How good was Inspectah Decks album?
I can’t answer that one, but his stuff with Czarface is killer
What treatments will revert aging.
None.
You’re welcome :)
We already do it in rodents, there are animals that already do it by themselves making them virtually immortal.
Why are you so scared of living?
Thats cool, didnt know that
It’s maybe the coolest thing there is, I mean we could travel the universe if we didn’t go bad after just some decades of time.
If we had enough energy we could also do that in our lifetime (because time passes slower when closer to the speed of light)…
If you can accelerate our frail bodies up to those speeds fast enough :-)
I’m betting on longevity 😁
The thing with longetivity is you’d probably start getting mad or depressed or bored after some time. Also, the population would exponentially grow and lastly, it is rather difficult to get poeple that were born 500 years ago to agree with people that were born 20 years ago. It would probably result in a political chaos.
“What is love?”
No. I can predict the responses to this.
(Fine. I’ll do it)
Oh baby, don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me. No more.
Love is an imaginary dagger
“Definition: ‘Love’ is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometres away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. […] [L]ove is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.”

Did she love me?
At the time probably yes, now we don’t know/probably not. Note that love is complicated and has different types like there is passionate love and companionate love. Passionate love rises quickly within 6 months to 1.5 years, it reaches its peak. Then it goes down hill and within 7 years it goes to its lowest point. This happens to everybody not just you, naturally this love converts into companionate love over this time and when that does not happen it needs to end. Companionate love is slow in rising but it is also more lasting. Two main components of companionate love are 1) emotional intimacy - ability to share anything 2) commitment - that feeling that it is YOUR responsibility to help them if they need something. Any action that violates these will result in losing love.
Some actions that hurt love: lying, hiding things, feeling you’re the only one who cares etc.
Know this, true love or companionate love is something both people nurture and grow, you cannot do it all on your own. If it ended then something went wrong, maybe nobody was at fault.
Take your time and heal my friend.
Thank you for that.
I played with the same question as the comment you answered and in a way your answer helped me. I just wanted to say thank you. So: thank you kind stranger.

what are the next winning lottery numbers?
Gotta be more specific or you’ll get monkey-pawed. The next winning lottery number is 42. At the bingo hall of the assisted living facility in Fargo, North Dakota.
Winner, winner, hot dog dinner
If their gonna go monkeys paw on my ass, it’s gonna happen no matter how specific I get. you can’t outsmart wish-granters, they literally bend fate to their will.
also sorry for nitpicking, but a real monkeys paw would be something like:
“the way you find out the winning lotto numbers is by a lawyer knocking on your door and saying your son died horrifically and he left you this lotto ticket in his will.”
the numbers would get you your million dollar jackpot, your wish would be fully granted, you just won’t want it anymore because of the price you paid for it. winning $50 from some granny’s bingo Hall instead of the thing you actually wished for is hardly a consequence at all, more like a prank a genie would pull just to fuck with you. monkeys paws are more cruel than that.
“Explain the technology needed for interstellar and intergalactic travel.”
That’s not a question
Yeah it is. You can put a question mark at the end if you want but the result is the same unless this is an asshole genie.
“How can humanity achieve faster than light travel?”
What’s gonna suck is that the answer is going to be a generation ship and it’s gonna have to survive a loooong time on the way to its destination.
I think that’s our current understanding but not some omnipotent being. The physics of “FTL” kind of check out with a literal star’s/Dyson sphere’s worth of energy.
I meant more of the idea that the answer was it’s impossible

How can I live forever?
what it he just says “you can’t” he’s giving truths, not wishes.
Shrinked, crumbled, and in constant pain.
Become a genie.
If time requires change, and forever is to the end of time, you could live forever by bringing about the total heat death of the universe at the instant of your death. You wouldn’t really live any longer, just kill everything else with you.
Thats easy: You can’t.
100% truthfully answered. Youre welcome :)
Who were the sea people and what really happened with the bronze age collapse?
The bronze age collapse was likely caused by widespread draught from what I’ve read. The evidence points to the sea people being a conglomeration of neighboring groups who took to the sea raiding for survival.
That still doesn’t really explain, why so many civilizations collapsed over such a relatively wide geographical range.
