Monkey's paw moment: Simply wish for unlimited wishes

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wish granted! Bam, you can now wish anything, as many times as you want, and it won't be any different!

Except you missed the point.

They asked for the instruction as their third wish. They don't have any wishes left to wish for more.

Only the post is about asking questions to the devil, not asking for wishes. Which would make no difference in the end, you can make all the wishes you want, there was never anything about making any of them coming true.
