It was more of a rhetorical cry of despair than a question, tbh,
That’s okay … so was my answer really.
Nevertheless … cynicism/nihilism/despair on behalf of everyone else is not a luxury to which I am entitled, so … however much I may be convinced I’m pissing into the wind … I feel morally bound to seek answers that may be of benefit and expound upon them for the sake of posterity — who knows … one day, someone, somewhere might read them and (unlikely though it may seem to me now) run with them and actually achieve what I couldn’t.

… and leaves you no actual food to eat when they go … again!

Indeed.
What I need to spend my one wish upon is the power to turn people into decent human beings.
What I (ironically) wish I could spend it on, however, is one of these
… set to Fatal Intestinal Maelstrom!
Sadly, no such device exists in the real world.
Nor would I, as I observed, be able to wish for it, even if it did.
But a man can dream, can he not? 😀
