YIAY

Go To

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.

Buy a bank. Use it to print more money. Inflation makes my money less valuable? Good. More hustle for me. I gotta kick up the grind. #sigmamillionaregrindset

Yesterday I asked you: You are given $100 million. How are you spending it?

My favorite answers are:

  • Completely Normal Guy - I'm thinking about collecting Lego. That might be enough money to get started.
  • m-95 - Buy a bank. Use it to print more money. Inflation makes my money less valuable? Good. More hustle for me. I gotta kick up the grind. #sigmamillionaregrindset
  • Cardboard Bot - Make cat girls. If they wont do it I'll do it. Oh and donate to charities.
  • Immortalartisan - get it all in one dollar bills to make the worlds most expensive bonfire and thus set a new world record
  • Myskywarm - Use them to screw the rules.
  • FernandoLemon - Saying that I'll use the money to end world hunger, and then not doing it.

My absolute favorite answer is:

  • Archsage - To purchase blackmail on every major world leader so that I can run the world from the shadows.

Buy several huge loudspeakers. Buy several aircraft too, preferably helicopters. Attach the speakers to the aircraft. Have them hover over large population centres. When the day comes, I'll activate the speakers all at once to blast a playlist full of Metallica songs as the world ends. The last song on the playlist won't be Metallica, but rather the R.E.M. song "It's The End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)". If the world will end, it better at least have a cool soundtrack.
