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.

Yesterday, I asked you; welcome to the frontlines! ...now what? Here are all the answers to this question, with added commentary from yours truly.

  1. ~Weirdguy 149: One of two outcomes. Best case scenario: nothing. Worst case scenario: Hope for a quick death. (I presume you came here by mobilisation?)
  2. ~YourEternalTroper: I'm just gonna use my men as expendable tools ready to be disposed of should they fail me or I find no further use for them...because why not? (That's cruel. You should meet the guy below.)
  3. ~Completely Normal Guy: Considering the high foot traffic and lack of competition, this seems like a great place to open up an ice cream stand. (Congratulations, you've brokered a truce of your own.)
  4. ~FernandoLemon: "Don't worry guys, I'm a ranked Modern Warfare 2 player, I got this!" (Okay!)
  5. ~Tropers/omega2900: “Where the girls at?” (...)
  6. ~Tropers/skan123: "OK, here's the plan. We—" BANG! (SHOIGU! GERASIMOV!)
  7. ~Morgan Foulke: I’d take cover first and fire from there.
    It’s Boring, but Practical, especially if it’s going to be a meat grinder… (You seem capable, you should join air assault forces.)
  8. ~Tropers/Sierra-D421: Grab all the grenades I can and throw them, laughing like a maniac.
    I admit to having a bit of a death wish and a fondness for Stuff Blowing Up. (Have you considered artillery?)
  9. ~Tropers/Superjohn: Since I'm going to die anyway, might as well as go out in style.

    LEEROY JENKINS! ([awesome])

Thanks for playing, until next time! Over to you.

Which font should I use for my bachelor paper?

Let me know if this is too obscure a YIAY question to ask!

Consider using Inter. It makes the piece stick.
Bonus recognitions for legibility, and if you use any colour but black.

Or handwrite it. It depends on what you are giving a thesis on. You can even mix fonts for emphasis and effect.

Fraktur. It's best to format your paper as if the Holy Roman Empire still exists, because it looks cooler that way.

Use UglyGerry to raise awareness on gerrymandering, which is stil a very serious issue that can lead to election fraud.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Ping machine broke

Two days ago, I asked you: What font should I use for my bachelor's thesis? Here are your surprisingly good responses:

  • wingdings! anything will sound smart in wingdings because no one knows what the hell you're saying - inkuiry
  • Insert Comic Sans joke here. - Canuck Mc Duck 1
    • Ah yes, the classics.
  • Fraktur. It's best to format your paper as if the Holy Roman Empire still exists, because it looks cooler that way. - m-95
    • Does it come with extra fancy letters at the beginning of each new section?
  • Jizz Mass should really drive the point home. - Pogakure
    • That'll get me kicked out of uni faster than I can say delta t.
  • USE IMPACT

    • FIGURE 3 SHOWS THE GROWTH OF MEASURE FUNCTION F WITH A=0.2, B=3, C=5 IN THE INTERVAL [-1, 5]

      COMPARED TO MEASURE FUNCTION G WITH PARAMETERS A=0.5, B=3, C=10
  • 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐚𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝. - TheOther36
    • Dude, how did you pull off that font?
  • EUROSTILE IS THE FUTURE - Clancy Gardener
    • That font unironically looks cool, I gotta remember it somewhere.

I said it before, but holy shit, you guys know some good fonts.
