While Quora might not be able to completely fill the void that Yahoo Answers left, it is a pretty worthy substitute. Nowhere else will you find such brazen, shameless questions about any topic you can possibly think of.

Be real with yourself for a second: would you ever ask a question like one of these online? It is a good way to get advice from people who do not know you (and therefore are not biased), but those answering do not hold back.

You need a pretty thick skin to ask questions anonymously online; could you do it?
