What was life like for ever human that has ever existed? I'd like to see every single day start to finish from their perspective, sorted as randomly as possible.

The worst part of traditional immortality is being stuck as you, I'd like to experience the entire library and range of human experinces. It would eventually know how it started and how it all ended, while seeing every perspective that got us there. They'd be a lot of days toiling in a field, a lot of days in office cubicles toiling in excel, but most importantly I'd see the small victories and tragedies that make up every life. I think that'd be the real beauty.

I'd pick an irrational number, say pi, and ask for every decimal digit of it. Then, I have infinite time to walk around the world in explore mode (i.e. I can't die, and hence don't need to eat etc..., and am effectively an infinite energy source, and can interact with objects) while time is frozen. This effectively makes me a god, but only for one point in time, with the ability to create a discontinuity in the world state at that point. I'd travel around the whole world (even if it involved swimming oceans) and try to make it so that the infinite sum of each action I take while the world is frozen converges on a world that is in a much better state infinitesimally after the moment compared to infinitesimally before.

Was I ever a good impact on someone else's life?

Simple and sweet. Let's you go to the next thing either with your head held high or knowing for sure if you just lived and died.

What was the point?

is p != np

By what mechanism did the universe come to be, or if it simply always existed, why does it exist in this particular way with these particular laws?

"Can I see the moments when I made other people feel good/better?" or to know what people i helped and how

Why do hotdogs come in packs of ten while hotdog buns come in packs of six?

Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite, would you like a toasted tea-cake?

This kinda just feels like "what single question would you ask ChatGPT if it was omniscient" so my mind is just getting lost in the arcane and complex structuring and restructuring of the question to get the answer you want rather than one that literally answers the exact question you asked.

Assuming though that you actually do just get the answer to the intent and spirit of your question the only rational one I can think of would have to be some variation of:

"What answer could you give me that would offer me the most peace, contentment and sense of resolution to my life?"

Otherwise I'd spend an eternity (or however long I'd have to consider my question) pondering how to ask that question without getting an accurate and correct response like:

"A really good one."

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What is the diagnosis and cure for the disease that has ravaged me for the last 13 years?

Thanks.

Assuming other implications (existence of an afterlife and God) with this scenario I would have but one question. Why? Why everything? Honestly I would be mad furious if there was an afterlife. More so if there was a God.

I would want to know if I could have accomplished anything different that I did. Could I have been a super successful NFL quarterback? Could I have been a lawyer? Could I have been president of the United States? Could I have been a rockstar or a movie star? Could I have been a bodybuilder? Could I have been a New York times best-selling novelist? I would like to know all the possibilities of what I might have been. I would like to see them lived out, what it looked like, what steps were taken, what decisions were made. Given the limited raw intelligence I had, the genetic potential of my physical body, what was the most I could have done with it?

Starting right now, how can I preserve my personal conscious existence until I'm ready to no longer exist?

What's really the meaning of life - like are we really just a cosmic roll of the dice going through an at most ambivalent universe?

What caused the bronze age collapse and are we socially overdue for a similar one?

“Why?”

Nah, I'm good

How does priority work in MtG?

In actuality though I'd probably kick up a reincarnation loop by asking for the full experience of every living and inanimate thing the universe has to hold, starting with everyone/everything I ever interacted with and branching exponentially from there.

Who is your daddy, and what does he do?

What are the 23 flavours in Dr. Pepper?

Is the Standard Model correct or is there a single fundamental particle/string/anything that we haven't discovered yet?

How much lost money have I walked past in my life and not noticed.. can also include gold.

Will our efforts in philosophy ever lead to a non-circular answer to the worth of life? I.e. will mankind ever create or find its purpose?

I would probably ask the question to whoever give this option to me. Probably something like "Tell me about yourself in the most detailed way".

"What's next?"

What happened to the other species of humans? Would they like metal? The first question can be ignored if both are not allowed

After I'm gone, how would everyone I've loved remember me?

What was the single thing I did that had the last direct impact on myself, that had the greatest lasting impact on anyone else?

Things like spending the extra time one day making a cup of coffee made it so this specific person was stuck behind my slow-ass speed limit driving, averting what would've been a multi-car pileup or some shit like that.

I feel like it would probably be something about Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem. That thing is really annoying.

Although I feel I might get stuck in a recursive answer if I ask the wrong thing. So maybe I would ask something about a loved one, that I already know the answer to.

When I die my first question to the Devil will be: What is the meaning of the fine structure constant?

Do it squirt?

I would rather have one wish granted and live just long enough to see it happen.

Over or under?
