opening

Welcome, debaters!

moot.ing is the active verb form of taking a stand. Bring your half-formed thoughts, your wildest takes, and your friendliest disagreements. We are all moot-ing together.

prompt

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

The eternal question, mooted again. Use your words, draw a diagram, file a brief. Whatever you bring, it counts as a contribution to the record.

rule

No bad takes, only takes

A moot point is a point worth raising. We celebrate the act of arguing, not the outcome. Disagree fiercely, party afterwards.

moot #001

Pineapple on pizza

Resolved: ham assists. Resolved: cheese coexists. Resolved: pineapple, when applied with conviction, is allowed. Dissent welcome at the speech bubble below.

moot #002

The best season is autumn

Crisp air, bright leaves, sweater weather. The opposing bench will argue otherwise. Summer fans, your turn at the podium is next.

moot #003

Cereal is soup

A bowl, a liquid, a solid in the liquid. The shape of the argument is suspiciously soup-like. Counter-arguments accepted in confetti form.

aside

A small disagreement

Sometimes the smallest moots are the most fun. Tiny bubble, big energy.

moot #004

Is silence a sound?

The audiophile says yes. The philosopher says only the absence of sound. The librarian asks you both to keep it down. The poet writes a haiku and submits it as evidence.

moot.ing accepts haiku as evidence. moot.ing accepts almost everything as evidence. The judge is a confetti cannon.

moot #005

Toilet paper: over or under?

An ancient quarrel. A modern truce. Both sides are right; both sides will fight again at the next family dinner.

moot #006

Are dogs people?

Legally: no. Spiritually: yes. In any reasonable household: clearly yes. The motion carries with a wagging tail.

moot #007

The end of the alphabet is the best part

X, Y, Z -- the unsung trio. They go to fewer parties, but every time they show up, something exciting happens: x-rays, yodel, zigzag.

moot.ing files a motion to celebrate them more often.
