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.
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.

YIAY what you would do with 1.1B in US dollars.
Best responses:
Superjohn at number 5 with "I'm gonna buy Vermont! That cheese is all mine!"
[Better to buy the industry there than to buy the whole state. But if you plan to buy the whole state anyway, good luck. Also, I see what you did there with that PFP, heh.]
omega2900 at number 4 with "Finally I can buy a house." (tied with CompletelyNormalGuy: "I'd pay off my student loans.")
[Now that's an idea I can get behind.]
TheFarmboy at number 3 with "Two houses, furniture for the houses, a K-Car, a limo, a fur coat (not a real fur coat, that's cruel), a llama, an emu, a monkey, John Merrick's remains, a green dress (not a real green dress, that's cruel), a treefort with a minifridge full of pre-wrapped sausages and bacon, a Picasso, a Garfunkel, Your Love, And all the Kraft Dinner and Dijon Ketchup I want. And that's just a million dollars!"
[That's a long list with a million alone... I'm sensing there's more on that list than you're letting on.]
MorganFoulke at number 2 with "Spend it on acquiring a tank."
[No such thing as too much dakka, am I right?]
And last:
FernandoLemon at number 1 with "I'd pay YouTubers to stop adding sponsors to their videos."
[I think an action that would also work would be to also pay YouTube themselves to allow adblockers again.]
Next round!

Heroes are remembered, but Spartans never die.
How are you going to defeat your bigger, stronger, and faster opponent?
Welp, add that to the list of Terrible Ideas That I Knew Were Terrible Ideas But Did Anyway...
Outsmart them because that wasn't included.
Hire someone who's also bigger, stronger and faster than me to fight in my place.
Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.
It's an even match because I'm harder and better.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
The man behind the slaughter
I live in America so(pumps shotgun).
"Take your weapon; strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the Dark Side will be complete."
CG for short
Get a slingshot, use rocks as ammo and fire. That's how David dealt with Goliath, so I bet that trick still works.
Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."
The King Without a Kingdom
Pray, God should be able to swallow him up.
It's been 3000 years…
Am I a weirdo?
Challenge them to a limbo competition. Sometimes being smaller is an advantage.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
Very Spooky
Be smaller, weaker, and slower to beat them via contrarianism.
back lol
Mercenary Anarchist Ace
Fill em with bullets via More Dakka!
Yo buddies, still tropin’?
Knuckles the Echidna
Force-feed them with explosives. Bonus points if said explosives are disguised as food to make it less obvious and more oblivious.
One thing I have learned in pledging my life to this quest is that I have been betrayed again and again. And again. And again.
Baby driver
Challenge them to who can name more states. Only, ill make up ones that dont exist!
"You and i are a team. Nothing is more valuble than our friendship."
Master of the Multiverse (He/Him/His)
Forget about defeating him, I'm ERASING him from history.
Everything that lives is designed to end...
Don't Try It
Live a long and happy life.
It's Over Anakin, I have the high ground!
Always open to sharing avatars. And chatting too
Let myself get nearly beaten to death, remember that I have The Power of Love / Friendship on my side, rise back up and pull out a new move I never knew I have before to win the fight.
The true power of us human beings is that we can change ourselves on our own.
Fuse Man
Challenge them to a board game that I don't know how to play. Hopefully while trying to figure it out they'll get so bored that they'll leave me alone.

Prepare to diode.
The They who said it
Activate the Forbidden Science.
Yesterday, some idiot asked you:
"How are you going to defeat your bigger, faster, and stronger opponent?"
Here were some of the better answers:
- Outsmart them because that wasn't included. [Matchingbone]
- Okay smartarse first of all-
- It's an even match because I'm harder and better. [Fernando Lemon]
- Seems the commentator's work will never be over...
- Forget about defeating him, I'm ERASING him from history. [Your Eternal Troper]
- How does one open a crack in time?
- Let myself get nearly beaten to death, remember that I have The Powerof Love/Friendship on my side, rise back up and pull out a new move I never knew I have before to win the fight. [Myskywarm]
- GAH, the one universal weakness of all adversaries - Plot Armor!
- Challenge them to a board game that I don't know how to play. Hopefully while trying to figure it out they'll get so bored that they'll leave me alone. [Saifuu Suri]
- Ah, the War of Attrition approach. Nice.
Where would you park your car?
Extreme math nerd
In front of the house, right at the main entrance, hopefully in such a way that there's still room for the driver's door to open without scraping the house facade.
Oh, the other residents? They'll find some way, I'm sure.

In the lake. Don’t worry, I’m renting it from a friend.
I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.
Master of the Multiverse (He/Him/His)
Park it? That's the problem with the question's main statement ("park your car"), because I don't. I'm always in my car and never leave it until I am at my final destination.
That, or I leave it behind as an expendable asset because...why not?
