Shit. I froze, but took the poll, so my answer's wrong.

Shit, shit. Now I've taken the poll, and left a response, so even my last answer was wrong. Stop doing this to me! 😂

@thefathippy @dgar this was one of the best traps for people with a condition that should be called “analitus logicae” - after a version of your trip I was forces to choose “vote and comment” even though that’s technically not true because usually I skip them - bwaaah and I can’t not comment because I’ve already pressed that!!! You bastard!!😁😁

@dgar I'm usually 50-50 on whether to leave a comment or not after responding to a poll, but I think I'll comment this time. :)

@dgar depending on poll I will either watch results or take it, boosting if I really interested in poll. But will always read a poll, thanks for freezing me, can I go back to scrolling

@dgar @mousey Make a snarky comment about how expecting “ignore it” votes indicates a fundamental optimism in your nature.
Show threadPinkyMay 10
@dgar I only take certain polls, and as that's not an option in this poll, I didn't take it 😅
Show threadDgarMay 10
@pinky this is definitely an uncertain poll. 🤭

@dgar I ignored it and continued scrolling. Margin of error, right?

@dgar ok so with this comment i lied in the poll because, well, i'm commenting now. (but usually i take all the polls. all of them. stealthily, no comments.)

but i couldn't help but notice that at this time 257 people have taken it and 17 people have boosted it, which is significantly less than the 20 percent that claim to do so.

we're all liars and our pants are on fire!

Show thread👀May 10
@dgar though when i look again there are 89 boosts. i should learn not to trust mastodons first sights.
Show threadebrumMay 11

@maria @dgar now that the poll is closed, we have 1853 answers*0.16(ppl who say boost)= 296 theoretical boosts vs 334 boosts

From this I conclude the liars are not the ones who took the poll but the ones who didn't take the poll and boosted anyway (maybe some bots?)

@ebrum @dgar i applaude you mathing the lying participants of this poll!

@dgar

Take the poll and leave a comment

Because even though you included a large number of options, the most fitting one isn't there:
Take the poll, boost it and leave a comment about the missing option, and to explain your choice to make sure they don't misinterpret the compromise selection I made.

Show threadbencourticeMay 10
@dgar I just click on the "show results" button then move on, mostly (but this time I left a comment as well :)

Have fun knowing that your poll results will be inaccurate 😈😂

What to do with a poll about what to do when presented with a poll? This could be the start of an infinite regression.

Selected Take & Boost the poll. Yet perversely, as I type this comment I have not hit Boost yet.
Also, it does depend on the poll, so it could have been a, scroll on by scenario instead 🤷.
Let's hope I remember to hit the poll's boost button.
