These are some US regional hot dog styles according to Google’s AI. I do not vouch for the accuracy of these or their popularity in their particular region (except for the Chicago one).

Which ones do you like or sound appealing to you? Choose as many as you’d like.

  • Chicago Dog: An all-beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun, “dragged through the garden” with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
  • New York Hot Dog: A kosher-beef hot dog served on a white bun. A classic New York street dog comes with spicy brown mustard, sauerkraut, and a splash of cooked onion sauce.
  • Seattle Dog: A hot dog topped with cream cheese and grilled onions, often with sriracha and jalapeños.
  • Sonoran Dog: A hot dog wrapped in bacon, placed in a bolillo-style roll, and topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, mayo, mustard, and salsa.
  • D.C. Half-Smoke: A spicy, smoked sausage that is half beef and half pork, served on a bun with mustard and onions.
  • Detroit Coney: A hot dog topped with a savory bean-free chili, diced yellow onions, and yellow mustard, served on a steamed white bun.
  • Atlanta Dog: A hot dog topped with a generous amount of chili, slaw (coleslaw), onions, and mustard.
  • Kansas City Hot Dog: A pork and beef hot dog on a sesame seed bun, topped with melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and brown mustard.
  • None of these appeal to me.

I thought about doing the world’s 10 busiest transit systems, but half of them are in China and only two of them are outside of Asia, so I thought that wouldn’t get much of a response. So I went through Wikipedia’s list of transit systems and picked a few from each continent.

Serious political question that I’ve mused on elsewhere, but not so directly… (A bit dark, so feel free to skip if you come here for random silliness.)

Given where you think the country and world is headed in the next 5-10 years, which of the following basic life activities would you consider to be so futile or counterproductive to basic survival that you would stop or have stopped doing it (assume all options are still relevant to your life and you’d willingly do it or have to do it in more stable times), or actively discourage someone else from doing it? (I’m assuming that nobody involved in this hypothetical is someone who’d actually thrive under Trump’s ideal.)

  • Working
  • Paying taxes
  • Saving or investing money
  • Having children
  • Maintaining residence in a red state
  • Maintaining residence in the United States
  • None of these (at least not to the point I’m comfortable ceasing or discouraging them)
  • There’s another activity I’d cease or discourage that would be as disruptive as the above options, but it’s not listed here.

For example, one could argue, what good is having a job when the fascist dystopia is going to ruin the economy/dollar/industry/daily life? Wouldn’t that time and money be better spent fleeing or protesting or on guns?

  • Yes, many; I still have a relationship with at least one out of necessity or desire
  • Yes, a few; I still have a relationship with at least one out of necessity or desire
  • Yes, many, but they’re all out of my life
  • Yes, a few, but they’re all out of my life
  • No, everyone significant in my life has been compatible with my beliefs and values
