Has anyone asked you the question about duck-sized horses or a horse-sized duck yet?
Nighthawk321 [OP] 2 points 6y ago
Nope, go for it :p.

Hmm, what kind of "would you rather" questions can we troll you with? I kid, I kid.

We could highjack the thread and turn it into a giant game of "Screw, Marry, Kill"! :-)

Haha it's a shame it isn't April Fool's Day yet!
fastfinge 5 points 6y ago
I keep threatening to change /r/blind to "Reddit's official community for manufacturers and installers of window blinds" for April fools. I never do, though. Mostly because I don't want to deal with the confused people showing up 9 days later to talk about installing blinds. Plus, we've got like a hundred rules to automatically delete posts from spammers who do, in fact, want to sell you some blinds. So I don't want to encourage them.

> 9 days later

If you made completely clear its April fools, I don't think they'd do that... unless they were desperate to sell their blinds...

>spammers who do, in fact, want to sell you some blinds.

How dare they.

It might almost be worth dealing with the spam. That is hilarious!

I wonder if you could change the text and background to be the same color so sighted users would see absolutely nothing on the page.
fastfinge 2 points 6y ago
Good luck! Should be interesting to see what response you get at noon on a Thursday. :-)

Now to hammer Refresh and answer all the questions before you can get to them! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! LOL JK.
Nighthawk321 [OP] 3 points 6y ago
Yeah right. I'm not really sure what the best time is to post an AMA.
fastfinge 3 points 6y ago
I'd assume early morning; if people are like me, we get up and check Reddit with the first cup of Coffee. Either that or mid afternoon/early evening, after work. There's a website called "Reddit Marketing Guide" that says the best time is 9 AM eastern. I won't link them, though, as the fact that a website called "Reddit Marketing Guide" exists feels so scummy.
Nighthawk321 [OP] 2 points 6y ago
Oh true. But at the same time, people/kids browse reddit during work haha.

> we get up and check Reddit with the first cup of Coffee.

Lucky you. Tried to do that once then felt guilty about not starting the day with 'normal stuff' like eating breakfast. Each to thier own, I guess.
fastfinge 2 points 6y ago
Well, I have breakfast with the first cup of coffee. Usually scrambled eggs or a muffin. So Coffee on the table next to me, breakfast in one hand, and Reddit on my phone in the other hand.
