Get the Quarry mug.The internet's self-conscious act of intellectual validity and authority. Unsurprisingly primarily self-centered and authoritarian instead of rational.
Some of the more objective or positive entries might at first make one assume that most people there are not just as insufferable as anywhere else and like any community on the internet, albeit maybe at the same time with an even more all-encompassing entitlement and smug self-satisfaction.
And assume that the triviality of most of the questions would be self-aware and not lost on most of the people.
Highly restrictive, not only in the artificial question and answer format, but also the ultra-strict length limitations and rampant auto-correct functions, Content Review and straightforward censorship.
Moderation is more concerned with keeping up appearances than with moral tasks, consistency and transparency. Sanctimonious, arrogant, prejudiced and irrational and with a cult-like devotion to their brand and policy taken literally and subjectively.
Actual psychopaths, either self-proclaimed in order to effectively show off or those whose practices are harboured there, are the hipsters of the place.

Your mom recently found quora and now thinks she is one of the coolest, most elite people around.
Quora is giving me the habit of thinking only in questions and and not on my own anymore, and making me think I should follow every response like scripture, simply because it's on Quora.

Get the Quora mug.A completely useless and worthless unreliable joke of a q&a website that is just as shitty, unhelpful, stupid, and toxic as yahoo answers except it has even shittier rules and the people on this website are even worse than the website itself mostly because it’s full of condescending know it all pseudo intellectual morons that think they know everything about you all because of something you said on the internet and they automatically assume you’re a narcissist if you ask questions that sound even slightly pessimistic and/or self centered because they’re too retarded to understand that if someone is depressed or frustrated with life then of course they are going ask those type of question not only that but they are far too narcissistic themselves to admit they don’t know shit about anyone hell they couldn’t even admit they don’t know shit when they really don’t even if their life depended on it that’s how egotistical and full of shit qourans are it’s so bad that being a quoran is basically a combo insult it’s worse than being called a failure or a loser because at least those people are actually something

Person B: "Definitely that line from 'The Color Purple'...'All my life, I had to FIGHT!'"

Get the Quoprah mug.A person who thinks they know more than they really do about everything and will give their opinions in a condescending manner as if they could never be wrong. To the average or ill-informed questioner, this person will have lots to say and will seem knowledgeable enough, but people who really know them understand that this person is a phony. Any real expert or accomplished person would make the Quora Historian look like a child, which is what the Quora Historian fears most.
All of these Quora Historians are running around talking about the best running shoes and wind resistant headbands for a 5k, but I don't think a single one of them has broken 20 minutes.
