Surprising how many people won't just go search for the answer to their question before asking it online.

This type of question is worth to be posted here, IMO

Y'know, sometimes people ask questions on public forums rather than just searching on Google because they want to start a conversation.

[โ€“] Stillhart@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah those aren't the kinds of questions I'm talking about. I'm talking about ones with objective answers that can be easily searched.

Obviously.

Even a question with an objective answer can be elaborated further upon through engagement with an actual person.
