    I have a game with friends where one is the Genie, and one the Wisher. The purpose of the game is for the Wisher to make a perfectly unalterable and positive wish, while the Genie's role is to twist it. The Wisher wins if the Genie fails to find a way to twist the wish. It is surprisingly fun and a difficult exercice.

    Are there more tests done with this SCP? I feel there is potential for additional tests to get interesting results like:
    - A very articulated, well made and super specific wish
    - Repeat the same wish twice to check if you get the same results
    - Wish on behalf of someone else
    - Wish for a specific SPC to Die or disappear (maybe is an effective way to get rid of SCPs that are hard to kill?)
    - Wish for the genie to tell more about himself
    - Wish for the genie to be nice and caring
    - Wish to become a genie
    - etc etc.

    Thats the point. The theme is
    “ be careful what you wish for”
    You could wish for immortality and you could get a box named immorality in return in which anything put inside is immortal 😂
    You could wish for super powers like super speed and the genie will turn you into light,
    fulfilling your wish and effectively killing you in the process. You could wish for love and the genie might give you a second heart.

      I thought of something like placing a big rock on the floor in the test chamber. Then tell the genie to turn that rock into the metal element gold. However, it seems to me that this guy has no real interest in improving anyone's life. Thus I wonder, even if you were to write 4 paragraphs of explanation it still wouldn't matter.

      I thought about the Immortality wish and thought: "This is probably pretty fool-proof."
      Until I realised that it might not stop the body ageing but simply make you unable to die.
      So you'd end up a skeleton, unable to move, unable to scream and even if the Foundation tried to end your suffering, you'd be unable to die.

    "I wish to have one American dollar"

    "I wish to have one American dollar that will not harm me physically, emotionally, or in any other way"
    Genie gives a dollar that makes everyone in the room except for me drop dead.
    "I wish to have one American dollar that will not harm *_anyone_* physically, emotionally, or in any other way"
    Genie gives a dollar, that turns to dust in seconds.
    "I wish to have one non anomalous American dollar that will not harm anyone physically, emotionally, or in any other way, that lasts as long as any other"
    I get a dollar that lasts, finally. Later I check my bank account. Balance? Empty. The Genie literally made me have 1 dollar to my name and only 1.
    "I wish to gain one non anomalous American dollar that will not harm anyone physically, emotionally, or in any other way, that lasts as long as any other and will not effect my current net worth"
    Nothing happens. It must not be giving me the money immediately.
    "I wish to *_immediately_* gain one non anomalous American dollar that will not harm anyone physically, emotionally, or in any other way, that lasts as long as any other and will not effect my current net worth"
    And I bet the genie will continue to have some stupid loophole.

And by adjusting the weights you can adjust how much down to Earth she is. Or attach a drone to her, and now she can literally fly.

    11:00 That sounds extremely useful for tracking living creatures though. 12:30 is useful for translating dead languages or untranslated runes or languages. I swear SCP researchers are completely uncreative in their tests or experiments. Using a lawyer to write up the wish would be best, with a written statement the individual reads from after practicing several hundred times with marbles in their mouth and keeping away from the genie to minimize the effect. Surgery could be done on the lower section of the tongue to prevent cramping or shortening. Or how about using a recording to broadcast the request? There's a lot of options for experiments. They tested simple wishes, but no complex or detailed ones.

    I think the Lead Researcher us kinda dumb. When the D-class is unaffected by gravity, just make a suit that has very small rockets on different parts of the body and because the person is not affected by gravity, they cal fly very fast with little work on the suit's behalf because they don't need huge rockets to keep the person from plummeting to the ground. Being unaffected by gravity is insanely useful.
    Also, instead of making requests more vague, he should make them very very precise so there is no possible way for the genie to actually mess it up other than ignoring part of the person's wish.
