Stupid Questions on Y!A (rant) 2009-02-07 03:19:50 Reply

I've noticed quite a few stupid questions on Yahoo! Answers.
"Where can I buy pot online?"
"Can you chat with me?"
"How can I make a bomb?"
"How much is a sidekick?"
"What are the soluble substances produced by weathering?"

And I've been thinking to myself
"Couldn't these questions be answered by google by the time they typed out the question, submitted it, and waited for someone else to answer it?"

And also

"Why would you even ask these questions, you're only going to get stupid and sarcastic answers?"

So now I turn to you ng, to answer MY stupid question. Why do people ask these things?

Oh yeah, and post the stupid questions you find on Y!A here too, I may have missed a few that top the stupidity charts.

The redesign happened, now my signature doesn't match anymore.

They desire attention.

It feeds their souls...

I think theres some sort of point system on yahoo, for questions you ask.. answers you give, and if your answers get good ratings.. and apparently people want points.

then again, i may be completely wrong.

but you LOSE 5 points everytime you ask a question...

so far the consensus is
A)Attention Whoring
B)For annoying people
C)Points
