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.
@@DeMoraJS Obvious favorable outcome, yes. There are three rules for the wishes: "No altering the past (no paradoxes) ; No altering the state of life (can't kill or resurrect) ; No altering freewill (can't force sentient beings to do or think something)".
@@DeMoraJS A classic is "I wish to be rich"; the Djinni can teleport all the gold from bank safes to his home, so technically he'll be rich, but unable to spend the money because gold must be sold first, but since all the police is looking after the gold, it will be a difficult task. Or you can make the whole economy collapse, so he's technically rich, but inflation will explode. Many possibilities to corrupt a wish.

I’ve never understood why in genie stories where the characters know that the genie will purposely misinterpret what they say why they don’t write up an exact contract stating what they want in the most precise and matter of fact manner possible
YESSSS LIKE SAY "I want a suitcase that appears from nowhere on the floor in front of me, in this room, filled with 5 million intact and usable USD, in 100 Dollar bills, all which will be available for me to pick up and use with other people, with it not causing harm in any manner to me or others.
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.

It's not culture specific, as even in Arabic myths, where genie myths originated from, they've ALWAYS behaved like that. Look into genies in other cultures & you'll find most of them behave like assholes.
@@mrsheldon9134 I mean, it would require specific wording. "I wish you would be more like the Robin Williams portrayal of a Genie like in Disney's Aladdin, more friendly and more aware of the context of the wish being made by someone, and not so maliciously literal."

I wonder how effective that would even be: "Genie, I wish you'd stop being such an asshole" being taken extremely literally, I would imagine probably resulting in the person making the wish no longer having an asshole.
I mean... this could provide extremely useful. Say, the guy reading minds, from now on, they maybe could translate any text, even form anomalous sources, like alien languages, by just bringing him in and making him read text written on some other D-class's forehead.

I love the idea of the traditional genie lamp story but using some modern lamp and it being way in the past so they see the lamp and just have absolutely no clue wtf it is lol
This kind of reminds me of Fairly Odd Parents, where a Genie gave misinterpreted wishes to Timmy similar to this SCP. The only way Timmy was able to deal with said Genie is by hiring a lawyer-fairy to properly grant his wish through a contract.
Some of those abilities can be useful in other ways than intended. If a guy has the ability to understand ANY writing that's on a person's head, it could be very useful for translating unknown languages or text from other SCP's by just tattooing the unknown text onto another D-class's head.
Zero Gravity Woman probably got off best. She'll have to exercise a lot to make up for the muscle lack of use, but just a few cans of aerosol or such to spray means she can effectively fly...indoors.

Whoever wrote this SCP wasn't very imaginative, because the d-class woman who got anti-gravity is actually super useful. You only have to give her weighted clothes and you have a super lightweight person who can jump unnaturally high, drop from great heights without injury and run really fast. 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.
I feel like one person out of many being written in a way you disagree with isn't fair to call the author(s) unimaginative. To get this far they required enough imagination.

