Granted, but as soon as you accomplish this the governments of the world decide to adopt a 27-hour day.

I want fresh baked bread that is delicious and that I can eat without hindrance.

As you wish. Enticingly delicious fresh bread appears on your counter still warm even. How ever you can only eat one bite before you are full. And the rest of the bread is stale by the time you get more.

I wish I could relax.

Sha-ZAM!  You finally relax! 
A little too much, because you're flatlinin -
*second Sha-ZAM*
 - nd you're back.  Good.  So much for the relaxation, though....

I wish I knew what I wanted and what I needed, and that they were the same thing.

You are transported instantly into high earth orbit, without benefit of any gear.  You already know what you want, and what you need.  They are one and the same.

I wish I had about six months to do with as I please.

Granted. You now get to live the the first six months of your life again. You can do all you please. However, all you please is now limited to sleeping, shitting, drinking milk, pissing, crying and being surprised by sudden noises from your parents. Enjoy!

I wish my life had ended up the way I thought it would when I was 17.

Granted. However, prior to making this wish, you misremembered what you had actually expected when you were 17; thus, you end up with a much more grim life than you had previously expected, given that your expectations at 17 were actually much darker than you remember.  You were thinking of when you were 19.

I wish there could be more jalapeno poppers with less fat-to-other-nutrients-ratio.

Granted. The extra fat's been replaced by a new additive which turns out to both multiply the spice from the jalapeños by 100-fold and be carcinogenic.

I wish there weren't so many willfully ignorant people in the world.
