Silly #Poll: where are you along the #neckbeard pipeline? (Note: the neckbeard is metaphorical. No actual facial hair required) Also, please remember #DanesLaw: no matter how carefully someone attempts to construct a poll, the very first comment will usually expose a glaring oversight. That's just how it goes.

hah! See #DanesLaw

lol look at the hashtag, there are examples/explainers. ;)

But in brief, #DanesLaw is the law that states that no matter how painstakingly well you construct a poll, you will get a comment right away from someone completely exposing a critical logical flaw in the way you structured it. ;)

lol #DanesLaw strikes again.

Yes, a home-made PVR system absolutely fits, although I'm not 100% if Youtube content counts. XD

The likelihood that a commenter will expose some glaring logical gap in a poll you just posted is something I've encountered SO many times that I coined my own term for it: #DanesLaw XD

It's a good inclusion, as it's kind of a category-melder.

See #DanesLaw ;)
