Sigh, lifehacks. At least it got closed.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

ouch and wow

it was a real question, people just decided to spam it with whatever overkill they could devise

it was like worldbuilding came over or somethin

like how is this suitable

Jason C

02:58

That happens on lifehacks.

Q: Some questions tend to turn into polls, is this bad and how can they be answered better?

I see a lot of questions here that essentially turn into polls. Often the nature of the question leads to poll-style answers but to me the "issue" seems to be in the answers themselves. An example of the general form of such a question and its answers might be: Q: How do I X without using Y?...

But lately I'm also convinced that the "does not need a lifehack" close reason could use a little more action.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

so what, they just get closed because people decide driving over them with a car, or walking on needles (wtf?) is a valid solution

Jason C

No. Because they're shit questions.

They're wide open, obviously unresearched, vague questions from people with zero problem solving skills. By their nature they attract low quality answers. Like the one about "how do I keep passengers from denting my car door when opening it in my garage?"

Asked by a person who apparently never heard of asking people to get out before entering the garage, and never heard of soft things. Dumb questions beget random answers.

And the Lifehacks community is for some reason staunchly opposed to teaching people to fish, vs giving them fish.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

I'd also argue things people think that amusing questions warrant responsively-amusing answers

When they're really just spam

Jason C

Well no matter how you look at it the Lifehacks site is a total waste of an opportunity to teach people to think for themselves. It's just another run of the mill "lifehacks" site. Let me find that video...

Doorknob 冰

If the purpose of an answer is to be amusing, you're Doing It Wrong™. We had this on Programming Puzzles & Code Golf once, also. We've since solved that problem.

(Mostly...)

Quill - HAT MANIAC

03:06

@JasonC and that's a valid reason to close questions spammed by shitty answers, why?

bjb568 is Shog

@Quill-HATMANIAC No, that's a valid reason to close the site.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

another valid reason to close the site is the 2.9 questions a day thing

Jason C

@quill No you're missing my poorly made point. Why does SO close questions that are opinion-based? Cause they attract low quality answers. A question that attracts those low quality answers is a red flag that the question is no good.

I.e. the questions should be closed because they don't need a lifehacks. The crap answers.are expected but incidental. Not the reason in themselves.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

I've seen questions that are worded perfectly and on-topic, and yet people decide to answer. that doesn't necessarily make the question bad

Jason C

Yeah we it gets low activity because people are realizing it sucks. Such a great opportunity. Wasted.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

03:09

I mean, they could use a little more restriction -> e.g only with bare hands

Jason C

Yeah then those questions should remain open. Unless they are unclear then they should be on the until.improved.

On hold until improved

Quill - HAT MANIAC

and then updating your question invalidates answers, so it gets rolled back

Jason C

(Sorry mobile )

Yeah but that's because the site sucks.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

So, effectively the correct response to having your question closed on Lifehacks, is to not use Lifehacks at all?

Jason C

That's a meta topic. If poor questions that get improved invalidate poor answers it shouldn't be rolled back. On any other site it wouldnt be. But lifehacks is busted.

Their community is broken.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

03:14

I don't think that would make for a good meta title

moral of the story -> stick to watching CrazyRussianHacker videos

Jason C

And a lot of times the asker stretches it. Like the one about lighting wet matches. At first the obvious answer was use waterproof matches. But it was asked by the same person who chose their weekly topic focus (camping) and who had a vested interest in making the question seem OK. So then they edit to add the false constraint "waterproof matches are too expensive". Then a whole other discussion ensues about how they're kind of not. It's just a goofy site.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

that's like me spamming a good SO post with lots of barely acceptable answers

Jason C

And annoyingly those edits did not get rolled back. Because there were more dumber people active at that time right after the site went public. All the proposal fanboys.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

the question doesn't get closed, the shitty answers get downvoted into oblivion

Jason C

Ah but imagine if the so community were the type of people to upvote the heck out of those shitty answers instead.

