldn't be too weird.

I am sure the mystery of disappearing limbs will FAR overtake the one person who wasn't affected. Worldwide panic and who knows what else. You could also wish 99% of people lose a random limb, and that would mean 70 million people would still have all their limbs.

It might not be obvious, depending on what counts as a "limb". Plus maybe OP already is missing one?

I mean, it'd still be a more accurate Death Note adaptation than what Netflix made, to be honest.

People who have to get a limb amputated and the right one gets randomly deleted: "Noice!"

Wish 1: All humans are sterile.

Wish 2: All humans are immortal.

Wish 3: All humans are furries.

Now just sit back and enjoy the chaos.

The title and post kinda make me think of those 1-2 sentence horror stories.

"With tears in his eyes, the genie looks at me as he grants my third and final wish. There was nothing he could do to stop it."

I would wish for the ability to grant wishes for myself and others of my choosing

I could then grant myself any ability I wanted qnd essentially become a god

I would wish for everyone except me, to think of poop everytime they eat. 😈
