But why didn't the number of wishes decrement?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because the genie agreed and didn't think of it as a chore to do in any way.

That's not really much of a joke. It pretty well invalidates the core concept.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't, it emphazes it and makes it a joke.

Genie: I will do any 3 things for you

Person: eliminate Capitalists

Genie: I'll give it to you for free, fuck the bourgeoisie

There's the joke.

I agree with the sentiment, but it's not really funny.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago

That's your right. I disagree, it's pretty funny.
