I love getting advice from Mumsnet, but TWO threads about airfryers in Active??

To add to all the rest of them....

Just please Google what you are interested in and add "Mumsnet". It works. I've done it for years. Saves you starting a new thread and clogging up the internet. Thanks.

There’s something very innocent about “Aibu to ask what time the Tesco on Slough High Street opens tomorrow?” etc

Are you the thread police? Does it really matter

If you do that you get yelled at for posting on a zombie though

BranchGold · 25/11/2023 21:56

Clogging up the internet? On a chat forum?

I’d like to ask people to proof read their thread titles before posting.

What time does it open?

Timeforallthecheese · 25/11/2023 21:58

People can ask what they want when they want. If you don’t want to read it or find it repetitive, scroll past or hide the post. You can’t dictate what people can and cannot do. It’s an open forum.

The only reason you can google + mumsnet to find threads is because somebody started those threads in the first place though!

themanicfantastic · 25/11/2023 22:00

You should google the word 'starting'.

questsos · 25/11/2023 22:00

Clogging up the internet 🤦‍♀️

Xmaswomble · 25/11/2023 22:00

Clogging up the internet? What sense does that make. Google it

StBrides · 25/11/2023 22:01

You can ask...

Or you can just not read them

MrsTerryPratchett · 25/11/2023 22:02

Airfryers are the new veganism. It only exists if you talk about it all the time Grin

Cookerhood · 25/11/2023 22:02

sushiburger · 25/11/2023 21:57

What time does it open?

It's not on the High Street & it's open 24 hours except Sunday when it's open 10-4
😂😂

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 25/11/2023 22:04

If you google it you don’t get engagement. Or attention

pinksheetss · 25/11/2023 22:05

It's ironic that you start a thread on this and thus take up more 'internet space' for it

Yes you can do that but a lot of the threads are older, no point bringing up a new thread and quite frankly a lot just want to start a thread on their own for their own specific reasoning.

Scruffington · 25/11/2023 22:06

Is the internet going to run out of space? 😱😱😱

OP needs to tell the blokes that once you've seen one video of a blow job, you've seen them all and they should delete the rest.

That's clear up some space.

JustWhatWeDontNeed · 25/11/2023 22:11

I mean you could just scroll past the airfryer threads.

Personally I find it more annoying when people start threads to complain about other people's threads, but there you go.
