Ask your most pressing questions and someone will shake the magic 8 ball to answer you. You can use this magic 8 ball or make up your own answer. [https://magic-8ball.com/](https://magic-8ball.com/) If you’re making up your own answer, please try to be appropriate to the question and not morbid or negative. This is just a fun game. Please quote the question you’re answering. Some questions to start: What shall I have for dinner? Will Bezos make it to Mars? How many lumps of sugar should I add to my coffee/tea? Will 2021 be a great year? Shall I get a new puppy this year? ---

Well, “What shall I have for dinner?” came back “Very doubtful.” ---

Hmm. Maybe I need to clarify the rules. One person writes the question. Someone else is supposed to write the answer. My example to myself was only because no one else wrote a question yet. Like this: > [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > “ **Do we have better things to do with our time?** ” Ask again later. ---
