@OliveOlivia
#1 Past. To change my mind about some things.
#2 Everything I tried a hand at
#3 A pool of water. Wow.
#4 ---
"Whats the best thing about Switzerland?"
"I dont know, but the flag is a big plus."
#5 Crepe. This is hard. A character from a lot of fictions mixed together cause I like a little bit of everything.
#6 Jokes. Funny scenes. Funny moments. Anything considered funny, really.
#7 A lot of things are overrated. Don't ask me why. IDK. They just are.
#8 A magical place where I talk to strangers that I'll never recognize if I ever walk past them at a street or something.

@OliveOlivia said in Eights Questions:

1. If you had a time machine would you visit the past or the future? Why?

The future, to gain some knowledge which would enable me to acquire a position of wealth/power I could then use to halt and hopefully reverse the coming cataclysm

2. What do you wish you were really good at?

Reading and interpreting signals as applied to me on an interpersonal level

3. If you could jump into a pool of something, what would it be?

Wine gums

4. Whats your favorite joke?

What's green and smells like blue paint? Green paint

5. If you could be a fictional character who would you be? Why?

Doctor Manhattan. The power to fix pretty much everything, prevent wars before they begin, solve the energy crisis, develop total understanding of the universe, travel anywhere and see everything, pause time...

6. What kind of things really make you laugh?

Silliness, absurdity, surrealism. Wit before humour. Dad jokes. Joy.

7. What is something that you think is overrated? Why do you think that?

Meme culture. I enjoy a good meme as much as anybody but I must emphasise GOOD. It has become too easy for any talentless schmuck to stick some words on an irrelevant picture and get applauded as clever for it. There is a plethora of truly shit memes out there people insist on sharing, typically where someone has just noticed they can switch a letter or word in a well-known phrase for something similar sounding. This does not make it automatically humorous or smart...

8. How do you feel about TWS?

The random chat bit I've used for a couple of years? It's alright, I've had some software issues but it's useful enough. This community aspect? I'm undecided although there are many things I like - ask me again in a while when I've been here more than a couple of weeks

would you try to change anything?

2. What do you wish you were really good at?

Picking up girls or swimming.

I take it you have weak arms?

3. If you could jump into a pool of something, what would it be?

Money

Plot twist: The pool of money is filled with only coins, enjoy swimming through that!

4. Whats your favorite joke?

Someone being serious on the internet.

5. If you could be a fictional character who would you be? Why?

Courage the dog, why???

7. What is something that you think is overrated? Why do you think that?

K-pop.

I agree, no explanation need.

8. How do you feel about TWS?

It isnt how it used to be. Like a second home to me lol. Now i just visit it when im bored.

Im sorry, how do you think it can feel like home again?

1. future, so I'd stop worrying so much about what will happen...
2. interacting with people
3. water duh
4. I have no memory for jokes
5. Nope, I want to be real
6. Clever, surprising, but somehow obvious things... aka. Humor
7. the modern idea of "having fun", e.g. "cool parties", consuming entertainment and the like. That's just boring. I like meaningful things as in meaningful conversations, being close to the people I love, laughing about life, having kids, these things.
8. Great place to come out of your shell, talk to an incredibly diverse group of people (as in nationality, upbringing, ideas, philosophies, religions, etc.). However get's kinda stressful often for me

I think both are good. Too much partying isn't healthy but being too serious is no fun, I think a good mix of both is what we all need!

Why do you get stressed and what kind of stress do you mean ?

[Matt_Aranha]

@OliveOlivia That's an awesome question

I don't for one moment imagine it would be easy. I trust myself enough to be confident I'd cope far better than most. Would it eventually break me? Only time would tell, but if I felt it getting too much I believe I'd be self-aware enough to put myself on a time out and remove myself from the situation (i.e. planet).

@OliveOlivia said in Eight Questions:

Thats the number one rule of time travel - you cannot change the past or the future.

I take it you have weak arms?

yeah you know me too well.

Plot twist: The pool of money is filled with only coins, enjoy swimming through that!

Id love smth like this.

Courage the dog, why???

"Courage is a timid pink dog with paranoia problems. His owners are an old couple living on a farm full of bizarre adversaries. Courage must overcome his fear and help save his owners, Eustace and Muriel, from ghosts and paranormal spirits living on the farm."

I wanna overcome some of my fears too I guess lol.
Apart from that,I find him a cool character.

I agree, no explanation need.

THANK YOUUU.

Im sorry, how do you think it can feel like home again?

It cant be...that time is gone. May be bearable if all the people come back.

8

[OliveOlivia]

@Matt_Aranha Is that something Doctor Manhattan would do?

[OliveOlivia]

@Exhale Oh yes! Ovaries are soOoOoOoOoOo overrated
What would you do as God?

[Matt_Aranha]

@OliveOlivia Not necessarily for reasons of altruism or wellbeing, but I think so.

[[[global:former-user]]]

@OliveOlivia hmm maybe i would imagine myself as a biological creature that is ignorant of the fact that it's God

I think partying isn't bad. It's just kinda empty, or maybe just that: overrated. Nobody said meaningful had to be serious. Ever played with a kid? That's totally meaningful. And in no way serious

Why do you get stressed and what kind of stress do you mean?

Kind of an overload and then also the feeling I don't get other things done...

You can change the future! In fact we are traveling forward in time every day, and we shape the future through our decisions When astronauts move closer to the speed of light they even actually travel faster than the rest of us. Just not backwards
