@TheWaif I think I know what you mean. Fine at a dinner party or an ice breaker in a training course but after the first few posts most people stop reading and just add their own "interesting " ideas.

@TheWaif

I've never understood why anyone would be interested in someone else's answers to this kind of question.
I am interested. For example, based on their answer, I know I’d like @skirk64 and might try to wangle an invitation to that table.

I've never understood why anyone would be interested in someone else's answers to this kind of question.

Yet you chose to click on the thread even though the title was very clear. Fucking weird. 🤷🏻‍♀️
