Small-Scale Question Sunday for October 29, 2023

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.

Hey, I’ve got sisters circa 25 who are into F1. Can’t speak to the dating apps.

They got into it with the Netflix series, as Friend suggests, but took it pretty seriously from there. Favorite drivers, teams, courses. They get up at ungodly hours to watch races from the other side of the planet. Even the qualifiers. Sure, they follow the interpersonal drama, but also the team beefs and the stuff about who’s starting or whatever. And, of course, they litigate rule changes about technical details like fuel rates. IMO that’s the mark of a real fan.

I think it’s because watching the races on sundays became a family thing during COVID. The girls were across the country, so they’d call in and watch together. What a time to be alive.
