Quickie Questions

This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.

e.g.

Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?

Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

[up]It’s normal to have a special interest, but it’s also normal for it not to get attention.


How many [tup]s or approvals do you need in an image pickin' thread to change an image?

Do we have Troper Coven for Polish tropes?

How we can promote threads that we created? Like this ones?

[up] There's no such way as far as I'm aware. And I think you should try to be more realistic. I understand you want to talk about specific subjects, but repeatedly nudging to join the conversation should just make it apparent there's currently nobody interested in it or people who would be just don't check parts of the forums where they are visible. If a thread is public someone may stumble on it one day.

[up][up] You mean "Polish tropers"? There doesn't appear to be any, so you can make one here.

[up][up][up] CanuckMcDuck1, 5[tup] + having 2:1 ratio. And they get changed by the moderator when the round is over. See the pinned post of this thread, also where Image Pickin questions should go.

Why movies from Walt Disney Animation Studios are called here "Disney Animated Canon" instead of "Walt Disney Animation Studios"? They don't take place in the same universe, so they aren't canon to each other!

[up] Disney Animated Canon is an established terminology by Disney meaning feature films from Snow White to Moana 3. Walt Disney Animation Studios is a studio that produces thwm. They refer to different things neither are "universe", so can you elaborate?

[up] I Reject Your Reality. I will still refer to them as Walt Disney Animation Studios. Plus, Planes was also feature film released by cinemas.

After you had been turned off by posting in certain thread but learned your lesson to never do anything like that again, what should you do to be able to post again?

Does no one oversees ""Popular With Furries" Clean-up Thread""? Because I posted two posts, and no one yet responded to them.

[up] Self-evidently no, threads generally have no "overseers" other than active participants.

[up] The point is that before I wrote them, someone already had asked about something, while the other answered him. And yes, I know that other tropers are busy people and can't check all cleanup threads, but it still bugs me why no one yet responded to thread that had been "inactive" for some time.

Also, do you know the name of recently released Netlix movie about a gang who hatches a scheme to raid pre-Columbian temple? Because I added this movie to my movie's list, but then our account was deleted, and now (since we have new account) I can't find it. Can you help me?

EDIT: Found it! It's not movie, but a series, and it's called "Bandidos".

The fanfic Daily Equestria Life with Monster Girl has the centaur protagonist discover that the reason Ponies seem to be an example of Animals Lack Attributes is because their external reproductive organs are hidden "behind a trick valve" for the females (the males have theirs hidden within a "sleeve").

What the hell is a "trick valve" supposed to mean? I've tried googling that phrase, but none of the result made any remote sense considering the context.

Which definitions did you see?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trick_valve

"Slide valve"

And given this art:

https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8033041/diagram-of-simple-trick-valve-paper-model

I guess the females' only show their external reproductive organs when the plumbing for the revealing process slide into place?

Okay, with that explanation, I think I may have got it. It probably refers to what amounts to a covering flap that retracts when needed.

In a musical, if there's no Ensemble but most/all the characters are singing together, would that still be the "Ensemble"? Eg. if there are five characters in the whole show and one character leads a song with the other four singing backup together, would you credit the song as "[Character], Ensemble"?