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.
@@theomaid "Granted, but you have no control of the power and it only activates arbitrarily once every million years and affects a random person, animal, or object on earth named Simon"
"I wish to have one American dollar" Genie gives a dollar that blows up in my hand. "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.
how about "I wish to obtain an american dollar with all the properties I intend it to have and no other property"? That way the genie is forced to act upon your intent, not just your sentence. in fact thats the best way to form a wish i think: force your actual intent to be a parameter of the wish.
Easy mystery! The lamp, itself, is the entity. The genie is just a trapped victim that probably wished to have magic or grant wishes or be a genie. Then, the lamp made that guy into an eternal avatar
It doesn't consider those wishes and will weasel out of saying anything useful about itself. This thing goes out of its way to make you regret interacting with it.
@sayanbiswasfuoff "Granted, here you go. However, I won't tell you how the book is activated, and it is by an extremely arbitrary and stupid method that you will never figure out on your own, and even if you do it is nigh impossible to achieve"
Im surprised the genie isnt eating the lamp. In all seriousness i love your content. I also understand its probably easier/cheaper to use the same format for thumbnails but i do love the unique thumbnails.
I feel like they would want to observe the genie for as long as they could, so if he disappears immediately after a wish, what happens if you just stand there and say nothing?
Why haven't they tried asking for a wish that's more detailed. like instead of asking "make me rich" ask "I want 28 milllion dollars to appear in my bank account tomorrow at exactly 12:00 am"
*The genie about to grant the wish but with a twist* My 20 person lawyer team about to write up a 100 page demand that can not be twisted any other way:
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Speaking of wishes, you know what I never understood? Genies! They tell you to wish for anything you want, and then they add some terrible twist. Like you wish to jump high so he turns you into a frog. What? Why? Who gains from this? The genie? Where’s the benefit? You should be fighting genies, man, not me. I’m not the problem. Genies. Genies are the problem.
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.
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.
Wow you are at over a million subs. I remember you commenting on a video from one the other scp channels advertising your channel and you were under a 100 subs. Your channel blew up man.
Imagine working at the foundation, be somewhere, got a coffee, working on your computer - only to suddenly go in labor and birth a child that is some random D-Class. That'd hit different.
I’d say just say one word it will never mis interpret mastery meaning that your in control and have mastered what you wish the genie can’t fuck with you or mess you up even if it was literal you can’t be harmed you will always be in control nothing forced and it doesn’t have risks imagine being in information technology or a doctor can’t mess it up it will only help you lmao.

3 things to attempt to use this scp 1) fully write down your wish (with conditions to account for shenanigans) prior to engaging with the scp. If possible have him fulfill the written wish without having to vocalise it. 2) request the genie fulfill the request you always wanted exactly to the specifications as preferred by the wishmaker. 3) wish for the Genie, to either change its personality and responses to grant wishes to the person requesting it and their specifications as yearned for instead of vocalized. Or request a similar genie, that has safeguards to protect the individuals making wishes so that they won't have their vocalise wish misinterpreted at the genie's behest. Personally, I've always been astounded this has never been attempted given how many "Monkey Paw"-ish stories

Whoever wrote this SCP wasn't very imaginative, because the d-class woman who got anti-gravity is actually super useful. You only have to give her weighted clothes and you have a super lightweight person who can jump unnaturally high, drop from great heights without injury and run really fast. 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.
Thing is, Rick and Marty covered this with Jerry in a sense and all it would take is a failure to make this fatal.
Just send her to my hero academy she'll work it out

I feel like one person out of many being written in a way you disagree with isn't fair to call the author(s) unimaginative. To get this far they required enough imagination.
@@TrueLadyEvilChanFool
Bob blessing us with another video. It feels like forever since I watched your second video as it came out🙏 I’ll keep watching as long as you want to keep going
The researcher after the first D-class made a mistake
Researcher "great now we got someone who can say what crapped where who's damn idea was it to send that one in unprepared"
My dude just wanted to find love and be loved and the genie just out right killed him 😅
That's why you should be careful for what you wished for and the guy wasn't being specific enough on what he wanted.😂
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.
@Aedrion- However it has to happen. I wish for the power to keep Simon safe 😊
@@theomaid "Granted, but you have no control of the power and it only activates arbitrarily once every million years and affects a random person, animal, or object on earth named Simon"
I knew that there's gonna be a genie SCP somewhere in the files. Looks like this SCP is that.
SCP-1481
"I wish to have one American dollar"
Genie gives a dollar that blows up in my hand.
"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.
>last sentence
>gives you one continental dollar from the US revolution.
@@omegaultramax if it’s not a replica then that continental dollar is worth a lot
@@spaceengineeringempire4086 replica (its just a slip of paper with the art of the continental dollar on it)
how about "I wish to obtain an american dollar with all the properties I intend it to have and no other property"? That way the genie is forced to act upon your intent, not just your sentence. in fact thats the best way to form a wish i think: force your actual intent to be a parameter of the wish.
@@thorveim1174 Interpreted as the letter i's interpretation. That being nothing, since the letter i is an inanimate object at most.
Easy mystery!
The lamp, itself, is the entity. The genie is just a trapped victim that probably wished to have magic or grant wishes or be a genie. Then, the lamp made that guy into an eternal avatar
The junior researcher should have asked the genie to make him beautiful. I can't see how that can go wrong.
You know what's beautiful? Butterflies.
Watch out for spider webs.
Or it turns him into a statue or a painting or a flower or something.

