DID YOU KNOW ... ?

Ding, dong, the site is dead. 🔔 For years, folks turned to Yahoo Answers for answers to their burning questions — which were often misspelled. One famous question asked, “How to get pregananant with a Luigi borad?”

Dubbed “a haven for the confused” by the New York Times, this beloved site is coming to a close. The long-running Q&A platform will shut down on May 4th. If you try to head to Yahoo Answers after that day, you'll be redirected to the Yahoo homepage. Even worse, it seems like the site's archives will shut down. So take some screenshots of your favorite funny queries before it's too late!
