The remaining 10% were on Ketamine?

wildlifeseb.bsky.social•5 days ago

How many know where Iran is, or why it got attacked?
How many know why Iran is not a liberal democracy?

mishaoutloud.bsky.social•5 days ago

What about being at war with Iran's nuclear program? Did anyone think to ask the public how we feel about being at war with Iran's nuclear program? >.<

The Republican numbers will invert by the end of the week. For those who say no, it's because they expect capitulation.

dottiedino.bsky.social•5 days ago

But they also know Don will make their money go bye bye with a word and they are scare

Not suit. Forehead.

I don’t have a stapler that would do that, but I do have a staple gun…

cleanwindows.bsky.social•5 days ago

no stapler. what about a javelin, would that work?

grissallia.bsky.social•5 days ago

The kind that's used in the Olympics? Maybe.
The kind that's used to blow up tanks? Probably not.

rincewind.run•5 days ago

quite literally outpolled by the bubonic plague

ilmarinen7.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm sceptical that the 52% of Americans against the Hundred Years War even know who was fighting.

Perhaps the question was viewed more as a proposal, that they didn't like the sound of.

Though God knows what the 13% pro-HYW thought they were voting for. Joan of Arc fans?

courtneymilan.com•5 days ago

WHO ARE THE 9%!!!

“It created a lot of opportunity and hastened the coming of the Industrial Revolution”

yellowstoneten.bsky.social•5 days ago

half of it is Lizardman's Constant, the other half is like "well, it ended feudalism"

foxityfox.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean you can draw a direct line from the black death to the birth of computers and thus the internet and from there to social media where we all are now so...

madamehardy.bsky.social•5 days ago

THIS.

babsallday.bsky.social•5 days ago

this is my question also

jacksheriff.bsky.social•5 days ago

I wouldn’t have guessed there were that many Malthusian plague stans

coreyryung.bsky.social•5 days ago

RFK Jr voters

sheeri.org•5 days ago

I’m gonna guess racists who think the black plague is some disease killing Black people.

mumbly-joe.bsky.social•5 days ago

the secretary of health and human services, for one

virginiaopossum.bsky.social•5 days ago

The ones who are impressed with themselves for knowing the Black Death paved the way for the rise of capitalism.

rmjaywalk.bsky.social•5 days ago

some people click the wrong answer accidentally, some people just like to answer in an absurd way as a joke

amyhoy.bsky.social•5 days ago

jokers, one hopes

knowtheory.net•5 days ago

I'm surprised that the eugenics caucus wasn't all over this!

tempestarubida.bsky.social•5 days ago

RFK cultists

lizardky.bsky.social•5 days ago

Monty Python fans, and people who were told the Black Plague, by increasing the value of peasant labor, led to social changes giving the lower classes more rights?

(At least, James Burke said this, though not in a pro-Plague way.)

“Pro-plague and pro-plague accessories”

elsieyork.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah. That was my knee jerk take - more pay for workers. But you phrased it so much better.
I hadn’t considered the Monty Python fans.

arkayne242.bsky.social•5 days ago

Anti-vaxxers?

Did you not see Ratatouille?

garlaxweaselking.bsky.social•5 days ago

Devotees if RFK Jr I assume?

pfessenbecker.bsky.social•5 days ago

I can't believe the Buboes are on my body! said the woman who voted for the buboes-all-over-everybody's-body party

rincewind.run•5 days ago

some people just want to see the world end in sickness but not, apparently, in fire

breepm.bsky.social•5 days ago

What even are surveys really?

kathleencarson.bsky.social•5 days ago

I bet there is a decent subset who totally ignore the reality of entire communities dying to focus on the collapse of feudalism and think they are really smart.

