    But what if the kids who use jetpacks without helmets go on to cause more net harm? You know they would.

    So technically, wishing to cancel all wishes that cause any harm can cause more harm, and thus the wish cancels itself.

      This is a small one, but can you please make it so that all menu descriptions actually list all the major dish components so I'm never surprised by secret onions or mustard again?

      Edit: oh no I've been reading your monkey's paw responses.... You're gonna make restaurants disclose everything clearly but ensure that onions and mustard are in every dish from now on, aren't you?

        Everyone can now shape-shift into a perfect copy of any other person that they've seen. Society collapses due to lack of trust. (You said everyone can "now" and "this has always been". Hence, rewriting history was a second wish.)

        That's awesome. Humanity will eventually figure it out, but it'll be literally impossible to concentrate power.

          Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone's mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn't have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

          In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.

                  don't.

                  if you didn't think it worth the time to write it, why should i take the time to read it? surely it will be worthless.

                  i'm not here for the bots.

                        The fully grown Wyvern of Mordiford appears next to you, standing 20ft (6 meters) tall. It is friendly to you, but has a taste for human flesh.

                          Hello wise one,

                          I find the Earth's gravity of 9.80665m/s² a bit much. Sometimes my back hurts from standing too long, and the general weight of existence sits heavy on my shoulders.

                          Can you make it a bit more comfortable please. Maybe 9.80664?

                              90% of $100 is $90. So the tacos are $190, or $1.90 each. Still a solid deal.

                              I mean to say that the tacos were $100 (wish granted) but the economy then inflated and changed all the prices. Still, the tacos are available and we continue living in a society that uses dollars so it could be worse.

                                    Done. You now have a desire for your mortgage to be paid off. (Reading this comment, you feel the intensity of the feeling has increased ever so slightly.)
