Will you share your random Fluther topics?

Asked by jonsblond (43668points) February 11th, 2011

Each time you visit your profile a new set of 4 topics appear (if you have more than 4 topics listed in your profile).

I thought this would be a fun way to get to know each other and see what topics (if any) we might have in common.

Only list the 4 topics provided without clicking on ‘see all’.

My 4 topics: zombies, photography, coffee, parenting

Observing members: 0 Composing members: 0

My topics are on my profile, I’m not sure what you are asking.

Berserker's avatar

Zombies, vampires, movies, PlayStation. Also, Xena. And then, more zombies.

Lol that would be cool if I just wrote zombies over and over as my topics, it would be like an invasion!

TexasDude's avatar

Adventuring, microscopes, Tennessee, lucid dreaming.

incendiary_dan's avatar

Consensus, freedom, plant, indigenous peoples.

Actually, that’s a pretty good representation of me.

@YARNLADY, it’s like a game. Every time you view your public Fluther profile, four of your topics are randomly selected. For instance, when I click your name and view your profile, San Diego, home school, Designing, and education come up. If I refresh the page, a different set of four random topics pops up. Jonsblond is interested in these as a sort of “get to know ya” game.

All fluther says, over and over and over is “Add topics to your profile, and we’ll be able to give you interesting questions!” I’m sick of hearing it, honestly. At least drop the exclamation point, for god’s sake. I’ve been here over two years and haven’t added any topics. You can’t still be that excited about it, can you fluther? Aren’t you a little tired of saying it at this point? Doesn’t the exclamation point ring more than a little hollow for you too by now? :-)

jonsblond's avatar

@lillycoyote go bitch at Twitter why don’t ya. Maybe they’ll here you there. :P

lillycoyote's avatar

@jonsblond 134 characters, or whatever they hell they do over there, doesn’t allow me anywhere near a long enough bitch. You should know that little about me by now, at least. :-) This is me on twitter, btw. I didn’t find the place particularly compelling.

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

LOL, that is an awesome Twitter page.

lillycoyote's avatar

@ANef_is_Enuf I suppose I could have put more effort into it but I didn’t see the point. I guess I just don’t really get Twitter.

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

@lillycoyote hilarious, though. I really did laugh out loud.

lillycoyote's avatar

@ANef_is_Enuf Good. @jonsblond wants to send me there and as you can see, I’m just not cut out for the place. Please talk to her.

jonsblond's avatar

@lillycoyote I lurve ya. Please stay. As long as you like zombies and coffee.

lillycoyote's avatar

@jonsblond I love zombies and coffee, I just need to know: are the zombies trying to distract me and catch me off guard? I’m just such a sucker for a zombie serving me coffee in bed. I have a shovel and a tire iron and multiple, miscellaneous pieces of rebar, at the ready, to obliterate their skulls, et al., Am I going to be essentially sucker punched here? Are you setting a trap?

DominicX's avatar

clothing, musicals, shoes, Japan

What am I, some kind of flaming faggot? :P

YARNLADY's avatar

Mensa, crafts, homeschool, children

rooeytoo's avatar

New York City, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Virginia

They aren’t topics, they are places I have lived, among others. Wonder why they appear as topics for me. I went to “see all” and they threw in DC which is another place I have lived and tennis, which is a subject I am interested in but is rarely discussed in Fluther.

@DominicX -shoes??? are you a shoe freak? Really how many different kinds of shoes are there for guys, even gay guys interested in their wardrobe, you must enlighten me please.

augustlan's avatar

@rooeytoo When we got the new profiles all of the places we’ve lived were converted into topics.

rooeytoo's avatar

@augustlan – thanks, I guess I better add some new topics, having only geographical locations kind of limits my scope, heheheh.

Cruiser's avatar

Guitar, Human Nature, Yoga, Cars….big surprise huh? lol!
2nd time… Cars, Human Nature, Yoga, Group Think, there are actually 2 other Jellies in Group Think! I wonder what we are thinking!! XD

JilltheTooth's avatar

Coffee, single parenting, cooking, dogs. Looks like we need to get together, @jonsblond to explore our mutual coffee mania…

MissAnthrope's avatar

Writing, paganism, history, camping.

Very random.

chyna's avatar

Rain, WV, death, beaches.

bobbinhood's avatar

Montana, hunting, backpacking, cooking

I was inclined to think that any set of topics that exluded math wouldn’t be a very good discription of me, but this one actually did pretty well.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

Mountains, beards, coffee, and zombies.

Not necessarily in that order, mind you. :)

ucme's avatar

Just for fun, games, movies, & play. I’m a childish bastard so I am :¬)

Seaofclouds's avatar

cooking, music, saving money, books

cockswain's avatar

Gin, Seahorse porn, martial arts, The Green Bay Frickin Packers (I think I’m the only one on the site using the last one).

EDIT: oops, I just noticed I was only supposed to list the ones if I didn’t click “see all.” I though I was supposed to cherry-pick the weird ones. But I’m leaving my list as is since I’m a huge seahorse porn fan and want others to get involved.

TexasDude's avatar

orienteering, scouting, shooting, Sufism

seems much more fitting.

rooeytoo's avatar

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard – last Wed night we went on a orienteering/running event. It was great fun, we took the dogs too. They gave us a map and we had one hour to find as many check points as we could. We didn’t do real well, but we had such fun running around hunting. There is a series of 4 on consecutive Wednesday nights, maybe we will do better this week.

augustlan's avatar

Nothing Fluther related, this time. I do have a life!

* human nature

* crafts
* West Virginia

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate it was too funny not to take it. :)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@ANef_is_Enuf Well, I adore you too much to be upset by your thievery… :P

TexasDude's avatar

@rooeytoo, that sounds awesome. I’d be all over that if I was in your neck of the woods.

AmWiser's avatar

Humor, Bingo, life, words. Sounds like I’m confused. tehehehe!

lillycoyote's avatar

I don’t know if it was something I said, but now fluther says:

“Add topics to your profile, and we’ll be able to give you interesting questions! To get started, search for topics you’re interested in, like “gardening” or “law”.”

Maybe I’m taking this way too personally, but I’m a little insulted because the implication seems to be that maybe I didn’t really understand the whole concept of topics, that’s why I haven’t added them, that maybe I needed some clues or hints or something as to what topics are. But fluther is still excited about topics! Yeah!, the exclamation point is still there. So, I’ve got to, however begrudgingly, give fluther it’s props for it’s undying enthusiasm in the face of my cynicism, indifference and sometimes utter ineptitude when it comes to the subject of topics.

jonsblond's avatar

football, i iz a grumpy pants, teenagers, Fluther

These topics came up when I changed my avatar this evening. Made me think of the Q. :)
