Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 10, 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.

However, I’d also like to push back against the idea that “subhuman” = “should be executed.” I’d say the connotation should instead be “subhuman” = “animalistic.” If I call someone an ass or a pig, I’m passing a negative judgment on them but not calling for their deaths. The same holds true if I use the broader category of sub-human.

Of course, it doesn’t really matter in this case, since it was all a joke anyway.
