I Love Kava Friday Friday Poll: What is Kava?

[Kojo Douglas]

Looks like the jury is out.

 

[Groggy]

This Friday post is lackluster.

My female boss referred to kava today as a nice root to suck on and told my female coworker you just need to find a nice root to suck on.

That sounds...

It's a shrub. You can't have a poll about facts

Sure you can:

What is 2 + 2?

A. 7
B. 3
C. -4
D. 4
E. Aleph Null
F. Aleph One​

You may select multiple answers.

The outcome of the poll doesn't change the facts, but it does give you a metric of how many people know the fact. Or how many smartasses there are on your Forum.

Can you have a poll about the facts?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B​

OK, let me make the case for kava being a virus. Viruses are not independent life forms. They require a host, which they infect to make more copies of themselves. Domesticated kava does not grow in the wild. It is propagated by cuttings made by human kava growers. In other words, kava "infects" the minds of kava drinkers, causing them to create more reproductions of itself..

What the heck is "kava" anyway?

Nitpicking, but it's "what is A kava".

A. Yes
B. No
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B​

Ha!

OK, tallying the votes on Saturday morning:
7 people say kava is a shrub.
11 people say kava is not a shrub.
Therefore, kava is not a shrub.

Democracy is so beautiful.

Too bad that doesn't answer to OP's question.

 

[Capitán Bastos]

Too bad that doesn't answer to OP's question.

I disagree, it does bring OP closer to the solution. If you study the data so far, kava is not a shrub, two votes for "tree" and one for virus vs eight votes for "vertebrates".
I'm prepared to push forward the motion that we have a poll determining what type of vertebrae kava is. That should narrow this down even more.

Dude, I am the OP. I am satisfied with that answer to my question.

We should also entertain the possibility that there actually are different kinds of kava: Mammalian, Reptilian, Viral, Arboreal, and who knows possibly even "shrubs", although the latter seems pretty unlikely.

Kava is love. Kava is life.

But you asked 'What is kava' not 'What isn't kava'.

 

[Squanch72]

Kava is my favorite accessory

 

[verticity]

But you asked 'What is kava' not 'What isn't kava'.

Correct, but using Mathematician Kurt Gödel's Transitive Theory of Stierscheiß, if you know what something 'is not' then you also know what that thing 'is', if you use use the correct Stierscheißian formulation for the meaning of the word 'is'. I can't believe I have to explain this to you..

This thread is fantastic.
