Bored Panda got in touch with the netizen who posted the question and they were kind enough to share some more of their thoughts with us. Naturally, we wanted to know if there was a story behind their curiosity on this topic.
“I’ve always been very interested in the extremes and superlatives, but there’s often a disconnect between what people believe to be the most, the least, the worst and what is actually true. Thought it would be enlightening to know what misconceptions there might be and at the same time educate people on the facts.”

The thread had quite a few responses, so we wanted to know why they thought it ended up being so popular. “Good questions need to be ones that people are excited to both read and answer. This meant that a lot of people would initially post because they have strong feelings about something and then it snowballed into something big,” they shared.

Lastly, we wanted to know if they had any favorites from the thread or personal examples. “Definitely none that are as good as the ones in the thread but I think people overestimate the probability of gaining popularity or success doing the same things as other people. The balance of novelty and establishment is a hard one to reach. Novel enough that it is not so saturated but established enough that there is a likelihood of success.”
