        Psst. That’s the joke.

        I quickly responded to your question with no, but the only people who would do that are people who really want to answer questions.

        In any case, I think you’re correct enough for this joke. At least some people really want to answer questions, and I have a questioning 5 yo.

          There IS an extent to which this seems true for everyone, tho… Like, we were all “parented” in some way and that almost always involves answering and learning to defend oneself…

            Can you clarify this a bit more? I’m not understanding this yet.

              So everyone with parents/adult figures (almost everyone except wolf-children) they had to answer to, instilled a low-key compulsion to answer questions or any sentence with that lift at the end indicating questioning. Cuz you were in trouble if you didn’t. Childen have no 5th amendment aha

                    As an anonymous Internet person, I want you to know that I care about you.

                    I also want you to know that I’ve gone through a lot of struggles, and I support you.
