>>2
What is your favourite breed of cat?

>>499 I just got in bed so absolutely nothing. A comforter I guess.

>>501 do you prefer warm temperature and light blankets or cold temperature and heavy blankets?

>>591 Warm temperatures and light blankets. There is a good reason I never left the state of Florida, I like hot weather.

>>503 What is your favorite Japanese mecha of all time?

>>502
Danbo.

>>504
How often do you drink tea? And what sort?

>>503
About once a week at most. I prefer cheap fruit flavored tea, my favorite is peach.

>>505
How do you feel about the future of yourself? Are you worried, excited, or both?

>>504
I'm not worried or excited, I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to be living a shitty professional sort of life doing something I don't care about completely for the money. I hope one day to quit that career and do what I really want.

>>506
What's the greatest problem with the world today?

>>505
Large scale neglect for the environment.

>>507
Do you play a musical instrument?

>>506
I used to. E flat horn, motherfuckers! I also understand keyboard, but not enough to really actually play. I'm more of a composer now though, but I still remember how to finger Star Wars.

>>508
What does one do about the threshold in the number of figures owned where your bedroom suddenly turns into an Akiba 2nd hand shop? And what the hell happened to >>500's answer?

>>507
You could try spreading them out across multiple rooms, or make them blend in better by placing them each inside tastefully arranged little dioramas.

The response to >>500 fell through the cracks of reality, far beyond the limits of our humble understanding.

>>509
How do you feel about Lovecraft's work, and fiction in that style generally?

>>508
Horror and supernatural themes are not my taste. I prefer optimistic sci-fi stories, where the only enemy is ignorance.

>>510
Do you like stargazing?

>>509
Unfortunately, everywhere that I've lived so far has had extremely bad light pollution, so I haven't had much of a chance. On the few occasions that I've been stargazing somewhere where I can actually see anything, I've rather enjoyed it, especially things like watching meteor showers or seeing the ISS pass overhead. I don't know the first thing about recognising constellations or such, though.

>>511
When was the last time you went to a protest/demonstration/public march, and what was it in aid of?

>>511
I once saw a group of people protest because of the result of a football match, but normally I think public protests are paramount for a working democracy and fill me with hope in our future.

>>513
How do you feel about your own government?

>>512
Could be better if we got those lizard-people everyone's talking about in charge.

>>514
What do you think will be the best form of government by 2100?

>>513 By then, we will have all attained true immortality without sacrificing our humanity and also we will have embraced anarcho-hedonism. Society will looks something like a mass collection of sex and violence, where pain and pleasure are one and have consumed the planet.

>>515 Do you accept "dice" as an acceptable singular, or do you prefer "dice" remain plural only while "die" functions as the singular form?

>>514
I prefer "douse" in the singular and "dice" in the plural.

>>516
Do you prefer green or black tea?

>>515
Black

>>517
Do you often eat beans/legumes?

>>516
No, almost never in fact. I prefer root/leafy vegetables instead.

>>518
What even are Fourier transforms?

>>517
Threeier transforms plus oneier transform.

>>519
Should I buy a japanese style futon?

>>518
Only if you have a tatami mat room. On a wooden floor it's going to be way too stiff. (Even on tatami, I still prefer a mattress, personally.)

>>520
Should I confess my love to a friend, even though we are both in stable long-term relationships?

>>519
I think you should think very carefully about what would be in the best interests of everyone involved, as this could seriously negatively affect several people beyond yourself. I'd have to know a lot more about the situation to advise you properly, but overall frankly it sounds like a terrible idea.

>>521
What have you eaten today?

>>520
A slice of bread and some cheese. It was expensive cheese, too.

>>522
If you keep using your computer (or other device with which you're reading this) at typical use patterns, but don't upgrade or maintain it at all, which part do you think will fail first?

>>521
The hard drive (this is a couple-years old samsung netbook). I have perceptible pauses even in text editors, while the disk spins up so it can write the file. Under the assumption that maintenance means I can't modify the laptop mode settings, this would be the first thing to make me throw it out the window.

>>523
It's 8pm. Was this coffee a bad idea?

>>522
Probably not. Unless you're some weakling unused to drinking coffee and even one cup is enough to keep you awake.

