TIL that there is an Indian equivalent to the whole Chuck Norris joke phenomenon. Is that true?

Nog Shine

@steelersquirrel @AnkitSharma 's answer is also accurate but I will add my perspective and some reason behind rebirth.

FreezePhoenix

@steelersquirrel you can leave a comment asking for them to touch up their question a bit more.

@steelersquirrel How are you doing?

steelersquirrel

@FreezePhoenix Yeah, I know. I'm not doing that to this question, because I don't really understand it in the first place.

@FreezePhoenix I'm good! How are you?

FreezePhoenix

Q: If an ask is closed, are you allowed to ask new one entailing the same question?

My first ask, instead of simply being a question, was a detailed rant about the subject. The question ended up closed because of this, with one answer before its closing. Why do some people believe Cartman genuinely cares for Kyle? If I don't find the question accurate, am I allowed to ask the...

Many modern computers with high resolution screens and good graphics cards are perfectly capable of displaying 4k content.
