What's the difference between 0/0 and 1/0?

Stack Exchange has quickly turned into a garbage dump of obsolete answers. They have no means of clearing out answers that are totally out of date, which can lead to needless frustration when people need help with a framework or language.

For instance, Ember.js is still seeing lots of development and has changed drastically in some ways, but every time I've searched SO it almost always brings up questions from ~2013. I'm convinced that a lot of the so-called "learning curve" would go away if Stack Overflow was wiped out of existence, which is a weird thing to say having once been a big fan of Stack Exchange.

A better way to find solutions is to just join Slack/Discord/IRC servers for different software communities and ask questions there.

Don't even get me started on the toxic attitudes on SE.

One thing related: I do find I frequently need to check the date of a answer to find out whether it's out of date. Then, ......, I can't find where the year is. Their date format is so bizarre .......

One department is probably arguing that this increases overall traffic to SO.
