    Or, as per the "Unhealthy Ships" thread, hates another, or has a complicated relationship with another, or they both get hit by one of many Traditional Fanfic Dubcon Plot Devices, or...

    I had a teacher in middle school who actually made a rule against farting in the classroom. I was perturbed by what I assumed at the time to be a serious attempt to regulate a not-always-voluntary bodily function. In retrospect I think it was a joke. As I recall, no one ever got in trouble for it.

    Exohedron Doesn't like words

    Clarification re proof of 1 + 1 = 2: no modern mathematician actually uses the Principia proof as the proof that 1 + 1 = 2, because the Principia doesn't contain proofs as understood currently, nor does it contain a set of axioms that are still in use. Nor did the authors really know what they were doing. Proofs from ZF, PA, or more recently type theory and topos theory are much shorter due to a better understanding of what is mathematically necessary and what is just logical scaffolding of which the full generality isn't needed.

    I'm still reeling from the latest batch of questions. What does a gaming console have to do with sexual orientation? What is up with that Oprah question? Why does the questioner want to pile bricks slowly in front of his house?

    So many questions.

    it's especially funny to me because around here a yahoo is a person who doesn't have much sense/is a little off their rocker. so of course yahoo answers is always unhelpful, it's full of yahoos.

    edit: or, i guess this is the real definition, but it's not how i've come to understand it.

    To me a yahoo is someone who just did something very stupid or inconsiderate, displaying ignorance or lack of observant-ness

    [someone pulls into the street without looking]
    "Look at this yahoo."


    I think the word originally meant, like, "hillbilly"? And now has redneck associations. Which is from where all these meanings stem -- stupid, loud, rude, oafish, et cetera

    Yahoo Answers is a hotbed of trolls, so probably a lot of the really great ones (both questions and answers) are jokes. But it's impossible to tell which ones.

    Now that you mention it I think that's the origin! They were, well. Yahoos.
