People: "There's no such thing as a stupid question"
Me: "Is the UK outside?", "Does the moon own a lawnmower?", "When counting 1, 2, 3... Does hen come next?", "Have you ever been murdered?", "Do you need to take off your head when you sit down?", "Is a flerm half a blerf, or is it a Kenneth?"

@Richard_Littler These are great writing prompts!

I guess context is key.

@Richard_Littler Those aren't stupid questions - they would prove quite conclusively that the asker is insane! 🥴

@Richard_Littler "Do you need to take off your head when you sit down?" is a pretty sick burn! I'm saving that one for my next insult battle.

@Richard_Littler “how do colourless green ideas sleep?”

@acb @Richard_Littler
Listlessly.

@acb @Richard_Littler if they're both colourless and green, it means no one has ever seen them, probably. So the answer to this question is: no one knows.

@Richard_Littler I sort of hate that I like the result - but I asked a largely lying machine and it came up with some pretty good answers.

I don't think I can fault this as an answer?

Is the UK outside?
The United Kingdom spends a significant portion of the year in a condition experts describe as "technically outdoors but emotionally indoors."

"What's a question?"

@Richard_Littler these all sounds like great ideas for Father Phi content.

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

For Pete's Sake 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏳️‍🌈6d ago

@Richard_Littler everyone knows "Two Flerms to a Blerf, 4/5ths of a Blerf for a Kenneth. Two and a half Kenneths for a Grand Nigel, and Eight Ningis to a Triganic Pu"

@Richard_Littler Is a koan that causes satori foolish or enlightened?

@Richard_Littler Hen, I’ve been murdered so many times I’ve lost count.

@Richard_Littler
1) Since Brexit, yes!
2) Not that I know
3) No
4) Probably more than once, actually.
5) No
6) Definitely!

@Richard_Littler My GPS asked me, last week, to verify that I was outside. Looked up above the car dash and yup - I was.
In defence of your argument, that *was* a stupid question.

@Richard_Littler

Yeah, early on I had to explain to my kid that there were stupid questions and he could use his brain before blurting out dumb stuff.

derptron 6d ago

@Richard_Littler Potato comes after 3.

I have indeed been murdered before.

@Richard_Littler 😂 👍

@Richard_Littler yes. Not yet, but soon. No, but where is egg? From a certain point of view, yes, but it made me better. Not yet, but if the LLM has their way, you might. Ask the Orz, I don’t know.

Jaime Robertson 6d ago

@Richard_Littler Perhaps: "There's no such thing as a stupid question, as long as the intent is honest.”

And the answer is Kenneth, though I still don’t know the frequency

@Richard_Littler
mostly, yes.
perhaps on the other side thats what that stupidly expensive mission aimed to find out. still waiting to hear back from n.a.s.a. on that one.
no.
only once, in a past life. so mostly no.
no.
great question! converting from shrimperial to tetric is tough. a flerm is .4567 of a blerf making it .22835 of a Kenneth.

@Richard_Littler I knew someone who always replied with "Is there such a thing as a stupid question?"
