Based on the "I run but..." it's most likely a river, no?

Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

  1. What is your name?

  2. What is your favorite color?

  3. What is the solution to the Hodge Conjecture?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

What is you favorite color? Blue. No yel... Ahhhhhgh!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Classy.
Living Colour.
I have no fucking idea (didn't say I had to provide a solution, just a reply).

(didn't say I had to provide a solution, just a reply).

I literally said "what is the solution to..." 🤨

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You said answer these questions. The answer to the question is I don't know

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah fair enough lol

Flings himself off the cliff

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Isn't that just a reply and not am answer?

I run but never leave your sight.
You can follow me if you think you're right.
Hold me closed to alter your voice.
You may pick me, but I'm yours without choice.

Edit: don't know how to do the spoiler that and don't want to spoil it for everyone else

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Here's a table of markdown formatting that Lemmy supports. Unfortunately, not every Lemmy client supports all of the formatting, meaning some people may still see the spoiler regardless.

Reminds me of Sad But True.

Unless it's nothing.

What have I got in my pocket?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

A man. Crawls on their hands and feet as a child, then walks on two legs, then uses a cane.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

He was at the north pole.

Wait, no, he was in a plane and jumped to his death!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No no no, it's all about airspeed velocity.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's your favorite color, though?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Blue? No yell...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This thing all things devours;

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron, bites steel;

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town,

And beats mountain down.

Oh, you're talking about Targ the Ruthless! That dude is a beast!

Not unless it's also combined with a lot of time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Also time. Answer is time.

What's green and red and goes round and round?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Frog in a blender.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Time, wait light, no a hole!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A really really fast-moving light.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Running around a black hole

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

What's blue and goes round and round?

Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid

(Who am I?)
