30 Of The Most Weird And Absurd Questions Ever Asked On Quora
Being able to ask questions anonymously gives people no shame at all!
Ever since Yahoo Answers was shut down, there has been a sad void in the fabric of the internet. There was nowhere else to go to ask embarrassing questions or, even better, to read about all the embarrassing questions that others have decided to post on the internet forever.
Since then, many people have been sharing their humiliating questions in private Facebook groups dedicated to sometimes relevant topics. Perhaps this is worse than Yahoo Answers because you haven't truly encountered stupidity until you see the kinds of things that people openly ask with their real names attached.
These individuals are usually shut down in the comments section, and then they unfortunately delete their posts. The lack of anonymity in this method, along with the likelihood of someone you know seeing it, has made this form of question-asking a lot less enjoyable.
Luckily, there is a substitute for this that, while not quite as good as Yahoo Answers, is far better than Facebook groups. I am, of course, talking about Quora.
So, if you are looking for a place to ask the weirdest or most inappropriate question you can think of, Quora is the right place for you. But if you’re looking for a selection of the most absurd questions to have a laugh at, read on.

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?
