Fluther inside of a single Fluther question?

Fail.

lapilofu's avatar

I guess no one has questions they wish other people would ask. I figured they would.

squirbel's avatar

It’s more about – what is the purpose of Fluther?

“To ask questions you want answers to.”

If you ask a myriad of questions in a single thread, and even ANSWER them, you cause so many questions to be wasted – because the system will not catalogue them.

I disagree. I think this is a great q.

I, for one, wish there were more questions about food in LA, or home improvement, or django or python. I’d be all up in those.

And I think failing another fluther member is epic fail!

squirbel's avatar

Touché. :)

I will publicly apologize to lapilofu. I just miss the purpose of embedding the questions within one question – where they cannot be categorized and found by the search engine.

anything Simpson’s or Arrested development related

Or Have you been bullied as a child and what would you say to them?

I would say “nothing, not worth my time”

Bullied as an adult?

“yes, I would love to reverse positions and show them how they cold behave and get things done”

Great questions, but I see what squirble meant. It would be neat to catorize what comes up here.

We could just copy and make questions of the ones deemed worthy.

I’d like to see more questions about computer building, world of warcraft, gaming…

Nimis's avatar

Wasting time is probably the only thing I could really claim any expertise in.
Sadly, I never see any questions about it on Fluther.
(That is, how to do more of it.)

My Fluthering expertise will never be fully-realized. sniff

Any kind of fish or drug related questions, i got that shit. There seems to be a fair share of marijuana/drug questions every now and then, but i really dont get to use my knowledge of fish that often on fluther.

@squirbel “where they cannot be categorized and found by the search engine.” nothing can be found in the search engine as is. :P

Nimis's avatar

Fish and drugs?
That’s quite the combo there, Ubs.

El_Cadejo's avatar

w3rd

ya see the key is to take the drugs then go look at all the pretty fish and coral :P

The Matrix
Personal growth workshops
Ultimate frisbee
Baseball
Fantasy baseball

Questions that I have that are isn’t worth asking:

What does tap the collective mean?

bythebay's avatar

@90’s kid: To tap as in to draw from. I think they mean you can tap the collective, draw information from the group. The Fluther group is referred to as “the collective”. Think of tapping a maple tree for syrup. Then again, I could be wrong!

El_Cadejo's avatar

@bytheby tapping a maple tree for syrup? How about tapping a keg? :P

yeaaaaaaa im drunk with knowlege…

bythebay's avatar

El_Cadejo's avatar

Nimis's avatar

Holy shit. That is fucking AMAZING.
I wish I could give you 1000 more lurve for that!

EDIT: I just gave you lurve for all of your previous answers.
(That I didn’t already lurve in the first place.)
But they’re really for that last one. Heehee.

Trustinglife's avatar

Sneaky strategy, Nimis.
You’re gaming the system! Flag that man!~
Totally kidding. That is an amazing picture.

El_Cadejo's avatar

Thanks trustinglife

Nimis's avatar

Yeah. I think I max’d out on Uber awhile ago. :P

bythebay's avatar

And for the record, the Dr. looks much happier in that picture.

90s_kid's avatar
