Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

I wish that any time someone attempted to upload an image containing a partially censored word to the internet, their connection would drop for 5 minutes. (sopuli.xyz)

Fully censored strings are fine so that people can cover up PII, but no "sh*t" shenanigans.

Would your post cause a drop?

I don't think so, since it's not an image. It's just text.

Grish wanted, but anyone making a misspelling or not expanding an acronym, drops their internet for 50 minutes
