Small-Scale Question Sunday for May 31, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

You do remember a time when homosexual couple were controversial…right? Are you 9 years old?

Actually that’s a very good point. I’m not 9 years old but I was around that age when gay marriage was legalised where I live, and I genuinely don’t remember gay couples being controversial unless someone was talking about the Middle East or the Bible Belt.

Are you a millennial or from a more conservative region? This definitely could be a generational divide thing.

Were you feigning confusion so that you could start talking about gay penguins?

The gay penguins came later, I was mostly trying to say that homosexuality and gay adoption is a lot more natural than all the man made horrors/wonders beyond our comprehension that we’ve invented. A good portion of the population literally wastes hours every day watching AI hallucinated videos in a borderline trance, and a surprisingly large minority has a sycophantic chatbot as their only friend and even lover.

Also the penguins were bi IIRC. Even penguins suffer from bi erasure, alas.
