I'm making this thread for 2 reasons,
The first reason, is because I believe it is a discussion worth having.
Over in the thread discussing the mental health of the members of this community, a quite a few members are talking about how EtcetEta's rather negative nature may have a habit of lowering the moods of those who frequent here. And I can't say I personally disagree; Era's constant Debbie Downerising has a habit of lowering my mood every time a new climate change thread turns up. A few members in that thread drew attention to the silly/stupid threads this forum brings in occasionally, and how those threads can elevate the mood a bit. A good example about a silly/stupid thread would be the current thread about the penis pump.
The second reason, more personal, and frankly not actually super relevant to the question at hand, so you don't need to care much about it.

It's Friday night in Australia again, and I find myself with a glass of wine in hand (Not Vodka this time. I didn't buy this wine.)
When drinking, I get this absolutely horrid itch for attention and socialization. I can go for ages on social scraps when sober, most likely owing to my nature as someone on the spectrum, but the itch just kills me if I'm drinking alone. I was thinking about making another silly thread to satisfy this itch, but after last weeks one, I don't want to risk my thread making privileges being taken away (My account here means a lot to me). So instead I've channeled that desire to socialize into this more meta thread, asking a question I myself am very interested in seeing the discussion for.
