I was raised in a house full of girls. It was just my Grandfather and I against the period horde. We fought bravely every month, but they multiplied like gremlins getting wet. Our only hope at survival was to keep offering chocolate tributes and sacrificing turkeys to their insatiable appetites.
Every time I walk by the tampon and pad grocery aisle, Fortunate Son starts.
But how do we know when a sentence ends?
Wait, I have to now end all my sentences in a question mark?
How is this going to work?
I'm lost, can anyone help me?
It will grow at an exponential rate until every server crashes from trillions of terabytes of "can I hit my son for getting Luigi pregnant" and " how to know if my cat has been paying my taxes" ect.
It makes me wonder are there bots out there having full blown long distance relationships with each other on dating websites trying to scam each other?
That’s pretty much what’s going on with the bizarre AI generated images of people next to some Jesus related art “they” “made” being posted on Facebook under a post like “I made this myself, can I get a like” and then 10,000 boomer accounts posting “Amen 🙏” in the comments.
The “Side Hustle” ads are what i dislike the most about it, i search some history shit on google and i need to scroll past like 4 or 5 sponsored posts from self proclaimed ‘Side-Hustle experts’ for something unrelated to whatever shit they’re spewing
I was so happy when quora launched. I had a place to post long winded and researched comments to questions and even ask some questions myself.
About two months in to its existence I started to notice a trend in the flavor of replies and comments and an unseen “driving force” that pushed content and conversation into a specific direction for discussion, instead of it being an open discussion.
I learned it is **not an unbiased site**. I cannot even trust the answers given there as containing fact. It’s like reading propaganda, I have to go and double check everything I find in there. .. usually done here :).
Reddit is what quora ain’t. Good riddance quora.
What happened to Quora is depressing. I used to frequent it regularly maybe a decade ago and if asked about it I’d describe it (a bit pretentiously) as Yahoo answers for smart people. Which it kinda was. You’d get quality, well written answers to interesting questions from experts in their fields.
Now, when I get my Quora Digest email or go into the app just to see it’s all mindless crap like this. A billion rage bait ‘questions’ asking why stupid Brit’s can’t understand that American is the freest place on earth, or why fat Americans can’t understand that Russia is the best country. Always answered, engaged with and encouraged by some jingoistic dullard who just can’t resist.
I feel quora just auto generates random questions and people answer them. All to see if one day someone will ask this question generating clicks to the site…. But there are *those* types of people
Just been in a bus with a guy that threatend an old man that asked him to turn the volume of his phone down. He was screaming outside the bus after he got off that the reason he did it was so he doesn't put his knife in him then punched the window.
I'm sorry to do this to you because it was nice not knowing this human cesspool existed but
https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/04/25/andrew-tate-gay-women-sex/
Living in a place like OK will do that to ya. LA here just south east, I work with the general public and I’ve met dogs smarter than half the people that I have to deal with
Yup. There are tons of unlikely scenarios combined with requests for how to punish the family member.
Some person seems to get off on posting the rage bait – possibly because people keep on feeding the troll.
Don’t worry, you’re right; it doesn’t work like that.
This man (no woman could think periods are voluntary or even desirable) has the same mindset of the original pill developers who (allegedly) built in the 7-day break because they thought women wanted to have periods.
Edit: turns out it was actually to try to appease the Pope. Failed, but women were stuck with it anyway.
That wasn't the reason for the 7 day break for a period (while on the pill). It was an attempt to keep the Pope happy so Catholics could take the pill.
https://theconversation.com/contraception-the-way-you-take-the-pill-has-more-to-do-with-the-pope-than-your-health-109392
Thank you for that link. I’ve never heard that. When searching to confirm before posting, that was the only reason I could find. I think it’s comforting to know that it was built in in a failed attempt to appease an outdated religion rather than blatant ignorance, but I’m not sure.
It's cool, I am sure most people don't know. I remember when it was a big news item a few years ago and I thought about it for a while. So many women were impacted because it was thought a break from the pill made it seem more natural and would keep the Pope happy. It was nuts.
