/qa/ - Question & Answer

February 7 - A false rumor sweeps the Sharty that Soot has been spotted working as a barista in Portland. A 50-reply thread is made analyzing the grainy photo before the original poster admits it was a photoshop of "Bruh21" from 2023. The thread is stickied as an example of "critical thinking failure."

February 8 - A 'teen creates an AI model trained exclusively on posts from /qa/ and /soy/ between 2021-2023. The resulting chatbot, dubbed "SootGPT," achieves a disturbing level of accuracy before it is prompted to write a farewell speech announcing the sale of the Sharty to KolymaNET. Quote bans the tool, calling it "a ghost in the machine."

February 9 - "The Great Filter Debate." A 3000-reply thread on /soy/ argues whether using a Gaussian blur on a 'jak before posting constitutes "coal" or "advanced gem-making." The thread is nuked by a janny after 12 hours, with the announcement: "You have all lost the plot."
