A genie appears! It's not the traditional three wish kind, but the genie is infinitely wise and
informs you he will answer one question that you ask him, no matter what it is. What would you ask?

Thats a really hard question. I guess that, being who I am today, I'd ask how to best protect the girl I love.

Honestly though I'd be tempted to ask plenty of other things though. Things that I should have asked instead but didn't, like the cure for cancer, or how to help more people accept our community as it is.

Its hard to decide on one question when you have to answer to anything at your fingertips.

I would cheat and ask how to get powers that are probably not acquirable but might seem possible in the context of a reality that includes genies. If I couldn't cheat like that I would probably still ask for something weasely, like I'd ask to know what question I should be asking. Even if that used up my question it would be a valuable signpost. Unless the answer was as vague as my question. Nevermind. I have no idea.

I feel like we already have the answers or a path to the answers to most questions we are capable of asking, so this is a really difficult thought experiment. Maybe I would ask what the practical limits on human longevity are, or how to realistically maximize quality of life in living humans.

I would ask him what road to take to be successful in my branch. Maybe really selfish but if all he does is answering, you first have to take action yourself anyway for anything to come true. Just as well ask something for myself then > _ <.

Will I ever marry a wonderful man who will love and respect me as a true woman. 

Does the little light in my fridge stay on when I close the door?

I'd probably say 'huh?' and it would count as my one question

Btw btw! The light goes off but if you would doubt it, put a camera inside or put your phone on record, lay it inside and close the door ?

My one question would have to be "WHY ?? "

"What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?!"

Of course, his answer may simply be 42.

What can I be doing better in my life?

That is the best thing you can learn.

What are next weeks lottery numbers?

I would ask....  Why?

And no doubt the answer would be, "Because!"

Alice:

You and a lot of other people would.

However the pot would be so small, that we would be lucky to get one penny(maybe?)

What is the question to everything.

How can my feet smell if they don't have a nose?
