    I remember when Yahoo Answers was a meta-social space with regular posters who all sort of knew each other. Some of the topic pages were particularly dramatic, like the science ones and the one for religion & spirituality. Lots of neue-atheists and people intentionally trolling both the atheists and the Bible enjoyers because come on, it’s fucking Yahoo Answers.

    The writing was on the wall for Stack Overflow the moment Yahoo Answers went down. There has to be a comedic foil to contrast with the seriousness of the former, a Pinky for the Brain if you will. (Unserious but this is my head canon)
