I finally started asking 'what's the worst that could happen' after a friend in Denver told me my questions were too safe
Honestly, that one comment made me switch from asking basic 'how-to' stuff to way more open-ended 'what-if' scenarios, which has gotten me way better answers, so what's the most out-there question you've ever asked here?

Nice! That shift from safe to bold questions is huge. I see it everywhere, where people stick to the script and miss the real answers. My wildest one was probably asking if you could run a city entirely on recycled heat from server farms.

Wait, isn't that basically what they do in some places? I mean, I swear I read about a data center in Finland that heats homes. The real trick is moving the heat where you need it, which seems like a huge pain. Cool idea though.

Reminds me of my own terrible "what if we used hamster wheels" phase.
