Why do forums bash you for reviving old threads, and then bash you for opening new ones?
If the object of a forum is to have discussions with others about something you're interested in, why is it that no one wants to talk about anything for which a thread already exists? I've talked about the same topic more than once in real life, and I feel just fine.
I think it's counterproductive.
1 AnswerEtiquette10 years agoHow can I tell if my glasses were made properly?
I could see just fine before, and according to the standard I was checked by, I don't need glasses to do my job, which is weld inspection, but the optometrist said I needed to be wearing glasses anyway because my eyes weren't working together.
Now my eyes can relax, and the right one will be in focus, and the left one fuzzy. It feels like I'm training my left eye to get weak, and I'm just relying on my right eye because it's easier that way. I've been wearing these glasses for two weeks now.
Thanks in advance.
3 AnswersOptical1 decade agoWhat makes popping noises in bones if not nitrogen?
Because I can pop the same joint over and over again, and I hardly think that a nitrogen gas bubble is building up within the split second between pops, just so it can collapse again.
That's the current theory behind the popping sound, but it doesn't seem to hold up. Any news?
I'm a musician and I worry about my fingers.
1 AnswerBiology1 decade agoCan you please answer in the silliest way possible?
I need the goofballs, the unappreciated jokesters, the people who don't know when to quit, the people who are frustrated with a boring world, the huddled masses of poor unfortunate comedians who always have to stop joking before they want to because the people around them are anal and don't appreciate any kind of humor that you wouldn't hear on the news.
Give no thumbs down to any honest attempt people! This is an open mike for offbeat humor. By offbeat I don't mean explicit jokes, or anything you're going to hear from every slobbering drunk. I want the original thinkers, the practical joke inventors, the angry oppressed humorists who simply aren't allowed to properly express themselves.
I want anecdotes, stupid advice, asinine "what ifs", random fragments like, "The crows seem to be calling my name, thought Caw."
I want both barrels! *pant...pant...* I want stuff I can send to everyone I know and say, "Look at the crazy stuff people said when I told them to let fly! XD"
Take your time, I will read every post thoroughly so it doesn't matter if you're first.
LET IT BEGIN!
And if no one answers, well that would be funny too, seeing as how much work I've put into this question.
9 AnswersCommunity Service1 decade agoCould this be the cutest puppy picture ever?
I'm not the kind of guy that would ask thousands of people if they think a puppy is cute, unless I were to come across an epic pic. I'm not even really a dog person either. But just this once...
11 AnswersDogs1 decade agoWas anyone else mad at the squirrel when he chose an acorn over love in Ice Age 3?
Or the writers for coming up with that questionable ending?
I for one, was disappointed!
4 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhen someone edits their answer, are you informed of it as the asker?
I'd like to know if there is any point in updating my answers when I come across more information later. If you're not informed of it, do you ever look over your answers again? Would you notice the change?
Thank you.
1 AnswerYahoo Answers1 decade agoWhere can I find sunflower seeds in extreme flavors?
I've been pouring season salt and chili powder into my sunflower seeds. I like extreme flavors. Except for the dill pickle flavor, and I already have Jalapeno flavor.
I'm looking for something like...I don't know... curry flavor or something. I want to find a site that sells foreign flavors. Pungent stuff.
