Upon reflection the phrase "well we can't put the genie back in the bottle" seems flawed if it's drawing on Aladdin; being tethered to the bottle is the whole thing about the genie, you absolutely can tell the genie to go back to the bottle
@ingrid i thought you couldn't put the genie back in the bottle because they came out of a lamp
@ingrid
See also the phrase "you can't turn back the clock".
There's a knob on the back!
@ingrid honestly the genie would probably prefer it
@ingrid It's drawing on the story of the djinn and the fisherman, one of the first stories in the 1001 nights.
@ingrid I thought this was based on diffusion of gases
