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.

How was I supposed to know that the thread dying doesn't mean I should post another answer?

Since ChloeJesseica doesn't seem to be responding, I'll step in and provide some winners per the rules, since I didn't post an answer.

Some time ago, Chloe Jessica asked you: "How was I supposed to know __________?!" Here are my favorite answers:

  • How was I supposed to know that this would be a fill in the blank question? (BackSet1)

  • How was I supposed to know that screaming no-no words so loud would make my throat all hurty and owie? (FernandoLemon)

  • How was I supposed to know that the blank could be left blank and it would technically count as a valid and mildly amusing answer? (Florien)

  • How was I supposed to know to supposed I was how?! (Weirdguy 149)

  • How was I supposed to know that the thread dying doesn't mean I should post another answer? (Random Fan Of Stuff)

Greta Thunberg will end up being the last great Twitter roaster before the site gets annihilated off the face of the Earth. She had a great start by roasting Andrew Tate to the point he ended up doxing himself and getting arrested, all because he couldn't let it go.

Let's see how Greta's roasting career will go.

At least eight famous people under 30 will die, and thousands will act shocked and sad even though 1/25 people die before 30 and also they never met these people nor had any contact with them ever.

Various cosplayers are going to meet the same fates as the characters they're cosplaying.

Then it'll spawn various copycat killers, and cosplayers wind up getting protected at big conventions.

Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.

Tupac will rise from the grave and collaborate with a similarly-resurrected Dr. Seuss on the greatest rap album ever made.

World War III will finally begin. On the plus side, this will also result in The Singularity, as those who rebuild civilization will have become ATOMIC SUPERMEN and will usher in a new age of artificial superintelligence and affordable space travel and jetpacks and all the rest of that fancy-shmancy future stuff.

Just procrastinate until you flunk out. Then go broke and homeless and beg for change and live with your regret that you didn't study
