Suggestions for future Hot Topics

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Thu May 03, 2018 2:09 pm

Since we have one for ranks, it should follow we'd have one for hot topics. So no one forgets any good ones they think of.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 03, 2018 2:15 pm

How about one on the subject to heat? Will need to work on an angle for it through...

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu May 03, 2018 8:56 pm

The subject to heat?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 03, 2018 9:37 pm

*of
Dunno how that became "to"

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Thu May 03, 2018 11:47 pm

How hot is too hot? What does "freaking temperature" mean to you? What place has the ideal weather for you? Do you prefer your measurements in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be set on fire? Have you been set on fire before? Have you tried fire eating, or just accidentally put a flaming shot in your mouth without extinguishing it first?

Hot topic for summer reading lists? Any good books people have read recently (whether they're new or not)

Whether it’s preferable to measure dry ingredients by weight or by volume.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Mon May 07, 2018 5:12 am

The correct answer is always weight.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon May 07, 2018 10:16 am

Save it for the hot topic!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon May 07, 2018 11:35 am

Who was coolest in 1992: Mario, Sonic, or the Fresh Prince?

Maybe this is more of a poll. But imagine the lively discussion!

Airline travel: which airline is your favorite, what's your least favorite and most favorite (or, at least, least hated) part of the entire process? How often do you fly? When did you first get on an airplane? How was it different from now?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon May 07, 2018 7:58 pm

Good one.

I actually had this debate a few years back.

As for airlines, I would have tons to say about that topic.

After I typed that, I was thought "I bet Calbrena will have some pretty substantive opinions on this."

Hot topics on temperature? Reminds me of this:

There are many companies which I haven't tried and would like to try as I've heard they're pretty good. I'll keep those comments for the actual thread though.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue May 08, 2018 3:05 pm

So, are you going to be posting the new hot topic, Cal?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Tue May 08, 2018 4:31 pm

I gave that task to someone else in a post, somewhere. I forgot where though.
I think I was tasking Damien to do the May posts, and Mitsurugi to do the June posts.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue May 08, 2018 5:20 pm

Well Damien should get on it then!

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Tue May 08, 2018 8:23 pm

I guess I could do June, but someone else is gonna have to sticky them.

He posted one less than a week ago. There were 2 hot topics last week.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue May 08, 2018 8:57 pm

That’s no excuse.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Tue May 08, 2018 9:05 pm

Is Monday the official day to post new hot topics?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue May 08, 2018 9:10 pm

Not really

Thursday is the unofficially official day to post hot topics and Monday is the officially unofficial day to post hot topics.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu May 10, 2018 1:41 pm

It’s unofficially official that we need a new Hot Topic today.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Fri May 11, 2018 11:14 am

Why post your grievance thread in GD instead of Hot topics then?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:33 pm

That’s not a hot topic!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:39 pm

That thread is a little too goofy to be a hot topic. It would have to be converted into something more serious and broader, like holding grudges or something like that.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:58 pm

That was my point.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:11 pm

Doesn’t seem like Damien is going to make one at this point.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:27 pm

I'm not going to make one unless I think of a topic I'm personally interested in discussing.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:32 pm

If you can’t think of one, you should just request that someone else fill in for the week instead of leaving us hanging!

That said, surely there’s some topic you’d like to discuss.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:35 pm

Did I ever agree to doing a run of weeks though?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:39 pm

No, you were voluntold.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri May 11, 2018 3:11 pm

I'm the Most High One. Nobody tells me what to do

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 11, 2018 3:13 pm

I can do a Hot Topic today then.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Sat May 12, 2018 3:12 am

Hot topic suggestion: Regrets, things you wish you could do over or avoid entirely.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sat May 12, 2018 3:35 am

I might regret answering that one.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Sat May 12, 2018 1:19 pm

Hey, save it for the theoretical hot topic!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sat May 12, 2018 1:35 pm

Sorry. I regret jumping the gun.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Sat May 12, 2018 10:27 pm

Hot topic: alcohol. Do you drink it? What kinds do you like? Do you like particular makers of a particular alcohol? Do you like going on winery/brewery/distillery tours? Any ones you've been on you'd recommend? Ever work in a brewery/distillery/winery? Ever made your own booze? How'd it turn out?

Vibing_V · Post by **Vibing_V** » Tue Aug 21, 2018 5:04 am

Cultural appropriation.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Aug 21, 2018 6:21 am

I think “spiders” would make a better hot topic than most.

He's got a point though.

Save it for the hot topic! This is just the topic about hot topics!

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Thu Aug 23, 2018 11:31 pm

Hard choices and how to make them.

Becoming blase?

Bargain Hunting: how far is too far?

Craftworks: What you making?

Automobiles and their drivers

Dead pets. Which one was the best? Worst?

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 2:43 am

What tgings do you want to know about your fellow SGers? What sorts of things do you sometimes wonder in passing?
