Do you think we will reach a point where all the questions that can be asked on Fluther, will be?
I got one of my questions pulled for the first time, justifiably, as apparently it was just asked yesterday. Fail, sigh. This got me thinking about Goethe who theorized “Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think of it again.” Do you think Fluther will reach (or has it already reached!) this point in terms of questions asked?
I wonder if this has been asked before…

Ah, crap. I think you just asked the last one.
Okay, pack it up boys!
It kind of feels that way to me lately…...
I’ve been feeling that lately…
And apparently all the answers too!
this, indeed, has been asked before
This goes along with wondering if any new ideas are actually new – Since I am an Edharian and not a Lorite, I will say there are new ideas and new questions…for example, never before in history were random strangers talking about raising gender neutral children via the internet.
Gee, I don’t see how that will be possible. There are an awful lot of 15-year-olds who need to know if Paula really likes James or she is just trying to make Ricky jealous.
We have our ups and downs, but as long as time continues to move forward, there will be new questions to ask.
@dpworkin That is the worst thing I’ve heard today. lol. lol4rl!
So many of them are re-runs, I think this must be the case. No one can think of anything new, so they just ask the old ones again.
@dpworkin That’s priceless! LOLLLLLLL
@janbb in the same room, two computers. We’re really cool people.
@janbb I enjoy this curiosity…it’s dirty…we’re in one room, different lap tops.. and I’m eating and watching AI…we’re awesome
@janbb and apparently we say the same things without meaning to
Ah guys – I had all kinds of great fantasies about how you were doing it!
I’ve always got one more.
eww, @janbb, you think about them “doing it”?
@janbb we figured – we can take a picture if you like, lol
@dpworkin as do you
@janbb Nope. He’s right. It’s either stupid teeny-bopper dating questions or sex questions. “If I had sex by the light of the moon, on the 33rd day of Septober, could I be pregnant?”
@dpworkin But really, does she like me?
I am 15…
@dpworkin We alte cakkers got to get our jollies somehow.
@janbb Don’t laugh! That’s been on there, too!
You can tell it’s a slow night the way we all jumped on this like drowning rats onto a life raft!
LOL…that’s right. FB is a drag tonight.
Ah squirrel – let’s play cards!
All the questions have been asked eons ago.. We just find new ways to ask the same ones they asked back in the stone age.
But I thought you was a church-goer?
I am! But I have a dark side that veeeery few know about. I try to keep my hard drinkin’ card gamblin’, man chasing ways to myself. :D
@janbb A question with the potential to get derailed?! I’m there!
@janbb
She can’t fool me. That fuzzy tail is always twitchin’.
@janbb
<———
told you we do it together!
Oh – you guys are too cute! I do it with my husband too but he’s downstairs and I’m upstairs.
@janbb that’s quite a skill you got there! ~
@janbb He must have the longest… fluth..er…ever! moderated?
It reaches all the way downstairs? That’s some petzeleh.
best devolution of a question ever
It started out so well…… okay no it didn’t
@janbb I don’t see how you guys could be bored in that case…
Kids leave home?! o.O
@janbb I don’t want them to leave home!
But eventually you get compensation like wee Jake here.<<
@janbb Well, maybe I’ll be ready for that by then.
Oh – too cute! I love the dimples.
@janbb we call the oldest ‘dimplesaurus’
I think the wheels have come off.
Looks like all the questions may have been asked but not all the talks have been talked yet!
@jbfletcherfan You have wheels?
Damn, gone for 20 minutes and this gets 45 new responses.
@dverhey because we’re super cool people. join us
Maybe when I get done with my damn work.
@JeanPaulSartre Ooohhhh, good one! LOL. Yeah, I have a lot of hidden charms. :D Wheels & lug nuts are just a few. hahaaaaaaa
@jbfletcherfan I couldn’t resist =) I think we’ve officially killed this… wait, what was the original question?
@JeanPaulSartre Original question doesn’t matter. It’s been asked before anyway.
@dverhey Yeah, figures. I’m on a quest to ask something original, yet insightful…
<bad mod peeks in, scurries back out>
What? We’re through, finished, kaput? It must be 2012. Damn.
@augustlan You’re too kind! I was sure this would be toast by today =)
@Jeruba At least we’re all still having a blast. The film was very misleading… aside from a bit of snow, it’s pretty calm for the end of the world.
Good morning, all. I see we’re still at it. LOL
@jbfletcherfan I thought you’d still be passed out from all your card cheating, drinkin’ and man-chasing last night!
@janbb I’m all rested up from a good night’s sleep & I’m ready to roll again, sister. LOLLL
We tried to bury it in the yard, with the lug nuts, but it has too many responses.
You have to unscrew those lug nuts first, & since that wrench has been lost, that may be all but impossible.
I guess we’ll just have to leave this question up on blocks in the yard.
I think it should be on a billboard next to the Gowanus Parkway!
Well.. with enough spray paint…
@janbb yeah…gowanus…there’s a parkway
I think it will never be very hard to ask new questions, or look at issues from a different angle or through a different lens. A little research will do wonders. I’m not a big fan of questions about the news, but people use them a lot, and they are always new.
When will potatoes rule Australia? Now THAT hasn’t been asked yet.
@Fred931 but now it has… that was the last one!!
@Fred931 Don’t get too foxy. Some numb-skull will try to answer that.
I don’t think so, because there will always be new people asking it, and new people answering it, if a question has been asked before.
Personally i think this should be the Fluther theme. Followed hopefully by this for good measure :)))
Holy moly, there will never be an end to questions. As far as legit questions go there will be those that will become redundant like, ”Does he love me?” ”If he does ______ do he love me”? ”He always do this or that, do that mean he loves me?” They all ask basically the same question just in different ways. But as technology moves forth and we have new Jellies come aboard there will be questions that will be unique to their situation. They will ask ”Does this ap run on my phone”? ”Can I download ________ while running ________ on my iPhone”? And so forth and so forth. There will be questions unique to someone’s child, their dog, etc. The questions won’t stop until out sun goes nova and roast us all.