>>524
I lost almost 100$ yesterday. What would be the best way not to starve if I can't pay for food for a couple of weeks?

>>523
Ask your friends or family for food and/or money. Tell them you are in a desperate situation. I'm sure they don't want you to starve.

>>525
Which country are you from?

>>524
England, although I'm also half Hungarian.

>>526
What do you know about Hungary, off the top of your head, without looking anything up?

>>525
Palinka and Magyar

>>527
How often do you pee?

>>526
No more than half a dozen times a day. More often when I'm cold, or so bored at work that I just keep getting drinks (it's probably at least 20 times a day, every work day).

>>528
Could you recommend me a trackball?

>>527
I recommend that you track my balls as I slowly lower them into your gaping anus.

>>529
What's your favourite tonal language?

>>528
Dorian mode in D.

>>530
How many people do you consider close friends?

>>529
DQNs are my only friends, really. So three or four.

>>531
There are two chairs, one covered in dicks and one covered in spikes. Which one will you sit on and, which one will your mother sit on?

>>530
I sit on the dick-covered on and let my mother sit on the spike-covered one. But we both earth titanium pants.

>>532
How many people are here anyway?

>>531
A lot more than people think.

>>533
What's your favourite internet acronym?

>>532 3DPD

>>544 would you prefer if all women were pettanko or bakunyuu?

>>533
big tits

>>535
Do you drink oil?

>>534
No, for I am not in any way a robot.

>>536
oh god WHAT'S THAT BEHIND YOU???

>>535
A gay-ass wall.

>>537
Bacteria?

>>537
Well, I was only in Greece for about 2 months, Now I will probably visit Spain but I'm not sure for how many months or days...

>>539
Do you listen to lolicore or breakcore?

>>538
no

>>540
Does your room smell like fish?

>>539
Only after MY GIRLFRIEND stays the night.

>>541
Are you done yet? Supervisor's waiting on you.

>>540
Yes. Here are the files, I hope they're everything you need.

>>542
Why am I so tired all the time lately?

>>541
I'm a doctor and it's clearly a case of brain cancer. You have 20 days to live.

>543

What's the most embarrassing way to die? Something that would make whoever finds you either laugh at you or question your life choices. Or both.

>>542 I have heard of auto-erotic asphyxiation is an extremely dumb way to die.

>>544 Do you often find that masturbating with your bare hand isn't enough?

>>543 I wouldn't say often, no.

>>545 Why has my nose been smelling funny for the past week or so?

>>544
You have a cold or something, go to the doctor.

>>546
I don't really want anything out of life. Is this a blessing or a curse?

>>545
Depends, it could go either way really. If you mean that you're able to take pleasure in the flow of life without needing to impose your own will on it then that's probably a good thing. If you mean you've simply given up on actively trying to live then it's probably not.

>>547
What is your current desktop background?

>>546
A perfunctory color-fill of #3399FF.
I don't see the point of desktop backgrounds.

>>548
How do you cope with the fact that you'll never be special?

>>547
Cope? Are you saying it's a bad thing?

>>549
At some point, you will be forgotten by all. What do you think the last thought anyone will think about you is?

>>548
"I wonder what ever happened to that weird guy I went to *th grade with."

>>550
What should I do with my last 17 days of life? (according to >>542's prognosis)

>>549
Prove/disprove a famous mathematical problem. If in 17 days' time you haven't gotten anywhere, just say you've come up with a beautiful elegant proof but haven't got long enough to write it all down before dying.

>>551
Should I try learning Swahili? Supposedly it's an absolute pushover of a language.

>>550

Go for it

>>552

Do you like aquariums?

>>551
For a while I was rather put off by the whole idea of zoos and aquariums and suchlike, but, having read the bit near the start of Life of Pi where he discusses the topic, and having now been to one or two myself, I can appreciate that it's somewhat naive to assume that taking an animal from its natural environment is necessarily harmful to it. It's been a very long time since I went to an aquarium, but I suppose I do like them in the abstract.

>>553
Do you think a procedurally generated text adventure sounds like a good idea?

>>552
Yes, but it would have to have a lot of input possibilities to avoid repeating itself and becoming boring.

