A mischievous genie magically replaces your usual automobile with its foreign-market version, where the steering wheel is on the opposite side. So if you had a left-hand drive vehicle, it’s now a right-hand drive vehicle, and vice versa. (If you didn’t have an automobile in the first place, well, now you do.) Which three of these do you consider to be the biggest disadvantages to this new situation? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6853))_ ---

Another language poll. English is changing. Without stating that either is right or wrong, which usage sounds more normal and natural to contemporary you? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6854))_ While we’re here, which of the following paradigms have all three forms for you? (In other words, if you generally prefer “the ship sunk,” DO NOT vote “sink sank sunk.”) I’ve thrown in a couple of truly archaic ones, and voted for them, because I like them, but I don’t expect normal people to vote for them. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6854))_ ---

The news had a segment on people from other countries visiting the United States for the World Cup and trying ranch dressing for the first time. They reported that 75% liked or loved it. Many visitors are taking bottles of ranch home with them in their luggage. This leads me to ask: Do you like ranch dressing? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6857))_ ---

Spinoff of my [GD thread on atheism](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-atheists-who-aren-t-materialists-truly-atheists/1030197): You meet a person who is generally the type of person you like to interact with. You start to get to know them, and you find them interesting, intelligent, and likable. Then you find out from a third party that they believe in something not currently supported by science (religion, spirituality, FTL travel, ghosts, mole men, whatever) but NOT what it is (or are) or to what extent. How does this affect your opinion of this person? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6862))_ ---

You have won three separate 7-day all-expenses paid vacations to any of the cities listed below. You may travel any time within the next three years, one one-week trip each year. You may take one other person with you. You cannot double or triple-up on any city. You are free to travel outside of the city during your vacation, but you must return and stay every night within your chosen city. Select up to three cities (or fewer), or “none of the above”.

Option A: The world as we know it, pregnancy and infant and toddler stage Option B: A world where there is no pregnancy, and instead you simply “spawn” kids at will, but with a 9-month notice period - you get to have your kids appear at whatever point of development you want. You can skip the baby stage and just have your kids be 4-year olds or 9-year olds at the very outset, capable of speaking or walking as they would normally. You do not get to choose anything else about your kid, though (their gender, appearance, disability, personality, etc. is just as unpredictable as real life.) _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6871))_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642.md?page=342) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642.md?page=344)
