TCRT 9: The TCRT thread Wars (retroactively titled TCRT9: Episode IV – A New TCRT)

[Moggy]

Is Quora like a vegiterian Google or something?

No, it's the Qanon version of Ask Jeeves.

[OrangeRKN]

It's a worse version of yahoo answers but apparently just as insane

[Jenuall]

Yeah I have no recollection of "joining" Quora but I still get spammed by them with emails highlighting questions that are apparently of interest to me. They are usually ridiculous enough to make it work checking every now and then - a great selection of batshit crazy conspiracy nuts and "God bless America" morons who ask leading questions to confirm their personal bias that the USA is the worlds greatest country.

This was a fun one the other day:

"After the US saved the UK in both World Wars, did the British people officially thank the United States?"

This is how they get you. I've just read several paragraphs on how the events of Lord of the Rings would have occurred differently if Legolas had accompanied Frodo to Mordor instead of Sam.

The InsanePeopleOnQuora subreddit can really highlight what a madhouse that place is,

[OrangeRKN]

Stackexchange is the best place for movie what-ifs

[Errkal]

Clearly those people are broken in the head and lack that thing that says to yourself "thats a strawberry floating stupid questions, move on" why why why would you go "yep I should post that on the internet".

Of the four, the baby crying one is the only really disturbing one. The first dude is high af, the third one is a joke, and the fourth one is just a silly teenager.

But #2... yikes! I'd have some sympathy if it was just "next door's crying baby is annoying" but getting angry and wanting to call the cops - on a newborn?! - then sharing that thought online, is proper psychopath stuff.

[Tomous]

Yeah, the baby one is really concerning

[SEP]

'if a soldier bumps into his commanding officer in sainsbury's, does he have to salute? if not, is it a good idea to salute anyway?'

No. If they're not wearing their beret/hat, a salute is not required.

[Dual]

Yeah, the baby one is really concerning

"Well if the police won't do anything I'll have to sort it myself"

[Jenuall]

Some of the neighbourhood/local stuff that people share is so petty it's ridiculous:

"My neighbor had a neighborhood Christmas party but didn’t invite me. What’s a good idea for a neighborhood party I can host, in order to send a message by not inviting him?"

"Is it legal for my neighbor to be using my outdoor electrical outlets? He says I'm overreacting but I really don't like it." (EDIT: Hadn't spotted that this was the neighbour using someone else's sockets - that is messed up! )

"If my neighbor's bees routinely steal pollen from my flowers and make honey that my neighbor profits from selling, can I sue them for a portion of that profit?"

[Victor Mildew]

I see you've all found my blog

[Jenuall]

Stool Bloke 2.0:

"I think my neighbor is a serial killer. How can I find out without getting caught? He has a creepy minivan that he drives at night & I've seen him put rope, a shovel, and giant scissors & knives in it. I’ve seen his jeans bloody in the morning."

[Victor Mildew]

They're shears, not scissors

[Jenuall]

Tell it to the judge!

[OrangeRKN]

Whenever I've tried to click through a quora link in search results before it's always hit me with a login screen. What black magic is Jenuall using with these links?

[LewisD]

'if a soldier bumps into his commanding officer in sainsbury's, does he have to salute? if not, is it a good idea to salute anyway?'

'why are special forces soldiers allowed to wear shoes and everyone else has to wear boots?'

'why don't the SAS use this specific type of gun?'

who are these people asking these questions?

Guarantee that is Airsofters.
They want to pull off the perfect fake sas impersonation they can, while eating a Double decker and drinking monster in the safe zone

[Tomous]

Are you projecting Lewis?

[Denster]

My metal guy has his own website now. If any of you fancy treating yourselves.

Hes put a considerable mark up on the bat signal.
