What have been the top ten greatest questions of all time?

42

Oh, wait, you said “questions”.

I think the absolute best top place has to go to either the exact question, or variations thereof: “Does he like me?”

Second place is a tie between “What is this [medical condition]?” or “How should I treat this [medical condition]?”

Third place is… another tie! ... “What does this dream mean?” and “What is your dream of what you would do if… [something that would never happen, happens]?”

There should be room for an Honorable Mention to a question that has never, I think, been asked on Fluther, this one.

There’s definitely been a list put out there somewhere, but here are 10 that I can think of that are at least classics:

10. What does it mean to dream about someone you like?

9. Is Fluther an appropriate medium for proposing marriage?

8. What does it mean when a guy you met once at a party keeps sending you cake every 4 months over the course of 2 years, but otherwise does not get in touch at all? And doesn’t ask you out either…

7. Forsooth, I’ve slain my plants, what shall I do?

6. Are you this Jelly?

5. What’s so special about salt and pepper?

4. What is the thing in a vagina that feels like a nose?

3. Would you rather…?

2.Is Fluther a fornt for the CIA?

1. Has anyone thought of looking under the swimming pool at the house of in the frizzer we had a boy that was missing for 3 years somewhere around here and they found him .i would not let her out of jail shell will just run?

@dxs Excellent work, my man (or woman.) By Jove, he’s got it!

@cywotus—not the most common. The ones that are voted best and/or get the most action. Your babby question has been much discussed on fluther, beginning, I think with comparisons to the classic frizzer question.

@dxe #4, #2 and #1 [ref babby above also] are my faves except I have never seen all of #2. Have you?

I recall a cactus question that got a lot of answers, but it wasn’t our finest moment.

My favorites:

What. The. Hell. Is. This?

and

Re: wedding & consummation status reports…just how much detail do you desire?

and this personal fave of mine. it was fun: Do you have any Fluther regrets

What is the meaning of “is”.

@jonsblond Oh my! Just read your thread. So many Jellies gone! Especially miss whatthefluther.

I’m sure any top ten list worth it’s salt would have to include at least one question by Hypocrisy_Central.

Right?

@FutureMemory Of course!

Am I supposed to unroll it first on my fingers?

So Hitler got elected, what’s the worst that could happen?

Why do llamas spit so much?

How come Canadians aren’t called Cans?

Does that olive oil thing really work on kittens?

Why do polar bears roar when they poo?

Will River ever get out of that library?

When will it end? WHEN WILL IT END!!!!!!!!!!!???

Does anyone really know how many licks it would take?

Did you know that 78% of statistics are made up on the spot?

@janbb I know, it’s so sad. So many are gone now. Many new jellies would not understand casheroo’s quote here. The new jellies don’t know how easy they have it now. ;)

@anartist I posted in it! That one and #5.
@janbb Thanks! by the way I’m a guy

I had a good one back in the day – not only because it got so many posts and a lively discussion, but because all the founders and oldtimers chimed in: Am I Gay?

Here

@zenzen The best way to tell if someone is gay is if they giggle when you kiss them. A friend told me that once. (I didn’t giggle but was strangely flattered.)

@dxe lucky you!

@zenzen I particularly like the keywords you selected for that Q —Am I gay?—“cats” and “home improvement”

@DWW25921 these intrigued but I couldn’t find them—
Does that olive oil thing really work on kittens?
Why do polar bears roar when they poo?

oh auggie the editing function is off again. all 3 of these comments should have been one.

@anartist I kind of made them up.

@anartist
This is the list I was looking for.
This is a question I asked a while back that is similar to this one.

@DWW2592 but I almost remember “am I supposed to unroll it first . . .

@dxs I loved the johnpowell steal-a-beer discussion

Let’s not forget How long does it take you to poop? and Can you give permission for someone to have sex with your dead body?

That girlofscience sure asked some unexpectedly fantastic questions!

@augustlan I forgot how funny the poop question was.

Oh my god, @augustlan! Thank you for posting that.