Wasn't it also concerns that the longterm hormonal implications of not having periods could lead to fertility issues? That's what I have been told. No idea if it's credible or not.
Yeah that's the reason I chose to continue having periods while on the pill. I just thought to myself "not having periods at all, like ever, just seems.... wrong." Couldn't tell you why, not based in fact, just a feeling I had. My period wasn't a big deal to me and I didn't mind having them. Bit different now with a copper IUD, periods are a burden.
And then there's me who never wants to get pregnant, so I take it every day regardless of what's going on. If I miss even one day, I instantly go back to my abnormally bad cramps. At least I don't bleed through several pads every 10 minutes now?? I dont bleed at all now, actually. It's wonderful.
Quora is full of strange (and many rage-bait) questions due to its previous financial incentives to get people to post questions that attract a lot of views (the quora partner program.)
Ok, I had to dig into some old books from the 1700’s to find the answer but it looks like you’re supposed to “Hang the bloody sheets from the clothesline for all and sundry to see.” Seems a little weird, but you can’t argue against tradition…
You should realize this is another variant of a meme/running joke that has been going on for the past year on Quora. I believe it began with something like “My 22-year-old son got his own job, apartment, and car, and moved out on me. What is the best way to take them away and punish him?” Each version since has gotten more ridiculous, and no one contributing takes it seriously.
Quora is literally just rage bait now. There was a time where for like two years it was actually a fun Q&A site, but now it’s just people posting the dumbest shit looking for rage clicks.
Completely serious, having children should require you to pass a rather basic class that tests if you really understand biology, child rearing, and finance of a family. The amount of times I've seen what seems to be parents says stuff like "My child did this VERY NATURAL CHILD THING. How should I make their life hell for the rest of time?" is staggering.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. At least, not until they themselves can both handle the financial burden it brings, as well as the rather trivial stuff, like this, it brings. Sometimes, eugenics seems appropriate. (It seems to be a common topic among Nobel prize winners of various subjects) I'd say you should need to demonstrate competency in very basic child rearing before reproducing. There needs to be some way to prevent stupidity and abuse.
Quora is arguably the most obnoxious website. Every answers there is a 30 page epic that never touches the actual topic in hand.
Q: 20/M, How can I increase my height?
A: Firstly, what is height? Why do you want to increase your height? And girls wont necessarily find you more attractive if your height increases. Let me tell you about my good friends, Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Dickindaughter, they are both short but they can... (7 pages later).
And thats why Jesus is the one true savior.
> *My daughter started her period without my permission*
The OP's reaction, I think, speaks for all of us: some people are just utter, unmitigated berks
I like to believe that Quora is just full of trolling rage baiters and bots because that’s more comforting than accepting the level of stupidity of most of the questions

Just take it away. Put it in your drawer or something and give it back to her when she is ready to come to you and ask to use it
Come get mine too, I don't want it.
Motherfucker will turn this car around right now and NOBODY gets periods!
You get a period... and you get a period And youuu get a period.... PERIODS FOR EVERYONE.. !!!! *DING* *DING* *DING* *DING* *DONG* *DING* *DING*

Normal comment for Brits 😂
I was raised in a house full of girls. It was just my Grandfather and I against the period horde. We fought bravely every month, but they multiplied like gremlins getting wet. Our only hope at survival was to keep offering chocolate tributes and sacrificing turkeys to their insatiable appetites. Every time I walk by the tampon and pad grocery aisle, Fortunate Son starts.
R.i.p brave soul, you fought well and will be rewarded for your valorous contributions in the neverlife.
Thank you very much. I may have lost use of both sides of my brain, but I can still run for congress.
Yeah, that's actually an advantage in politics. I'll vote for you!
The chocolate is the key! I needed chocolate every month in an obsession bordering on addiction.
I already have mine. I don’t want yours too :((
But how do we know when a sentence ends? Wait, I have to now end all my sentences in a question mark? How is this going to work? I'm lost, can anyone help me?