It especially doesn’t explain, why so many of them just seem to have vanished almost over night.
From memory one hypothesis was that tin had become an essential trade good that was required for making bronze, and therefore using bronze for many of the times’ high-level technological innovations, especially construction tools, weapons, and for ships.
However, tin is rare, and at the time, there were only a few disparate sources of tin. It’s suggested the middle east sourced most of its tin from China via the silk road, and Ancient Greeks were getting theirs from deep inland European sources (possibly near Hungary, Brittany in France, or Cornwall in England).
This was fine during settled and undisturbed times, as the very long, convoluted trade routes prospered and grew.
But they were very susceptible to disruption during unsettled times, and it wouldn’t have taken taken much to be disrupted by large movements of nomadic warring raiders or groups of peoples, or particularly terrible famines or natural disasters located across critical trade routes.
And as states and cities likely isolated themselves behind city walls to protect themselves from the strife of the time, this only would have decreased trade even more, and suddenly they would no longer have the ability to make the essential tools and weapons their societies had become reliant on, in the numbers required, right when those nations needed them most.
This would have been especially ruinous if those nomadic raiding tribes, or groups of unknown origin like the Sea Peoples, had access to iron technology, which required only one more easily sourced metal, iron. Pure copper weapons, due to lack of tin to make bronze, would have been fairly ineffective against iron or bronze equivalents.
It’s a hypothesis, and not “proven”, but I’d say it’s a fairly plausible explanation for what likely happened.
Widespread draught and climate change aren’t localized events.
That’s a theory I’ve heard too, but I want to know for sure. Or as sure as one can be with history.
Oh boy, one I can actually point to a legit answer to for someone in this thread.
It’s way too long for a comment, but the TLDR is:
Ramses II captured twelve groups of Anatolian tribes following Kadesh, one for each son with him.
After Ramses II is dead, at least one of those tribes (the Lukka) are fighting in a one day war against his son Merneptah alongside other sea peoples (this is the first connection between these tribes and the sea) and Libya. Notably, a number of the sea peoples in this battle were oddly recorded as being without foreskins.
You actually see this event in Homer, when Odysseus tells about a one day battle immediately after Troy against Egypt where he is taken captive, parties in Egypt for seven years until a “certain Phrygian” shows up and tries to ransom him to Libya.
Seven years after that one day battle against Merneptah is when the usurper Amenmesse (referred to as Mose in Papyrus Salt 124) takes Egypt for 3 years.
Ramses III talks about the end of the 19th dynasty as having been characterized by the city governors making decisions and the gods having been made like men. Both fairly Phonecian features, given the city state governance and the euhemerism of the Phonecian mythos reported by Philo of Byblos from around the time of the Trojan War.
Ramses III later claims to have forcibly relocated the sea peoples into the Levant, though as can be seen in places like Ashkelon they’d already conquered and set a foothold there as well.
In particular, there was supposedly a commander named Mopsus/Muksus who had conquered Ashkelon, and who you later see the rulers of the Denyen sea peoples in Adana crediting their ancestry to in 8th century BCE bilinguals.
Do any of these features maybe ring some bells?
Twelve tribes? No foreskins? Captured into Egypt?
How about a bunch of pre-Greek peoples sailing around the Mediterranean on ships?
Part of the problem is that the surviving oral histories of this period seem to have underwent extensive reworking, with a particular focus on ethnocentrism such that the Argonautica is solely about Greeks and the Biblical Exodus is only about Israelites.
The two stores share surprising details, like how in the Argonautica the prophet Mopsus died as they wandered by foot back from a battle in North Africa, similar to how the prophet Moses died in the desert as they were wandering by foot back from North Africa. In fact, right after this happens in the Argonautica it tells of a local sheepherder killing one of their elite warriors with the cast of a stone, similar to the Biblical story of a sheepherder killing an elite sea peoples warrior with the cast of a stone (thought to be reappropriated into the Davidic story but not originally about him).
In fact, one of the two ways of Hellenizing the name Joshua is Jason.
