You've left the geanie so much room for interpretation, for example:

  • Take 30 seconds to do the task of giving all blind people eyesight.
  • You didn't say when these 30 seconds happen. Could be all at once now, but could also be everyone at their last 30 seconds to live.
  • "Eyesight" could mean that there are eyes sighting the blind one. So there's just someone around that looks at the blind person.
  • You didn't say that the people have to be alive. So now, they become zombies for 30 seconds. This means somewhere where there's a living human next to a dead blind human, the living one gets bitten, and the zombie disease can spread.

Ooh, I didn't see zombies as a possible outcome

Or who's eyesight it gives.

Each blind person gets horrifying deep sea fish eyesight or the eyesight of someone committing murder and now they all are thought to be hallucinating.

You just brought back a memory of this wild game. Thank you!

I had troubles understanding the meaning of your monkey hand, and I'm still pondering over it. Is it some idiom I don't know? Could you pls give me some explanation? 🥺 👉👈

Money paw, it's and an old story that's based on the premises of the Faustian bargain. You get your wish but with a self defeating side effect.

IE a million dollars in you back account but you lost all the login info.

All blind people have sight for 30 seconds while they’re asleep

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago

30 consecutive seconds or could it be 1 second, x30?

Doesn't say the quality of the eyesight, it could be just barely above the legal definition of blindness

Not to mention it doesn’t say only 30 seconds so if all blind peoples eyesight is restored for at least 30 seconds then the genie could just restore it forever.
