Lloyd Answers

I've replaced Facebook with a different waste-of-time internet activity. Yahoo Answers. In the past, whenever I've googled certain subjects, I've sometimes been taken to this site.

How's it work?
You can post questions or answer other people's question!

What's the incentive to answer questions?
To help others of course!

No really. What's your incentive?
To earn two points for answering a question. Another ten points if the asker chooses your answer as the best. That's the basic scoring in addition to a few other things.

That's cool! What can you get for your points?
A sense of pride knowing you're a rockstar.

Really? That's what you get? Seriously?
Ummm... yeah. The points just add up to let other people know how much of a contributor you are.

You realize you're wasting your time again, right?

GET BACK TO WORK!
Okay, okay. Sorry, Mr. Italicized questions-slash-comments. Sheesh.

By the way, here's a link to my account... Yahoo Answers
