Now this is how you conduct a poll.

More proof that smoking restricts blood flow to the brain. If any were needed.

And the ties between addictive behavior and conspiracy theorists

The moon landing was faked.

NASA got Kubrick to direct, and being a perfectionist, he insisted they shoot on location.

They'll save money on catering.

This comment is funny because Full Metal Jacket was filmed entirely in England

Cause nothing screams "sound judgement" like a nicotine addiction.

I love when people are like "if you get a windfall of money you'll probably go bankrupt. Look at the statistics from lottery winners, 70% of them end up broke."

Ah yes, a subset of the population whose only common traits are that they gamble and make objectively terrible financial decisions. Obviously this group should be the benchmark for the financial literacy and money management of the general population.

- No, winners aren't all dumbasses. This post is smart and important to understand the whole thing.

- True, though let's not act as if the family and friends constantly asking for money or expectating it, old acquaintances suddenly claiming you abused/assaulted/scammed them knowing you'll just settle out of court to get them to fuck off, haven't happened even to fiscally responsible people as well.
  
  There's more than just bad financial literacy with some of them, as not all lottery winners are always broke gamblers. The majority are, but not all. So the fact that almost every single person loses it all in a couple years should indicate that it still has massive potential to make your life harder even if you know what you're doing and don't succumb to massive overspending.

- Well now I wonder if there’s a control for that in the studies. Would I make good or poor choices in the same situation?
  
  I’d still roll the dice.

A used heroin needle poll however, that's how you get the opinions of our greatest minds

21

This is just like the tip cups that say "Star Trek" vs "Star Wars" or whatever. It's not about the actual choices. It's about getting people to put stuff in one or the other.

This question gets people to put their butts in the disposal, rather than on the ground.

56

Also, I don't believe the moon landing was faked, but I would totally put my cigarette butt in that one. Get my butt vote, conspiracy nuts. Who cares.

The actual label is the least factor in where I put it.

(I don't know why my brain feels the need to clarify this to strangers on the internet, but for the record, I don't actually smoke)

33
- Glad you clarified youre not smoking, thats imaginary bonus points for you.

Do more smokers think the moon landing is fake?

Do people who think the moon landing was fake smoke more?

Are people who think the moon landing is fake more likely to smoke?

Is "fake" just closer to the smokers?

44

I bet people are putting them in the "fake" side as a joke.

35
- 100%, id totally put my butt in the fake side if I were a smoker for laughs
  
  19
Did they paint the sign after letting it fill up?

16
Was the image photoshopped to show the "survey" text?

4
This would be a damn good way to get data in the 60s though.

3
Do people who believe the moonlanding is fake smoke more cigarets than others?

What if a couple chain smokers are responsible for all the no votes?

2
Did they just have to empty the other bin sooner?

Stupid people smoke

35

Majority of people believe the Moon landing was real. Conspiracy Georg, who smokes 100 packs a day was an outlier and should not have been counted.

23

this is more of a study of what percentage of smokers here have a sense of humor. People don't take these things seriously for the most part, voting no at least brings a moment of joy if you consider it humorous.

23

One of the biggest proponents of the moon landing being real is that the USSR believed it happened. You can imagine the amount of sensors and cameras pointed at the moon to denounce the US if it was fake. Especially while at the height of the space race. Whoever got to the moon first would be the ones to claim it.

22

It's because of the lizard people controlling both states at the time

4

I mean, this is a great way to determine if smokers are idiots.

Looking like the majority is a yes.

15

Well actually the majority is a no

2

I love people, always willing to commit to the bit

12

What really gets me is the comments here revealing how little Lemmy users understand the average human

11

Butt poll

11

Now I need to take up smoking so I can vote

10

That's why you need to be 18 to get the vote.

This might be a viable strategy to avoid the littering of cigarette butts.

It’s amazing that we had the video and image technology to fake the moon landing back in the 60’s, but we still don’t have the technical ability to fake a cigarette butt poll on the internet over half a century later.

6

Ha, look at these idiots who still think the moon is real.

6

That's not what unanimous means 🤔

5

Were is this exactly? I'll start chain smoking for this

4

Now flip the signs and the butts will still be on same side because it’s closer to the walkway

I think I saw this one with a different poll
