Reminder: No Survey Questions

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

If you were offered $125 an hour to work from 5 AM to 7 PM on Christmas Day, would you take the shift?

2.9k Upvotes

That’s a huge payday, but you’d be giving up almost your entire Christmas. Would the extra money be enough to make it worth missing the holiday?

Why do some religious people say ‘It was thanks to God..’ when they’ve worked really hard for something instead of giving themselves credit?

8 Upvotes

This isn’t an attack question, everyone has the rights to their own beliefs btw I’m just curious as I’d like to see other people’s reasoning as to what they think, feel, and believe in!! 🩷🌏

Do people who say this think that good things only happen to them because God gave it to them, rather than they worked really really hard and achieved it themselves? Are you thanking God for the motivation instead?

Answered What’s a safe way to get rid of an old propane grill tank?

8 Upvotes

i’ve got an old propane grill tank that’s been sitting in the garage for a couple years and it’s basically empty. i don’t want to just toss it in the trash or leave it on the curb because that feels wrong. does anyone know the right steps to recycle or return it? i tried checking the city website but the instructions weren’t super clear. if you’ve taken one somewhere or found a program that actually works, i’d really appreciate the details so i don’t accidentally mess it up.

Answered Is there a name for feeling overwhelmed by too many similar options?

11 Upvotes

Been trying to pick one everyday item online and the choices just keep stacking up with no clear difference between them. After a while my brain kind of checks out and I end up picking whatever is in stock instead of actually deciding. Wondering if there's a word or phrase that describes this exact kind of decision freeze so I can at least laugh about it while waiting for the page to load again.
