Quickie Questions

Go To

This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.

e.g.

Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?

Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

Want to see if I can preserve this meme somewhere on Quote Mine, but can anyone see a way? Could it go in the description?

  • Any game with Content Warnings will inevitably have important parts of said warning edited out to create a Captain Obvious statement. For example, “This game contains scenes of explicit violence and gore” becomes “This game contains scenes”.

What is the threshold for when a page on this site starts to be considered "too long"? I know that there's supposed to be a message when that happens.

Is there a word for when you come up with an idea and it feels original, but when explaining the idea to someone else or developing the idea more you realize you got that from a media you watched, but when you first made the idea you weren't thinking of that media?

Judging from the last comment on the TLP draft and the time gap between that and the earliest Wayback capture, it looks like it was renamed to Spark Fairy at launching.
