    Depends on if the descriptions are jackass genie rules or not. If it’s being genuine, it means you won’t gain any excess weight beyond what’s healthy. 1 and 3 seem like descriptions ripe for abuse as well.

    1: Thinner!

    3: You can no longer get things you need because you are unable to shop.

      Excess weight is literally fat. That is how the body stores excess energy.

      Not sure if you can live without any fat or not. Would have to look into it.

          Yes I read it the first time. It’s such a wild undefineable description that differs from person to person, even from environment to environment.

          But you interpret the magical pill how you want. And I’ll interpret it how I see fit. Deal?

            Yes, that’s why it’s a magic pill. I already interpreted it two different ways - if it’s granting the “wish” in the spirit of the clear intent from the phrasing, it won’t be harmful, but if it’s being literal, you’re gonna die.

                Okay, not just phrasing, but the overall presentation. Because these pills are presented as desirable things that you can only pick 3 of, it would make no sense for any of them to be negative.

                  Desirable is another incredibly subjective thing don’t you think?

                  Most of these doesn’t sound desirable at all to me.

                  You consider them desirable because you imagine their effect as something positive.

                  So I wouldn’t say they’re presented as desirable and positive as much as you want them to be.

                    If the effects aren’t intended to be positive, why is it asking you to choose “only 3”? You can decide they’re not positive to you, but they’re clearly intended to be.
