The moderator told me questions like this aren’t stupid and they’re the point of this community.

I want an answer.

          What species of grass do you think will produce the most acceptable results should I touch it? Do you think Kentucky bluegrass is the best?

          I hear what you’re saying, my point is invalid because I haven’t touched grass, so I need you to answer this question.

            I need to know your location to know what grass is ecologically appropriate to grow there. Wouldn’t want you growing an invasive species. Also need to know the layout of your water, soil, proximity to water, amount of shade, etc. Would be easiest for you to just provide your address so I can find the best grass location near you.

            There is also the option to just not interact with things you don’t like on the internet. You can just not respond. You can block people that say things you don’t like. You can also make your own community that you moderate how you want to. Why are you demanding that someone else do work that you’re unwilling to do yourself?

            Or you can go touch grass. If you find google maps data collection too invasive to find a local park with you can also try duckduckgo.

    That depends on whether the angels in question are bosons or fermions—which in turn depends on how they’re spinning (so the dance they’re performing may also be relevant).

          “where we’re going, you won’t need eyes to see”

          sorry, not relevant, but it made me think of this line from Event Horizon, which was the only horror movie that has ever actually frightened me.

      Not enough info. What wattage of microwave? What size and filling of the burrito? Is he allowed to drink water and/or wine between bites? Have you recently modified the DNS settings on the microwave?

    I’d say since angels are imaginary, √-1 angels would fit on a pin head.

      They are wrong.

      They are lazy.

      If they don’t want to shape this into a community where people can actually ask questions that can produce a meaningul answers, it’s just a pointless chat room.

    Right answer should be none, zero. I have few friends named Angel (that is their first name) and none of them can dance.

    Angles have not been proven to exist, so I guess 0 and ∞.

    If you can find proof of angels existing, then we would need to have more specifics:

    • how big are the angels?
    • what type of pin are you curious about? A fabric pin, for example, is much thinner than a pushpin.
    • what style of dance might they be doing? A line dance would require significantly more space than, say, the Macarena.

    We’d also need to find out if angels are solids, or if they could pass through eachother as that could reduce the space they need and alter the answer significantly.

    Not sure what point you’re trying to make - people come from all walks of life… A stupid question to me may not be a stupid question to everyone else.

    Would you know how to survive like a Sentinelese?

    Could you tell me how to export a list of packages I have installed on my computer using pacman and yay so I can batch install them after wiping my computer?

    Could you tell me the typical directory where I could find the word.dot file for a typical Windows user running Microsoft Office?

    Would you know why you can’t mix DOT2 and DOT3 but you can mix DOT3 and DOT4?
