❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 4

Hm, they will at a certain point. At first I always try to do it "freehand"... Stupid me? OK, you're right. But I enjoy thinking things up myself more. The macaroni casserole thing, for example, took me hours. We make it without flour!!!

🫢 How do you make a cheese sauce without flour? It's a basic white sauce (flour, butter + milk) with cheese added...?

It would be nice if that's how the game was played... then I could ask a far greater variety of questions without needing to check each one against Google searches and AI! (The macaroni cheese question - I expected a Google search and the requirement to check multiple recipes. Or in pennsif's case, recognise the dish and know the answer.)

It takes me ages to check the questions - scrap them and then find a new one!

Yes, I can imagine that.
The joy of playing Scrabble online was taken away from me by the anagram managers. Okay, they can't recognise the correct position. However, it bothered me that I really need hours to prepare and "maintain" the game, while others enter the letters in a few seconds, post, finish and then bag the big vote at the end without saying thank you.
The same with Wördel (only that it's not as complicated to prepare).

We need AI in many areas of life, no question about it. But in many areas it simply takes away our thinking, which is very worrying for evolution. And what is very, very sad: it takes the fun away from us in many areas!

I enjoy the Wordel. The repeat letters are always a bugger!

AI reminds me of doing pub quizzes after mobile phones became ubiquitous. You always knew that there'd be somebody in a corner... or sneaking off to the toilet, looking up the answers. It makes any kind of quiz extremely difficult now!

Oh, Thank You for doing scrabble 🙂

Yes, those pub quizzes... They're not that popular (with me). But do you know "scavenger hunts" or a kind of rally where people (usually in teams, often children and teenagers at birthday parties; but also adults on bikes or in cars) were sent from place to place by answering questions? That was a really great, communicative, fun event...

Thank You for doing scrabble

Omg...

Ah wow, I remember Scavenger Hunts. It's been decades since I did anything like that!

I think the modern equivalent would be something like Geocaching (not quite the same) where people log junk that they've hidden on an app for people to find. Not quite the same though.

Never tried Geocaching though a friend did. Wherever we were he had the phone in his hand. About 10+ years ago that was very, very strange. Today… It’s me, too, being outside, looking at my phone over and over again because a special Steemit friend could have published a question… 🤪

Well I hope that you haven't been neglecting your sheep!

the-mrs-gorilla loved her Geocaching when we moved to Eastbourne (and probably before). We'd go for a walk and she'd say "Oh, there's a Geocache near here" and then we'd walk miles out of our way to find it. More often than not, a piece of paper or a stone hidden underneath a rock. It's a load of shit if you ask me 😆

Well I hope that you haven't been neglecting your sheep!

Of course not! We always added a teaching hour: They had to think along in a discussion group and then be allowed to guess. It made them very proud to be able to help me for once.
