Asks: read along

18 asks of this kind (Show up), 2007–2026; 0 (0 %) have a result, thanks or close reported in a later video. Each ask lists the opening request, up to three reminders and every reported outcome, each linked to its video and moment. "No report" means nothing inside this snapshot — not that the ask failed. Back to Asks & outcomes.

Dates are upload dates, which set the order. Where the speaker gives a different recording date in the video, it is added as "said on YYYY-MM-DD, implied" (derived from the date said in the video). Intervals ("N days later") and relative deadlines are counted from that said-on date.
