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?

[–] proton_lynx 19 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 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 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ah fair enough lol

Flings himself off the cliff

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 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

[–] chetradley 11 points 5 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.

[–] hakunawazo 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

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

What's your favorite color, though?

[–] hakunawazo 7 points 5 months ago

Blue? No yell...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What have I got in my pocket?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 10 points 5 months ago

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

[–] ripcord 5 points 5 months ago

He was at the north pole.

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

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.

[–] chetradley 19 points 5 months ago

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

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

[–] ripcord 1 points 5 months ago

Also time. Answer is time.

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Frog in a blender.

[–] evidences 8 points 5 months ago

Time, wait light, no a hole!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A really really fast-moving light.

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

Running around a black hole

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

What's blue and goes round and round?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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?)
