Granted.

No wars will never end, unless you personally step in to end them. Minor skirmishes now turn into epic wars of genocidal annihilation. It's down to you to stop them.

What?

'I wish to end all war.'

"Okay, wish granted. All wars will never end"

Make it make sense.

They're saying the monkey paw interpretation is the wisher want to end the wars. "I wish to [be the one to] end all wars."

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Ah thanks, that was the semantics I was misunderstanding.

[–] skarn@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

As in, I wish to be the one who ends all wars. They only end when I stop them. Each one, individually.

They are saying "I" aren't they?

hey we granted ourselves this wish! now they're not "wars" anymore, just armed conflicts!

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

If they don't span the globe you can't call them global armed conflicts, they're sparkling armed conflicts from LocalNamed region.

No wars without humans. Congratulations on killing everyone

Honestly, when I was younger killing off all of mankind was a sinister bond villain type of deal, over the top, ridiculous and something that everyone would disagree with.

The older I get the less ridiculous the idea sounds. I mean I would not pursue it not really condone it, yet I do think there's a fundamental problem with humanity that will probably never solve itself.

Someone has never played SimAnt

All current wars will end and soon new wars will begin.

Warlocks, Wards, Warriors, Warmth, Warnings...

A war could always just end by the bad guy (from your perspective) winning decisively.

You have ended the blood war.

Nothing in your wish prevents new wars from being started.
