You've left the geanie so much room for interpretation, for example:

  • Take 30 seconds to do the task of giving all blind people eyesight.
  • You didn't say when these 30 seconds happen. Could be all at once now, but could also be everyone at their last 30 seconds to live.
  • "Eyesight" could mean that there are eyes sighting the blind one. So there's just someone around that looks at the blind person.
  • You didn't say that the people have to be alive. So now, they become zombies for 30 seconds. This means somewhere where there's a living human next to a dead blind human, the living one gets bitten, and the zombie disease can spread.

All blind people have sight for 30 seconds while they’re asleep

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 4 months ago

30 consecutive seconds or could it be 1 second, x30?

Doesn't say the quality of the eyesight, it could be just barely above the legal definition of blindness

[-] LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Not to mention it doesn’t say only 30 seconds so if all blind peoples eyesight is restored for at least 30 seconds then the genie could just restore it forever.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

Or who's eyesight it gives.

Each blind person gets horrifying deep sea fish eyesight or the eyesight of someone committing murder and now they all are thought to be hallucinating.

Last point: You now have corrupted blood. Teleports back to Org

[-] LazerFX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

LOL! Blast from the past... Dead n00bs scattered everywhere.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

Ooh, I didn't see zombies as a possible outcome

What are the three wishes that would cause untold amounts of mental damage to marginalised people without death or permanent changes to their daily life?

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Make only the next high feel like it's the first one again, without overdosing.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 4 months ago

I don't think you can do this without causing some deaths and changes.

[-] nomugisan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

Give all trans people the bodies they want for 30 mins

[-] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 4 months ago

Or just change everyone. Then you have people who never even realized they were

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 4 months ago

Living in a country with a fascist government ?

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 15 points 4 months ago

OP: I knew what I was wishing for...

Bastard.

[-] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

Jokes on you, I give all blind people 30 seconds of sight once in their life at the single most useful moment. Blind people worldwide regain their sight just in time to avoid accidents, to see their loved ones right before they die, or to save their children from danger.

[-] Lightfire228@pawb.social 14 points 4 months ago

If they've been blind since birth, then their brain might not be capable of processing this completely new stimulus fast enough

It'd be the equivalent of us being able to "see" magnetic flux using our nipples, for 30 seconds

[-] HertzDentalBar 9 points 4 months ago

While I might not be able to see the magnetic flux, I do certainly feel it with my nipples.

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Except they might not understand what they see. As a kid I asked a legally blind buddy what he would do if he suddenly could see clearly and he said “probably freak out. Im used to my vision as it is now I don’t know how to do anything as a ‘normal person’”.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Nah gotta make it 30 minutes. That's the true evil.

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 6 points 4 months ago

30 days...just enough to get tests and start to change their life.

[-] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

Why did I think this site was gonna be better than reddit? Yikes.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 22 points 4 months ago

What if we wished to bring back officially 3rd party apps for Reddit only for 30 seconds, would that be a better meme?

[-] PyroNeurosis 10 points 4 months ago

This is to make sure they are not overwhelmed an hour later when the next wish restores their sight permanently.

[-] sga@lemmings.world 8 points 4 months ago

Devil: I must say I am a big fan

[-] Gastel@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

This is actually very clever. If they lose their sight again after 30 seconds then that is on the Genie's head. You didn't say for "only" 30 seconds.

[-] Walk_blesseD 2 points 4 months ago

Bro really got the whole squad laughing with that one:

😐😐😐😐

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

"Granted."

All blind people get eyesight for 30 seconds at different times while they're asleep
