Inspired by Jacksfilms’s Yesterday I Asked You series, or YIAY for short. I’m going to ask a Jacksfilms-style question, and other posters must give humorous answers. Tomorrow, I will repeat the question and give my favorite answers. I will then let another poster ask a new question, and the cycle repeats (at least) every day.

Example of a YIAY video.

If the original poster isn’t available to give their favorite answers, another poster is free to step in and give theirs (barring their own).

I have a question for you. Describe TV Tropes in just 4 words.

They gave the other workers bathroom breaks, but I didn't get even a single cocaine break.

I think my boss is hot, but couldn't go out with her since that's a conflict of interest. But now, I'm free, baby!

My former coworkers said that this new NFT thing was a scam. I have about two grand invested in NFTs, so obviously I wasn't gonna stand for that nonsense about "just take a screenshot" and "bitcoin mining harms the environment and the currency is inherently unstable".

So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my Tumblr

Despite what some people will tell you, black people aren't actually taking all of our jobs. That's why I decided to quit mine and let a black person take the position. It's just my duty as a privileged white person!

I can copyright claim anything, even if I don't own it. Because YouTube's copyright system is so shit, so there!

I didn’t like it. And since they removed dislikes, well....

False advertising. The thumbnail purported to be a list of tips and tricks for Minecraft speedrunning, but the content of the video itself was quite different, and potentially disturbing to some users.

I'm not in it.

This makeup tutorial promotes terrorism. I made the report, so it must be true.
