What are some exemplary Fluther questions?

Asked by andrew (16562points) March 22nd, 2009

Say you’re describing Fluther to a new person. You want to give them a taste of the culture here. You want to present wide range of “legit”, political, zany, touching, questions that showcase the various types of questions that work really well on Fluther. What do you present?

Dividing rent while cohabitating?

It’s not super fun, but I think it’s one of the most useful in a way.

@EmpressPixie Useful is really helpful! I’ll be compiling many of these into the new guidelines.

From Hobbes:

Can anyone find a hole in this argument against free will?

Should the state require prospective parents to obtain a license?

From phoenyx:

Could the Care Bears defeat the Incredible Hulk?

Is pain valuable?

And I have had a couple lately that were pretty dumb questions, but had brilliant, insightful, or otherwise useful answers that were leaps and bounds better than anything I could have possibly googled—but maybe that belongs in a separate thread…

How do you keep your earbuds from getting tangled?
How would you fix this picture frame?
How can I stop my zipper from bunching?

I have had nothing but wonderful and helpful answers when I asked naive and innocent questions about my new cat. Without the insight and experience of fluther, I would be mincemeat now. Milo agrees.

Not to toot my own horn, but the first question I asked here (I think it was my first) Morality without religion? prompted a wide ranging and interesting discussion.

Are ya’ll gonna be mad if I say “Frizzers” ?

Where does life begin sparked a very respectful discussion about a mighty controversial topic. In a more practical vein, early on in my Fluther career, I asked about framing a tiny picture and got some great advice.

No one mentioned the cake question!

EmpressPixie's avatar

Asmonet got the meme question, which covers cake, frizzer, and pancakes!

It’s the catch-all for our awesome ridiculousness.

asmonet's avatar

So there!

May a thousand pancakes come over you :)

We had this really long, and incredibly good discussion about race and racism today. It was amazing. Maybe my favorite serious thread here.

@Lonestarwildman: Read through the discussions that follow the question, and take a look at how the questions were asked. As long as everyone is thoughtful, civil, and mature, everything can be a valid subject.
