Inspired by an episode of Northern Exposure where a seriously ill Joel dreams that he gives birth to a baby daughter:

Before you were pregnant, or despite never being pregnant, did you ever dream that you were pregnant?

Do you believe that adults that play with LEGOs are immature and/or weird?

  • Yes. LEGOS are for kids. Adults that play with LEGOs are immature and/or weird. :face_with_monocle:
  • No. Playing with LEGOS can be fun as an adult and it is not indicative of immaturity and/or weirdness. :nerd_face:
  • It is only acceptable to me if they are playing with an 18+ LEGO set. :unamused:
  • I’m undecided on whether playing with LEGOs as an adult is immature and/or weird. Definitively committing to an opinion on this subject is currently beyond my cognitive capabilities. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
  • I have no opinion on the matter because I am kind of dull but I still like voting in polls! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
  • This issue is much too important to not expound upon at length! Therefore I shall vote “Other” and then delight and fascinate you with my complex yet nuanced opinions on this most weighty colloquy forthwith. :yawning_face: :sleeping:

Diners in a number of online restaurant reviews express outrage/disgust over finding a hair in their food.

  • A hair in one’s food at a restaurant is revolting and justifies health department intervention
  • If I spot a hair in my food I’ll demand a new serving
  • Hair in one’s food mandates a refund or at least a free dessert
  • Meh, I’ll pick out the hair and eat
  • A hair is OK; fingernails and stray body parts are too much
  • Diners who obsess about a hair in their food have no idea what goes on back in the kitchen
  • I inspect the server for cleanliness and good grooming before ordering
  • I only eat at home

A genie offers to magically de-age you so that you can relive your life starting from high school. You’ll retain your memories and experiences of your current life but can’t use them to grossly enrich yourself (through bets, investments, etc.). You are, however, free to make different life choices.

  • I accept, but only if this means going back in time to my own high school experience.
  • I accept, but only if this means becoming a high-school student in the present day.
  • I accept either way.
  • I refuse the genie’s offer.
