Speak every language because that includes animals.
djin gets visibly angry
- Also, humans are animals, so speaking to every animal includes all human languages.
  
  The game was rigged from the start
- Damn straight. Its the same thing.

Every language includes animal language
- Also, every animal includes humans

Counterpoint: what if a French person flirts with you and you end up falling for them
- T'as de beaux yeux tu sais ?
  
  Mon dieu!

You can speak to every animal. Having them understand or talk back is a different matter
- Ah, thats just a matter of semantics
- The result is the same. Sooner or later, one of the animals is bound to respond favorably.

Bee Movie (2007)

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...):
  
  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?

Humans are animals tho?
- Speak for yourself!
  
  Well obviously sophisticated people like you and I are above the rest of those primate mammal scum. 🎩🧐

I can already speak to every animal. It's them speaking back that's the problem.
- It’s just gonna be animals constantly yelling about food and sex.
  
  Sounds like college.

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.

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.

It's a Rachel and Tobias situation!

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?

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