But you can. Just buy yourself a Burger King first. American kind of freedom...

Coincidently I watched the X-Files episode a few weeks back.
I loved it!
It is one of their more dark comedy ones with some philosophical topics.
No "true wish" at the end, as far I remember, but a nice twist and imo quite satisfying ending.

Whatever it is that happens, it would be pretty violent.
"What If" had a slightly different, more localized but more concentrated premise it covered once:
Electron Moon

Quote:
"This is, by far, the most destructive What-If scenario to date."

As a guy taking the "Great Filter" hypothesis seriously, I would definitely switch the captions in the meme.

Considering how intentionally malecious the side effects of typical genie-wishes tend to be, the extra electron probably comes to rest in the wishers hypophysis and causes a free radical that leads to a rare sort of cancer that prevents the wisher from falling asleep ever again, so he dies in madness scratching out his own eyes.
0r something similar along that line.

Well I guess, Quark may get you some much more interesting stuff than that...

ls this some kind of problem at all?
I mean, it is not wishing to add an electron to each atom in the Universe...

Get out as fast as I can, considering how often stuff goes terribly wrong on one of those...

Okay, thanks!

euphemism for doing something shady

I assumed something along the line that he was taking care of, ie. completing something nasty, that Columbus started 500 years earlier.

So classical overthinking. :-)