>>554
What made all these marks in my table?

>>556
What starch do you consume the most of?

>>555
If you meant what source of starch, then probably pasta, especially spaghetti.

>>557
What has been your least favourite book that you've read all the way to the end?

>>557
The first one that comes to mind is Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let me Go. I have to admit I was rather lukewarm about it most of the way through and didn't really care that much about the characters or what happened to them. The ending, however, was really excellent, completely unexpected and tied up the story beautifully. It's worth reading for the ending alone.

>>559
Have you ever donated blood?

>>558 No. I have to take medicines every day, and that disqualifies me from giving blood.

>>560 do you prefer faucets with one handle or two handles?

>>559
One handle, by far. For both showers and taps.
You can use it with one hand, you can turn the water off and on while keeping the temperature constant, and a single handle looks more congruous with the single stream of water.

>>561
How would you feel if you found out mathematics was, in fact, empirical?

>>561
How'd you know about my fern? Getting a little personal, don't you think?

>>563
Can I be your bride?

>>562
In theory, yes. In reality, no.

>>564
Do you have any unusual fears/phobias, or do you know anyone who does?

>>563
My psychology teacher from years ago had a phobia of birds. She claimed it was from a traumatic experience she had when she was very young: she, her mother and her younger sister (still in a pushchair) were out in the park feeding birds, when an aggressive swan came and tried to bully the bread from her. It apparently bit her by the head and lifted her clean off the ground - meanwhile, she saw her mother running away and abandoning her, prioritising keeping her younger sister from danger. That does sound pretty traumatising, all things considered.

>>565
If you were to die right now, how long do you think it would take for somebody to find your body?

>>564
This very instant? I'm on an office full of people and I don't even get to enjoy the privacy of a cubicle. It wouldn't take very long until someone notices there's a corpse lying in the middle of the hallway, that's assuming somehow everybody around me just failed to see me collapsing on the floor. By the way, if someone passing by were to pay attention to my screen, they'd see I'm wasting time here on DQN instead of working.

>>566
Do you have any strategies to stealthily browse DQN while at work?

>>565
Work at home. I've done it since 4-ch came about.

>>567
Is that your phone ringing?

>>566
Joke's on you, my phone is out of battery right now!

>>568
Roughly how many kanji do you know?

>>567
I knoa zeroa Kanji. I see noa reason to learn any, even nao.

>>569
How often do you admit yoar roal?

>>567
I know a couple like chikara and some other common ones like water, fire, etc. I'd say under 20 total.

>>570
Is Discordianism a joke religion/philosophy, or is it completely serious?

>>569
I doubt they have reached a consensus on that point.

>>571
What things that are definitely jokes today do you think will be mistakenly interpreted as serious by the future?

>>570
Cheese! In thoa foature everyoan will eat cheese! Lol!

>>571
What do you think about <b>PUMBLENUTS</b>! Just kidding!!! no im not!

>>570
A lot of the parodies of the more extreme serious Tumblrisms like otherkin and headmates. Things like transracial specifically, though they may already be people who are taking the joke seriously.

>>573
What's your favorite variable used in science or mathematic?

>>572
I like to use Z because it looks like 2 and confuses others.

>>573
Has science gone too far?

>>573 here, I can firmly say it has.

>>575
What do you think?

>>574
I'll trust your judgement

>>576
Isn't s closer to 5 than z is to 2?

>>576
Modern art.

>>578
What do you want?

>>577
Happiness and financial security.
>>579
How far is the distance between where you are and where you want to be?

>>578
A couple of thousand miles, one language barrier, one magical barrier and one barrier between reality and fantasy.

>>580
Do you talk to yourself? If so, what about? If not, what do you think of people who do?

>>579 Yes. About my predictions for world events and estimating the odds of various things.

>>581 What do you think about gravebumps?

>>580 I've never heard of them, but they don't sound pleasant.

>>582 What did you do for Memorial Day?

>>581 I went to the grocery store and bought some supplies for my mother.

>>583 Have you ever gone to a Chinese restaurant on Christams Day?

