Daily conversation: What is the worst possible answer?

[1995hoo]

As the person who posted yesterday's question, I think it's a tossup who "wins"—either Big John or TheCatalyst31.

Upstate New York is needed the most because it's a perpetual argument and it will generate more forum traffic.

The forum needs more boards.  Suggest one new board for each of these five categories:

Meta Viatologist websites
User Content Users' toilet habits
National Boards Turkey, Cape Verde, and Nauru
Regional Boards Annexed parts of the South
Non-Road Boards The Soapbox (for posts generated with AI and discussion of whether a post was so generated)

Then tell us which one of the five you think is needed the most.

"Users' toilet habits" falls within "User content" as a way to measure the extent to which any given poster is full of shit.

I am tempted to vote for the Soapbox as most needed. The name "Soapbox" isn't something I came up with on my own. Years ago, I think around 2012 but I might be wrong, the UVA sports forum at TheSabre.com was breaking down due to political arguments, so they created a separate board for politics and named it "The Soapbox." People posting political discussion in the wrong place were told to "Take it to the Soapbox." Several of us quickly realized that it was faster, easier, and more fun to use an acronym instead: "TITS!" And others, in turn, realized that you could instead post "( . ) ( . )" to mean the same thing.

So I decided I can't say the Soapbox is the most-needed because anything that promotes references to TITS cannot be the "worst" answer.

Therefore, the "National Boards" addition is most needed so that those of us who choose not to participate can watch the arguments over how to spell those three countries' names—which, in turn, might even delay the implementation of those boards due to such squabbling.

A board for Greenland is needed the most, because we already have Canada, so Greenland is the only region of the USA that's missing.

Gotta be User Incontinence. We're all getting older, we could use the support group.

We already kind of do have an Incontinence thread.

This would be a whole board of incontinence-related threads.

I think this is needed.  Especially in this Buc-ee's beaver fever world.

"Users' toilet habits" falls within "User content" as a way to measure the extent to which any given poster is full of shit.

If the shit is in the toilet, they're by definition no longer full of shit.

Obviously Advanced-Directory. What's the point of anonymity if we're all friends here?.

Right. Every forum member would be issued a new toilet seat that incorporates a scale and measures the user's weight before and after.

The more often you drop a dookie, the more full of it you must be.  Otherwise, you'd only need to go occasionally.

So far, this is the worst possible answer, because only sockpuppets would be posting in that board.

August 13, 2026:

Identify a particular type of road sign (MUTCD-standard or otherwise) that either is, or will be, banned in a particular jurisdiction (city, state, whatever) and explain why it is or will be subject to a ban there.

do not enter in the Las Vegas area where brothels are legal.

Las Vegas is actually one of the few places in Nevada where brothels are illegal. (The law regulating brothels bans them in counties above a population threshold that only Clark and Washoe meet.) Anyone in Las Vegas who wants to make use of a brothel's services has to trek out to Pahrump, in Nye County.

Alanland, of course.
