answer with a question [game]

Post by SquishyBoi » March 16th, 2021, 10:35 pm

ok this is a weird one
you know how it is technically to "answer" any question with another question?
the point of this game is to answer the question above your post with another question that the post below will answer with another question.

here are some ground rules

1. no double posting
2. you don't have to answer the question seriously
3. don't sue me

ok i'll start

"what is sesame oil?"
i is squishyboi, a professional dumbass hiding in the sandbox

get some icecream here - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4666
also painfully relevant - super loaf

a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

Does common sense immediately imply knowledge of certain edge cases?

How does anything qualify as an edge case if everything is relative?

Isn't a relative someone related to you, like a father, uncle, or cousin?

Why answering with a question that - I can’t mention the suitable accurate word in English - already has an answer which everyone knows what you’re meaning?
(This sentence has 3 sub-sentences (uuurgggghhh just can’t find the appropriate word)!)

If you suspect your brain is not working, why are you posting?