That'd be a red flag that it was attracting the wrong kind of people. That's lifehacks.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

03:17

and the obvious solution isn't to lock the post?

Jason C

The site hurts the world. It's not neutral. It makes people dumber.

Not obvious to the Lifehacks folks. Obvious to the rest of us.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

otherwise I may've ended up with shit like "Have you tried using jQuery's bubble wrap method?"

@JasonC us he says, while being 1 of 5 to close it

I'm fairly sure protecting a question is a non-mod ability

Jason C

There's a lot of... human nature going on on that site. More so than usual. People like to feel clever and hate to feel stupid.

And on that site...

I can't type all this on my phone.

Quill - HAT MANIAC

I was going to meta it, but it's not even worth my trouble TBH. I'd rather just spend that time on a site that isn't so screwed

Jason C

Point being then folks on that site have a particularly high amount of self-definition invested there. They don't like to close things. Cause they'd have to acknowledge that their questions were legitimately dumb. And that's a recipe for defensiveness. It's weird.

No its not weird its natural. But its really a problem on that site.

Not worth meta posts. Legit thoughtful posts on that meta get shut down fast. Well not as fast as they used to though.

Dammit where's that video.

@quill Oh yeah, also adding to.lifehacks weirdness, in the beginning there was this really.common pattern of answers getting dved to hell or.flagged because they weren't hacky enough, even if they were the best/only solution.

@Quill-HATMANIAC Something I just noticed is the time I got it must have been around the time something was deleted I'd previously flagged and downvoted - not sure how that matches with what others have said

did you get blue or white?

@Quill-HATMANIAC White - but just got another one on a different site and haven't voted on anything deleted - just a few quick upvotes / downvotes on questions but all still there

@Pops Is the blue FlipFlop Hat awarded for editing an answer that already has an upvote on 21.12?

rekire

I got it today not sure what the trigger is

Shadow Wizard

12:20

@Quill-HATMANIAC lol, see what I caused to that answer :D

@Doorhandle huh, I usually check to see there are no innocent victims, didn't notice you when pinging @Door, sorry! Feel free to ping me any time as revenge.

@Eumel you mean 22.12

Derpy

@Eumel it is 22 actually. I forgot the UTC delta too. SE is already on 22

To anyone who wants to post a Flip Flop answer on the Meta post: DON'T, there's already 13

rekire

I got it now 3 times for voting within 5 seconds after opening the question, up and down. I got in every case the blue one. My first case was a downvote if this helps

Quill - HAT MANIAC

and I waited and got it

PeterJ

@Quill-HATMANIAC You can get it just with an upvote / downvote / upvote on questions

Derpy

12:29

@PeterJ nope, I was wrong. It seem that is just any vote today

Quill - HAT MANIAC

@PeterJ Yes, yet for some reason, 12 people decided it was a good idea to post an additional answer

Eumel

@derpy what timezone is SE in then?

rekire

can I get now the Archimedes hat?^^

Eumel

it´s noon here and i dont think it´s the 22. anywhere yet?

Shadow Wizard

@Eumel not relevant. All time-based hats can be awarded ~12 hours before the actual time, and ~12 hours afterwards.

13

Q: Make it clear that certain hats can be awarded earlier, in their description

Time based hats, e.g. A New Hope can be awarded as soon as 12-14 hours before the actual time stated in the hat description, as explained nicely here. However, this is far from being trivial, and decent people who think they got the hat when they didn't deserve it, tend to report this as a bug. ...

@rekire I fear you are wrong. There are reports of users that got the hat on a single vote, so it must be vote+ date (since it wasn't got until now). For the color, it doesn't seem that vote type or target matter.

Shadow Wizard

(Well, not relevant for secret hats though)

PeterJ

@Eumel It would be - it's 11:30PM here at UTC + 11 and they go to UTC + 14

Derpy

Also, it seem that once you get a color, you are stuck with that one on each site.
