ok but like isn't this a great outcome for the human? that dog has to go to school and pay taxes now. jokes on him

Is this why dogs always stare creepily when the lovemaking starts?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

No, that's because they had their balls cut.

Reminds me of this comic which was also made in 2019 or 2020 i believe.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Saw a funny continuation where the dogs first wish is for them to swap bodies and his second wish is that the person couldn't talk.

[–] samus12345 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That sounds more like cat wishes to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

why would a cat lower themselves to the life of a petty human?

[–] samus12345 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Easier to get food that way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you are able to get food with less work than your cat then I'm either jealous of your life or worried about your cat.

[–] samus12345 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

How would the cat know how the food gets there? The human leaves, they come back with food. That would be a great "be careful what you wish for" wish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

no because now they have to actually work for it and do chores and stuff

The tragic comedy is when the dog wishes the human can live forever.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Someone posted a version of that in the comments. A bit dark!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm willing to bet the comic came out first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I found a thread discussing this and the claim is that a tweet came first, but i wasn't able to open the imgur link provided. Either way, i definitely saw the comic and not the tweet

This is where two balls comes in handy.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Granted. One of your testicles grows back.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I SAID BALL NOT TESTICLE. JUST BECAUSE I CAN TALK DOESN'T MEAN I UNDERSTAND IDIOMS.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

If you understood genies, you would know that twisting your words is par for the course, if not the whole point (⌐■_■)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why would a dog understand genies if they don't understand idioms?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Good question. They don't. Neither do people, hence the ironic consequences.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Testicle

Twisting your words

So the genie is technically committing linguistic torsion

Technically it can already talk using its own language.

To talk with human words requires a bump in intelligence which would end up in severe depression once it realises the dynamics of ifs existence.

As you didn’t wish for that intelligence you’re now stuck with a dog that barks with human vocal cords. Its first wish was made using body language for the genie to pet them. The second wish was to trow a stick.

To talk with human words requires a bump in intelligence which would end up in severe depression once it realises the dynamics of ifs existence.

A bump up in intelligence that allows for speech, doesn't mean it inherently becomes aware of all the existential dread in the universe or becomes unhappy with its station.

See: children.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

all the existential dread in the universe

See: children.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Man I had existential dread at like 3 or 4 when I started wondering what happens after death and what the meaning of this existence is if it's limited to one lifetime... I'm not even bullshitting.

Technically non-human animal communication isn't language.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Here's the real genie answer, complete with ironic consequences based on a literal interpretation.

"I wish I had my balls back"

"I wish for the humans balls to be removed"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Dog: I wish my human was never sad and will live forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I wish we could eat poop together

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

"I wish for a litterbox with infinite cat poop."

That's nice. I'd wish for the scientific knowledge to create sustainable fusion. That way I could be rich, famous, and save humanity.

[–] peteypete420 1 points 3 days ago

Youd think it would go that way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Just make sure you don't try this with your cat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

wish one: I want to be the best boy/girl

wish two: I want to overcome my fear of the demon cat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Dog: whatever it is you’re trying to say, I don’t understand you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I wonder what the dog would wish for?