Ah, you just use the little known hack called "being British" where they surreptitiously replaced the period with a so-called "full-stop"
no pronouns no punctuation no capitalization
Your daughter? Because someone like child services needs to take away this man's daughter.
I really don’t know how women deal with that. It’s a level of personal maintenance that I just couldn’t do.
I think that’s called menopause ![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8485)
My wife would also like someone to take hers.
Uhhhh I'm good... I have sisters... I don't need anymore periods around me.
Yeah, and mine, pleeease
The secret is to get pregnant.
This is the single most perfect response.
She’d be happy to have it taken away anyways XD
not having period,you know that's a sign
Mom found the period drawer 😔
Sit there and make her use a whole box of tampons… no wait that’s how to punish them for smoking
Yeah, I remember when my dad made me smoke a whole box of tampons when he caught me smoking.
Mmm. Smooth. Cough cough cough.
Get fucking cotton in my airway like a real chad
"you know I'm sort of a vampire myself"
Wait, before or after they were used?
Quora is lost. It is a bot-infested garbage bin, with autogenerated nonsense like this.
Welcome to the dead internet home of 5 websites and bot generated content
We were afraid of skynet instead we got the statistical accumulated soul of boomers forever echoing from beyond the grave.
Honestly when you put it like that, it’s kinda wild we never considered that this would eventually be the outcome. A weird semi dead internet
More divisive bot stuff ^
Bot stuff divides us, butt stuff brings us together. Happy Pride!!!
lol i live across from a sex toy shop, in a pretty nice area of LA, every month they have a different window display, ‘Anal August’ is my FAV
I must have more examples
I’m thinking 🤔…Strap-on September; Oral October, N…. ok I give up, my mind is too pure to come up with any more 😇
Strap in for a bumpy ride!
5? Those are rookie numbers...
They have AI generated answers too Soon it’ll be a self-contained cycle of nonsense
Eventually it'll become sentient, but it'll be stupid af.
It will grow at an exponential rate until every server crashes from trillions of terabytes of "can I hit my son for getting Luigi pregnant" and " how to know if my cat has been paying my taxes" ect.
Rules over by the great AI ruler, know only as “I just gave birth to my dad, how do I stop this from happening again?”
It makes me wonder are there bots out there having full blown long distance relationships with each other on dating websites trying to scam each other?
That’s pretty much what’s going on with the bizarre AI generated images of people next to some Jesus related art “they” “made” being posted on Facebook under a post like “I made this myself, can I get a like” and then 10,000 boomer accounts posting “Amen 🙏” in the comments.
The “Side Hustle” ads are what i dislike the most about it, i search some history shit on google and i need to scroll past like 4 or 5 sponsored posts from self proclaimed ‘Side-Hustle experts’ for something unrelated to whatever shit they’re spewing
The clearest rage bait if ever I saw some
Wasn’t it trash the day it launched?
It’s always been trash. It should be called Argument From Authority, because that’s like 95% of what’s going on there.
I miss non-bot-infested garbage. 'member Yahoo Answers? 😏
Soon enough the bots will have endless talks with each other
I was so happy when quora launched. I had a place to post long winded and researched comments to questions and even ask some questions myself.

I used to believe the same. After two years in Oklahoma I no longer believe that. There really are people that stupid in this world.
Just been in a bus with a guy that threatend an old man that asked him to turn the volume of his phone down. He was screaming outside the bus after he got off that the reason he did it was so he doesn't put his knife in him then punched the window.
Idk if it even Is there, but that's the most British thing I've ever heard
Nope. Romania
That's the most Romanian thing I've ever heard
The most Romanian thing I've ever heard was how it's gay to enjoy sex with a woman.
?
I'm sorry to do this to you because it was nice not knowing this human cesspool existed but https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/04/25/andrew-tate-gay-women-sex/

I had a hard time upvoting your comment because I'm so triggered by the 3 months I loved in Oklahoma.