i love this genie
"uh hey man"
*scarecrow*
The Jontron reference really got me good.
Has no one ever used their wish to ask the genie to "explain yourself"?
*[ Defines the word "yourself." ]*
@@thestickmansavioryt1941
Curses! Lol
It doesn't consider those wishes and will weasel out of saying anything useful about itself. This thing goes out of its way to make you regret interacting with it.
@sayanbiswasfuoff Most likely probably turns you into a sketchbook.
@sayanbiswasfuoff "Granted, here you go. However, I won't tell you how the book is activated, and it is by an extremely arbitrary and stupid method that you will never figure out on your own, and even if you do it is nigh impossible to achieve"
Im surprised the genie isnt eating the lamp. In all seriousness i love your content. I also understand its probably easier/cheaper to use the same format for thumbnails but i do love the unique thumbnails.
yeah this has been annoying me too
I would had said a certain thing of certain size x feet away from me.
13:46 Nanomachines, son.
The guy who got the power to magically know everything about shit he looks at was really lucky.
8:10 of course it's Dandelion messing with genies again
he probably wished for more woman
Someone needs to wish the genie was free or something. Sounds like he needs a vacation.
I love the humor in this one a lot. And at 20 mins :) Love it.
I feel like they would want to observe the genie for as long as they could, so if he disappears immediately after a wish, what happens if you just stand there and say nothing?
Turns you INTO NOTHINGGGGGG
What happens if you say "I want a sandwich". I would probably get a witch made of sand and that would kill me.
I wonder what the genie would do if someone said "Alakazam" in his presence. Wait ... Maybe that's where SCP-5254 came from.
Damn, 20 whole minutes? This'll be good.
Why haven't they tried asking for a wish that's more detailed. like instead of asking "make me rich" ask "I want 28 milllion dollars to appear in my bank account tomorrow at exactly 12:00 am"
Thank you for bringing us you're content
“Please give me the full ability to control probabilities”. No way to “misconstrue” it. You can do whatever you want once you get it.
13:45 bro its kingpin
*The genie about to grant the wish but with a twist*
My 20 person lawyer team about to write up a 100 page demand that can not be twisted any other way:
gotta be honest, the "i dunno" one made me laugh
Not only should you be careful for what you wish but also be specific.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Speaking of wishes, you know what I never understood? Genies! They tell you to wish for anything you want, and then they add some terrible twist. Like you wish to jump high so he turns you into a frog. What? Why? Who gains from this? The genie? Where’s the benefit? You should be fighting genies, man, not me. I’m not the problem. Genies. Genies are the problem.
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.
I laughed watching this! :3
A funny SCP with a literal taste.
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.
Keep up the good work Dr Bob
Wow you are at over a million subs. I remember you commenting on a video from one the other scp channels advertising your channel and you were under a 100 subs. Your channel blew up man.
Imagine working at the foundation, be somewhere, got a coffee, working on your computer - only to suddenly go in labor and birth a child that is some random D-Class.
That'd hit different.
Imagine if it specifically looked for an employee named Mary just for extra fuckery.
Counting starting with the thumb, daring lol
Also ngl I love the theory of Aladdin being post-apocalyptic to explain Genie's knowledge...
You need to consult a contract lawyer to go over your wish first before using this spc lol
Try a zero word statement, simply have a D-class walk up to it and flip it off see how it responds to that
"Grass is blue."
-Bilbo Baggins
This sounds more like a djiin than a genie. Djiin twist your words to backfire.
i would love to see how saying just the word “immortality” would go with this genie.
Maybe it'll modify cells into painfully regenerating eternally
I’d say just say one word it will never mis interpret mastery meaning that your in control and have mastered what you wish the genie can’t fuck with you or mess you up even if it was literal you can’t be harmed you will always be in control nothing forced and it doesn’t have risks imagine being in information technology or a doctor can’t mess it up it will only help you lmao.
You'd live forever. But what does it mean to be alive/dead? Maybe he would keep your conscience alive/trapped, but your body would die.
