    The idea is that I will bring a wish, for example "I wish ice-cream wouldn't melt at room temperature", and then the next one must grant that wish, but with one downside, as in "Wish granted, but your icecream attracts insects" for example.

    I'll begin with "I wish Chrome wouldn't consume so much RAM memory"
