in the mid 2000s i used yahoo answers a lot to answer shit because it fulfilled some weird need to be right about stuff but the best part is i wasn't right all that often but for some sections was a "top contributor" which came with a neat little badge next to your name, and so people would just pick my answer cause it created false trust in my answer. really funny to think about now
lmao i'd probably of done the same. it was that weird phase some people go through in high school where they think they are smarter than they really are and it was a source of easy validation. really kinda embarrassing to admit tbh but im glad i outgrew it

Congrats, you just invented academia
i'd like 1 tenure please
Best I can do is part-time adjunct professor's assistant at an affiliated community college in a small town 20 miles away
I even would cheat by using my brother's yahoo account to vote for the top answer. Little redditor in the making.
