minus-squareDeath_Equity@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·12 days agoOh no, the monkey’s paw only grants cursed wishes based upon the sin my wish infringes upon? How foreign a concept.
minus-squareSusaga@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·12 days agoActually, no. Monkeys paw grants the wish as stated, but in a way you didn’t want. It’s not “your wish comes true, and also this terrible thing”, it’s “a terrible thing happens and, as a result, your wish comes true.”
