It's pornhub's own searches, so there is a not insignificant portion ofpeople who have to specify they want minecraft porn, as though they'll get redstone tutorials.

The Yogscast once mentioned that somebody, somewhere, uploaded one of their Hole Diggers episodes to Pornhub. Not sure why.

Are there laws saying an elector should be a citizen of their state? Or even an American at all?

All I know is that I think it was someone in a Freep mock thread over in D&D figuring out that a child born in America to two illegal immigrants would be completely legally capable of running for President.

I like how feminism is one of the most 'lunatic fringe' 'ideologies' among the left, even worse than straight up radicalism and apparently on par with racism.

Even so, anyone who says that a teacher is a more prestigious job than a congressman is lying to themselves.

Far as I can tell, this graph is a depiction of how people rate those respondents. So, of all respondents, people rank teachers as more prestigious than clergymen, soldiers and congressmen, but less prestigious than doctors, scientists and firefighters.

I think a better measurement for this would be 'respect', since it seems to have been taken that way and makes more sense.

I don't know that I believe that a car is a whole order of magnitude safer than an airplane.

For some reason, the airplane one is using an entirely different metric, of how likely you are to die from a specifically airplane-related terrorist attack (of which I don't think there's been much).

Even then, I would believe that car crashes are safer than plane crashes, just because I'm pretty sure a single plane crash is gonna cause a lot more casualties than a single car crash.

I like that over half of people polled don't care. They really went through a lot of effort to show that the majority opinion is 'eh', and that the other two stances are both fairly close.

I don't think I buy the single parent making more than the single working woman.

Or, y'know, anything else there. But that's what's jumping out at me on this review of it.

Oh sorry, I was sure it was subnormality

Nah, Subnormality is more wordy than that would probably not display the data as cleanly.

SMBC is less wordy than that, and wouldn't try to present the data directly, but only if it's doing a graph joke. If it's not doing a graph joke, it will be clearer than Subnormality, but a little too preachy until it reaches a weird semi-punchline.

Australia's health minister has been caught in a scandal, putting a huge amount of travel expenses on taxpayer dollar to do things like buy apartments.



...at least, maybe she is. I know what this thing's trying to say and I don't follow it.

I've always thought that the big surge of UFO conspiracies generally happened in the 90s (you had stuff like Roswell before that, but the 90s is really when that hit the zeitgeist), and a big part of that is probably the geopolitical situation at the time. The 90s was the first time in perhaps most of a century when people didn't really have something big and unknowable to fear or worry about. That's probably why you have a lot of generally happy pop culture at the time, but people were so used to being scared of something that, in a world without those, they started imagining that threat coming from outside their world. Stuff like the X-Files helped it along by putting it on a huge pop culture stage, but they were tapping into something already there.

Then of course 9/11 happened, and the big conspiracies changed over time from being about aliens to being about the government, or terrorism. Aliens didn't seem like such a big deal when given a human conflict to worry about.

Terrible bored-at-work nerd thoughts about this:

1) Mario's canonical surname is "Mario," right? Are we sure that Dr. Mario isn't just a relative with the same surname? Mario's well-to-do cousin Dr. Lucio Mario or something.

Dr. Mario also has a Nurse Peach, so we seem to be dealing with an alternate universe situation.

The Cheshire Cat posted:

Yeah the problem is the market for "this is a tool for couples that have difficulty communicating due to issues of past trauma with one or both partners" is a lot smaller than the market for "this is for people that wanna gently caress but think that verbal consent is like, such a turn off"

Yeah, this is kinda just a sex-oriented version of weird infomercial products. Those are usually made for people with disabilities, but those profit margins are really tiny and in some cases can make someone feel less capable for having to have them. So, market it to normal people who apparently have the world's weirdest able-bodied problems, you get a larger market.

Although in this case part of me wonders if they know that and designed their product for this real if rare need, or if they're just techbros trying to innovate where it's not needed and accidentally making a product useful to a small subset of the population.

The one that concerns me is 'skin'. Because that means that either they're specifically looking for something I can only imagine is horrifying, or they've had to include 'skin' in their searches to ensure the results actually include skin, and in that case the fact they're adding that speaks poorly of every other state for apparently being fine without that criteria.
