Paul Flo Williams<p>What is the point of this? <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fugly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fugly</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pointless</span></a></p>
Michael Horne<p>I'm still on X. For my sins. I used to get so much engagement there. I now get so little. It's sad, really. Guess that's what happens when you sell a platform to an almighty tosser who doesn't care a jot.</p><p>Think I might quit very soon. I tend to only use it to do <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pointless</span></a> interaction anyways.</p>
Mark H<p>Catching up with some TV quizzing and my admittedly limited knowledge of UK Top 40 hits by KC &amp; The Sunshine Band was nevertheless good enough for three <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pointless</span></a> answers today.</p>
ჯąօʂƓҽìʂէ✫<p>Kinder wollen auf Herdplatten greifen.<br>Sie wissen was "warm" und "heiß" bedeutet. Sie wollen wissen, wie heiß die Platte sein kann.<br>Das gilt natürlich nicht für alle Kinder. Manche greifen auch rauf, weil da oben was steht das sie haben wollen. Und viele haben grad überhaupt keinen Gefahreninstinkt. Aber ich war so ein Kind, das es wissen wollte.<br>Heute will ich wissen, wie sich die Oberfläche der Sonne anfühlt, wenn mir die Hitze nichts ausmachen würde. Oder, wie stark der Wind und der Druck einer Atombombe ist, wenn er mich nur nicht zerfetzen würde. Oder, wie groß das Universum ist, wenn ich nur so alt werden könnte, und das noch dazu, ohne dabei meinen Verstand zu verlieren.</p><p><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/Pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pointless</span></a></p>
Mark H<p>Catching up with today's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pointless</span></a> and if there's ever a question to which the answer is either the Shirelles, the Shangri-Las, the Ronettes, the Chiffons, the Crystals, or the Velvelettes then we will definitely get it right at the sixth guess.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Quiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Quiz</span></a></p>

Mark H<p>I don't think we pay enough attention to politics in the rest of the commonwealth here in the UK, but on today's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pointless</span></a> that we've just caught up with we managed to get two pointless answers for the final round of Aussie Prime Ministers with A, U, or S in their surnames. So yay us!</p>

Getting 1k followers for your average <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Jane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jane</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Joe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Joe</span></a> is mostly impossible unless they adopt the philosophy of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/f4f" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>f4f</span></a> which is <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pointless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pointless</span></a> mostly.</p><p>That's not good enough for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a>.
