I truly do not understand why there is such an influx of these types of "Ask HN" posts within the past year or so. I've been on HN for a long time and this only started happening recently.
And then there are the one or two users who ask the most goddamnably stupid questions at least once a day. “Why don’t people like walking barefoot in snow?” “Can cannibalism be an ethical source of meat?” “Should we build a wall around Fiji to save it from flooding?” I’m making those up, but the reality is that their questions are equally stupid.

When talking to someone, you step up to them and grab their arm. Then you force them to walk around with you, while you have their arm. Total attention. Example: https://makeagif.com/i/3Bfhx7
Grab my arm without asking and the next person you'll be talking to is your dentist.
