Poll Results

Over the past week, we’ve made posts looking into the history of several topics based on the results of a poll we conducted. As promised, here are the full results! We asked a total of eight questions, and then chose five of them to look into for our posts.

Note that we’ve removed joke answers and “N/A” answers from these results, so if you notice a question has less responses than another, that’s why.
