"My calendar is open and up-to-date, feel free to schedule some time that works for both of us."
And if they're not inside my Company?
"Here's the link to my Calendar. Feel free to find some time that's convenient."
If your Company uses Microsoft 365, Outlook Web will give you a public link to the free/busy view of your Calendar that you can share. I have it in my Email signature.

When I'm driving with my wife, I don't really ask questions, I'll just kind of wonder out loud to myself, and usually she's also interested in knowing the answer, so she looks it up and then tells me.

Give them your own suitable times and let them choose. "I'm available Monday afternoon, Wednesday between 10 and 12, and Friday morning. Would one of those times work for you?"

In addition to what others have said, sometimes people also would like to ask a reliable source with experience rather than strangers on the internet where you have no idea what their experience or background on the matter is

Someone says whenever at work about a meeting and I just schedule it around my own time. Works fine for me.

Do you mind sharing your flexibility training experience or routine? Should I start by [trying to] touch my toes or what?

I like to say that I'd agree with them, but then we'd both be wrong.

I don't agree with this. Some topics are really emotional. I know people like to act as if showing emotion during an argument means you've lost, but it's only natural if you're arguing over a topic that is personal or emotional to somebody.

If you're worried about that then you can shake it off outside like I said. Still free and still better than throwing away all of that paper towel. No clogs required.

None of those are on the scale of PLANETARY FAILURE.
Nuclear weapons are human operated instantaneously, and disease you can quarantine, there are methods to stop transmission that can be done on a personal level.
Again, climate change is something that will affect the entire planet. We don't have anything else. There's no magic fix that tech can offer us. There's no other planet to escape to. We have this, or nothing.

This is what I do. Stand back from the sink, all the hairs fall to the floor. When done I sweep it up and toss it in the trash can. It's literally the same thing they do at any barber shop or salon. I figure if it works for them, it will work for me.

Then the hair will go in the washer, which will be a lot more expensive to repair if the drain gets clogged.

Dry facial hair, mini vac, no more hairs.

Definitely not my go-to first response, but I've been known to tell my SO to google whatever question he has on occasion. Those occasions being when we're driving home after work and I'm plugging away on my phone at something I've wanted to get done all day, but couldn't because of work, and he decides he needs to ask many questions in succession. I will try to answer them as much as I can, but it does sometimes land on "I don't know, you should probably google that". Which usually gets a me "Okay, you're not driving, you google it." Which... yes, I could, in fact google it to give him the satisfaction of the answer right then and there, but I am also very obviously doing something and the thing that I am doing is not less important than some random piece of information you decided you needed to know thirty seconds ago.
So, like many have said, definitely not a go-to response in general conversation, but plausible in some situations.

I notice this all the time, especially in social settings, but I have yet to figure out a way to point it out without damaging my own reputation with whichever group we're in.

Think that this is a bit of stretch. If Keanu Reeves wanted me to pitch my latest script idea to him in person, I would postpone my open heart surgery. so yeah, 'whenever'.
When I hear the word evasive being bandied about, it implies dishonesty of some kind. Pretty sure that's really not the case.