That and another subset who are like "haha, great band name."

jejunebug77.bsky.social•5 days ago

People who can’t read is much more likely …sadly

thepines.bsky.social•5 days ago

Until I see this hurt Trump directly tho

ziltoid1991.bsky.social•5 days ago

The same eugenicists that are now in control of the US healthcare system thanks to Trump and RFK Jr.

jennvg.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm wondering what the neithers are thinking here exactly.

springtick.bsky.social•5 days ago

WHO ARE THE 9%!?

lord-head.bsky.social•5 days ago

RFK Jr

erinnutt.bsky.social•5 days ago

💯

amwhelan.bsky.social•5 days ago

The 9% has me spiraling

hawaiianimages.bsky.social•5 days ago

Admittedly, if we still had a chivalric code, there are SEVERAL people who would have been challenged to duels and killed by now. Maybe we should rethink this...

maxximenez.bsky.social•4 days ago

We literally wouldn't have liberalism without the bubonic plague

discretionary-duck.bsky.social•5 days ago

You laugh, but you DO know at least one person who thinks "God, I wish the Black Plague took you all", don't you? Don't lie.

d4rkong.bsky.social•5 days ago

Gotta admit, I have at times been the guy thinking that (usually when I'm in a supermarket).

ignominious.bsky.social•5 days ago

That 800-level Monasticism course I took in grad school informs me that monasteries belong with the plague.
Those places were where you sent your unwanteds to endure torture, humiliation, and death.😬

amyhoy.bsky.social•5 days ago

why is gregorian chanting underwater ??

gabbklein.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's silly. How are you going to do any kind of chant underwater.

amyhoy.bsky.social•5 days ago

actual lollll

courtneymilan.com•5 days ago

It’s not really, it has more favorable set than unfavorables. I just think a lot of people don’t know what it is.

madamehardy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do they remember *no* videogames?

amyhoy.bsky.social•5 days ago

or eclectic radio music in the late 90s, very early 00s

amyhoy.bsky.social•5 days ago

or that one tv ad selling cds, you know the one

kathleencarson.bsky.social•5 days ago

Apparently underpolled Gen Xers who were listening to it in their cars in the 1990s and overpolled Millennials who were forced to listen to it in Gen Xers' cars in the 1990s.

amyhoy.bsky.social•5 days ago

aha, of course you’re right. i’m a little tipsy and got distracted by the big shiny red bar

geekgalgroks.bsky.social•5 days ago

Obviously we need to bring it back like we did in 1994.

casemonster.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m willing to bet it’s less popular than the Mass Effect 3 ending. The original one.

majima.club•5 days ago

Can we all make a big fuss and have them rewrite this timeline too? I’m fine with whichever one makes me disintegrate

casemonster.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean, I have heard rumblings about Elon’s voting machines rigging the election…

radlein.bsky.social•5 days ago

I just want us all to be able to kick back and party in the Citadel

majima.club•5 days ago

I am 1000% just showing up for the Ryncol and some azure

Followers of Nurgle out number those of Khorne confirmed.

catopuma.bsky.social•5 days ago

At this pace, with this administration, I think we'll get the plague, the Inquisition, and the Hundred Years War. They look to be hard at work to achieve these goals.

jenwith1n.bsky.social•5 days ago

At what point do we talk about the third of Americans who think favorably about the crusades lol

patricearial.bsky.social•5 days ago

#GeorgeW
He was right about Middle East problems with America being like the Crusades.

ushijiminy.bsky.social•5 days ago

this is such a hilarious poll. “interestingly people like elaborate buildings but not mass death”

padawanjon.bsky.social•5 days ago

That 9% must be cat owners

unremembered80s.bsky.social•5 days ago

Makes sense, there are a bunch of different plagues and who wants to die of some obscure one nobody's heard of? It just makes sense to go with what people know and trust.

kristadb1.bsky.social•5 days ago

This reminds me of the survey that showed more Canadians believed the earth was flat and that aliens walk among us than wanted to join the US lol

mbinnc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Seriously, when was the last time 85% of Americans agreed on ANYthing?
