Are most of the questions that you come up with to ask here prompted by recent experiences?

Ah! I meant to put this in Meta, but from habit I put it in Social! Do what you will with me Mods.

A challenge! Well I’m no mod.

Most of my questions are at least vaguely connected to me in some way. They did come from me after all. Isn’t the saying the best material is stuff you know about?

Some of them not so much or were just triggered in a random conversation or had some other inspiration.

Right…a random conversation IS an experience.

Some recent occurrence always prompts the asking of the question, even if it is something I’ve been wondering for a while. That said, I haven’t asked that many questions here.

Your next question @glacial “Why do some people ask a lot of questions, and why do some people ask a very few questions?” :)

My ratio of questions to answer is .01465. That’s about 38 q’s per year…mostly about Milo or language, it would seem.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Are you sure it isn’t .02468, @gailcalled?

gailcalled's avatar

If I divide, again, the number of questions I have asked by the number of answers, I still get .01465. Am I using the incorrect methodology, Q/ A = ??

However, I did get the number of q’s per year wrong. it is c. 76.

Not at all. I dig them out of my past as well.

Mostly I just questions that bug me, mostly.

I think most questions I ask are driven by something that has occurred in my life. It might be watching the news or a conversation or a book I’ve read or an actual event. It might just be something that pops into my head.

Pretty much all of them are, especially if you include thinking of them as a recent experience
