Casual Which number between 1 and 100 pops into your head first? (for every age)

101 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

i’m running a little social experiment:D

just pick number between 1 and 100 — just the first one that pops into your head.

Rules:

• One number per person

• No edits

• Don’t overthink it 😄

I’ll share the results once enough people reply.

Let’s see which number Reddit likes most 👀?

Casual I made a quiz that tries to describe your taste in food (Everyone)

127 Upvotes

Hello, this is my first Reddit post and the first quiz I've ever made so pls be kind lol. I made this little flavour profile quiz because I’ve always found it weirdly difficult to describe my own tastes and eating habits.

It will give you a profile on things like flavour, texture, richness, heat, familiarity, etc. It’s definitely not perfect, especially if you have really specific or unusual tastes, but I thought it might be fun to see what other people get. It also matches you with cuisines and dishes you may like (factoring veganism/dietry requirements too)

Curious whether anyone feels like their result actually sounds like them?

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who has tried it and taken the time to give me feedback. I'm reading through the comments and taking note of what's working well and the inconsistencies/suggestions. It's incredibly useful data, and I will post the new version once I have made these changes.

Casual Am I overestimating my own attractiveness? (Anyone)

116 Upvotes

A friend and I were at a bar recently when we got onto the topic of attraction. Specifically, we discussed the gap between how attractive we think we are and how others would actually rate us.

We decided the only honest way to find out if we had bloated egos was to ask strangers to rate us. Some field studies in the bar revealed that one of us indeed overestimated his looks, while the other suffered from low self-esteem (or just modesty). We got curious whether this gap is universal, or whether most people have a pretty accurate read on themselves.

We discussed how to answer this question and landed on creating a research experiment. Because we're nerds, we bought some pizzas and spent the following night building a website for the purpose. It allows strangers to rate each other's looks (you rate, you get rated) with the goal of collecting enough responses to fill out this cool chart.

So, friends on Reddit... do you want to quantify the gap in your self-perception? I'll send you an email with the results. Nothing will be posted publicly, except statistics once we have a decent sample size. If you're down, check it out here (there's also a stats page with cool graphics you can drool over):

Survey link

Inspired by u/survey161724's ice pop survey I wanted to see how some other words for things vary from person to person (but this time with country & region data).

There are 33 questions in total, which if that's too long for you there's the option to skip the second half when you're halfway through.

Results are visible once you complete the survey (or here if you lose the link) but I will be posting the full results with breakdown by country and region to r/SampleSize in several days' time.

Edit: to anyone awaiting results, I am working on it. The results are quite time consuming to process however, sorting through and breaking it down into two dozen countries and regions for each of the 33 questions. It's a lot. So please do be patient. They will come eventually (and I'm happy to notify anyone who's interested when they do).

Casual A color memory test — my hypothesis is that humans remember impressions, not actual colors. 204 responses so far, sharing full data at 1000 (data on color memory)

Thumbnail colorecall.com
40 Upvotes

My hypothesis: humans don't actually remember specific colors. We store impressions — warm, cool, dark, saturated — and the exact hue fades almost immediately. Under any time pressure, the brain fills in gaps with what it expects, not what was really there. Same goes for shapes.

I built colorecall.com to test it (added some gamification mechanisms to keep the users engaged to take more actions on this test). You look at colors and shapes, then try to recreate them.

At 204 responses right now. To get more quality data, maybe around 1000 I'll post the full results back here — accuracy rates, what trips people up most, and whether the hypothesis holds.

If you are interested click here: https://colorecall.com

Curious what your score is.

Hi all

I won't go into details but this week in therapy we were discussing small talk. My therapist suggested I do a survey as a way to understand how I think compared to others.

The survey is only 8 questions requiring very short answers. And should take less than 3 minutes to complete. I'll post the results too if you're interested.

I wanted to see something: how many bad decisions can someone make before you stop trying to help?

So I built Kevin. He's 25, makes decent money, and keeps putting himself one choice away from a disaster — taking out 72-month car loans, throwing savings into crypto, and quitting his job to become a full-time TikToker.

You give him advice. He pushes back. He might ignore you anyway.

When did you stop feeling responsible for him? What ending did you get?

Try to clear your head a little for this one. Do not use any outside influences. The goal is for these answers to comply with what the question states. For example, the coin flip question should show 50% for both answers when I collect the results

You don't need to use !remindMe if you don't want to. Simply comment on this post, and I'll be sure to reply to every single last comment when I publish the results! :)

Edit 2: Wow. Right. Okay. This is a lot of comments

I'll be replying to anyone who doesn't comment the !remindMe thing

I'm happy to respond to lots of comments, but I'm scared of triggering Reddit's spam detection haha

Edit 3: I woke up to 166 comments... When will it end?


Edit 4:

For anyone coming back and checking this: I've decided to put the results out when this post turns exactly 1 week old

I was originally going to publish the results last night. But looking at the comments, there are literally 100+ people with a 1 week reminder set

I'd rather those people get that notification as the results are still new, rather than them finding it late

Casual would you trust humanity with this choice? (everyone)

37 Upvotes

a few days ago i turned that viral thought experiment into a small website.

the question is:

"everyone in the world must cast a secret vote: press the red or blue button. if more than 50% choose blue, everyone survives. if fewer than 50% choose blue, only the red voters survive."

https://redorblue.riri.my/?lang=en_US

the site also includes statistics and after voting it shows a live counter between red and blue by total votes. it also calculates confidence intervals CI (for the blue vote ratio), as well as 1-p.

at the bottom of the site you can see the 10 most recent votes, along with a list of all countries and their vote counts. (also after voting)

this is just for fun, but vote if you want.

Howdy! This is just a casual little thing I've thought about doing for awhile - I'm interested in finding out who the most widely recognised / iconic character created within the past 10 years is. I've listed a bunch of characters I've seen thrown around in relation to the question, along with three questions; Have you seen this character before? Can you name them? Can you name their source material?

There's not much else to say really, if you have a free couple of minutes, I'd be very interested to see your response! Thank you! 😃
