For those who don’t know, a Monkey Paw Wish is when you get your wish granted, but in an unexpected usually negative way.

Example:

  1. I wish human caused global warming would stop.
  2. It does, but because WW3 leads to Nuclear Winter.

The question here though, is what wish would you be willing to take even though it’ll get monkey paw’d?

So basically you don’t care if the consequences, or would be willing to take the sacrifice for it.

Others can come up with the negative scenarios if they want and the original wisher can decide if it’s still worth it

    Granted, but right after you get the wish to wish 3 times from a perfect genie, you get a heart attack and die before you can make additional wishes. The monkey paw is then found by the person you were closest too, and a finger on the paw curls…

    Edit: Alt: you get the heart attack and are taken unconscious to the hospital, and someone else gets your perfect genie and steals your idea. Except this person is extremely malicious and makes wishes that makes life for everyone on earth terrible.

      I’ve accounted for that ! If you read my wish it says that I wish to wish three time from the genie, thus for my wish to be granted I have to be able to wish three times.
