Many of us on platforms like this are introverts, or autistic, or have social anxiety, or for whatever reason, have trouble meeting new people or engaging with strangers. If someone wanted to engage you in conversation, what topic would you be happiest to talk about?

    I’m definitely an introvert, but you could get me to talk for ages about my personal hobbies and interests.

    Just ask me about space or rockets or airplanes or building trebuchets.

      What, do you think, would be the worst material from which to build a trebuchet and have it still function?

        I just saw a short video of a mini trebuchet. It was made from thin wood, like 1" by 1" and a 5 gallon pail. You just let it go and two legs sticking up at about 45°, hit the ground and make it flip weirdly.Really chuck that sucker pretty far, whatever they threw.
