Yahoo Answers is like the Wild West of internet advice, where no question is too absurd and no answer too sarcastic. The platform was initially created to help people solve real problems, but it quickly became famous for something else entirely: the hilariously dumb questions people dared to ask.

Have you ever wondered what happens when the limitless curiosity of humanity meets questionable common sense? That’s where Yahoo Answers truly shines.

While many people have genuinely solved their problems on this beloved site, there's no denying it has also birthed some of the most mind-bogglingly idiotic questions the world has ever seen. 

Can birds get struck by lightning? Or will eating expired ketchup turn you into a tomato? Yep, these are just a taste of the internet gold that lives on Yahoo Answers.

It didn’t take long for the site to gain a reputation for its questionable inquiries, and we couldn’t resist diving in. We can’t tell if some of these were asked in earnest or to troll the community, but either way, they’ve left an unforgettable mark on internet history.
