Quickie Questions

Go To

This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.

e.g.

Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?

Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

Get the idea?

How do you do the \\ thing on captions to make the caption take up more than one row (i.e Sequel Displacement and trope images that use song lyrics as captions)?

You... stick it inside, it seems?

My question from previous page:

Where's the policy against talking about video game players in the second person? For example: Ad F: You start off with a dagger.

I know Administrivia.First Person Writing exists.

If one were able to watch One Piece for two days without stopping from the start what arc would they be on when time ran out?

Okay if my Caculashons are right. Minutes in two days(2880) divided by runtime (25) gets me 115.2 meaning if somebody could watch One Piece none stopped from start to finish for two days bringing them to One Piece – Alabasta Arc.

In a capitalist dystopia we are dancing towards eyes wide open there are currently dozens of streaming services. I'm wondering which one of these can provide a means to try getting into watching professional wrestling. So would you please kindly into the question of which streaming service can I watch professional wrestling?

Please and thank you Have a lovely day and GOD bless you.

I've been asking because your original question does not say wrestling or streaming services.

Here's a list on wikipedia

When you report a harmful ad to Google, do they email you once they've evaluated it and taken it down? And if so how long does it take? I did it a few days ago and I want to know if the ad is gone.

I have been reporting ads for years just to spite them, no reaction and they are also not removed.

Just double-checking, definition-only pages means no examples on the trope page as well as work pages, right?

I removed a tree of Plot Hole examples but then I looked at the Related tab and there's still a lot of them, and I'm wondering if I messed up or it's just that they haven't been cleaned yet/they're just references to the term.

[down]Got it, thank you. I think I was conflating it with "no-on page examples" like Character Development at first, but that's a supertrope, not a definition-only page.

Def-only means no examples of it anywhere. It's still okay to wick it in examples.
