    I want my best friend alive again, and the cancer to be gone. He can have the third.

      Reduce atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels

      “SEE! We told you the problem would fix itself! Now we don’t need to take any action to better ourselves for the sake of the environment!”

      Luckily you thought of that and using your third wish, you can fix it properly.

      You are later crushed by your cool rock. Not because of a monkey paw but everybody else is so mad they drop it on you.

        don’t forget to make your first wish “if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices”

        since we’re supposed to not be dealing with a monkey paw/genie situation, i didn’t use it this way, but in general I’d recommend making it your first wish under any such circumstances.

        rephrase as necessary to further weed out possible loopholes.

    1 - safety plan from other poster “if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices”
    2 - maine plan - everyone wakes up to find out we are in a simulation and the real world is a post scarcity start trek like society but with total peace and harmony and none of the fighting
    3 - backup plan - my own personal universe/dimension where I control all aspects of it and can enter it and leave it whenever I want. It exists outside of our time/space so when I enter and leave I can go anywhere within either as a destination

        Not even necessary, with omnipotence you can do that youself. But a little mystery in life would still be fun, no?