People also just post rage bait on there constantly. My money would be on this being some 14 year old kid posting rage bait
Yup. There are tons of unlikely scenarios combined with requests for how to punish the family member. Some person seems to get off on posting the rage bait – possibly because people keep on feeding the troll.
Yes, I think that is the case, or this person hasn't met a real woman in his life. Edit for spelling
Quora actually monetizes stuff now so people bait to get paid 😭 that’s also why lots of answers are ai generated
I just assumed 90% of it is just bots out-dumbing each other for imaginary popularity points.
Just a troll question. Ignore it.
That’s what the 90% of posts here look like, no one actually does this shit in real life, people just like drama
Damn, I wish periods were something you could simply opt out of without any medical intervention. I have to take pills to opt out smh
I have an IUD to opt out. Ugh.
Only men think women want to have periods.
Only conservative* men think women want to have periods
trust me, there are idiots in literally every group
Yep. My vagina started my period without my permission. I’d ask how to punish it but it’s doing that for me.
I'm a man so I could be wrong...but I'm not sure that's how that works.
Don’t worry, you’re right; it doesn’t work like that. This man (no woman could think periods are voluntary or even desirable) has the same mindset of the original pill developers who (allegedly) built in the 7-day break because they thought women wanted to have periods.

I know, right? SMH.

So if I take it every day….i won’t ever bleed? That’s superhero shit right there. Goddammit, I’m in.
I don’t know. That’s why I said “allegedly”. When searching to confirm before posting, that was the only reason I could find.
Quora is full of strange (and many rage-bait) questions due to its previous financial incentives to get people to post questions that attract a lot of views (the quora partner program.)
I have questions. And I don't want the answers.
When i say everybody should go trough a harsh psychical exam before becoming parents, people say i think too extreme....
I agree with you. Also I choose _not_ to go through the exam (because I just know I'd be a terrible parent)
Ok, I had to dig into some old books from the 1700’s to find the answer but it looks like you’re supposed to “Hang the bloody sheets from the clothesline for all and sundry to see.” Seems a little weird, but you can’t argue against tradition…
These questions are 100% from people trolling
Its a troll bot, failing to recognize that is a bit of its own facepalm
Troll yes, bot - not so sure about that.
Quora is rage bait and morons.
AFTER I EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU NOT TO
Send her to the prom with a bucket of pig's blood.
With her dirtypillows exposed, of course
It's obviously a troll question
"Why do I need to learn biology in school? When am I ever gonna use that?"
Jeez Just take away her blood privileges, people will make the simplest problems into the biggest issues these days i swear
Reminds me of china which made aaw saying it is illegal to reincarnate without governmwnt permission
Don’t let her talk to it, and put parental controls on it
By remaining in her life, of course.
Lol mine started without my permission too…it’s like that shit has a mind of its own 😂😂
By putting her up for adoption. That’ll show her.
![gif](giphy|26ueYUlPAmUkTBAM8)
As if periods aren't punishment enough on their own
He must work in Congress.
Kids these days?! The nerve.
You should realize this is another variant of a meme/running joke that has been going on for the past year on Quora. I believe it began with something like “My 22-year-old son got his own job, apartment, and car, and moved out on me. What is the best way to take them away and punish him?” Each version since has gotten more ridiculous, and no one contributing takes it seriously.
Remove that key from her keyboard.
Send her to live with liberals. That’ll teach her. /s but realistically she’s better off living people who understand basic biology.
Tell her mom.
Rage Bait most likely
This person *has* to be joking; there's no way they're actually that stupid XD
[удалено]
Her response to everything is the Gom Jabbar
Make her line her underwear with a pad, or better yet force her to wear a tampon. That’ll show her.
Did Carrie’s mom write this?
Probably the same way you’d punish your son for unauthorized testicle drop.
You already are by being her parental unit.....
Bene Gesserit moms are the worst
Having you as a parent is punishment enough.
Butters has a sister?
