What would you ask a truth genie?

[Vulcan 3,254]

So let's say one day you come across  a truth genie, which would be like a regular genie except rather than granting 3 wishes... It will answer any one question correctly.  

What question would you ask it and why? 

[Ventius 39]

Does the straight friend of mine I have feelings for also harbor feelings for me?

Why would I ask this? Because I'm desperately in love with him, and I want him to be mine.

I'd ask him if I'd ever find love. 

 

Because I'd love to know.

[Driz 1,552]

I would ask it: "Yes or No: Will the next word you say be 'no'?"

And then I'd just... watch what happens.

Does P = NP

Is this statement false?

What are the first 10^6 primes?

No, forget that. What are next week's Power Ball numbers?

[Twilight Dirac 721]

How can I travel faster than the speed of light?

[Krampus 197]

Will I be remembered in history? By anyone important?

What would be my cause of death.

[FluffyGoat13 375]

Where can I find a genie that gives me three wishes?

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

Is my life worth living?

[Cash In 22,356]

I'd ask this genie whether any aspect of my life would pick up. 

Why exactly? It would save me the trouble of being sour, when my hopes come crashing down. 

[SkyPie 261]

Why does my sister hate me?

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I'd ask it if my boyfriend is really "the one" as in, would we really stay together and get married, are we really meant to be, etc.

I think maybe I'd ask how long I'll live. If I had a clear timeline to work with, I think I could do better with the time I have. 

Then again, maybe I'd just ask him for a word that rhymes with 'orange' and watch him struggle with that. 

 

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

Probably if I'd ever make friends. I don't want to grow old alone.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,682]

My question would be:

What do I need to do to successfully become an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent goddess with what I realistically have at my disposal?

Sporange. Rare alternative version of sporangium.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,345]

Nothing, honestly. Or at least nothing personal. I think life would be better if you take a wait-and-see approach instead of knowing something for certain about the future... less to worry about.

Hmm... now for a silly question!

How about “purple” or “silver”... oh wait those do have rhymes

How about “wolf”?

Wait, what? I was just about to ask my genie @Treeglow Flicker for a rhyme for 'silver' but you say there's already a rhyme for it? Maybe I'll make you my next honorary genie (if you come up with the goods!)  

No pressure, no pressure...

[Twiggy 2,966]

What is the correct religion?

If the answer is anything other than none, then it is probably the most important question.

[Fluttershutter 2,489]

It always amuses me that the people think jinn(“genies“) exist to grant wishes.

Anyway, the obvious question is what are next weeks lottery numbers.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,477]

Are we alone in the universe?  

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

I'd ask how to contact alien life forms.

[J.J 923]

I'd probably ask for a definitive location of the world's largest human trafficking/child sex ring, or some type of relative piece of information that would objectively make the world a better place, I could put my pride aside and not ask if the U.S government worked in a Massad operation to destroy the twin towers, or whether or not the U.S government had anything to do with creating Covid 19, or whether or not the FBI participated in their own fake insurrection attempt on Jan.6, or why are we becoming some authoritarian capitalistic corporate socialism? Did Joe Biden REALLY win? We know he didn't,  I have a lot of questions, but I wouldn't waste my one question trying to divulge into a personal witch hunt, when there is more useful information than just the names of ppl that we only know visited an island... Where, how, or why, questions, can all be a waste, most "why" questions can literally be answered  with "because" in absolution, there is no need to elaborate on something that is just relative to current circumstances and sometimes asking this question will make you seem very unintelligent and or even of childlike comprehension and ultimately, why questions don't give you closure when you get these type of answers nor will they give you a sense of profound wisdom unless asking a question like"why was the universe created?" And when getting the answer (which you may not like because there is more than one), and an over simplification without an elaboration will make you feel like to serve this life's purpose almost any other question would have been more worth asking than what this self decided purpose is... Where and How questions not coated in riddle but rather marked in precise detail are very useful questions to ask, but if you don't choose your words carefully and extend or elaborate on your own question almost upon asking it, than you won't get the DETAILS you need to completely answer these questions, and if a genie is giving you a literal magic DIY on existential/literal truths in absolution, and how to solve these problems, bc if you just ask where someone is, they can say and be truthful, "under a big tree, in a town" uuugh, you need DETAILS.. but also jokingly I'd ask Hasbro why Flurry Heart was created, and why ppl like princess Luna, nah these would be wasted questions, answers I already know and don't like. Lol (x) questions, WILL THIS SERIES OF MY FAVORITE SHOW EVER RETURN OR GET A REBOOT, you will be sad if he says no lol

What is the private key of the largest (as in with the most money) bitcoin address where:
1. The owner has mines BTC, got bored and forgot about it, but there are no other transactions.
2. The owner has completely lost his key and even forgot the address.
3. Nobody else knows who that address belongs to and there is no evidence (old log files etc) linking that address to the real owner.

There are other good questions (some on this thread even), but I could probably be able to use the answer to this one the easiest.

If the genie can predict the future accurately, asking for the winning lottery numbers would also be useful, probably would result in less money, but easier to explain it.

There are also questions where the answer would be useful, but only if I get the right answer (for example - I could ask how to get immortality and eternal youth and health, but I may get an answer that it is impossible or would get the way to do it, but it would be impossible to do in practice).
