Aug 2, 2015 at 11:58 comment added bmike Mod Also - I should have mentioned, when you are the butt of the joke, it's often the best. Making someone else the butt of a joke requires more social trust than an open internet forum can usually apply. Humor doesn't often translate well across social groups and can actively make the site hard to use for people that don't speak english natively or are in on your argot.

Aug 2, 2015 at 8:11 comment added nohillside Mod The overall rule of having questions relate to solveable real-world problems still applies. So asking how to apply Windows upgrades through MacPorts or how to interface your Mac with a Flux Converter probably won't get you very far.
Aug 2, 2015 at 1:24 comment added theoden8 That makes me feel more free. What about intended humorous questions like How do I install Windows updates through MacPorts?, which are not about anything serious but are just a piece of fun in the Sunday afternoon? I don't mean humiliating or something like that, just a question that itself is a little joke?
