  • I reread the thread and I still don't get it.

    Pretty clearly the post wasn't about bidet users, because bidet users taking a long time to use TP isn't noteworthy at all, so people replying that they use bidets is deadly boring.

    What other context would I be missing?

  • The genie has the power to disagree about granting extra wishes.
    \ The genie isn't bound to be honest.
    \ Why do you think that's the only thing they can disagree on? And why do you think they'd be honest that they have to fulfill the wish to the letter? And why do you think they'd consider that all a single wish? And why do you think that they'd tell you if they didn't?

    Genies want to grant wishes that undermine the wishes intention. You don't think they'd do that on a wish about not undermining the wish's intention?

  • a wish with multiple components could be considered multiple wishes, just like if you were to say "I wish for riches and the ability to fly" is two wishes.
    \ Since you wished for "no malicious compliance" last, it wasn't in effect when the other wishes were granted, include for the wish of no malicious compliance.

    But even if you wish for it first, we already see that some wishes aren't granted, like the wish for more wishes. And we also know that the genie isndishone because it is maliciously complying. So why do you think the genie would be honest about if it actually fulfilled the wish for no malicious compliance?

  • Just because you say "there shall be no malicious compliance" doesn't make it so, right?

    If the things nature isn't to follow your orders to the letter, but to maliciously comply with your orders, then telling it not to won't change anything.

  • You've phrased this like a disagreement, but I don't see how.

    Although maybe I'm just so jaded, that people providing interesting tangentially related trivia are perceived as being hostile unless they announce that as their intent, because usually unannounced trivia is leveled as an attack.

  • That sounds like a great invention that my toilet unfortunately doesn't have - and although I know how the mechanisms in my toilet work I'm unfortunately not enough of an experience to retrofit something like that in lol

    But it's something I'll keep an eye out for when I eventually buy a house, assuming that ever happens lol

  • I wasn't sure if you were satirically saying that trump would fix the issue, or you were accusing me of being a trump voter.

    I don't live in the USA, so neither can be true, and I'm not familiar with the quote you're talking about. Although I'm usually pretty familiar with his shenanigans.

    I'm complaining about my actual toilet which seems to use just too little water to completely flush everything, ironically wasting water.

  • My toilet is newer than that (and also I don't live in the USA), so idk what to tell you.
    \ It could just be a poor toilet (I didn't buy it), or a plumbing issue (I live in an apartment), but if I flush once then stuff comes back up, and simply using more water fixes it so i assume it's a flow issue
