Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.
Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Notes -
I'm not sure if a character limit is an ideal solution, but I think there would be meta benefits (for the reader, the writer, and the overall forum) if ONE post were about ONE thing.
Similar to the idea of a code smell, where its a sign of something going wrong somewhere if a function takes in too many arguments, I think its a sign of some kind of inequilibria of incentives or whatever if a post takes on too many topics. (This is ignoring blatant wordcount padding to justify the "Effort post")
My idea is that if the above could be "enforced" then the maximum number of things that could be discussed would be discussed. Given that it's not exactly uncommon for people to single out a specific part of a post.
