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.

Actually, no. Monkeys paw grants the wish as stated, but in a way you didn't want. It's not "your wish comes true, and also this terrible thing", it's "a terrible thing happens and, as a result, your wish comes true."
