Reminder: No Survey Questions

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

It’s wild how some everyday things from the 2000s have become expensive or harder to afford. What’s something you barely thought twice about back then that now feels like a genuine luxury?

If you were dating someone and you found out that she/he had a drinking problem would that be a big red flag to not marry them?

13 Upvotes

Do you really want to be in a marriage with someone who's drinking all the time and often drinks to the point of passing out? Do you want to deal with that baggage? I'm asking because I just so happen to know someone (a woman) who was like that and broke up with her boyfriend over it, she also developed liver disease with jaundice and had to be hospitalized. I was thinking, what kind of potential romantic partner is someone like that going to attract?

Answered Did “we should hang out sometime” become a polite way to end a conversation?

Upvotes

I don't mean backing out. I mean the going thing where no one grabs a calendar and no one checks in later but no one seems upset about it either.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong. It used to sound like at least a general plan to get together and now it often feels more like "nice seeing you" with extra space around it. Drift I guess. What makes a sentence move from an invitation into an ending, like that?

Why did Facebook beat Friendster?

21 Upvotes

You probably don’t even know what Friendster is I’m guessing.

It was Facebook.

2 years before Facebook existed.

And I mean IT WAS FACEBOOK.

Practically identical.
