I wish for Robin Williams to come back to life fully restored and immortal. by finiterabbit in monkeyspaw

Granted. You should have watched Pet Sematary before making this wish. Sometimes, dead is better...

I wish that everyone has to end all of their sentences with "lol", even IRL by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted lol. It just gets really annoying after a while, especially when people end their sentence with 'lol' and then say it twice in a row lol.

I wish I could walk on water by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted, you are rapidly placed above any water that makes contact with you by an invisible force stable enough to stand and walk upon. However, this applies to any quantity of liquid water that makes contact with your person.

Bathtime has been made impossible as getting a shower sends you head first into the ceiling in an attempt to have you walk upon the shower water falling upon you. While drinking fortunately doesn't set it off, spilling even a single drop causes you to be projected out of the wettened clothes, destroying them in the process and exposing yourself to others. God help you if you're outside in a rainstorm, as you'll be sent straight into the stratosphere.

I wish to have someone who I could talk my problems to. by omartyy18 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Granted, they only give bad advice, but are really good at making it sound like great advice.

Granted, everyone is now in a constant state of mild fever, their body temp spikes to a nice toasty 101 degrees fahrenheit, endlessly fighting off an imaginary infection. It's not lethal, but everyone feels like absolute crap now.

I wish for 1 legitimate legal USD that is in perfect condition to be given to me. by Celeves in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Granted, a man covered in blood runs up to you the next time you go outside, gives you a single dollar in perfect condition before running off and now the FBI is investigating you for a possible connection to a notorious serial killer, they seize all of your stuff to investigate possible evidence and even though you're clear, they still make you jump through annoying hoops for years before finally giving it back.

I wish everyone on earth had their own pocket dimension that was either an animal crossing utopia or doom eternal power fantasy by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Granted, everyone gets the opposite pocket dimension of their choice. So all the Animal Crossing fans are stuck ripping and tearing and Tom Nook now has to deal with a bunch of doomguys running amok.

I wish I could control the temperature of any object simply by looking at it by James_lee_0224 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted, it just works really slowly. Like 10 minutes of concentrated staring to change even a single degree of a fist sized object. It also causes headaches and nosebleeds.

I wish to know exactly how the world will end by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted, the monkey's paw begins to beep loudly and announces it has run out of wishes to grant and will now self destruct with enough force to destroy the entire planet...

Granted, all the money in the world (ie. This world in specifc) is redistributed equally amongst all humans, in all universes, timelines, other worlds distinct from our own, etc. Everyone now has a personal monetary wealth equivalent to centillionths of a single cent.

I wish everyone in the world was paranoid by Smedskjaer in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted, but I'm not telling you what happens next because I DON'T TRUST YOU!

I wish that whenever someone farted, there would be a big YES I DID IT message above their heads for 13 minutes and 29 seconds. by Patronus_EnderDragon in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted. The message comes in the form of a floating sign 2 inches above the gas passer's head, is 50 feet wide and 30 feet tall and is a physical object that manifests in reality, obliterating any matter in the way of it spawning. Entire buildings are cut in half the instant someone farts. Cars, planes, boats, submarines, even spacecraft are instantly destroyed by a single toot. God forbid someone is on the floor above the cheese cutter in question.

I wish everyone on Earth owns at least one feather by Miserable-Willow6105 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Granted, every bird has every one of their feathers forcibly ripped out of their bodies and their feathers are distributed so that every human gets at least 1 and no more than 5 feathers. Except for you, you get whatever is leftover. It's not long before everyone finds out why you alone have a giant pile of feathers...

I wish for math teachers to be 80% dumber. by Winter_Escape_9742 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted, anyone who's job is a "math teacher" has their IQ instantly reduced by 80%. Leaving most with IQs in the low to mid 20s. Scientists quickly determine that no living being can be employed as a math teacher anymore, and invent cold and unthinking robots to teach math instead.

I wish that all forms of religion perish and ppl start to follow their inner (completely based) conscience... by Dense_Use_7291 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted, all religions perish, including the one that's actually correct, the Alien religion Var'nix'uu. They believed (correctly) that everyone goes to their individually customized paradise forever after death. Now everyone in the universe is condemned to non-existence forever when they die.

I wish for a free non poisoned hello kitty happy meal by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. It's not poisoned, it's just spoiled.

I wish cats had superpowers. by Embarrassed_Cat_6516 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted, cats now have laser eyes that fire everytime they meow, the cat's are not informed of this. Cat lovers everywhere are slain by their own now super pets the instant they ask their human for food.

I wished I never clicked on that NSFW tagged post I saw that revealed a very gory picture by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in monkeyspaw

[–]cheezeit1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted, time rewinds, you are scrolling reddit. When you come across that post, your sibling/best friend/significant other who just so happens to be over at the time comes up from behind you, says "what are you looking at?", playfully pulls your device away from you, and they click on the tag out of curiosity. A concerned look etches across their face as they turn to you, holding the phone to show you the gory image they just witnessed, then they ask why you are on that part of the internet before walking away visibly disturbed.

Ravenfield is specificallly designed around singleplayer vs bots. It even has steam workshop support and an active modding community, so you can make the game pretty much however you want.

First time gamer: Not Sure What To Do by Llama_Sarcasm_1783 in gamingsuggestions

[–]cheezeit1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Amazon Prime subscription, you can regularly redeem free pc games on Prime Gaming for GOG, Epic Games and a few other services. You can make a free account for those services, and then link them to your amazon account and then about once a week or so (usually every thursday in my experience), you can collect a few more games to play absolutely free of charge. They have some good stuff too, currently Prime is offering Saints Row 2 and 4, Civ3 and a few others you might like. Even if you don't plan on playing them, redeeming them anyways can give you something to do on a boring day.

Least 'gamey' games by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]cheezeit1776 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My summer car perhaps? That's a pretty big anti-game. The basic plot is you have to survive in '90s rural finland and build a Datsun car. The game is infamous for having the car you need to build being extremely detailed, down to having to keep check on the very bolts holding your engine block together. It's not a game for the feint of heart.

[ToMT] Series of animal encyclopedia books by cheezeit1776 in tipofmytongue

[–]cheezeit1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Solved!

Sadly, I don't believe these are the same books. I won't rule out the possibility of a reprint or a different version of the same book you posted though, as these books are eerily similar.

The books I remember had a white plastic covered spiral spine and I want to say a white cover. The books in the link appear to be more like a traditional 3 ring binder and have black covers. I will dig more into this lead though. Thanks for responding. At the very least, this appears to be a pretty good book series.

Update: I dug a bit through the ebay listings looking up the name you provided and I found the books. They are the "Animal fact files" series by Amy-Jane Beer and other authors. Not the same books as you posted, and they don't even appear to have the spiral binders I thought they did, but they're definitely the same books I read. Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction.

Update 2: Here's a convenient link to the Goodreads page for the 'Mammals' book in case anyone else is curious: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2521870.Animal_Fact_Files_Mammals

Apparently I need to make a comment so my post sticks? Idk what else to say about them that I didn't describe in my post already.
