At what point, and how, did the father implant the data into the kid...?

It's one of the bonuses for the spell Ceremony.

REPL is "Read-Eval-Print Loop", not "realtime programming loop" btw.

Why did your dad leave a README in your home dir? Is your home directory a git repo, or was he just trying to get your attention?

Reply to comment by PatiThePurplePenguin in [WP] You live in a world where the normal life expectancy is 32 and people start dying of old age after 40. One day, you find out that people used to live more than 100 years. by aciakatura
So if my math of 365* 4 *persons age on this calendar then divided by 365 to get it back into our years that would make the daughter 16 and the mum 100 I think

Reply to comment by Agile_Wishbone3963 in [WP] Your 3 wishes were to live forever, to always have what you need, and to free the genie. The genie and you then enjoy life for a long time, until he goes his own way. Billions of years later, the genie comes back to see how you're doing, and offers you another 3 wishes, just for old time's sake by chacham2
Thank you for the comment! I do understand, it is a bittersweet story.

Cute.

Is that a real bonus for married characters in D&D? I never played.

THE GODS THEMSELVES
For a moment, I was shocked. I managed to get everything clear in my mind. I was… I was not real. I was totally programmed.
I looked around. The river was running, towards the equator on the endless sloping land. I was here to get some leisure time, I was just too busy as an engineer. But turns out I wasn’t even here.
So where was I if I was not on Dyson Sphere 42? And… what was I?
Am I some kind of toy of God? Of the programmer of me?
But all these just felt so real, I was born here on Dyson Sphere 42. I was used to living on the shell of our sun.
Before I could get myself together, the nature of being a software engineer make me take a glance at the other side of the wall. A simple word as "console" just sent me a key to the real world.
I was expecting some kind of God. They should be smarter, stronger, and more powerful than my kind. I was a normal human being, born in 3023, living on Dyson Sphere 42, and was both thrilled and scared to meet some civilization higher than mine.
To be honest, I was expecting at least a type III civilization.
However – I couldn’t trust my eyes – what was in front of me was a crowd of… ancient people. They were pure nerds, with heavy glasses, flannel shirts, and clumpy antique laptops.
They didn’t realize that I was there, that I was watching them.
“How is your experiment going?”
“Running well. I’m making a beautiful model of Dyson Sphere.”
“Yeah, I love that. Just imagine what a type II civilization will be like!”
​
FYI, we human beings are not even a type I civilization so far. Know more about Dyson Sphere, check SciFidea.
