A vial of poison appears in front of every adult capable of drinking. A disembodied voice says you have to drink it or not.

  • Drink: You will die unless 50% of the population or more also drank, in which case you will all receive the antidote.
  • Don’t drink: nothing will happen to you but if more than half of the population doesn’t drink, the drinkers die.

You are not given any opportunity to discuss this situation with others.

I will

  • Drink
  • Not Drink.

You receive an email from a local fast casual restaurant with a promo code for a free sandwich with a purchase of $10 or more. You just happen to be planning on going to that restaurant anyway, and your order comes to more than $10. But your order plus the free sandwich is more food than you really want right then. The promo is only valid for a few days, so you’re not likely to come back to the restaurant again before it expires. Do you redeem the promo and get your free sandwich?

  • Yes, I’m not turning down free food. I’ll get the free sandwich and save it for later, or give it to a homeless person, or do something else with it.
  • No. No sense in getting a sandwich I’m not going to eat right now, even if it is free.

Do you answer polls in this thread honestly?

  • I always answer polls honestly. Boringly honest and honestly boring is my motto! :yawning_face: :lying_face:
  • It varies. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
  • I figure out what the pollster least wants to hear and then answer that. :smiling_face_with_horns:
  • Haha! You can’t tell if I am answering honestly or not! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
  • I figure out what the pollster most wants to hear and then answer that. :grinning_cat:
  • The fact that I usually answer “other,” proves that I am honestly special. :nerd_face:
  • I figure out how the majority voted and then vote that way, thus proving that I am not a weirdo! :disguised_face:
  • I honestly try to skew the results and vote against the majority because: Fuck the Majority! :goblin:
  • This silly poll was obviously made by someone suffering from acute insomnia. :sleeping_face: :grimacing:
  • I am not answering this poll honestly! :wink:
