I hope people reblog to give us a wide sample size, also I hope people put in the tags explaining in greater detail, or mention any category I might not have thought of (Your picture was not posted)

I have polls now, I’ve just realized, but here’s the thing I was looking forward to them because I used them so heavily on Livejournal back in the day, but that was such a different site than this! Now you’re supposed to vote and reblog and it’s all about getting a big sample size to extremely-subjectively and non-scientifically settle Big Questions About Society by asking leading questions and making as many strangers as possible weigh in with no way to correlate the “explain in the tags!” with people’s votes and no way to select what audience sees the poll except by using phrasing one side will like more. (Not to be a downer, they’re fun, but everyone knows this is not how you do science, right? I am not a scientist but I do know that much.)

I used polls for things like… I’m looking at shoes, should I get the black ones or the red ones. And that was awesome. And the people on my f-list would vote, and it would help me choose in the way that asking RL friends for help did, where when everyone said “black” you were like “oh i was super hoping they’d say red” but you hadn’t realized that what you were looking for was validation not actual input. Anyway so you’d get the red ones even though black had a better photo and won in a landslide, and it’d be the right choice, that’s how this goes.

If that got reblogged it’d be a wild disaster and there’d be discourse.

So. I don’t have any earthshattering data science to do, I just wanted to ask my friends their opinions on things. I guess I could still use them that way and the reason I haven’t seen other people using them that way is that they’re not getting reblogged?

Anyway so I should put my first poll in this. And set it to no-reblog so well-meaning people don’t spread this outside of its context, which is one middle-aged lady talking to people who presumably know who she is on the Internet.

Mmm what shall I ask. Oh I know. I have fabric and patterns and very little time.

what should I sew next?
