What is the name of your least favorite child?

In what year did you abandon your dreams?

What is the maiden name of your father’s mistress?

At what age did your childhood pet run away?

What was the name of your favorite unpaid internship?

In what city did you first experience ennui?

What is your ex-wife’s newest last name?

What sports team do you fetishize to avoid meaningful discussion with others?

What is the name of your favorite canceled TV show?

What was the middle name of your first rebound?

On what street did you lose your childlike sense of wonder?

When did you stop trying?

These are not Nihilistic. Nihilist don’t care because it doesn’t matter anyway.

The Nihilist wouldn’t see the need for a password because the universe is so random that that it could not be predicted so why bother?

True. A nihilist’s response to anything
is, “What difference does it make?”

A pet peeve of mine. I hate any password security system that doesn’t allow you to choose your questions.

I love security questions. I always, as in every time, answer with a random one word answer - the question is irrelevant to me. Answers are stored in an encrypted container, which is then encrypted in a different, second container - each has a password over 50 characters in length with special characters, numbers, capital and small letters.

I suggest the following answer to them all, and use this on any and all silly butt question gathering places:
‘I don’t know”
in any vernacular that suits you, but that you can remember without looking in your written ‘log of answers for websites’.

So, you're saying, "What difference does it make?"

If you have to ask it means you might have it. And as a bonus question what song sung by,among others,Sinatra, includes the word ennui?
