Ever since Yahoo Answers got shut down, there has been a sad hole in the lining of the internet.  There was nowhere else that you could go to ask embarrassing questions, or, even better, read about all the embarrassing questions that other people have decided to place on the internet forever.

Since then, a lot of people have been putting their humiliating questions on private Facebook groups dedicated to a sometimes relevant topic. Perhaps this is worse than Yahoo Answers, because you haven’t known true stupidity until you see the kinds of things that people openly ask with their real name attached.

These people are usually shut down in the comments section, and then they unfortunately delete the post. The lack of anonymity in this method, and likelihood of someone you know seeing it has made this form of question asking a lot less fun.

Luckily, there is a substitute for this that, while not quite as good as Yahoo Answers, it is far better than Facebook groups. I am talking, of course, about Quora.

So, if you are looking for a place to ask the weirdest or most inappropriate question that 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.

1. Call! The! Police!

2. Michelle Obama would win

3. Eco-capitalism really is just does bring out the worst of us, huh?

4. This is a strange lapse in logic

5. Perhaps start by getting him a therapist...

6. You'd probably have to ask the designer!

7. I think the better question is "should people who think cats should be vegan be allowed to own cats?"

8. No, ladies don't urinate xx

9. This is the strangest cultural stereotype I have never heard of

10. million subscribers is definitely a viable career option if they are smart!

11. How are they? Rich.

12. "Hi guys, is giving my child a punitive punishment wrong? Is he right to call me a bad parent for torturing him?"

13. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO A CHILD?

14. Try saying that and see where it gets you!

15. "Hey internet, should I crush my child's spirit?"

16. Parents can have red flags too.

17. Move. Also, stop being so unreasonable!

18. Um. Presumably the lifeguard is more concerning with saving lives rather than making out?

19. There is always a supernatural explanation for normal things if you know where to look

20. Is having a gaming girlfriend cheating?

21. Kids are more likely to pick up skills if you teach them from a young age!

22. There is an alternate timeline where 9/11 didn't happen and this was how it was stopped.

23. Sugar, spice, and all things biology!

24. "THE BIG CHUNGUS"

25. "How is it possible that despite my terrible teaching, kids have left high school behind and have grown up to be happy?"

26. This is one way to say that you object!

27. People are surprisingly chill about posting child abuse online?

28. Tell me you're an annoying customer without telling me you're an annoying customer.

29. You don't have custody over a 25 year old? Also, congrats, you have straight up ruined your relationship with him!

30. Very glad this question about causing serious bodily harm is hypothetical!

While Quora might not be able to exactly fill the hole that Yahoo Answers has left, it is a pretty worthy substitute. Nowhere else will you be able to find such brazen, shameless, questions about any topic that 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 people in the answers do not hold back.

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