You get one wish, but the genie always tries to curse it. What do you wish for? (lemmy.ml)

Oh, you want your interpretation where they have your exact same desires? Granted. That alternative version made the exact same wish you did. It's selfish all the way down, so there is no version where someone made a more concrete wish and you still get nothing.

You can't have it both ways. You can't have someone who is incredibly different but also exactly the same. It's a contradiction.

Oh, and your curse isn't what would happen. It's just a bad fanfic plot device.
