Topics to avoid

There are certain questions that may seem like a good idea, but you should avoid entirely because we are far outcompeted by other websites. These include:

• Definitions/etymologies of words — dictionaries exist.

• Anything involving programs/apps, for example Excel.

• Anything where, upon googling the question, Google presents its own tool, e.g., “How do I calculate the volume of a cylinder?”

Other than that, there’s not much else you should avoid like the plague; questions of all types can be chosen if you think they really fit the brief.
