Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*
Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

Granted. It undoes exactly the action you want it to do, and overall works exactly like you want it to. But to keep reality consistent, it rewinds time for the whole universe. And every sentient creature is aware of what you're doing, but since the undo only works for you, they are forced to live through the rewound time every time you use it. You are not very popular.
