Mike Masnick ✅Realizing I've never tried a poll here. And also, feels like this kind of debate would be useful (refreshing?) about now. Which pie is better, and why is it pecan?
Pecan Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Apple Pie
Poll ended at .
I am quite amazed at how close this poll is running (and how many votes it has received).
Y'all have pretty strong opinions about pie.
Daytime folks, where is the love that pecan pie deserves? I can't believe it's losing this poll. Must be the bots.
I recognize some people were upset about the lack of their preferred pie choices. There were a lot: rhubarb, sweet potato, key lime, cherry, lemon merengue (which, to be clear, is not a pie people), and even some calls for some savory pies.
But an unfortunate limitation of polls here is a limit of four choices... though it appears I could allow multiple choices.
Perhaps we need to run a tournament style pie fight (like I did last year on Twitter with misunderstood legal concepts).
Mike Ely@mmasnick So ranked choice pie voting? I'm down, especially if a tasting is involved.

Joe Uchill@mmasnick Pizza and cheesecake are both pies.
Angie@JoeUchill @mmasnick no. I love both, but no.
Jeff Eckman 🥁@mmasnick don’t forget possum.
Leo Saumure@mmasnick best idea ever!

Pumpkin gets short shrift always because no ever considers it outside of Thanksgiving despite it being superior to Apple in all respect and Pecan usually as well. Somehow those are evergreen pies while pumpkin is seasonal! Injustice!!!

Andrea@mmasnick Combine rhubarb, lemon merengue and steak & kidney pie to create an omni-pie that will reduce those who attempt to eat it to gibbering wrecks who reject the entire concept of pie forever after
STEMTheBleeding@mmasnick Hey - Vox Pie, Vox Dei.
eabolden@mmasnick there is also chocolate truffle pie, and at least three versions of pecan pie. What about the crust? Should different crusts be considered different pies? I always thought there should be a category for square or rectangular pies so lemon bars would count as a pie. Crust-less pies should also be a thing. A wonderful survey idea #survey
Welcome2Absurdia@mmasnick correct, lemon merengue is not a pie flavor, it is a very cheery dance.
That Anonymous Coward3 selections each round.
Pie A
Pie B
Both
Neither (edited bit)
This then lets you seed the brackets, perhaps Sweet vs Savory.
solewhitelight@mmasnick bacon and egg pie is the one true pie

SallyBlackIn honor of the recent elections in the US,, you could do ranked-choice polling.
Ted Garrison@mmasnick ranked choice voting!
Vinay Aravind@mmasnick yes you must. Cherry and Lemon easily beat the original options.
Cathy Gellis@mmasnick We need ranked choice voting. It's the only way to keep the Sarah Palin of pies from winning.
Jim McGuire@cathygellis @mmasnick
Yes! And why not open it up to some other fine pies, like my favorite, Mince Pie?

Justin du Coeur@mmasnick Just a few weeks ago, my wife crafted most of a 32-entry PIe Tournament Bracket (I think she got to 25 entries before handing it off to the company Fun Committee), so it can certainly be done...
nobletrout@mmasnick lemon merengue pie is a pie. YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