@@Megamanthemachine "Granted, I have given you mastery. Of what? Nothing. You are a master at doing nothing"
"Granted, you will be immortal in the historical sense. You will always be remembered as that one guy that messed up on a work interview so absolutely that you caused ww3"
Disappointing Genie is really just a bargain bin superpower store.
The zero gravity one actually isnt that bad if she has some sort of prepulsion on hand, like compressed air, rockets, or literally just heavy stuff in her pockets that she can throw, like with some tweaking thats a halfway decent ability
Or maybe a grapple hook
@@theomaid that and all of her pockets filled with chunks of something heavy like iron, lead or bismuth and she would at least be able to get around with some practice
Not that bad? She can never go outside ever again. And one person commented that her zero gravity no matter what she touches cancels out. Unless she's inside a building.
@@hhds113 She can go outside. She's just barely hovering above the ground. With a long stick, I'm sure she would be able to pull herself around
@@hhds113 first off your taking this too seriously, 2nd off i meant like in context, relatively. look at how everyone else turned out with their wishes, she is alive and navigation, although difficult, would be possible
I feel as if this is just what would happen if the sims 1 genie was given creative freedom.
So what happens if a non sentient robot puts a bulb in the lamp. And then a chat bot speaks with the genie?
Dead ass the only way to actually be productive is to not talk at all and have it be pre recorded but it’s a jerk and very hateful so it will maybe try to twist it.
Or maybe simply say the word mastery but have the robot say it for you don’t talk now whatever your good at your perfect it literally means complete control over what your good at.
@humblecosmas7729 If the message is pre-recorded, he could just go for whoever made the recording. But a chat bot acts on its own while still lacking self-awareness.
Maybe it turns out being summoned without a master sets him free to reek havoc? Um... oops 😳
@@Megamanthemachine or he makes it so you have to do whatever anyone else tells you. Granting you "mastery" by giving you masters.
Someone just told me the grimace shake is now a Euclid scp
seems like being chainsaw man in this universe seems to be a bad thing
Well yeah. The actual Chainsaw Man is a devil-human hybrid that can survive his transformation. The D-class tho, not so much
3 things to attempt to use this scp
1) fully write down your wish (with conditions to account for shenanigans) prior to engaging with the scp. If possible have him fulfill the written wish without having to vocalise it.
2) request the genie fulfill the request you always wanted exactly to the specifications as preferred by the wishmaker.
3) wish for the Genie, to either change its personality and responses to grant wishes to the person requesting it and their specifications as yearned for instead of vocalized. Or request a similar genie, that has safeguards to protect the individuals making wishes so that they won't have their vocalise wish misinterpreted at the genie's behest.
Personally, I've always been astounded this has never been attempted given how many "Monkey Paw"-ish stories
It’s just that authors just don’t find entertainment in making genies that give you your wishes without any repercussions unfortunately.
@@robertoroberto9798 I get it, I just like doing mental exercises on simple problems. However, it would be interesting to see some of this being addressed, sort of like, genie presets or countermeasures. Heck by all means genie's countermeasures sound like an interesting concept to put into this scp. Not sure what the author would write it as but still just a fun concept. That said it would also be interesting to see if it could produce the fluid known as SCP 682 killer, the one that was featured in an extermination log for 682.
Ain't no way Will Smith is an SCP 💀
Being able to identifie where any poop come from is not that bad. He would be good at track down animal.
Well, now we know the difference between 'genie of the oil lamp' and the 'genie of the electric lamp'😂😂
Everyones reaction to your comment: 🦗
17:37 and if he asked to be more handsome he would be covered in hands
The depths of human stupidly don't amaze me anymore, as I've seen far too many stupid "smart" people. I guess it just proves that Intelligence and Wisdom are indeed separate things.
Thanks for the video Dr Bob.
What if, now hear me out, you get lawyers?