>>582
No; all my Christmas meals have been rather traditional and boring. However, I do remember one year, when I was quite young and for reasons I can't recall, my parents took me to a supermarket some time around midnight on Christmas Eve. All the fake joviality of the environment and the obvious fact that every single person present desperately didn't want to be there made it a rather surreal experience. It's the sort of bizarre memory that I almost suspect might've been confabulated or just a misrecalled dream.

>>584
What is your favourite invertebrate?

>>583
Jellyfish

>>539
If you were me, what question would you ask the following poster?

>>584 I'm not >>539, but I'm usurping him and asking his (your) question! Why? Because.

>>586
How did you get your unusual fetish?

>>585 Because girls would always pretend they don't do that thing, and I never got to see them do it when I needed to see it.

>>587 Ever play Hatris?

>>586
I just did. Before I googled it, I expected it to be a joke game referencing TF2. It was pretty underwhelming compared to actual Tetris but the music was cool.

>>588
On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is sex (with physical, 3D people) to you?

>>587
Probably about a 2. I can appreciate in the abstract that it's pleasurable and a good method of emotional bonding, and might seek it if I needed either of these things, but for the foreseeable future I'm more than happy with 2D.

>>589
Copenhagen or many worlds? Or something else entirely?

>>588
Copenhagen. I've seen no evidence for the many worlds interpretation at all, it seems like just wishful thinking. Personally I have no particular problem with determinism or God playing dice.

>>590
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

>>589
A scientist, maybe? And a game programmer! Now I'm hoping I get to finish uni with the CS degree I don't care much for anymore (not surprising, the curriculum is only okay and I've been using computers for almost 3/4 of my life), and then maybe I'll be able to research every topic I will care about! (Ha ha, no, you need funding for that, silly.)
Plus, I can't exactly study chemistry on my own; it was far less complicated and a legitimate interest when you were a teen.

>>591
( ﾟ -ﾟ) A friend of mine is very, very depressed. Too much to kill themselves, I expect, but I feel so powerless, I actually started avoiding talking with him because it's too painful. How much of a coward am I, and how do I put my own mood swings on hold in order to help my friend?

>>590
I remember hearing that apparently one of the most common causes of drowning is untrained people trying to save someone else from drowning and being pulled under themselves. Similarly, if you aren't equipped to help someone with depression then you shouldn't risk your own mental health in an attempt to help them. Of course, you should still try to help your friend where you can, but don't take all the responsibility on yourself. I can't really advise you on mood swings, but I'd suggest that it might be best for both of you if you focus on encouraging him to find professional help.

>>592
What is your opinion of modern art?

>>591
Overpriced garbage, for the most part, which I guess is matching the inevitable societal slide into degeneracy and mediocrity.

>>593
Paper or plastic?

>>592
No thanks, I brought my own. (Store managers, take note. If you want more people to do this, do what my grocery stores did and just run out of all disposable bags consistently for two months.)

>>594
Paper clips or very small binder clips?

>>593
Very small binder clips. You lose the advantage of flatness, but they feel more secure and easier to manipulate.

>>595
Flat or wavy chips?

>>594
flat. i made osme tonight today and they were pretty good

>>596
yu lik criket budy?

>>595
I am a friend to all Orthoptera.

>>597
In your opinion, should prostitution be legalised/regulated? If so, how?

>>596 It should be legal and regulated that an attractive prostitute regularly rides my dick! No fatties.

>>598 What is your favourite kind of fish?

>>597
Swedish.

>>599
I want to make a bullet hell game. My plan isn't too complicated, but it would still involve some fairly serious amounts of programming, and I only know basic Python. Should I stick with Python (and make use of existing, well documented modules like Pygame) or should I take the time to learn a more serious programming language first? If so, which one?

>>598
The elitist in me says that you should stop using your crappy language and use my objectively superior language. Really, though, you have a concrete goal right now. You should try to achieve the goal with what you know. If you end up at a point where you say "Gosh, I really wish I had this very specific thing", you'll be in a position to find and use a language which gives you that thing. Maybe in a year you'll look back at the code you write tomorrow and hate it, but at least 1) you'll have written it, and 2) you'll have learned from it.

>>600
What is the coolest CAPTCHA you've ever gotten?

>>599
Probably either death or bitch. My current one is cheapen.

>>601
Catgirls or bunnygirls?
