Genie - it’s always 3 wishes clearly the genie misspoke
Dumbass.
I am entitled to infinite wishes.
Shit, I argued with you.
he’s doing his best ok 🧞♂️
I argue with the genie that they actually promised to grant me infinite wishes
Lotto cashier. “I’m definitely going to hit the jackpot on this one, ya big dummy.”
Wow. You’re good at this.
I’m going to use my wish to talk you into hiring me as your personal driver for like a year, so I can learn your wisdom.
That’s so well played.
Jokes on you, I’d probably enjoy that so I wouldn’t argue. Especially if I’m crazy rich, what else would I have to do?
My father, and the argument would be about his political views. Radicalized years ago but the taking heads on Fox.
I miss my dad. 😔
Gosh. I’m sorry. My dad passed five or six years ago. I hope you are able to connect with yours while you have time
Donald Trump.
The universe would break because it’s the equivalent of winning a chess match against a pigeon who does nothing but shit all over the board
It’s a monkey paw of an outcome.
You win the argument; but it does not change his mind on the subject. 😬
Depends on what you’re arguing about. I mean, you could say “that hamburger will kill you” and he’ll eat it to spite you.
The genie that I have infinite wishes obviously
I argue that American Conservatives should all commit suicide with Trump on Truth Social.
Horseshoe theory in action here.
Wishing death on 150+ million people because of their political beliefs doesn’t make you righteous. You’ve looped all the way around to becoming the exact thing you claim to oppose.
That’s something I can stand behind
I don’t care who I’ll be arguing with, but the disagreement will center on the hour and manner of Trump’s inevitable demise.
I’m thinking a trauma-induced stroke, caused when JD Vance has a sudden epileptic fit and bites off Donny Jr. in the Lincoln bedroom.
Maybe myself (as an experiment), or the genie about if I should get more wishes or something. Wasting universe-altering magic on convincing one person seems like a waste.
Edit: To be more clear about the self argument:
You can do a lot of funny stuff with logical constructs. If you say “exclusively, [wish] or this statement is false” it’s a paradox unless the wish is true. If I argue with someone else, them misunderstanding could count as a victory, but if I’m on both sides that’s a bit harder. It’s possible I just die or explode or something, but maybe it will actually work, too.
You can get way more sophisticated with that, and probably should if you only get one shot. Godel’s incompleteness theorem is a famous example of that kind of tortured self-reference. Magical evaluation of a single arbitrary statement is just way more OP than it may seem at first.
What does winning mean in this case? That every single person watching that debate concludes that I was right and the other person was wrong? What about if I’m objectively wrong? Do I still win?
Genie gives you the ability to argue perfectly, and no matter how good your opponent is they will not be able to beat you
You just used your wish arguing with the genie…
IF by winning you mean that everyone listening agrees with me, then I’ll take on anyone on Fox News.
I should be given uncontested control of the world’s resources for 1 year.
My opponent: the mother Gaia.
tremble
Yeah, this really depends on what you meant by winning here. Are we actually changing the other person’s mind or do they admit we are right, but still believe otherwise? Are people who witness the argument included? Do people continue to agree indefinitely? Does it change reality to match?
The genie has already departed and cannot answer any questions 🧞♂️
Definitively? Like everyone agrees I won the argument and it causes anyone who witnessed it to rethink their stance on the topic and actually fucking change the way they think and behave? An occurrence so rare I’d might as well play the lottery?
If that were true… I guess I’d argue Donald Trump about addressing and curbing Climate Change…and second choice would be arguing Elon Musk on the merits of developing actual empathy.
Genie wishes…pipe dreams in a lamp, lol. Anyways, thanks for inducing a small indulgence in some fantasy.
I think you would have to argue with quite a few people to even get access to trump.
Unless social media counts.
The OP’s what if scenario is already well outside the realm of potential reality, might as well go hard into the imagination space.
Oh these are good
[Dictator’s name] Orbán/Trump/Xi/etc…
On TV
And the argument is about them not being able to rule the country
