We seem to oftentimes like voting more than liking, reblogging, and replying combined! This blog is a record of this fact and its dramatic exceptions.
Post criteria
Must contain a poll (the Tumblr native feature, but ancient ad hoc edit polls may be accepted)
Must have more poll votes than post notes, the greater the ratio the better; OR must have at least 2x as many post notes as poll votes
Bonus points (and tags) for having a popular "other" option or equivalent
Posts are queued, 2 per day. (Let me know if you think it should be more frequent!)
Post format
Vote to note ratio = [votes]:[notes] ≈* [votes÷notes**]x as many [votes as notes / NOTES as VOTES]
* Or =, if the division is exact. ** Or the reciprocal, whichever is greater. Rounded up to the nearest 2 decimal places. This metric is used for the tags below.
Submissions
Tag this blog when reblogging/replying to candidate polls or DM links!
Tag system
In no particular order:
#vote to note ratio: official @vote-to-note-ratio post
#not vote to note ratio: offtopic/meta post, such as this one
#off schedule: post was posted immediately, bypassing the queue
#as of time of writing: just to clarify that numbers are as of when the post is written and not updated after the fact
#ongoing poll: post written when poll was still live
#closed poll: post written after poll closed
*#“other” supermajority: at least 2/3 of the votes were "other"/equivalent
#binary poll: poll with only two choices
#supermajority: at least one option received at least 2/3 of the votes
#majority: at least one option received greater than 1/2 of the votes
*#“other” majority: greater than 1/2 of the votes were "other"/equivalent
*#“other” plurality: the option with the most votes was "other"/equivalent
*#“yes” supermajority: in a yes/no #binary poll, the "yes" option or equivalent won with at least 2/3 of the vote
*#“no” supermajority: in a yes/no #binary poll, the "no" option or equivalent won with at least 2/3 of the vote
*#“yes” majority: in a yes/no #binary poll, the "yes" option or equivalent won
*#“no” majority: in a yes/no #binary poll, the "no" option or equivalent won
#>[X]x: at least [X]x as many votes as notes, where [X] is 2, 5, 10, 20, et/aut cetera
#<1x: more notes than votes
#<1/[X]x: at least [X]x as many notes as votes, where [X] is 2, 5, 10, 20, et/aut cetera
#=0x: the poll received no votes

Did your parents ever agree to an impromptu sleepover?*
Yes, at my house
Yes, at a friend's house
Yes, both
No, I only had pre-planned sleepovers
No, I never had a sleepover at all
Nuance?

*Meaning either you sleeping over at a friend's house or them sleeping over at yours, without having arranged it in advance. You're having a normal playdate with the expectation that the guest will go home, but it's then agreed that they can stay.
You can count family members (e.g. cousins) if sleeping over was a special occasion and not a regular routine thing.
Don't count emergencies where someone couldn't go home for whatever reason. Only purely voluntary sleepovers.
I see all these memes about 'asking if your friend can sleep over', and that never worked for me. Sleepovers always had to be agreed in advance.
Before you are two magic buttons.
Button A: you will never have to clean your kitchen again (dishes are automatically done; floor swept and mopped; etc).
Button B: you will never have to clean your bathroom again (toilet & sink & tub/shower cleaned and sanitized; etc)
Which button do you push?
So many comments, many of them wise and all of them heartfelt, and yet nobody has thought to add ...
the fridge-freezer is in the kitchen. Not only are there dishes every day, not only are there food preparation surfaces of various kinds every day, not only are there crumbs and odds and ends that fall on the floor every day ... but the fridge-freezer is in the kitchen. The oven is in the kitchen, the food cupboards are in the kitchen, and above all THE KITCHEN BIN IS IN THE KITCHEN.
I mean, it's not like the bathroom is all sweetness and light, but seriously! Who in their right mind is choosing the bathroom?!?!?!?
Having a magically-self-cleaning bathroom would be cool, but it wouldn't dramatically change my lifestyle.
If I could cook or bake whatever the hell I wanted, knowing that all my pots and mixing bowls and baking sheets would just zap themselves clean when I finished? If I knew that I could spill batter or grease inside the oven or burn things onto baking racks and it would just go away? I would be making delicious shit constantly.
What is your Blorbo's relationship to a minor inconvenience?
Weeps openly on the floor until someone brings them a blanket
Immediately commits arson to assert dominance
Blames their arch-nemesis, even if it's completely unrelated
Completely unfazed because they’ve been through ten apocalypses this week

Every poll on this blog is about fictional characters only. This request was sent to us and we made a poll in response to it. Send any Blorbo-related question you want to our inbox and we’ll make a poll on which people can vote with their own Blorbos in minds
I was making some duck polls with images from DuckDuckGo, and accidentally discovered they have browser logo Easter eggs for certain searches! Did anyone else know about these?!
I knew about the Easter eggs and have stumbled across some before
I knew about the Easter eggs but haven't stumbled across any
I didn't know about the Easter eggs

IF YOU KNOW ANY MORE, PLEASE COMMENT! I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN!😃
here's another idea for a poll! I think this will have some interesting results. this sentence is here to pad out this paragraph so people who don't read posts will be more likely to accidentally miss these instructions. if you're reading this, please select option eleven. here's another sentence to make this block of text look longer. anyway here's my fun poll idea!
