Speak every language because that includes animals.

djin gets visibly angry

Also, humans are animals, so speaking to every animal includes all human languages.

Counterpoint: what if a French person flirts with you and you end up falling for them

You can speak to every animal. Having them understand or talk back is a different matter

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The result is the same. Sooner or later, one of the animals is bound to respond favorably.

Ah, thats just a matter of semantics

Well obviously sophisticated people like you and I are above the rest of those primate mammal scum. 🎩🧐

Every language includes animal language

Technically passes the Harkness test, it only took completely and wholly altering reality

For those unaware (came here to post it, but you beat me to it, so...):

Harkness test guide image, please check whole article on knowyourmeme though i think it also does not have proper alt text

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it has a greater than human intelligence, and the Test implies the floor for consent is your own species limitations, doesn't that mean it's violating our consent?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Idk, depends on if that "greaterness" raises the bar for consent or introduces new/other limiting concepts, and their culture in general. Maybe they are extremely strict or the opposite, fuck everything that moves. I'd believe it's up to their own Harkness test to decide, after all, they have "greater" intelligence.

Easy. Every language. Some foreigner from another country talks shit about me? Be prepared to be verbally assaulted back in your native tongue. Probably never happened, but it's definitely a scenario I wish would for that exact reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Imagine if by language result to understanding a frequency sent by aliens long gone. What we used to consider noise would suddenly become a nightmare we hear everyday since it just keeps repeating the same exact message. Talking about extending a warranty for a car.

reminds me of the book series Spellsinger by Alan Dean Foster.

It's a Rachel and Tobias situation!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Go for it. The problem with bestiality is informed consent, IMO. If you can hold a full conversation with an animal where it shows its understanding of the situation and consents and you won't damage each other, who cares what you do?
