      I used to be a cook. He has goggles that say I am Combat Unit S rank. His rank goggles were made by other people he kidnapped with a balloon. My old name was Yuri Popov. Now I am the ‘Raving Crocodile’. I am a quiet man and am not a crocodile.i wish to go home. It seems I am working on some sort of military oil rig and everyone is really strange and likes getting hit by the boss.

      It’s one of life’s greatest mysteries, isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a god, watching over us, with, like, a plan for us and stuff? I dont know, but it keeps me up at night.

          Somehow The Boss had a cassette from my favorite western Gothic rock and roll band called The Cure, ironically. It was a song that wouldnt be recorded until almost 10 years later! Very suspicious. Robert Smith was very not in love on Fridays in 1984

    I heard rumours of a so-called “dushman” in Afghanistan. Are they believable?

      The Fulton wasnt so bad, but talking to Pequod the whole ride back was really something else. That helicopter had SO MUCH FUEL. It could fly from the base to both Central Africa and Afghanistan without refueling. Wherever we were that shouldn’t be remotely realistic for either.

Welcome to /c/AmA

Want a scheduled AMA announced ahead of time? Contact Awoo directly at the bottom of this sidebar.

Please stick to one of either three post types:

A standard Ask Me Anything post.

A request post – (What is the format and why should I make a request post?)

A gauging interest post – (What is this?)

What is an AmA?

AmA’s or “Ask Me Anything” began on the old internet, originally AOL chatrooms, later followed by Slashdot. They are crowdsourced interviews where the interviewee first makes a post describing who they are and what they do. Commenters then leave questions and can vote on other questions according to which they would like to see answered.

The interviewee can then go through and reply to the questions they find interesting, and easily see those questions the internet is dying to have the answer too. Questions will be a mixture of radical, serious and lighthearted resulting in the kind of interview you won’t get elsewhere.

What Topics Are Allowed?

Anyone can do an Ask Me Anything. The topic of the AmA must meet the rules below, and in some cases you must provide proof of the claims you are making. Ask Me Anything topics fall into two categories:

Something that plays a central role in your life. The prime example of this is a person’s job; posts about someone’s occupation are almost always allowed. A person’s topic should be something that they know thoroughly and is important to them; this gives them more to discuss and a more thorough background in the field.

A truly interesting and unique event. An example would be “I organised a protest against x.” It’s an activity that doesn’t play a central role in someone’s life but is so uncommon that many users would not have experiences of their own to relate to it.

AmAs should NOT be about:

Mutual-Aid and Crowd Funding - AmA submitters that include any aid or funding campaign must be eligible for an AmA without the campaign for it to be allowed. Additionally, the focus of the AmA must not be the campaign – those posts would be more appropriate in the mutual-aid community. Posts about suicide.

Other Restrictions:

Giveaways are not permitted on AmA. Contests and giveaways already running on a third party site prior to the AmA are acceptable

Proof

Proof in the case of public figures or orgs may be a social media post on an official account. For other topics it may be a proof image. This does not always have to be included in the post at the time of posting and it may be discussed with the moderators and provided privately. We will ALWAYS respect your complete privacy.
