Tell me all the digits in Pi or some other irrational number so that I can get pseudo eternal life.
Since we have a wish-granting entity then that means the supernatural is somewhat real and I use my newfound time as well as the frozen world to learn everything I wanted and possible ascend beyond humanity.
Assuming you aren't just forced to stay and listen to the numbers of Pi for the rest of infinity.
You're dead, you wouldn't just be allowed to walk around.
Yes there's several who thought of that answer already. The point of this post isn't cheating death or showing how smart you are for finding a loophole in my post wording. It's only your mind active in this scenario. You might as well just ask to know everything in existence. I don't see how you get to the ascension part anyway, you can only absorb the answers you look for, you don't get time and space to do anything with it.
My point still stands even if its modified a bit.
Knowing everything in existence is just merging with the universe which isn't what I want. I want my ego to still exist, even if only temporarily. I don't want to go from human -> THE ALL, I want to follow the path with the extra time I was given.
If I don't get time and space then it doesn't matter what I ask anyway as I'd be dead before I got to appreciate the answer. "Oh what's the secret of the universe?" But then I'm dead before I even get to think about what it means. May as well just ask what's on TV tomorrow because I wouldn't get anything from it.
I don't think you get the intent of this post, but hey, whatever works for you.
I don't think you understand that getting some hokey answers when you do an asklemmy thread about the supernatural is par for the course.
I do, just checking you were aware that was your case
