What the heck, I'll bite

First Name? Bunnspecial(plenty of people here know my real name, but I'd rather not share it openly)

How many hours a day do you spend on the computer? By most standards, too many...probably 10+, sometimes 15, although plenty of days where I spend less
How many computers do you own? Way too many...see https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/does-anyone-have-more-powerpc-macs-than-i-do.1816059/ That list is out of date, and doesn't include non-Apple stuff(although most of that's pretty obscure)
What is your favorite color? Red
What kind of music do you like? Country
What are your goals? As I use to say every day when I was in Chemistry grad school and people would ask me what I was working on...Cure cancer and solve the world energy crisis
Who are your heroes?

Oh, there's also the 5th key ring in my desk drawer with the not-so-often-used keys that has probably 20 keys on it. They won't give me a master key at work, but trust me with a key to 95% of the rooms in the building.

Hate to say it, but:

"A new way to give away security question clues..."

Gee by now doesn't everyone just make those up as they go, one set for each site that demands them? And store the Q&A in their encrpted password manager?

Maybe not. I guess there are still people dutifully coughing up real data on demand.... what, have they been living in a cave?

Anyway whoever thinks to have stolen all my identify info from all over the net will realize that I have led a busy busy busy life attending to upwards of a hundred of my "first household pet" with their hundred different names. And traveling all around the world to the hundred "location of first job". And making sure to thank all my hundred "first grade teacher" by their hundred different names whenever I dream of bumping into all of them at once while visiting some hundred-year-old (real) neighbor in a (real) nursing home...

Normally I say hello and drop my pants. Then say, now you.
Don’t think that would work here

I can't imagine that this has much by way of success as a courting strategy, a dating strategy, let alone a social strategy.

My cave is quite cosy, you know.

It isn't much different unless you want to involve sexism and state a woman-cave is an arts and crafts den. Contrary to popular opinion, most men and women tend to share similar base interests which spread from there.

Actually, this is pretty much my own view as well.

For what it is worth, my question was both rhetorical and ironical in intent.

This is how I'm going to collect survey data from now on

I've always thought the term "man-cave" sounded way more homoerotic than its users probably intend…

“He never lets me in his man-cave.”

It likely goes back much farther than that but it's true enough that skills mastery starts with the essential, even if we don't know why some species engage in precisely this or that skill, like weaving as opposed to decorating. Consider the oriole weaving her hanging nest, or the creatures including birds that exhibit collecting and caching tendencies, or the bowerbirds that decorate their nesting area with found materials (colored pebbles, flower petals, assorted mosses).

It's fun to read about the equivalent of identity thieves in the "less evolved" world: for instance parasitic birds like the lazy but adaptive cuckoo laying an egg in some other bird's nest, depending then for species survival on the hatchling's greater size to permit it to compete best for food brought by the host birds, or even to pluck up the host's own nestlings and throw them from the nest. And then there is the even more evolved cuckoo finch, which trades on the fact that a host bird imprints on her own eggs and may be influenced in that regard by noticing which kind of eggs in her nest are more numerous, sometimes removing and discarding her own eggs when the cuckoo finch has managed to get into the nest early on and to bump up its count of potential impostors.

The non PC answer is the kitchen!
The actual answer in most cases is the rest of the house!

Well, I was about to add that re my woman-cave, entry is by invitation only, when I realised how that might, er, sound, or come across, on these threads.

Thanks all for the reply. I was on vacations and wasn't able to catchup with the forum. I hope to participate in the discussion more often.
