Have you ever deleted a post because it didn't get enough likes?
Why people ask this
This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Tech and internet questions land because everyone has used something badly, sent a message they regret, or doomscrolled past their own bedtime this week. Questions like this one get played across every kind of group on have.you — couples on a first date, coworkers at team events, friends on long drives. Each setting produces a different answer, which is part of why Have You Ever has stayed in circulation long after most party games get retired.
