I love asking friends family strangers on the internet questions I could surely answer for myself. It keeps a conversation going, or is a fantastic start. I think it can also give ppl a chance to show off and talk about stuff they’re passionate about.
Ask someone you know will know the answer; even though you can Google it, it’s nice seeing the happiness cross their face when they tell you about the things they know.
Sometimes I think people miss the social part of asking people questions, if the person knows the answer or not there’s a lot of opportunities for jokes, improv, information, and researching together.
Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
