Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

The monkey paw disappears. In its place is now a void in space the same shape and volume as the monkey paw. The crushing implosion and resulting explosive rebound is so loud and violent that it completely ruptures your eardrums and blows apart the hand in which you were holding the paw.

You’ve released the world from the paw, but at the cost of your hand and hearing.

The paw would have to be extremely massive to cause that much of a shockwave lol
