Granted: It snows so hard that the entire city/town/village you live in shuts down completely. When this happens, it becomes impossible to leave the house to do even basic errands.

Evan worse, the temperature remains below freezing for months before it finally gets warm enough for the snow to melt.

After a few years, the area you're in learns to deal with this, and you now have snow plows, salt in the roads (which isn't good for your car), and things can continue as usual, but until then there are serious problems when the snow comes.

I wish that the areas on the US west coast where there are major wildfires would get constant rain until the fires stop burning.

Wish granted. The North Pole melts and evaporates to create a gigantic mass of clouds that will provide constant rain over west USA forever. Better not think about the environmental effects of this...

I wish for an AI to take charge of the world.

Granted, but it's Jobe from Lawnmower Man and he ends every press-conference by transforming into a poorly-animated dog.

I wish Peter Jackson was hired to direct the live-action Transformers movies instead of Michael Bay.

Granted: They find a black guy named Peter Jackson and hire him to direct the movies. Unfortunately, it turns out that this particular Peter Jackson is not the one you intended, and his skills lie in playing the trombone, not in directing movies, so as a result, the movies don't get very far in production.

I wish that, instead of what actually happened historically, the diseases from the New World had killed the Europeans who tried to colonize it.

Granted, but the Black Death didn't need them to spread because it's carried by the fleas of rats, so 97% of Native Americans still die and Europe's innovations (including growing beyond colonization but also dictatorships) still happen, just without the Americas as a factor. Furthermore, the collapse of Native American civilizations still happen without unfriendly visitors and Asia is similarly unchanged. When World War 2 happens, refugees hoping to find shelter from Hitler's conquest discover that the entire Western Hemisphere has been conquered by Japan and large parts have been sold to their allies in Germany and Italy. Long story short: the bad guys win.

I wish all politicians and journalists were permanently cursed to be compulsively honest like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar.

Granted. Now everyone is panicking or suing governments. Civilisation collapses.

Wish the old guys that start wars had to fight them instead of the usual young impressionable guys, who actually have no quarrel and need to be trained to hate.

Granted, but unfortunately that means that we're unable to develop a cure for cyanide poisoning that we would have been able to otherwise.

Aside from that, your wish has no noticeable effect.

I wish that university students would stop partying and spreading COVID-19.

Granted. The student stop partying now, therefore they stop spreading COVID-19. But, somehow, the professor and staff of the university are now the one partying instead. They spread the virus much more worse than their students before.

I wish there is a kind of whale that flies.

Granted, but it's extremely rare and it goes extinct without anyone actually seeing it in the air.

I wish that GOG would get some troll platformers.

Granted, they employ tolls to stand on platforms in the corners of their offices.

I wish Ronnie James Dio was still alive and releasing music at the quality of his first 2 Black Sabbath and first 3 Dio albums.

Granted, but all his records are now produced by Ozzy Osbourne, who secretly sabotages every new release from Dio to make them sound awful and steals some of the best songs for his own projects.

I wish there was a new season of My Name is Earl.

There is a new season, but the premise of the show is completely changed, Earl doesn't want to make up for his mistakes anymore, instead he becomes a serial killer (and now has a list of people he wants to murder), because shows about serial killers get higher ratings.

I wish for Fortnite to be banned and for rehabilitation camps for Fortnite addicts

Granted, but gambling victims of mobile games are willfully ignored.

I wish all Battle Royals had an offline combat mode.

Granted. Now you have the map to yourself.

Wish there were no plastic/pollution in the ocean.
