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 4 weeks ago

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

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 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

What is X in the Hodge Conjecture?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

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 4 weeks 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.

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

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

What's your favorite color, though?

Blue? No yell...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

What have I got in my pocket?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Also time. Answer is time.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago

Frog in a blender.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Time, wait light, no a hole!

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

A really really fast-moving light.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Running around a black hole

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

What's blue and goes round and round?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

I'm sorry but the answer was an "egg".

Pulls out glock

Time to clear the way!

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?)
