After all that I still get brittle bone disease!?!

What? You said you wanted your Bones less dense, do you know how much bone I had to remove to let you fly with hummingbird wings?

Probably an autistic genie. It's important to get the details right!

These aren't small details, they are crucial details.

What's the opposite of a monkey's paw?

The original terms of the wish requested the ability to fly, not just wings. These are part and parcel to being able to fly with wings. Ergo, only one wish.

He could have claimed so, but he's not a jackass genie.

given this genie's thoroughness your brain would have to be 100x as heavy

Different folks, different strokes.

Welcome to 2025. Now that you've exited the rock and had a mild warm up, let's get you up to speed

Yeah why would you take wings over telekinetics that’s wild

Sure, but what if telepathic powers somehow affect your brain chemistry or morphology? Aside, Would flying be like manipulating gravity or lifting yourself up with an "invisible hand"?

In order to use telepathy, we'll need to add a new section to your brain. Would you like to shrink the other sections of your brain to make room, or would you like a bigger brain? Oh, you want a bigger brain? Well, now we need to expand your head. Would you prefer an egghead or do you want the whole thing to grow? It will also come at the cost of requiring more energy.

Is that a deliberate conscience telepathic effort, or automatic unconscious reflex? (eg. Perhaps you don't want to accidentally hover or float in public.)

How much energy does telepathy use though?

ok well moving an object still requires energy, so you're gonna need the increased metabolism perk. We'll have to increase blood flow to the brain, oh and it'll need to be increased in mass a lot...how do you feel about a tall head?

dunno. inflating like a pufferfish and becoming a dirigible is cool too. i could go for that.

I'm sure you mean grown up DBZ Goku, but I would 100% take a flying nimbus and putter around the skies on my little cloud buddy. Just remember to pack a parachute!

Genie: What kind of bird?

Clients: I saw a very pretty bird once, I think it was in Europe. It had feathers and part of it was black.

Genie:.... Right.

The problem is telepathy doesn't exist in this universe. It seems the genie can rearrange matter into whatever form serves your purpose, but he can't make a wish that allows you to violate the laws of physics.

I would keep it simple and ask for the private keys to a bunch of orphaned/lost Bitcoin wallets from the early days of Bitcoin. Then I can simply claim I mined them back in the day, cash them out, and declare them on my taxes. I get an instant and legal large sum of money. It's not poofed into existence or stolen from someone who's going to come after me.

Alternatively, I might just wish to find a very large nugget of gold in the next hole I dig in my backyard. That would serve the same effect. Or wishing to be the sole winner of the next Powerball ticket I buy would also work.

With genies, if you must deal with them, best to keep things simple. Asking for superhero powers is just asking for trouble. Just ask for various forms of legal money.

Do you want to take a genetic modification and let the new DNA alter your body for 40 years for it to take effect, or do you want to become a comic character?
