In any survey of humans, there will be some small percentage of the responders who are in a mood to just tweak the system. Distinguishing them from people who genuinely hold marginal beliefs (fake moon landing, flat earth) or even from people who socially adopt positions that they don't really believe (Jesus is returning in 2032, Kim Il Sung is guiding our leadership to victory) is often difficult.

I wonder if HN would benefit from a [serious] tag the way some subreddits use it. Though, if OP could give a longer description of why they're running such a poll (I guess to see the demographics) I would expect more people to answer seriously rather than give low effort/joke responses.

#7The fact that the ranges aren't equal makes it pretty useless to parse, unless entered in a spreadsheet later, and I couldn't be bothered to do that.
There's no reason to have one category for the 5 years 16-20, and the most common age group of Internet savvy working age adults to be lumped in two 10 year "26-35" and "36-45" ranges.
Oh well. It's just for fun I guess.

#8Can't believe I'm reading here for almost ten years already, which means I've started at ~18. Kudos on everyone who is young and reading HN, or lobste.rs, or any other special interest group/community. I remember back then, I was still in high school, it gave me a lot of "dissonance" about "real world" (including me hanging around in the local hackspace) and what we did in school. I hated every single moment in school. Stay with your dreams, everything you do will matter at a later point in your life. Even if you're just having a series of never finished attempts, it somehow pays out at a later point. Curiosity is key. <3

NAK.
Hacker News is pretty serious compared to most social media, and I love that. Which makes some rare harmless comments or posts like this one actually good to encounter once in a while.
The seriousness-to-joke ratio of this site is just perfect in my opinion.

IKR, what a waste of an 8th bit, when a 7-bit integer would have met the requirements. Software bloat has reached new extremes.
