Ok, I actually really like these. Can I add one, and I know I'm guilty of it as well: the Fuck Off to Find Out (FOFO)
We regular members of subs see the same innocent question asked *ad nauseam* when a simple search of the history of a sub should answer it succinctly. Sometimes, there's even a sticky. However, after gently guiding so many souls to enlightenment (for years, in some cases), our bristles have grown long.
Do not ask *dumb questions*, young one, I only want to see the convoluted and esoteric tangents to this sub that are so nuanced as to almost gatekeep it from new users! Do not ask me "Hey, what *is* the reason for the difference between a Phillips and a Flathead?" when I really come here to talk about the incline angle of two different company's wood screws, ok!! FOFO!

Do you think thereโs a different sub more suited to posting this?

Either they're too lazy to glean their older posts for solutions to their current problem, or they're karma-seekers, or they're bots. Now, all of those types get ignored.
