Lets assume that genies grant wishes literally, but will twist your words. How do you wish without unintended consequences? Typical rules of no more wishes, no resurrection, no forced love, no altering the past, can’t defy logic, can’t break physical laws, can’t create paradoxes, and can’t affect higher powers (this is one tough genie!).
It would be very difficult to place the asteroid next to them in a manner that is both safe and neat in relation to anything involved, while harming the wisher. Like, how would you kill them neatly with an asteroid?
It said Genie had to place it next to them neatly. Genie just had to make the asteroid indestructable or very hard to not take damage and the speed by which it got there was enough to destroy everything around it. see the multiple meteorites whose simple sound shattered windows for miles
That doesn’t sound very neat
it was, for the asteroid!
