If I were to give my own commentary on each one…

1. Humanity probably won’t go interstellar like that. It’s quite established, to my knowledge, that nothing can travel faster than light. Anyone who ever remotely suggests otherwise in this day and age is trying to sell you something. The amount of lightyears you look in a direction is how long ago you’re seeing it from. If we could travel faster than that, it would be odd that we cannot view galaxies from afar at the same speed. And that is arguably for the best, considering faster-than-light travel allowed Palpatine to take over the Star Wars galaxy. The universe is, in other words, federated. If that’s a good way to put it, we probably weren’t meant to visit other galaxies. It would be like God’s safety measure.
2. We can still help you achieve a good time and make up for what was lost. It doesn’t have to be in the form of a childhood, whose definition is debatable anyways.
3. The way I see it… everyone has “secrets” (and some lie about it, while with others it’s just “secrets”). Trade secrets. Family secrets. Embarrassing secrets. It’s 2025 and we still don’t even know Victoria’s secret. The government is just another piece of the tradition. It’s kind of hard to imagine someone interrogating someone asking “what are your secrets”. It’s better to find gaps and then look for what people might have said about it.
4. I mean, the question of the origin of the universe is metaphysical, which is not bound by such a physical question. I have such an answer I cling to, though easily I understand it’s still a matter of interpretation.
5. If the world isn’t real, it means there is something external to it. Morty, if you’re reading this, you probably think you’re some random lemming who quotes our adventures; you’re actually trapped inside a broken Blipz N Chitz game, where I’m sending this message to in order to try to reach you, and I will get you out of there as soon as I beat my ski ball high score.
6. Same here. Avatar Seven Havens was just announced. I’ll have cosplayed as Avatar Pavi in my art collections another five times already by the time it’s out considering they announced a 2027 release date. They’re really wanting to stretch my tolerance of life for that long, eh?
7. The only remarkable moment I know of from a technology being invented is that the first travelling hot air balloon was struck down by French peasants who thought it was a monster.

Quicksand would be like any fluid, even if it’s thicker. Things still sink in it. It’s a matter of denseness. Floating is not some kind of default.

Who is Elabo?

TIL people experience this. I thought it was just something those with spatial deafness experience. I never have interpreted a sound as coming from something just because it looked like it was moving or talking.

The irony that this was ever seen as an issue while the rest of the world makes a meme out of the fact Scooby passes the harkness test.

How did all this pass the censors?

Quicksand is still a danger, even if it doesn’t work as some people might imagine.

The bit about throwing one’s voice was often used when I was younger as a possible explanation for mystics inviting spirits into the room. So that’s not actually a thing?

Who isn’t these days?

World domination.

“I love you.”

I guess one might say no chicken as per religious requirements. Other than that, not really anything.

Nothing right now. Just maintenance for now. Nothing really excites me, a mood that’s been around for a while.

Not a particular phrase, but I’d like if people asked more questions, even if they sound like stupid questions, than to assume the answer.

That, and the issue of the jedi.

I was supposed to present in front of the class in the auditorium and my BF at the time was hospitalized. He was the popular guy and I wasn’t (and am still not) a popular student, so when I got done presenting, everyone started yelling questions which all amounted to “why couldn’t it be you”. I was so terrified I remember I froze up and yanked one of the curtains down in fear since there was no running. A teacher had to brush my curtain-huddled self off the stage while I cried.

In one sense of the word, maybe, but would you talk about it at the dinner table holding a family of six?
