Yahoo Answers is shutting down, so you can stop worrying about all the embarrassing questions you posted in high school

First we lost AIM and MSN messenger. Now we’re losing another archaic way of procrastinating on the internet. Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4. If, like this writer, you spent your time online in the ’00s asking deeply embarrassing questions, like what that weird thing in your body is, or how to solve your math homework, you might either be relieved that you won’t stumble upon your cringey question or sad to lose such a nostalgic site. In case you missed out on using Yahoo Answers, it was basically Reddit’s predecessor, where people could ask questions in sections related to specific topics, like “Health” or “Family & Relationships.”
