Been curious about the age distribution of Mastodon users.
Internet polls are known to be the most reliable method for any such estimation.*

*Trust me, I went to grad school in statistics.

Please boost to increase precision of the point estimate and to reduce confidence intervals.

Sure, I thought the slide rule was a cool new technology. And yes, it's good for some things.

But you really can't beat an abacus for most routine business calculations, for both convenience and precision.

The Babylonian numbering system is still superior, for many common counting and inventory situations.
