Interesting, fun. Suggestion: I really miss not seeing the results. After answering several questions, I really wanted to see what the final jury decision was. I saw a question from a father asking about leaving his assets to his children. I would want to know what the other 11 random people selected (for various reasons). Without this feature, I think I might start to lose interest because it'll start to feel like I…

Feels like a test you can't ace or fail. If we don't care, no reason to not pick the first option to get to your answers.

Would love to be able to offer a nuanced answer, you could still give the questioner 12 answers from people who accepted/responded to framing.

I’d also like to see such responses.

I’d also like to skip.

I’d also like to see my past questions and results, and results for at least questions I recently responded to.

No commentary, just a verdict between two choices If the userbase becomes equally-ish distributed around the world, for many questions, this wouldn't be very useful. Especially when you only get a yes/no answer. People can give you the same answer fo…

Bingo. Further, there are some questions which I don’t the opinions of people from particular countries. If I want opinions to a some moral dilemma, I would probably be inclined to go against the verdict if all or most of the jurors happened to come from Israeli’s.

so sorry about that! there was a bug 3 months ago (when i was just testing it with family and friends) when that happened, and one random question would repeat! And it's just come back tongiht!! (just as I post on hacker news!) i think it's fixed now! And thank you again!

It's still happening.

Skipping unanswerable questions would be good for everyone. Any answer would be misleading. But answer choices should not be qualified by anything, because that systematically creates unanswerable regions. There should be Context and Question, narrowed down any way the questioner wants. Then just “Yes” or “No” without qualification. That is what a jury does. Or: allow answer qualifications, followed by an automatic “…

Even one of the poster's sample question, the one about the brothers third wedding, is one I would not want to answer with a simple yes/no.

Definitely not answerable. Not without knowing whether it’s a cash bar or an open bar.

I did a few and would almost not want to respond with boolean answers unless I could provide some commentary (which the recipient could choose to read or not).

To be fair, from what I understand, in the US judicial system at least, a jury can't provide commentary. Or ask questions.

Whether or not that is a good system is another question.

I feel like there needs to be a third option, which might be "not a good question" or "false dichotomy" or "low quality"

for example, i got "Q: Is Luigi Mangione guilty of murdering the CEO of United Healthcare?"

Well yes, he shot the guy on camera. Due process and all of that, he's probably guilty. It's like asking is the sky blue. What's the point? That's a low quality question. Did you mean "is jury nullification a good choice" or "is what he did morally right"?

Also got asked if I ever had a physical fight with a sibling.

Well, I don't have one, so no. Perhaps not what the question was intending.

If I'm logged in I should be able to see the final results of anything I voted for as well as the ability to remove a question result from my account.

If I'm not logged in I should be able to get a unique identifier that let's me go back to a question and see the results.
