Is Your Brain a Democrat or Republican?
A 2014 scientific study showed a certain trait determined whether you are conservative or liberal. Find out where you stand.
BWAHAHAHAHA

@boomzilla My brain doesn't vote.

Nailed it!

Oh, they changed the answers starting at that question.

So it's a square piece of chocolate? Or is it a piece of chocolate shaped like a square dog's poop?
-
Yeah, no. Not at all.

And I have no idea whether that's right, wrong, or not even wrong.

So this basically boils down to the thinking that Republicans are easily disgusted and Democrats arn't?

Actually exactly that. Which is why it's crap.

No disgust/slight disgust/moderate disgust/much disgust/extreme disgustI wanted to say "extreme disgust", because I would try to avoid touching a dead pet cat, but if it was newly dead, I probably wouldn't really have any issues.
If it had been dead for a while, though...
My parents actually had one die (not their cat) in the insulation underneath the kitchen of their mobile home. We didn't realize it was there until it had half-rotted and was stinking up the house. I made myself unavailable when it came time to find and get rid of the body.You see someone put ketchup on vanilla ice cream, and eat it.
No disgust/slight disgust/moderate disgust/much disgust/extreme disgustThat's weird, but not what I would consider disgusting.
You see a man with his intestines exposed after an accident.

Your brain is a Democrat
Conservative (29%) ---------|--------------------- Liberal (71%)Yeeeeeaaahhh, no.
And if I want to understand how they get their results, I have to either buy a book or watch a 14-minute, 2-second TED Talk. But they used a different, less-accurate method of determining disgust than the original research did, so this questionnaire is really nothing more than a silly gimmick.
-
"If I see someone vomit, it makes me sick to my stomach."
Yes, it makes me sick. That's some kind of hard-wired psychological reaction. It's probably a lot stronger if I smell it. Now, please, somebody explain to me how that has anything to do with politics? Like, at all.
BWAHAHAHA
Yeah, I consider myself something like a "social democrat" (not sure how well that translates), so unless you're actually counting Sanders as a capital D Democrat now, there's no US party I don't consider too right-wing. No, the Dems aren't left from my POV. Hey, you consider our conservative right-wing chancellor a liberal left-wing, so I get to do the same in reverse.

-
@Dragoon Any other dead and rotting thing, you mean?
It was falling apart, was full of maggots, and even had the fiberglass insulation mixed in. It was just at the most repulsive state of rotting. And in the claustrophobic crawlspace, there wasn't any fresh air coming through, so any disturbance of the body resulted in fur and fiberglass poofing out from the corpse and an overpowering stench, with nothing else to breathe.
And the entry into the crawlspace was such that a large shovel could not be brought down to scoop the remains into a bag, so it all had to be done by hand or with a little gardening trowel.

Well when you finish, the bottom of the page says

so I don't think it's particularly serious.

@djls45 said in Guess your ideology:

I have moved plenty of dead things. Leaving a Styrofoam container that once held chicken breasts in my trash over a hot weekend smelled worse than most of them. So, yeah I suppose we can go with dead and rotting.

That will allow you to grab the bulk of it pretty quickly while reducing the risk of it breaking apart.

@djls45 said in Guess your ideology:

The worst thing I have ever smelled (and closest I have ever been to vomiting from a smell) was when my brother and I were cleaning out the hen house. We broke some eggs that were probably 6months old (maybe older). I can not articulate the foulness of that odor.

I'm pretty sure that's what they did. Oh, and the body was inside the plastic that had been over the insulation, so they had to cut the plastic to get it out, and since they couldn't see what it was beforehand, when they cut it, the body fell out and splatted.

Ooh, that is bad. We recently had some food that had been made with eggs, but it started smelling really rancid, so we figured it hadn't been cooked thoroughly and threw it out.

Wat. What do you do,
?
They're trying really hard to trick me with negation, aren't they?
Real question: Are you superstitious?
Well... Duh?
Why would this be considered disgusting? Anyone?
Were you expecting roses and daisies?
BTDT. Sad times...
Sounds risque.
Yeah, I didn't stay on that site for very long...
Eh, was a little too dark for my tastes. No, what was fun is washing your hands with soap in the shape of a nice long excretion....
Again with the superstition?
That would be exciting, but... why would you do that?
BTDT. No, the cold state of the ground was probably worse...
I have no idea how accurate this is. Thoughts?

?Actually, yes, I have resorted to that in a dire situation with a disgustingly unclean bathroom as the only option. I went in the handicapped stall, which has the arm rails, and put a protective layer of TP on the seat just in case. Then I held on to the arm rails like it was a gymnastics routine to keep my ass from accidentally making contact with the seat while I squatted.

Normally I'd say "pics or it didn't happen" but in this case I'd be asking for pics of darkmatter and I hesitate...

@tsaukpaetra and that it would mean either someone photographed me on the shitter, or i can hold my entire body weight on one arm while taking a selfie and shitting... a true gymnastic feat.

also, it is very very difficult to actually take a shit while supporting your body weight like that. too many muscles being asked to do too many different things at once.

Well, I mean if you support yourself by standing on the walls I imagine it wouldn't be too hard, but yeah, kinda strenuous.

I love how every questionnaire on the internet is like this, and despite that people keep answering them and commenting on them (and on how silly they are).

@topspin said in Guess your ideology:
@boomzilla
They ask you fun things like are you a terrorist (Duh), have you ever participated in genocide (I think you'd know my name then), and do you plan to overthrow the US government.The reason I've always heard for these is so that if you lied, they can easily expel you for lying on the immigration form, without having to go through a whole trial in the US first or some other complicated procedure. The standard of proof for that is probably much lower than for the offense about which you would have lied.
For example the terror acts you might have participated in might not be directly prosecutable in the US (because it would have happened overseas so outside of US jurisdiction?), so if you "forgot" to mention it, they could not expel you just because of your participation to it, but they could expel you for having lied about it. Of course they'll also deny you entry in the first place if you mention it, but that's also the point (i.e. if you've done one of those things, you're not welcome in the US).
A quick search more or less confirms this, and there are even at least a couple of known examples of this happening.

Hover. Apparently that's a thing.
As alternative to covering the toilet seat with squares of toilet paper which is also apparently a thing:
