You get three wishes, you can only use them for selfish reasons, what do you wish for? (hexbear.net)

I basically just want to know what you'd wish for if you didn't worry about others. So that's the real question, but it's not as catchy. Three wishes for something only for you. If it helps then assume all the other stuff resolves itself.

The rule is spirit of the law. If you wish for something that happens to help others, it's fine, but if you wish for something with the goal of doing something good for anyone but you, then you're turned into Elon Musks right thumb (you retain sentience and sapience, but you're a thumb. No ability to do anything and you don't control yourself, Elon does, you're his thumb.)

Example:
Okay: Your mom is sick and you wish for her to be cured, because you would miss your mom.
Not okay: Your mom is sick and you wish for her to be cured because she doesn't want to be sick.

And don't try to rules lawyer it, the genie will get you for that too.

Also only three wishes, it's a limitation on the genie, not a rule. It's physically incapable of it. It cannot give you more than three wishes, nor can it be made into something that can do that, nor can it make something that can do that, nor can it make something that can turn it into something that can do that.

I want my foreskin back because I want the feelings they cut out of me at birth without my permission.

I want gay marraige to be recognized in Indonesia so I can move there with my husband and fuck off of Amerikkka and live somewhere nice that doesn't have freezing cold and snow and not a conservative KKKristian shithole.

I want enough money to live realtively comfortably to fuck off, enjoy the world, and not have to answer to a clock or a boss and office drama bullshit.
