Hypothetically, you are a resident, homeowner in Florida, whose home has been destroyed by the recent double event. This is the _first_ time your property has been destroyed, but who knows what the future will hold. After the destruction, your insurance carrier offers you the following settlement options, and advises they are ending business in the state. Which offer do you accept? [for the hypothetical, these will all be considered legal offers within the confines of your insurance contract] _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5410))_ ---

You are in solitary confinement in prison or a concentration camp. You don’t _think_ you’re going to be executed…but the regime is unpredictable. You are normally served the usual rubbish food, but one day an extravagant 5-course gourmet meal with many dishes is suddenly brought to your cell and left with no explanation. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5411))_ ---

Every year, my family gets together to decorate Christmas cookies. I usually make three varieties of cutout cookies, in advance, and we spend the afternoon decorating them (and eating snacks.) My brother-in-law gets creative which is how we ended up with the Christmas Walrus and Cookie Stonehenge. I always make gingerbread cookies. But I need to decide the other two flavors I will make. I am going to try a ranked choice poll for it. (Not sure that will work too well, because the poll results only give the winner. If there is not a two-way tie, I will submit another poll for the second cookie flavor.) _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5413))_ ---

Who is your favorite non-verbal animated character(s)? For purposes of this poll characters who appear together in the same series will be grouped together. I’m going to say characters who “speak” but can’t be understood by the audience, like Kenny from South Park or Boomhauer from King of the Hill don’t count. So don’t pick “other” if you’re thinking of someone like them. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5414))_ ---
