What are some exemplary Fluther questions?

Serious bedtime reading
Real time Fluther medical assistance

I don’t know about exemplary, but here are some of my favorites:

If the Zombie Apocalypse happened, where would you go? Or would you barricade yourself in?

Does one need to sacrifice everything in order to be a parent?

How long does it take you to poop?

Is it acceptable to have an alcoholic beverage while on an interview?

I like the useful and the irreverent. :)
Apparently, I really like Shi’s questions.

And of course, the memes. :)

Ah! And The Fluther Story!

Ok, I’m done. I swears.

Dividing rent while cohabitating?

It’s not super fun, but I think it’s one of the most useful in a way.

@EmpressPixie Useful is really helpful! I’ll be compiling many of these into the new guidelines.

What did you think is more likely to happen, an alien invasion or a Terminator style uprising of computers/machines/robots?

Will we see a cure for Religion in our lifetimes?

Is it THAT bad to wear socks durring sex?

How do you feel about gay marriage?

(If this is going to gross you out don’t answer) Sex during menstruation

Marina recently asked for some Nominees for Best Fluther Questions?

There are a bunch of great ones mentioned over there. Including:
Ever been invisible? by Bri_L
What is the most helpful tip you could give to a fellow Flutherite? by Bri_L
Do people have a moral obligation to be rational? By MontyZuma
What’s so special about octaves? By Harp
Care to share your Fluther Haiku? by sndfreq
Are there any comic book superheroes whose crime fighting takes place in the suburbs or the country? by Breedmitch
What writing or speaking about a fictional chracter, which tense do you use? by Lefteh

I think those were all the nominated questions at Marina’s Q that haven’t already been mentioned here.

From Hobbes:

Can anyone find a hole in this argument against free will?

Should the state require prospective parents to obtain a license?

From phoenyx:

Could the Care Bears defeat the Incredible Hulk?

Is pain valuable?

And I have had a couple lately that were pretty dumb questions, but had brilliant, insightful, or otherwise useful answers that were leaps and bounds better than anything I could have possibly googled—but maybe that belongs in a separate thread…

How do you keep your earbuds from getting tangled?
How would you fix this picture frame?
How can I stop my zipper from bunching?

This lead to a good discussion: http://www.fluther.com/disc/38470/would-a-singular-global-government-be-a-good-thing/

An insight into how modding works: http://www.fluther.com/disc/38453/how-does-the-fluther-moderator-process-work/

I have had nothing but wonderful and helpful answers when I asked naive and innocent questions about my new cat. Without the insight and experience of fluther, I would be mincemeat now. Milo agrees.

Not to toot my own horn, but the first question I asked here (I think it was my first) Morality without religion? prompted a wide ranging and interesting discussion.

Are ya’ll gonna be mad if I say “Frizzers” ?

Where does life begin sparked a very respectful discussion about a mighty controversial topic. In a more practical vein, early on in my Fluther career, I asked about framing a tiny picture and got some great advice.

No one mentioned the cake question!

Asmonet got the meme question, which covers cake, frizzer, and pancakes!

It’s the catch-all for our awesome ridiculousness.

So there!

@EmpressPixie

Oh! I forgot!!! very true.

May a thousand pancakes come over you :)

Which one should i buy?

We had this really long, and incredibly good discussion about race and racism today. It was amazing. Maybe my favorite serious thread here.

[mod says:] Quips removed for gaming the lurve system.

Where to get a massive map of Los Angeles for wall display?

What is the color of frustration?

Diplomacy problem: What do I say to my hair stylist?

What would happen if all creatures returned to the oceans?

Girls: What does your masturbation routine include?

This is a perfect example of a real question that received quality answers. It is also showcases the kind of quality discussions that should take place on Fluther.

Is fluther an appropriate medium for proposing marriage?

how do i save my marriage?

If you go poop right before you get in the shower, do you still wipe? If so, why?

Is it possible I don’t have a clitoris?

My parents won’t let me have another X-box 360, How should I kill them?

And of course every single question posted by Dr C

@asmonet I am confused.How long does it take to poop is a goo d question?

@petethepothead Very confused!Masturbation is an ok topic here?

@Lonestarwildman yes… yes it is.

Are competetive (sic) eaters tested for marijuana when competing?

@Lonestarwildman: Read through the discussions that follow the question, and take a look at how the questions were asked. As long as everyone is thoughtful, civil, and mature, everything can be a valid subject.
