I have no idea where I heard first about Aardvark, but as it’s now owned by Google it may have been some crafty advertising on Gmail. I installed the Vark App on my iPhone and I try and answer questions, or ask stupid questions myself when there’s nothing better do it. Somehow I find it more rewarding than playing mindless games.
Anyway, here are a few replies I received to some random questions I have asked:
“Travel: Where would you rather be right now?”
John K. 43 / M / Denver, US “exactly where I am”Yabbox “Good answer. You lucky man.”John K. “very”
Lauren F. 28 / F / Middle Village, US “zihuatanejo!”Yabbox “It looks idyllic. Take me with you!”Lauren F. “Wish I could take myself!!”
“Random: You become the invisible wo/man for 15 minutes. Where would you go/ what would you do?”
Dustin M. 25 / M / Missoula, US “Rob a bank”Yabbox “Nice. I didn’t think of that.”Dustin M. “I mean, look at women, listen to gossip, play pranks on people, or get rich?Yabbox “Apart from wander around the rooms of a high class brothel, I thought of stealing a passport, or walking across immigration, or issuing myself a round the world airplane ticket, stealing a yacht, etc. Similar lines I guess, but yours has more potential!”
“Random: You’re home is being destroyed by fire or flood. What three things would you save before fleeing? Your family is already safe.”
Ian M. 26 / M / San Jose, US “id (birth cert, other documents), laptop, cell phone and charger.”Yabbox “Modern day essentials. Frightening but realistic. Thanks.”Ian M. “yeah…pretty much everything else is optional”
Melissa A. 29 / F / Dubai, United Arab Emirates “harddrives, bicycle, plants”Yabbox “Superb answer. Realistic, practical and loving.”Melissa A. “cool”
“Dreams: You wake up in the morning in a strange but wonderful bed. Where are you?”
Maria F. 20 / F / Lisbon, Portugal “I don’t know, but if I woke up in an unfamiliar place without having any memory of how I got there, I’d call the police.”
Greg S. 25 / M / St. Louis, US “A hammock suspended between two doric columns overlooking the ocean on Santorini.”
“Fantasy: Time stands still for a day, people freeze, except you. What would you do with your total freedom?”
Fernando B. 31 / M / Sao Paulo, Brazil “Probably will try to raise as much money as I can …”
“Airlines: Are all male flight attendants gay? If I were a flight attendant would you automatically presume I was gay?”
Skyphone G. 40 / M / London, UK “I won’t assume right off that you might be gay if you are a flight attendant not unless you might be giving away signs of being effeminate? Being competent flight attendant demands a rigorous attention to details when it comes to serving demanding flight passengers. Only highly qualified individuals are fortunate to qualify & most of these qualities can only be found on people with specific attributes regardless of their sexual orientation.”
Why don’t you sign up to Aardvark and ask / answer your own random thoughts, and sometimes more serious questions too.