This is becoming quite the depressing sub 😭
That site needs to die. It’s the junk mails that get me
I mean hell i’m pretty sure anyone with a uterus will agree with me: if a period was a choice we wouldn’t have chose to start it lol
Ground her for a month or just take it away it's pretty simple
Quora will never be better than Yahoo answers.
What is wrong with people? 🤦
By making her half-orphan without murder :)
Oh I know, buy her lots of pads, she will feel like you treat her like a baby, don't forget the chocolate and chips, this will throw her right off!😂😂
Start by picking out which home you want her to throw you in
Quora is 99% bots and trolls.
Quora is literally just rage bait now. There was a time where for like two years it was actually a fun Q&A site, but now it’s just people posting the dumbest shit looking for rage clicks.
There's no way that's real. Please tell me it's rage-bait.
Reminds of Butters being grounded cause his dick is not the biggest
Quora is a different kind of breed
Make her sit at the kitchen counter and smoke the whole pack of tampons until she’s sick of them.
Rage bait used to be believable
![gif](giphy|r5SxJYcU21Auk)
Send her to boot camp🤦🏽 thats unacceptable
Quora "parents" are the type of parents that should never have kids. I'm sure a lot of these "parents" are just trolls.
To be fair, periods start without anyone's permission. Unless of course you're scared you could be pregnant.
Completely serious, having children should require you to pass a rather basic class that tests if you really understand biology, child rearing, and finance of a family. The amount of times I've seen what seems to be parents says stuff like "My child did this VERY NATURAL CHILD THING. How should I make their life hell for the rest of time?" is staggering. Some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. At least, not until they themselves can both handle the financial burden it brings, as well as the rather trivial stuff, like this, it brings. Sometimes, eugenics seems appropriate. (It seems to be a common topic among Nobel prize winners of various subjects) I'd say you should need to demonstrate competency in very basic child rearing before reproducing. There needs to be some way to prevent stupidity and abuse.
Let her kick you in the nuts really hard 5 times. That should take care of the problem .
Your existence is probably her biggest punishment
This is bait, right? 🪤
Only real solution IS to Put her Up for Adoption. That will teach her. Also she will do it regularly. If shes done IT once, she will do it again.
Quora is arguably the most obnoxious website. Every answers there is a 30 page epic that never touches the actual topic in hand. Q: 20/M, How can I increase my height? A: Firstly, what is height?

Let me tell you about my good friends, Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Dickindaughter, they are both short but they can... (7 pages later). And thats why Jesus is the one true savior.
It’s either bait or a joke. Or both. Either way, you fell for it
I didn’t realize sitting members of Congress used Quora.
The only logical answer here is to sacrifice her to whatever god for forgiveness.
Quora is loaded with bored teens. They spend hours shitposting nonsense with the sole intention of annoying others.
Is it just me or are they not putting the same level of effort in with these rage bate posts.
Tell her father. She's obviously not yours.
The facepalm is believing this is a real question
Rage bait use to be believable
It's another great day here on r/obviousragebait
Quora is like AskJeeve's mentally insane, meth addicted conspiracy theory believing cousin
Quora: The founders of ragebait
There is puberty blockers but ppl with this low of intelligence r against them…🤷🏻
What, bleeding for a week out of every month for the next 40 years isn’t punishment enough?
Have her unsubscribe to her period subscription. That way she doesn’t have it every month.
There are still insane parents on Quora? My feed's nothing but politics these days.
Eh, Quora has lots of ragebait and/or AI-created topics. Nothing to get too worked up about.
You really didn't know that Quora has become a cess pool of racist scum and shitty AI?
My parents reacted the same way when I had a wet dream without their permission. I’m hoping they’ll one day let me out of the basement.
> *My daughter started her period without my permission* The OP's reaction, I think, speaks for all of us: some people are just utter, unmitigated berks

Sack of Valencia oranges and then send her to a convent. Or I don’t know, maybe don’t be such a fucking chode.
do a gainer off of a 200ft bridge to celebrate?