A problem was Homer’s combining the Mycenaean conquest of Anatolia with the later retaking of Wilusa from the Hittites screwed up all the later Greek chronologies (depending on the sources, Perseus is his own ancestor), so the Greeks thought their Argonautica period was before Troy.
But after the conquest of Alexander, when multiple cultural sources were all being considered together, you had scholars suddenly realizing they were looking at shared history, such as Atrapanus of Alexandria having Moses on the Argos teaching Orpheus the mysteries, or Hecataeus of Adbera’s version of the Exodus story that had multiple different peoples all being exiled from Egypt, including the Phonecian Cadmus or Libyan Danaus.
Some of those stories have remarkable overlap to this period too, despite their late character. For example the story of Danaus, Lybian brother to the Pharoh with 50 sons who later becomes leader of the Greeks, is pretty interesting in light of Ramses II’s forensic report describing him as appearing like a Lybian Berber given he had 48-50 recorded sons. You have oddities like Herodotus’s crediting the multi-day women only Thesmophoria festival to the daughters of Danaus fleeing Egypt, and you have a reference to a multi-day women only ritual in Judges 11 where it’s explained with what’s effectively the story of Idomenus’s return home from the Trojan War.
The problem is that even myth which contains kernels of truth also contains lots of kernels of BS, and between survivorship biases and anchoring biases, the picture of these periods is extremely muddied. Just look at how little attention the Greek and Egyptian accounts of the Exodus narrative get from scholars relative to the amount of attention the Biblical version gets.
Archeology may gradually help. For example, Yigael Yadin’s theory that the Denyen sea peoples were the lost tribe of Dan given the reference of Dan “staying on their ships” in Judges 5 may be strengthened by the recent discovery of Aegean style pottery made with local clay in Tel Dan.
This theory is particularly interesting given the “House of Mopsus” of the Denyen relative to the story in Judges 18 where a descendant of Moses becomes the priest for the tribe of Dan contrary to all the stuff about how it needs to be a descendant of Aaron. As well, you can see in Ezekiel 27:19 where Greece and Dan are trading together with Tyre, with the goods mentioned as in line with Adana’s relative geography. The Denyen and the neighboring Ahhiyawa might be a good fit for who was being referred to here, and given the exact same form for Dan as when mentioned as staying on their ships, the Denyen become a compelling match for the tribe.
Another interesting archeological detail is the imported bees from Anatolia in 10th-9th century BCE Tel Rehov.
My broad guess looking at the many different accounts was that the various peoples brought into Egypt under Ramses II had Merneptah either exile foreigners or deny previous land rights to them after he took power, which led to the Lybian war. After losing that, the surviving tribes (who had greater allegiance to each other and reclaiming a home in Egypt as opposed to individual countries of origin) went back and conquered much of their homelands in what were effectively populist uprisings (conveniently often at times of destabilization from famine and natural disaster) raising enough of an army doing so they were able to successfully take all of Egypt a few years later. They ultimately couldn’t hold it, left and continued to conquer areas of the Mediterranean until finally becoming fractured enough a generation or two later that they were beaten by Ramses III and individual tribes kept extremely fractured and partial retellings of the events which took on increasingly mythical form as time went on and changed specifics as power dynamics shifted or the myths were absorbed into other cultures.
Give it another 20 years or so, and I think you’ll have a lot more of an official answer to your question than you might have previously expected to end up with. There’s enough there, particularly in light of recent archeology, that I doubt the status quo collective shrug will hold much longer.
Holy shit. What a comment, thank you!
Wow. Always neat to learn something new.
Thanks for sharing (although I am unqualified to confirm or contest your evaluation/understanding, it does ring a few bells with tidbits I knew).
Every time I am reminded of this, I have to do a deep dive into it again. Its so weird how we know basically nothing about it.
When will I die? Will help priotize the time I have left. Not knowing almost let’s me procrastinate on some things even though I don’t want to. Like saving for retirement if i ont get to live to that and use it I would spend more money on occasions with family and friends.

Why don’t BMW drivers use their indicators?
Why would you ask a question that you already know the answer to?
You won’t like the answer.
Because in the manual those are explicitly described as just light testers to make sure the bulbs are working. That’s why they blink too.
You don’t use them for any other purpose.
