R.I.P. Yahoo Answers and Its Glorious Repository of Strange Questions and Confusing Answers

Apr 7, 2021   •   Ina Louise Manto

What’s the first things you do when you need information or help? You ask the internet. Question-and-answer sites have been around for decades, and at one point, Yahoo Answers was the internet’s most popular Q&A site. It holds over a decade’s worth of very… interesting queries and answers that’d often leave you more confused.

Sadly, its glory days are over, and it will be shut down forever on May 4 — 16 years since the site launched in 2005. No archives or anything! The site has been a meme goldmine for years now, and this is the end of a historic internet era. To commemorate it, here are some masterpieces from Yahoo Answers that the internet will always remember:

 

Choose violence

In memoriam of the eventual shutdown of Yahoo answers, I present to you the one Yahoo question that I quote at least twice a week. pic.twitter.com/JITHD9M3Jo

— Tobias Nook (No relation to Tom) (@tobynook) April 5, 2021

When all else false, just go ape shit.

 

Which song is it?

The beat question that was ever asked on Yahoo Answers pic.twitter.com/L9KbxRcysY

— James Halcrow (@james_hlcw) April 6, 2021

Pretty sure it’s “The Love Club” by Lorde.

 

Eat the rich

— LEONARDO🏜️ (@d0bolchis) April 6, 2021

We wish it’s that easy too. To the rich, don’t be shy. Open your purses and let us have some.

 

Monica?

RIP Yahoo Answers pic.twitter.com/22XkRln8o5

— Silky (@TheSilkiest) April 5, 2021

Try saying it five times and you’ll know the answer.

 

The greatest philosopher

— Getter Donkus (@poondonkus) April 6, 2021

When you think about it, it’s literally the simplest answer to differentiate the two.

 

What’s up, Thog?

— 🤓er (@InternetCommas) April 5, 2021

Stale or not, a chip is still a chip. A guilty pleasure dusted with MSG and it’s good any day. Be like Thog – he’s a simple man.

Devastating that Yahoo is closing down Yahoo answers, since it’s taking down the internet’s Mona Lisa with it. pic.twitter.com/uqlDzQdFqu

— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) April 6, 2021

Reminds me of my college days where one of my professors used to ask us to write a five-page handwritten essay about a vague topic I know nothing about. As long as I hit the page count, I’m out.

 

How the internet works

With Yahoo Answers going away, I figured I’d also commemorate with my favorite image from there pic.twitter.com/axDrmb4zwZ

— Retrotype (@Retronnity) April 6, 2021

If there were a lot of Brandons on the internet then maybe it wouldn’t be such a chaotic place. I hope you’re having a nice day Brandon, wherever you are.
