Well, for me, I have to because of the program I use for school. I also use it to research many topics. I've been writing articles about animals (and some other things), and I can't learn everything from a book. I joined this site because I wanted to learn about ducks, chickens, and other poultry. I love researching and learning about things, especially when we can't go out and do things now with the Corona Virus.
My parents trust me not to get into anything I shouldn't.
And I've been lonely af. I don't really have any friends, we've moved every year until now, and being homeschooled I don't get to see people often.
On here I finally felt like I had someone to talk to, even if ya'll think I'm crazy.

We like you. You make break the internet rules.

Hypothetical question for y'all:
(I'm half tempted to make this post into it's own thread later with better pics and graph paper drawings.)

If you had the space (AND your own backhoe) in your backyard, without any worry over HOA or city reg's as we are out in county only jurisdiction.
Would you :
A) actually dig the proper sized hole for a realistic pond for your Koi babies?
B) how close to the house would you put it?
C) Or just figure out a way to make some kind of built-in faux pond using the current horse troughs? (The small one is the entire natural filter unit)
That styrofoam is the temporary solar insulation to reduce the thermal saturation from direct sunlight.

(I have learned that for the koi to survive the occasional freezes and frost that the pond will.need to be a minimum of 48" deep for them the excape the ice and extreme summer hot water near and including the surface.)
